I really enjoyed this book from Anna Bennett. It's the first of hers that I've read and after I read this I went to find the first two books in the series to read. The Rogue is Back in Town is the story of Sam and Juliette. Juliette is one of three sisters who had been dubbed a wallflower. Sam has been sent by his brother to evict her and her uncle from their house. Sam is determined to aid his brother in the hopes of repairing a rift between the brothers. What I really enjoyed about the story was the humor that was spread throughout the story. Juliette has real spunk and doesn't give up her house easily. There is heat that builds between her and Sam but it's the humor that I don't see as often in historical romances that made this book stand out for me and want to read more from Anna Bennett. The characters are fun and draw you in. There's no need to have read the other books first but there are minor references to the other sisters and that's what the other books in the series center around. Overall, light, easy, and humorous read that I would recommend.
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

An interesting story that I greatly enjoyed. The heroine is independent, strongwilled and has her own mind. The hero is a rake with a kind heart who just wants to please his brother but is too scandalous. Well written secondary characters and a fun plot line. Truly enjoyed this book and author. Look forward to reading more by her

Sam and Julie find their selfs in a tangle of mess. And Julie makes a bunch of bad choices and things get a lot worse before they find a way out.

I have truly enjoyed the Wayward Wallflower series, these ladies are not your damsel in distress nor are they your typical proper London young lady. They are brave, bold, unique and not afraid to speak their minds. They know what they want and are determined in their convictions. They are also fully supported by their family and close friends in these convictions which is what makes them an outsider by society standards but amazing in any one else's eyes.

In this story we have Juliette as our main character. She runs the home of her eccentric Uncle who took her and her sisters in when they were left alone in the world. While she is definitely young by any standards, she has given up on the thoughts of marriage especially after having her heart-broken by a man whom she thought was quite honourable.

Enter in Sam, who has one huge reputation with some of it earned and some of it not. His brother has given him one last task to redeem himself - evict the residents of a town home he has inherited. This home is Juliette's Uncles, which they believe was gifted to them on their marriage. What he fails to tell Sam, is that he has an infatuation with Juliette and kissed her the season before and left no promises.

As the plot develops, we see a new side of Sam and realize that things are not always as they seem. Those who seem honourable are actually out for blood and are hiding dark secrets. They would do anything to ruin anyone that steps in their way. Juliette begins a race against time to find the deed to the town house and prevent her Uncle's and her own life from crumbling apart. Sam has a huge decision to make - side with family or discover and honour the truth.

This was a well written and developed romance novel - the plot was very unique and fit the characters perfectly. This is one suspenseful romance you wont want to miss!

I received an advanced reader’s copy of this book.

This story moves at a good pace and kept me reading.The characters are well developed and interesting. Sam stands out to me as a hero. He knew when to step in to help but also when to step back to allow Julie to make her own decisions. Julie loves her family and will do anything to protect them. I love that the characters attempt to work things out and when things don’t go as planned, they keep trying and make the best of every situation.

The characters and the plot were engaging. I recommend this book.

I have not read any of the previous books in this series but that did not lessen my understand or enjoyment in this book. This book follows Samuel and Julie. Samuel is widely known for being a rogue and is finally kicked out by his brother and given the task of kicking out the man who lives in a property that his brother owns. Little does he know that he'll encounter the fiercely protective Julie living in the home with her uncle. From the moment they meet the sparks will fly.

I loved both Sam and Julie and quite frankly couldn't get enough of Uncle Alistair. I loved the chemistry between Sam and Julie from the start. While at times they did have little fights that I would consider stupid I did really enjoy the progression of their relationship.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the galley.

The Rouge is Back in Town ⭐️⭐️.5

Hide your daughters and your maiden aunts…Lord Samuel Travis is back.
―The London Hearsay, special society edition

Equal parts scoundrel and seducer, he’s returned to London determined to mend the rift with his older brother. All Sam must do is take possession of a tumbledown town house. A seemingly simple task, except the house is occupied—by an infuriating, whip-smart beauty who refuses to do his bidding.

Miss Juliette Lacey’s wallflower days are over. She has a plan to turn her eccentric family into the toast of the ton—but the devilishly handsome rake trying to oust them from their home thwarts her at every turn. How can one man be so vexing and make her simmer with desire?

As her attraction to Sam deepens, Julie’s problems grow—she may have, once upon a time, secretly shared a kiss with his honorable older brother. Suddenly, Julie’s caught between a rogue and a marquess, between passion and respectability. Torn between two brothers, what’s a girl to do?

Personally I wasn’t thrilled with this book. The plot was predictable and fell a little flat. I couldn’t quite grasp why with her family connections the main character, Julie refuses to reach out. Instead she continues to bumble about creating more difficulties. My favorite parts of the book was the eccentric old uncle, his presence added just enough relief to make it worthwhile to finish the book.

The Rough is Back in Town can be read as a stand alone book or as book #3 of the Wayward Wallflowers series.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you NetGalley!

I loved the uncle! Julie and Sam so so. Some of the dialogue is fun but what first turned me off was that almost half of the book happened on the first day. They met, Sam moves in with them, she goes to the party, Nigel shows up.. She is attracted to both brothers the same night! Too much happening in one day.

Did I say how much I hate TSTL heroines? ...and heroes too!

And here both of them would have won the Oscar for stupidity!

He’s like a Pepe: so full of himself and his rakish ways! As soon as he sees the heroine he’s in deep lust and all kinds of dirty thought come up in his mind at any and every moment! It’s just to much!!!

She’s also in lust with him. Her lady’s bits are all aquake!

<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/474x/45/51/07/4551079d8910e1f3348034c1cd4d3ab5--funny-ideas-my-boyfriend.jpg"/>

But there’s his brother who wants her too! And the brother is not so honorable as everybody (and the hero) think! And he doesn’t want her for wife – he says to her clearly – he wants her for a mistress!

<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/70/ba/bb/70babba490193422beb9263cc1cb9298.jpg"/>

And what she does? She has to “think and gain time” so she says to him that she’ll consider his offer!!! O_O

And while she’s considering she falls in bed with the hero and soon after also in love!

And the hero, magically, thanks to her sweetness and hotness, transforms from rake to saint!

But, wait, he never weas a rake in his soul; he was just restless and felt unappreciated!

Oh, my god!!!

So, when I said I was bored it’s because during all the books 3 things happen:
1) She’s considering his brother’s offer from mistresshood;
2) They’re having sex
3) She’s discarding all the logical solutions to her problems

And that’s it!

Miss Juliette Lacey is living with her eccentric, scientist uncle, becoming more and more worried about his conversations with the portrait of his late wife. Life starts to get more complicated by the arrival of the dishevelled Lord Samuel Travis, notorious rake, the talk of society. He is on a mission for his older brother to evict them and repossess the house they have lived in for over 20 years. As they gets to know each other, Sam begins to question his loyalties and Juliette her opinions about the brothers. Very enjoyable unpredictable and atmospheric read.

I really like Ms Bennet's books, but I had a hard time with the Big Problem that Julie has in this one. She's incredibly well connected and has so many options but instead is put in a hard place -- it just didn't make sense to me. And then she makes stupid choices several times which just made me want to shake her. Ugh! Not a fan of this one, unfortunately, but I will recommend her other books to romance readers.

Loved this book. Loved the entire story. Such fun characters.

The Rogue is Back in Town by Anna Bennett is sexy yet charming tale. I was delighted by Anna Bennett's talent. Her words were enchanting. I laughed out loud and felt in love with the rogue and his charming beauty of a lady. The lady was smart, gorgeous, and loyal to her family. She fell under the rogue's brother's charm. Juliette thought Sam's brother was the good man. But he only turned out to be a no good scoundrel. The funny but sweet part was that the noted and famous brother aka scoundrel was the real gentleman. Sam proved to be more than he and society originally thought he was. He was a good man like his father was. It was his brother who proved to be the dirt bag...

The novel was intense. Lusty, hilarious, and downright scandalous. Anna Bennett had me hooked. This novel was intriguing from the first page. I couldn't stop myself. It was just that good. Oh, Sam, is a man that would melt any woman's heart. He has so much to offer but isn't aware of it until he met his match, Juliette.

The Rogue is Back in Town by Anna Bennett is a historical romance, I won't forget. Its characters are believable. Strong, determined, and good natured. It's hard to not love them all especially, Juliette's uncle. That older man is a sweetie! Overall, I highly recommend this title to all readers. Family, love, and adventure are found deep inside this book.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley to read in exchange for a fair review. The Rogue is Back in Town is the third book in the Wayward Wallflowers series by Anna Bennett. It can be read as a stand alone but it’s a great series so you should read them all. Juliette is the last unmarried Lacy sister but at the moment she’s got more on her mind than husband hunting, her beloved uncle seems to be losing his mental alertness and is having conversations with her deceased aunt, and now it seems they are going to be tossed out of their home. Sam and Nigel Travis may be brothers but they couldn’t be more unalike, one is respectable gentleman and one a reckless rogue, however things are not always as they appear and Juliette will have to learn to trust her heart and that home is not a house but the feeling you get when you’re with the person you love. I very much enjoyed reading this book. Sizzle level steamy. Will be published on January 2, 2018.

WOW what a fabulous book. There was so much going on in this and what a wonderful array of different characters. It's the kind of story that makes you stop and think about what really matters. I laughed and I cried as it was full of emotion too.

This book was really fun. I loved the banter between Sam and Julie. Seeing Sam evolve over the course of the book was satisfying. I really appreciated how he would put in the work once he set his mind on something. Julie was wonderful. I loved her stubbornness, and how she took care of her uncle. I loved the bit I got to see of Julie's extended family, and now I definitely want to read the other books.

Lord Samuel Travis liked to party...so much so that he wound up crawling into the bed of of Lord Harborough's spinster aunt....after breaking a window to get in...giving his brother Nigel an excuse to throw him out. Nigel gives him an option, remove the 'squatters' from 'his' Hart Street house.
The 'squatters are Juliette Lacey and her Uncle Alistair and her sisters are out of town. Nigel wants to force Juliette into being his mistress and is not above lying and coercion.
Sam moves in against Juliette's wishes and is shocked to learn Nigel is behind it. Sam is presented to Alistair as an assistant and is surprised to learn, he really enjoys working with Alistair.
Juliette and Alistair are sure her aunt owned the house or had a lifetime lease.....but they couldn't find the deed.Being in close proximity Juliette and Sam grow closer and search frantically for the deed .... while Nigel applies more pressure to Juliette and tries to make Sam believe that he and Juliette have been intimate....but the young couple triumphs.
Told with wit, romance and humor, this installment of The Wayward Wallflowers is #3 and not to be missed.
I was granted an ARC from NetGalley.

***I received an ARC of this book in order to provide an honest review***

I haven't read the first two books in this series, but that didn't stop me from being swept up in Sam and Julie from page 1.

<b>Shit. Sam vaguely remembered losing a vast sum at the hazard tables. Followed by a shoving match with an earl who'd mocked him. And at the very end of the night...bloody hell."</b>

Ne'er-do-well Sam has to kick Julie and her uncle out of their family home. Smart, responsible Julie doesn't want to be kicked out. While Sam tries to figure out if he wants to help her or evict her his brother decides to offer his own form of (completely inappropriate!!!) "help." A witty, gentle, and fun story evolves - with just enough spice to keep me hooked. I smiled through most of this read (except twice when I got sooooo mad at the bad guy). And now I'm wondering if the rest of the series is this good.

<b>"'I feel in love with you. Hard. Hopelessly. Every decision I've made since then has been easy. I simply ask myself what would make you smile. And then I do that thing.'"</b>

I enjoyed the romance between Sam and Julie. The H and h had great chemistry and there were a few steamy scenes in the book, but nothing excessive. Sam was a great H-- reformed rogues are my favorite! Julie was another great character as well. I liked how she did not allow the villain to bully her into a poor decision and I liked how she stood up for herself. Overall, this was a read I'd recommend!

This is book three in the series and a fun read. You can enjoy it as a stand alone as well. I enjoyed watching Juliette battle feelings between two very different brothers. Hot tension. People aren't who they apear to be. This reminds me what things are important in life. A wonderful cozy ending- picture perfect.
