This was my first foray into the wonderfully weird Wynchester family antics. I have to say, I adore this family and look forward to reading the previous books in this series. The siblings are truly characters all their own. They all differ so much, yet they compliment each other so well.

In this particular book, we meet Marjorie Wynchester. A brilliant artist who also happens to be a top notch forger. A new client comes to the Wynchester’s with a case. She’s frantic she’ll be evicted from her house because she accidentally paid with forged money. Marjorie is furious. How dare someone use art to hurt someone else?! She is determined to find the forger herself and make them pay.

Enter Adrian Webb. A rake extraordinaire who gets caught in a web of his own making. His forgeries are brilliant. Too bad he swindled the wrong man and is now being blackmailed to perform high treason.

When the two meet sparks fly and soon Marjorie realizes that Adrian is not the scoundrel she thought him to be. So with the help of her talented siblings, Marjorie and Adrian take on the true nefarious criminal and learn to love each other in the process.

Overall, I would give this story a 3.5. It was well written, humorous, and the characters are wonderful.

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for releasing this arc to me in exchange for an honest review.

Another book in the Wynchester series this time following Marjorie! This was fun because Marjorie has always been the wallflower of the group but not without her importance. So to get inside her head and see how she views the family dynamic was awesome. Add in a rogue/rake and a dramatic new case and this was the perfect historical romance, funny and serious and romantic. I can't wait for Elizabeth's story next!

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

I love this family! The Wild Wynchesters are back, and this time it's Marjorie's time to shine! Art forgery, blackmailing and more make this one an exciting escape. Don't miss it.

I have been provided with a review copy of My Rogue to Ruin from NetGalley for an impartial review. This book was just so easy to get lost in. I completely got lost in the story and I just loved getting to see these new characters come together. I just absolutely love this story and I just didn’t want to put it down. I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.

This was such a fun, easy read! I love the regency feel, but with more substance and diversity of characters. I loved that the FMC had a hearing disability, but that made her more special not lacking. It was fun of sass, conflict, love, and spice which for me was the perfect combination. Loved it from start to finish, especially the relationships within the Wynchester family.

Love this series and author! Solid 4.5 stars. Erica Ridley does such a fantastic job with these fun and quirky characters that you can’t help but love this colorful family! In this latest installment the shy, but talented Marjorie. An artist uses her power for good ( and forgeries) to overcome an evil gang’s abuse of power and privilege on those less fortunate. Lucky for her she also finds a handsome rogue whose bad reputation and unfortunate choices ( although coming from the need to protect those he loves) that lead him down a dangerous road to accidentally be her partner in crime.

This is the fourth book in the Wild Wynchesters series. I was very pleased to find the diverse Wynchester family still front and center in this romance. I liked both both Adrien and Marjorie but I found some of their conversations to be repetitive and while I appreciate they were getting to know each other I wish there would have been more heat and tension during these scenes. I absolutely loved the criminal aspect of the book and found the premise to be a very fun set up. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

This book is a standalone but apart of series. I wish I would have known that going in so I could read the others before hand. It was cute. I enjoyed the story and character growth but there was something missing for me. The plot was good and I enjoyed the banter between Adrian and Marjorie. The family dynamic was also very entertaining to read.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for my digital ARC in exchange for an honest review

I don't think I realized that this was part 4 of a series... my own fault I know but it definitely hindered by reading and I also was not a big fan of the forget aspect, which again - my fault because that is 75% of the plot. I am always trying my best not to DNF arcs and so as I finished this one I did end up really enjoying the romance, the steam, and the family aspects. If I had read the first three of this series i probably would've enjoyed it a LOT more.

his is book 4 in a stand-alone series and I had not read any of the other books. True to expectation, that was not a problem, however I imagine there may have been more magic if I had.
The Wynchester’s are a found family dedicated to helping those in need by using their unique talents. FMC Marjorie is leading her first case, a coin counterfeiter she is determined to bring to justice. MMC Adrian is a rakish rogue (the best kind) who is in over his head. After years of playing an odd sort of Robin Hood in regards to artwork, he is being forced to work for evil and counterfeit coins to rip off desperate people. The more time Marjorie spends with Adrian the more conflicted she is about what she feels she has to do.
This was a fun read! It’s not one you want to analyze too much, but go with it and have a great ride. The historical fiction element is loose. While set in the 1800s, it really does exist mainly as a setting rather than an immersive experience in the time. I am a historical romance light reader, so this didn’t bother me at all, but I can think of people *cough* Kendra *cough* who may be bothered.
The chemistry between Marjorie and Adrian was cute and I enjoyed their dynamic. It was slow burn with mild spice and I could’ve done with a little less slow burn, but the HEA was sweet once it arrived.
The secondary characters were well done and helped round out the story. It definitely piqued my interest in reading more of the series! And OMG the animals - specifically the homing hedgehog in training, Tickletums (the name alone is perfection). Adorable factor of 8 and had me grinning like a fool!
TLDR; a fun, entertaining read that makes you smile and holds attention.

The Wynchester Family is back and as delightful as ever. They've taken on a case to discover a forger, but the prime suspect might not be as bad as he seems. It's Marjorie's time to shine, and she has to keep reminding herself not to fall for the prime suspect.

From the outside this book had many things I like. Historical romance. Forced proximity. Pretending to be something he’s not and she knows he’s more than that. Plus a little bit of crime fighting? Sounds good right?

But the pace was slow. It seemed like barely anything happened until the half way point, where we actually have the characters doing something significant.

It also felt like there wasn’t much to the characters, and they didn’t really have much development.

It was cute and entertaining, but I guess I was looking for higher stakes and a bit more action.

Arc received from the publisher; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Erica Ridley is one of my favorite historical romance authors; this is the third book in the series and, sadly, my least favorite. I had a hard time getting through this one in the start, some of the comments the MC said to the other MC bothered me, I struggled to make my way through but after the half way point, the book started to pick up and become more enjoyable. The mystery and the heist made it for me and was worth it in the end. If historical fiction is not your cup of tea, I suggest the first two in the series over this one. This won't be for everyone but I did enjoy it in the end.

Tropes:
- Forced Promoitity
- A Heist
- Opposites Attract

I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are my own .

I enjoyed the banter and slouthing in this book. I would not call it a stand-alone book because the characters can get confusing if you haven't read the first 3 (I think), but the writing is fun and a bit addictive.

I'd like to add that I reviewed a previous Erica Ridley novel and got overwhelmed by the characters,but I loved the story. I placed the previous books at the library and devoured them.

The Wynchester family was my introduction to Erica Ridley and this book further cements them as some of my favorite folx in historical romance. Marjorie Wynchester, a skilled artist that doesn't mind doing forgery for the greater good, goes undercover to figure out who is using fake coins to pay some of the poorest residents of London. It turns out to be Adrian Webb, Lord Adrian Webb, the rogue who caught her eye at an art gallery weeks earlier. It turns out he got sucked in against his will and is in over his head, and Wynchester family moves in to do their thing.

This book is probably closest in energy to The Duke Heist - caper! banter! - but has more room to run as a later book in the series. Still, if you haven't met the Wynchesters yet, I think this would work fine as a standalone.

The parts I keep coming back to are the themes - how laws shouldn't prevent us from putting wrongs to right, in the spirit of John Lewis' "good trouble"; the importance of family, especially found family, but also the biological relations you choose to keep in your life; and that you can come back from poor decisions in your past, and what that path looks like.

I also want to point out some rep - Marjorie is deaf in one ear after a childhood smallpox infection, and also has synesthesia and an eidetic memory. The Wynchesters are of all different skin tones and genders, and the book itself is inclusive and full of all the consent.

The plot's a little madcap, with Jacob's animals playing a staring role more than once, but I'm here for it. I especially like that the action takes turns I didn't expect, and overall follows different beats than the usual "heist".

On top of all that I read this a mere month into a new job, and returning to a cast I love doing fun things was just the salve I needed after some difficult days. My second favorite in the series (I can't imagine topping The Perks of Loving a Wallflower), and I cannot wait to read Elizabeth's story next.

My Rogue to Ruin is the newest edition to the Wynchester family story. I loved how big a part Marjorie played in this story since she was always in the background until the last book. Adrian and her are so cute together and I love how they bonded over art and good forgery. I also loved how accepting Adrian was of Marjorie being hard of hearing and didn’t count it against her and think she was weaker because of it like other people did.

Of course, I loved all the high jinx the family got into and the biggest thing I love about this series is the found family vibes. The Wynchester family lets people in their family who never got to experience a loving and supportive family and I’m here for it! I seriously can’t wait until Elizabeth’s story!!

This was a highly entertaining story and I think it's the best so far of The Wild Wynchesters series. I've been intrigued from the beginning hearing about this very different family. This was the artist Marjorie's turn to lead a caper to help the down and out innocents being used by an unscrupulous "Grandfather of St. Giles". This is about counterfeit money and art objects. Marjorie is incensed that someone is making copies of art and coins, and passing them off as genuine. As always there is two sides to every story and Adrian Webb is trying to protect his sister and forced to work for Snowley.

Mrs Lachlan comes to the Wynchesters after finding she was given counterfeit money when she temporarily hocked her husband's wedding ring to pay her rent. She's got 30 days to pay her rent and she's desperate to get her husband's ring back from Snowley. Marjorie knows this one is her chance to take the lead with her talents in the art world. She goes undercover and points out why Adrian's copies are inferior to what she can produce. She convinces Snowley to have her improve Adrian's work. It doesn't take long for her to realize why Adrian is kept prisoner at Snowley's house.

Adrian took the fall for his elder brother Hebert's indiscretion with a young woman. He doesn't expect his father to disown him and Hebert not come to his defense. He spends seven years on the Continent and makes ends meet by providing Snowley high quality copies of art objects. He figures with the war, no one will figure out he's making copies so the originals can stay and be enjoyed where they belong. He gets caught when he makes his last stop at Snowley's house after visiting his beloved younger sister Iris. Snowley uses Iris against him to ensure he'll "pay off his debt" to Snowley for cheating him over the years with copies. He's forced to make coins that Snowley passes as genuine to those who are in need. He hates it but can't figure out how to turn Snowley in. Things change when Margarie "Mary" shows up. This was a well thought out and plotted story that gives us a great love story that keeps you guessing.

*3.5 stars*

A fun regency romance…

This is the fourth in the series and the first one I’ve read. I admit to being a bit lost with all the characters at first but once I got the lay of the land it paved the way for the drama and fun that followed…

The funny, fast-paced opening scene set the tone for the story and it was a wild, twisty ride. For Marjorie and Adrian, falling in love meant a whole lot of trust and conflict as they seemed to be on opposite sides of the latest family caper. If they could both stay out of jail their relationship might have a chance…

Generally, regencies (or the ones I usually read) are conventional, quiet, stick-to-the-rules types. Much like the time they portray. Lots of manners and rule-following, etc. This was quite the opposite and it totally worked. This was a funny, twisty and family-full read that could have been set at any time but made more striking because of the age it was set.

Lots of action and excitement, with an ending that kept me guessing, I turned the last page knowing I needed to go back and read more…

I love a fun and whimsical-feeling historical romance and this baby delivered! The book opens with a British Museum heist, there are so many cute animals with jobs, and some good ol’ forced proximity yearning. I will definitely be reading more of this series in the future!

Thank you to the team at Forever for this ARC!

Marjorie Wynchester is determined to take the lead in exposing a forger. Expecting a scoundrel with no ethics, she finds out Adrian Webb was forced into making counterfeit coins with blackmail. Adrian is captivated by Marjorie and the Wynchester extended family. If anyone can help him out of his sticky situation, it's this family. As Marjorie and Andrian work together, it's an attraction that leads to love. What seems like utter chaos, makes sense when it comes to the end of the story.
Unforgettable characters!
Mild explicit sex.
