Rogue Most Wanted (The Cavensham Heiresses, #5)
Janna MacGregor
There’s one creed all Cavensham men subscribe to: they fall in love completely, and decidedly. But what happens when the woman you fall in love with is already your wife? Rogue Most Wanted is the next book in the sparkling, romantic Cavensham Heiress series by Janna MacGregor. SHE NEEDS TO MARRY HIM Miss Theodora Worth needs to marry fast in order to keep the land within her family. It’s been her heart and home for years, and she’ll not lose it to anyone. There’s just one problem—as a woman who was raised in isolation by her grandfather, she’s completely incapable of pouring a cup of tea, never mind wooing a man. She’ll need a little matchmaking help from her sprightly next-door neighbor in order to find a convenient husband… SO THEY’LL FORM A FAKE ENGAGEMENT Lord William Cavensham’s heart was broken years ago, and since that day he vowed to never love again. But his spirited Great Aunt Stella has demanded he marry, or he’ll not inherit a single penny from her. And she’s got just the woman in mind—her beautiful and completely hapless next-door neighbor, Thea… BUT PERHAPS IT’S NOT SO FAKE AFTER ALL Thea and Will agree there’s no sense in really, truly marrying each other. Will wholeheartedly believes he’s incapable of love, and Thea refuses to live out the rest of her days married but lonely. They agree to fake an engagement until the week is out—and in the meantime, Will vows to help Thea find the man of her dreams. But the more he helps her, the more Will believes Thea might be the one to mend his broken heart. And despite meeting scores of suitors to help save her land, Will may be the rogue Thea wants the most after all…

Thea and Will were wonderful.
Thea has no experience in the ton. She’s been in the country taking care of her ailing grandfather. Thea keeps the ton from discovering that her grandfather is senile so the family won’t lose lands or title. She learns how to mange the lands and tenants from the inside. Of course, as a woman, she cannot inherit an English title. Lucky for her, the estate she lives on come with. A Scottish title and she can inherit it, if she can find the original documemt granting the title and lands.
Her cousin, the inheritor if the English tutor, wants to unite both titles and decides to take her before the board.
Will fell in love young and was jilted by his love for a man with more money and a higher title. He’s happy managing his families lands but marriage is not for him. His eccentric aunt Stella asks him to help Thea with the challenge to get title, even marry her if necessary.
When they meet, they establish they will not be marrying but he will help her with the title issue and assist her in preparing for the ton.
I loved so many things about this book:
The characters are well developed. They don’t always make the best decisions but they aren’t constantly mucking things up.
The main characters build a friendship and slowly feelings shift.
They have conversations and admire one another for their intellects.
Will’s family is so wonderful. I love how they step in and help Thea because she is important to Will.
This book is a slower burn. The characters are interesting and the story solid. It is a quieter romance without huge amounts of drama.
I loved the writing style and look forward to reading more from this author.
0Janna MacGregor's "Rogue Most Wanted" from The Cavensham Heiresses series was a decent historical romance with some quirks that landed it at a three-star rating for me. Overall, the elements offered a promising premise, but at times, the execution felt a bit too contrived. The cinnamon roll hero, Lord William Cavensham, added a sweet touch to the story, and the friends-first dynamic between him and Lady Theodora Worth was charming. However, the plot occasionally felt predictable, and the chemistry between the characters, though enjoyable, didn't fully resonate with me. While it didn't quite reach the heights of a five-star read, "Rogue Most Wanted" still provides a light and entertaining escape into the world of historical romance.
