Finally! This is the fourth in a series of books about four young women, all standouts in their areas of study, who have inherited an estate from an older, educated woman, but with a special caveat. In this fourth novel, Gemma is an aspiring geologist and she is searching for fossils on the seaside estate. She has a run in with the brother-in-law of one of her fellow heiresses, as he controls a published magazine of sorts with articles written by educated fossil hunters. Unfortunately though, Lord Cameron has declined to publish Gemma’s written work. Gemma sees this as an affront to her abilities based solely on her gender. The two seem to be at constant odds with each other- but could it be attraction? It’s actually the start of a wonderful romance and mystery filled with intrigue and heat.
Several characters from the three previous books appear and add color and humor to the tale. The reader is thrown into a series of events, including a murder, that keep the pages turning. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the entire series and highly recommend it. I do hope that the heiresses’ chaperone, Lady Serena, someday has her story told as well.

Manda Collins has written an enjoyable Regency Romance. Gemma Hastings is one of several women who has been left part of an estate with certain caveats...mainly that whomever can solve the puzzle the left for each heiress and is still single at the end of one year with be the one who inherits the estate permanantly. Emma is the last of the scholarly women who has remained unmarried and has no interest in marrying...until a certain Lord comes into her life. Will she be able to resist his charms in order to inherit the estate? And not give up her study of geology in the process? Don't miss this fun and mesmerizing novel, you won't be disappointed!

This book wasn't as great as the last couple have been. It was still a funny read.

This is book four in the series. The fourth lady now has her adventure. This is a Romance and Murder mystery rolled into one! I enjoyed the story greatly.

I received an ARC of this book to read from the publisher in exchange for a fair review. One For The Rogue is the fourth book in Manda Collins’s Study in Scandal Series. It’s a great series and I recommend reading them all. Gemma Hastings is the last unmarried Beauchamp heiress and she has no plans to change her marital status in fact quite the opposite, she cannot conceive of being able to pursue her studies in geology and paleontology as a wife. Each of the Beauchamp heiresses was given a mystery to solve with clues provided by their benefactress Celeste Beauchamp but Gemma despairs of being able to solve the mystery she was assigned because her letter was left unfinished. Lord Cameron Lisle is brother-in-law to Gemma’s sister Sophia and publisher of a scientific journal that declined to publish her research as well as a collector of fossils also has no interest in marriage. Gemma and Cameron find themselves working together to when they discover a dead body and a fossil Gemma was trying to unearth missing. Could the missing fossil be the answer to the quest set for Gemma? Adversaries to lovers is a favourite story line of mine and Manda Collins has written an excellent one.

This was a nice easy read. I don’t mind the insta love. The hero had a stupid hang up relating to his fathers infidelity. The reason behind the fathers infidelity was the stupidest thing I have ever read. It really has no impact on the book though so I won’t rant about it.

One For The Rogue by Manda Collins is a phenomenal historical romance. Ms. Collins has once again delivered a book that is not only well-written but populated with outstanding, lovable characters. Gemma is the last heiress of Beauchamp House and is a geologist and loves digging for fossils. Cam is also a geologist and is the brother of Gemma's brother-in-law. The last thing either of them desires is an entanglement with the other. Gemma and Cam's story is packed with drama, humor, action, suspense and sizzle. I enjoyed every page of this book and can't wait to read my next book by Manda Collins. One For The Rogue is book 4 of the Studies In Scandal Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

An adorable non traditional, historical romance. A Gem of a readvwith a heroine named Gemma who is a real find and a bonafide Geologist. The hero Cam is also noteworthy. Highly recommend to those who enjoy laughs with romance

Fourth in the Studies In Scandal series, One For The Rogue is as engrossing as the previous books.
Geologist Gemma Hastings strives to complete her task, even though her instructions were abbreviated by the death of Lady Celeste.
Lord Lisle also a geologist doesn't think much of women in the field.
After a unsatisfying introduction to Lord Cameron Lisle, and a few disagreements, the two began to work together to solve the puzzle left for Gemma.
Toss in a stolen fossil, a murder mystery, sexual attraction and family interference to add to this tale of romance.
Ms. Collins' descriptions and writing style make this book an enjoyable read.
I was granted an ARC from NetGalley for my honest opinion.

I liked, One for the Rogue. It was a great end to the series. I think that Gemma's happy ever after is perfect for her.

As usual, I read this as a standalone. This book has been the most fun to me while reading romance through Netgalley UK! The writing is clear and crisp, never missing a beat.
This author knows how to take charge of the story and its characters. Dialogues are exciting and on-point. Always had me chuckling! I absolutely love it! I for one am swooning (almost too much) at the leading lord and (soon-to-be) lady. Their chemistry really sizzles.
I also found the protrayal of Sophie and Benedick’s (heroine’s sister and brother-in-law respectively) relationship endearing; giving wise counsel to the sometimes hasty couple. I loved every moment reading this book.

I received this novel from net galley and the publisher for an honest review. Thank you!!
This novel was good finale for the Studies in Scandal series. It continues the romance with mystery based on Celeste Beauchamp's letters to four women with great talents. These women try to succeed in their fields of study in a male dominated world. Gemma Hastings is a geologist and has no time for love, nor does she want to be married. Lord Cameron Lisle is a fossil hunter and has prejudged Gemma. However, once he see Gemma in the field and her knowledge of artifacts, he realized how much he misjudged her. Gemma is trying to puzzle out Celeste's incomplete letter to her and needs Cam's help to find the artifact Celeste hid many years ago. However, there are others who want that artifact and will do whatever is necessary, threats and murder to get that artifact. Cam knows he needs to keep Gemma safe from this, but Gemma is stubborn and needs to find that artifacts. What Gemma never expected was these feelings she has towards Cam and Cam never expected to ever want to marry. Cam knows life with Gemma would never be boring and he will do whatever is necessary to change her mind about marriage to him. Gemma and Cam cannot fight their attraction to each other as they spend more time together. But the villain is still out there. Will they be able to find the artifact and stop the villain before the villain strikes again?

Thanks to St Martin’s Press and NetGalley for a copy of this book, the latest in the series about the heiresses of Beauchamp House. This book would be better read as part of the series but standalone would be fine too. A mystery romance with captivating characters and an intriguing storyline. I’m now awaiting what I hope will be the next part of the series, the tale of Serena. .
