It is impossible for me to express how I feel about this book without spoiling so be warned! Lol
The plot just keeps getting better and better wow!
What an emotional roller coaster this book was omg! At the end of Book 2 I shed some tears but man Book 3 had some incredibly sad moments and so many moments that were so emotionally charged. At the end of Book 2 I was in complete shock and denial about Cedric’s blindness. And I remained that way while reading this book until I passed the halfway point and started realising omg this is really happening. He’s blind. This is it. And I felt so sad for Cedric. From early on in the series he’s described as being a great shot, being really good with horses, at hunting, and loves nature and animals especially dogs. You get the impression that he’s the adventurous one of the group. So I had expected his book to be full of pistols, pursuits on horseback, and rescuing damsels lol. And felt so sad he was robbed of all that which made him who he is. The ending had me crying happy tears.
The character development is just incredible. It was heart wrenching and amazing watching Cedric trying to figure out who he was now without all the things he loved. I love Cedric now.
Johnathan and Charles were growing on me too in the previous books and I really like them now.
And I can’t believe I’m saying this but I really like Godric and Lucien now. Especially now that they’re more inclusive of their wives instead of sending them upstairs.
Ash’s storyline was fucking hilarious and just awesome. I cannot wait to see how things develop in the next book!

Cedric was so hard for me to like! It’s unusual for me to not like a main, but Cedric wins the gold star. It started with the horrible thing he did in a previous book, and continued with his reaction to something so serious in this book. He constantly flew off half cocked, and those around him always forgave him too easily.
I am not heartless. I get he had a horrible loss, had to grow up too fast with too much responsibility, but for the love of God, stop making crappy decisions the moment you hear news that upsets you.
I loved Ann and learned to tolerate Cedric for her sake.
Im really enjoying it this series and these Rogues.

I tried. My god did I try but it was just....not good! Also romance.io you need to recheck bc it says there is plentiful heat and they don't have sex until 75% in - and it's not every other page!

Romantisizes abuse. The love interest gets very upset with any hint of the main character showing any hesitancy to physical intimacy. He's immature, emotionally manipulative, and eventually physically aggressive. Hard DNF.

I have read this series from book 1 and 2 and I have been intrigued even though now I am finding myself disappointed. The differences in point of views that we’re reading from to advance the never ending plot (spoiler warning) Hugo Waverly and his need for his unexplained revenge, we get snippets of why he is mad at the League but never in full, it is annoying. (End of spoiler).
The romance is a backburner in this book and I understand why because this couple [I was so excited for since book 1] is a MESS. I am not getting the chemistry and their internal struggles aren’t moving me as much as I would like them to. Also the hero? My word. I just can’t. And the overlooking or undermine of the heroines trauma is infuriating. Especially the hero’s reaction.
The book overall is all over the place, lacked depth and focussed more on the plot than the couple I was excited to read about.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
After the last book, I couldn't wait to read this one and it didn't disappoint. This one kept me on the edge of my seat with everything that threatened them. I loved getting to hear the whole story behind the horses he won and how the league met. I really enjoyed how much the league has changed and I laugh at how they talk like the abduction was a normal thing for them to do. Just when I thought they were good her past came up and caused a fight that had a twist I did not expect to happen. I jumped up and down at the ending.
Anne is very smart and loving girl even if she does hide behind ice walls. I loved how she didn't let her past define her and had no plans to hide it from him. She was very strong and didn't seem to be afraid of anything. Her father sounded like a good man with how he didn't like some of the rules and approved of Cedric.
Cedric's blindness definitely affected him more than he realized. He lived in fear of falling and didn't want to be around people. I loved how he changed when away from London and only wanted to shake him once during the fight, but he quickly realized his mistake. He is a very loving and open minded, but will kill anyone that threatens the people he loves.
Ashton is becoming a favorite of mine. He always seems to know what to do and doesn't jump to conclusions. In this book, we get to know Jonathan a bit more and meet a great staff member of Cedric's

So stinking cute! I loved how obsessed these characters were with each other. This is such a beautiful story. Anne and Cedric go through so much to finally be happy together.

My experience with this book:
• sweet a new audio book at the library! Never tried this author before yay why not?!
•oh....doesn't seem very well researched...oh well...fluffy cupcake of a book here I come- those are great too!
• why do all the metaphors for love/relationships involve some form of waging war/ hunting/ prey/ domination/ submission weirdness... please try to use some other ones this is getting creepy...unless this just took a twist and is now going to go down a Dexter-like road ...crosses fingers...
•nope.
•the Hero is blind-that will be interesting to explore...Oh....comment about how the doctors don't know why he is blind... He will probably be getting his sight back....less interesting now
• oh I think the next book is going to be about that grumpy guy and his valet (is that a Mulan situation there or maybe some M/M romance ?)
•heroine's past abuser comes back to haunt her in her new marriage- husbands freaks out... Nope...I'm lemming this...
So I think I screwed up in picking this one to read at the moment- in a reading slump- sorry for the harsh review.
*For better reading enjoyment of this book you should probably read the first two in the series- characters were slightly hard to keep straight & also because they had similar names (Godric/ Cedric in audiobook format is meh). Also take a page out of the wonderful Bonnie Burton's book and imagine the Hero as a werewolf- maybe that would have taken the squick factor down on all of his "hunting" his "prey"(love?) down stuff.
