About this ebook

Who could resist a wager from London’s most popular detective, Sherlock Holmes? Certainly not his scientist neighbor, Elise Hamblin.


The challenge: Study the primal nature of men; but not just any man for her study will do. Sherlock has chosen the Earl of March, a man with a scandalous and dangerous reputation.



Prospero Harrington has returned from exile to claim the title of Earl of March and his late father’s mounting debts. Desperate to secure his future, he responds to an intriguing ad and finds himself the subject of observation by a beautiful woman in exchange for a hefty payment.



Disguised as a man, Elise follows Prospero about London. Their close proximity and adventures provides a fascinating introduction to the world of men, passion, and desire.



Tragedy strikes and Elise must rely on the scandalous rogue she’s been studying. Enemies from Prospero’s dangerous past set their sights on the new earl and the woman who has won his heart, forcing him to face his past or lose Elise forever.



The Care and Feeding of Rogues is a stranger to lovers romance with a lady scientist and a scandalous rogue with a heart of gold. What starts out as a wager becomes the adventure of a lifetime, with a guaranteed HEA.

The Care and Feeding of Rogues is book one in A Lady’s Guide series. This book was so unique and fascinating. I loved the way the author wove real people and fictional characters of the era together into a seamless story. Prospero Harrington has a wonderfully developed personality. There are layers and complexities to his character that I didn’t expect. I thought the author did a masterful job.. I received an advanced review copy for free, and I leave my review voluntarily.

Magnificent!!! This was a beautiful emotional love story. Elise's father's love was huge and all encompassing. He saw beneath the outside facade of the Earl of March to the man beneath. He saw the integrity and strength of character he possessed. The lies of one woman caused great damage and loss of life which I found tragically sad. And it didn't stop there with one death. The older brother made plans for satisfaction of that lie and death, and his hatred feuled it. I found this story extra special, as it included Sherlock Holmes, of whom I'm a supper fan. An amazing twist at the end. Utterly fantastic. I look forward to more rogues being tamed. I voluntarily read a free copy of this book provided by book sirens and am giving an honest opinion

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.When I read the briefs I thought that it will be another Sherlock Holmes dry murder story .The cover was however intriguing and I downloaded it and read and read till I finished it and was still looking for more pages to read.That is the power of the story and I want everybody to enjoy it and hence I am not the cat off the bag . I am happy that all good men were saved by Sherlock Holmes. Thank you madam authoress for the delightful story and eagerly await your next book.
