This was a new author for me, and I was not disappointed in the least. The story was fast paced, well written with great characters and it had some suspense, humor and romance. Totally awesome story! I was very quickly pulled into the story and had a hard time putting the book down right up until the end. Loved it! I’m looking forward to reading more from this author.
A Rogue For Emily by Catherine Hemmerling is book Four in the Emily Moss and Alexander ‘Alex’ Bredon. This is the Fifth book in the Lady Lancaster Garden Society Series. I have read the previous book, but feel this is a standalone book.
Alex and Emily have known and hated each other for a while. Both seem to have a misconception about the other which seems to keep their hate alive…until it is slowly broken. When Lady Lancaster pairs these two up they have to learn to attempt to get alone it would seem. But then Alex learns something about Emily that starts to change him mind about her. Alex wants her to see him in a new light then the one he has been to her. Not to give anything away, but this leads them to work together to solve a mystery which brings them closer together.
Enjoyed their story!

This is the fifth book in the series & is the first I’ve read by the author. Whilst the book can be read on its own I did feel lost at the start & until I had everyone ‘sorted’ I felt I was wading through mud! I need to go & read the series from the start. An enjoyable book of enemies to lovers. The characters were well developed & had plenty of depth, the story flowed well & kept my interest all the way through
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
Lady Emily Moss is part of a very exclusive group of women. They have each had exciting or dangerous missions and some have found men to love. Our heroine is hoping the same will happen for her. She is a little distracted by a new pen pal.
Alexander Bredon has changed his attitude to life since an incident a year ago. He realized he was still acting out like a young boy. It became obvious it was past time for him to grow up and be responsible for himself. Unfortunately some people can’t see that he has changed, particularly the one woman who has been a thorn in his hide since they were children.
A lovely sentimental story with excitement, humour and a little danger. The characters are all great fun. This is part of a series, but each book can be read on it’s own. Be warned they will tempt you to read all of them.
I loved it.
Dipping into this one with the characters-Emily and Alexander takes you along with them latching onto you. The way they did things has you on full curiosity mode most times to see how they will go with what they are given. Do not know who they were fooling but the fine line they walked haha. Then it takes a turn with you following along closely with the dash of humor that is interjected. The duels of personalities brings this one alive with the swashing romance of the day it is set in.
A delightful story that touches up the meeting of two youths at a tragic event that have them coming together later. Lady Emily, the only child of a Duke, was growing up with the best of everything. until her best friend dies when they are young. She meets Alexander at the tomb of her friend and they get into a terrible argument. Fast forward years later, Emily is the toast of society but inside she is not really happy. She becomes a member of the Garden Society to do good deeds, turn around wrongs and hopefully find new friends. You see, most of her friends have married and are divinely happy. Unfortunately she is paired up with none other than Alexander Bredon, who she still holds a grudge against from long ago. But a mystery abounds that may come out and change everything between the two. An enjoyable story of once enemies to hopefully lovers that will keep you entertained until the end. Catherine Hemmerling is a new author to me but I look forward to reading more of her stories in the future!!
Catherine Hemmerling is a new author to me and I throughly enjoyed her writing style. I really liked this story and am going to have to go back and read the previous books in the series. She paints such a vivid picture with her words and I could imagine every character and everything as it happened. This story has wonderful characters! The secondary characters were just as interesting and as fun the hero and heroine. My favourite trope is enemies to lovers, so I really loved that this story had that. The chemistry felt so real between Emily and Alexander but I didn’t always understand Emily. I loved the secret letters and how they fell in love, it made for a really unique and enjoyable read. Also I think that the story being loosely based on the London Beer Flood deserves mention too because it is so different!! That part of the story was incredibly interesting! I had to look it up because it seemed so unbelievable!
Engaging page turner of a story. The characters are funny and charming. I love it when authors do series and you are able to see characters develop and grow. The series of notes passed back and forth in the cemetery was genius. Wonderful wrap up to a great series.
