Legendary Rogues--a Regency era treat!
Captivating the Scoundrel (Legendary Rogues #4) by Darcy Burke
A dramatic conclusion to the the search for the search for the Thirteen Treasures of the Knights of the Round Table. "items gathered by Arthur and his knights for one of their own—Gareth—so that he could win his bride.”
Gideon Kersey is a direct descendant of Gareth and he has a plan to regain the dagger, one of the treasures, from Timothy Foliot the power behind the shadowy Camelot group, all descendants from Arthur's Knights, who are pursuing the treasures for their own ends.
Gideon and his friends want to reunite all the treasures and take them to safety.
Unfortunately Gideon is drawn into Foliot's plan to marry his daughter to Gideon thus securing the sacred bloodline to Foliot's descendants.
His daughter, Daphne is unaware of her father's obsession and has been pursuing her own studies of Morgan Le Fay and the cloak of invisibility. This is the part that really won me over as Morgan Le Fay or Morgana has always fascinated me and I find Burke's explanation of her role in the Arthurian cycle very pleasing.
Daphne is intelligent, focused and compassionate, also brilliantly sneaky when needed. That she's very attractive and there seems to be a startling alchemy between the two is something that Gideon fights as much as he is able.
Gideon needs the cloak to carry out his plan, and that search is an eye opener.
I found this last in the series a fascinating romp as the intrigue continued, with some very big surprises along the way.
Once again, I winged my way through this entrancing finale to the 'Legendary Rogues' and enjoyed every moment!
