About this listen

 In this Regency rom-com, when a Duke and a reporter team up to uncover his family’s secrets, their search brings up more than they bargained for—including their feelings for each other.

Diana Merriwell and Giles Sinclair only tolerate one another for the sake of their nearest and dearest. Everyone believes that the two of them are meant to be together, but Diana and Giles know that their constant pithy barbs come from a shared disdain—not a hidden attraction. Diana loves the freedom of working at the newspaper too much to give it up for marriage, and Giles is happily married to his bachelor lifestyle. But they do have one thing in common—the secrets they can’t risk escaping.

When Giles’ father, the curmudgeonly Duke of Harpenden unexpectedly turns up his toes, it’s only a matter of time before someone comes crawling out of the woodwork who knows the true circumstances of his only son's birth. As the threat of blackmail becomes real, Giles must uncover the truth of his parentage first, or else he and all those who depend upon him will be ruined—and dogged bloodhound Diana is his best hope at sniffing out the truth. As Giles and Diana dive into his family’s past, the attraction that the two of them insisted wasn’t there proves impossible to ignore. Soon, the future of the Sinclair estate isn’t the only thing on the line…
Never Rescue a Rogue, the next book in the Merriwell Sisters series, is filled with whip-smart banter, swoony romance, hilarious mishaps, and twisty reveals that will make you gasp and laugh in delight; Virginia Heath’s latest is one you won’t want to miss.

Virginia Heath has SUCH a beautiful cadence to her writing that suits historical fiction, and immediately tosses the reader back in time. Her choice of words sets the scene as much as any other part of the novel, and are positively wonderful to read. Her writing is some of the best, and this narrator brings them to life beautifully.

This book in particular follows the second Merriwell sister, Diana, after her sister’s marriage in book 1. Diana strains against the confines of womanhood in Regency English society. As an FMC, she’s more serious, more independent, more removed from the society she’s been thrown into, with her sister marrying an earl. She’s wonderfully defiant, brave and not at all interested in men, marriage, or love. Her match, therefore, could only be Giles, a man determined to thumb his nose at his father and his ‘duty.’ Giles is determined to be known as a rogue, but is secretly magnanimous on all counts. Both of them are determined to maintain their independence, determined to avoid love.

As much as the first book took on the tenor of Minerva’s good and unfortunate luck, this one too takes on Diana’s personality too. There’s a maturity to this book, compared to book one - one that is the perfect match to Giles’ irreverence and giant heart. The situations that Diana finds herself in are more dire. However, the banter and comedy on this story cannot be overlooked. They are glorious.

Which brings me to possibly my favourite character: Giles’ butler/valet, Dalton. He’s a one eyed, one legged, retired sailor, and, despite his reduction of body parts, is enormously entertaining. His sharp and unabashed tongue is frequently hilarious, and occasionally quite observant and wise.

This novel has excitement, comedic moments, passion, and indeed a delightful amount of spice. I loved it, and possibly even more than the first book! If you are a fan of Lisa Kleypas or Evie Dunmore, you should definitely check out this series!
