This book was a lot of fun. It had interesting and super lovable characters. It had a sense of community and camaraderie, spies, espionage, forgery, criminals, and plans gone awry. I debated reading it because it was not the first of the series, but I’m glad I did because now I’m intrigued to go back and read everyone else’s stories and continue with the other Wynchesters I’ve fallen for! Such a neat concept and a cool world to fall into. It reminds me a bit of Ally Carter hijinks with a “ton” setting.

I love the Wynchesters so much, I want to give them all a hug for real. Each book is so cozy, even when the stakes are high and I'm kind of stressed??? I love how relatable Marjorie was (and I truly think after each book that they're the most relatable one). Erica Ridley just has a way of making me attached to all her characters.

One thing to note though, is that Tommy started the novel using she/they pronouns, however the "they" was just dropped off after the first chapter never to be seen again? Was that a mistake?

Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the eARC and gifted copy of My Rogue to Ruin!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I absolutely love the Wynchester series and My Rogue to Ruin lived up to the hype!

I liked seeing Marjorie as a main character since she is one of the quieter siblings in the other books.  I also liked that she went into the scheme thinking Adrian was such a terrible person but ends up falling for him in the end.  As much as I love Marjorie and Adrian, I think my favorite character had to be Tickletums, the homing hedgehog!  Every mention of him just made me laugh.

I already pre-ordered the fifth book in the series, Hot Earl Summer, which will be Elizabeth's story due out in August!

This was such a fun historical romance! It was my first by Erica Ridley, and I'll certainly be looking for her other books now! I didn't realize when I requested this that it was the fourth book in a series, but it was easy to follow despite this, so I would definitely recommend it if you want to jump into the series with this one!

I loved Marjorie and Adrian's banter, and I found that they were both very interesting characters separately, which made the romantic plot and the book overall much more interesting. The romance was relatively lighthearted, and this book was a fun, relatively quick read! I'd definitely recommend this to those who enjoy historical romances! :)
