Our heroine Meg is the wallflower by circumstance who pines for her best-friend's older brother that never fails to capture my attention. Sarah's older brother, Hart, the heir to the earldom, a viscount in his own right, was clever, handsome, witty, and extremely eligible. I started off here and had no problems, except for the occasional interest in obvious previous characters that filtered through and curious about their personal stories. With a gorgeous cover (and a cover dress that appears in the story) The Right Kind of Rogue is the eighth installment in the Playful Brides series. With family drama, debts, and schemes, Hart and Meg will have quite the journey to get to their happily ever after. This makes his sudden attraction to his little sister’s best-friend highly inconvenient. His wife must be beautiful, from a good family, and rich. With Hart's sister and friends all getting leg shackled, he knows it's time to do the same. When she hears that her long time crush has decided to finally search for a wife, she knows it's time to make her move. With her family riddled with debt and on her third season, Meg knows it's her last chance to find a husband. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I received a review copy for Celtic Dragon Book Reviews. Finding out how the story unfolds had me turning the pages up to the end. This book is a well balanced dose of wit, drama and romance. calamity (and a possible scandal) ensues. Poor Meg doesn’t stand a chance with Lucy and Sarah acting as matchmakers…. The secondary characters play an integral part in this story. Viscount Hart Highgate is reckless, drinks too much and has been avoiding the marriage mart like the plague. She is definitely a very likable heroine. Withering wallflower Meg Timmons is compassionate, devoted and unmarried. Even though we get glimpses of characters from previous books, it can be read as a stand-alone with no problems. Enemy parents and a scheming matchmaker make for a very interesting and captivating story. I would describe this story as ROMEO AND JULIET (ish) with a very different ending. So when I was invited to read and review the latest installment, I jumped at the chance. I’m relatively new to the Playful Brides series, having started at book 7, NEVER TRUST A PIRATE and loved it.
