Knight is the heir of a selfish vicious Viscount, who disowned him because he stood up to him. Louisa grew up poor and married an older innkeeper for security. When Knight discovers his father has died and Louisa is faced with a man who claims to be her stepson and wants to take away her inn, they set out on a journey together to discover the truth and to face Knight’s past. Along the way they encounter highwaymen and other unsavory characters that want to do them harm. They also discover an attraction for each other that they can’t fight and the potential for a love that would overcome all their hardships and find peace and happiness together. There was plenty of action, humor, and romance in this concluding story to the series.
Another great book in the series!!! Love the steamy and dangerous thrill in these historical romances!!! I look forward to her next book!!! Read and enjoy!!!
Four and a half stars for a different kind of Regency Romance. Louisa is a strong female character not waiting around for someone to save her. Knight is a troubled man trying to resist his attraction to Louisa. The story is well paced and the characters interesting.

I am always so happy when I see a new book by Samantha Holt. She writes wonderful characters and stories that just make you love historical romance even more. The hero, Lewis Knight has a past he just wants to forget, so he works to help the Earl of Redmere with his smuggling activity. But it is a ruse to hide that they are helping the war effort.
When forced to return home, he ends up accompanying Louisa in a carriage ride and finds he just cannot get out of his thoughts! Louisa runs an Inn that she thought was hers but soon she is threatened and fears what will happen!! I loved these two characters and how they were both attracted to each other. Knight thinking nobody would truly care for him finds he has inherited his father’s title and estates.
Find yourself caught up in this fast paced tale that is the last in this amazing series. Although this can be read as a standalone, trust me, you will want to read them all!!
Highly entertaining, sweetly sexy, emotionally thrilling and engaging romantic adventure filled with danger, mystery and lots of scorching hot passion ….. had me hooked.
She is looking to save the inn that has become her entire life and he is looking to get lost on the high seas and forget the past…. loved the witty banter, heart pounding action and exciting journey.
Enjoyed the book. It is well written and entertaining to the very end. Knight and others are aiding England in its fight against Napoleon in the war by smuggling into France anything required of them. Because of this, they smuggle items back that they sell for a profit. Knight has come to care for Louisa but has never acted on these feelings until she is force to go Bath in order to save her inn. She travels with Knight and along the way there feelings become stronger and they give in to them. Knight is amazed that she would care for him as he is badly scarred from the war. There is a lot that happens in this book, Louisa’s stepson arrives claiming the inn, Knight inherits his father’s title Viscount and a crumbling indebted estate and other dangers occur along the way. There is a HEA for Knight and Louisa but there is a lot that happens first. This is a great book to read and I would highly recommend it.
This wraps up the Rogues of Redmere series. Knight and Louisa are the last couple in the group of eight friends to acknowledge their love for each other and get married. The characters are fun, charming and witty. It is filled with wonderful friendships and a strong bond of brotherhood.
The fourth book in the Rogues of Redmere series it is a well-written story that kept my interest throughout. Knight and Louisa’s story has suspense, danger, drama, smuggling, a villain, and romance. I want to read this series again. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
4.5 Stars
Lewis Knight left behind his life as the son of a viscount years ago. The rough, scarred man is quite content to use his brute force and bad reputation to help the Earl of Redmere with his smuggling, which is a ruse to aid the war effort. Knight doesn’t care too much about the reasons behind the subterfuge, so long as he gets paid.
Then he’s forced to return to his estate in Northumberland after his father dies and thanks to the earl’s meddling, he’s accompanied by the woman who plagues his thoughts far too often.
Louisa has been too busy running her inn to think too much about the dark, brooding Knight. However, when a man arrives in Cornwall with life changing news and Louisa’s inn is threatened, she must investigate. With Knight’s help, she digs into this stranger’s past and stirs up more danger than she thought possible.
This is the fourth & final book in the series, it could well be read on its own, however if like me you love series you’ll want to read all four books. This is another engrossing read from the author, the pace is good & kept me riveted from start to finish. The characters are well portrayed & have plenty of depth. The descriptions of the slums in Bristol aren’t laboured but in a few sentences I could really visualise the dirt & squalor. I would have liked to have found out what happened to Abigail, maybe just a sentence in the epilogue. A shame the series has to end but this book tied up all the loose ends.
My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read
What’s a Rogue Got To Do With It by Samantha Holt is book Four in the Rogues of Redmere Series. This is the story of Lewis and Louisa. I have read (and Loved!) the previous books, but feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Louisa is a young widow who runs a Inn which she thought was hers until a thought dead step-son comes forward to claim the Inn. Lewis Knight left his life of a noblemen years ago to go forward to help with the smuggling business to aid the War. Knight has been attracted to Louisa from the start but has kept his feelings to himself because of his scars from the past. Then Louisa needs help which leads them to not be able to fight their feelings as they once were able too.
Loved their story and such a big fan of Ms. Holt’s books. Can’t wait to read more from this author!
This is a very enjoyable read. The chemistry between Lewis and Louisa was quite good and the plot engaging and exciting. With plenty of drama and danger to keep your interest during reading.
4 1/2 STARS! Fourth and final book in the Rogues of Redmere series. Has secondary characters from previous books in the series but can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone. Louisa a widow runs the local inn. Her ownership is in question when a thought dead stepson returns with the deed.

Both desiring the other but also keeping their distance. A match making friend has them traveling together alone and that is when the relationship takes off. This is a super sweet novella with a little steamy. Great book, I loved the series and highly recommend!
