Regency caper with a…No! make that many differences!

My Rogue to Ruin (Wild Wynchesters #4) by Erica Ridley    

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My second introduction to the Wynchester siblings and it continues to be a wild ride. An unusual family of mixed persons from varying backgrounds, a family made not born, who seek to right the wrongs done to ordinary folk. There’s a host of animals involved like a gorgeous homing hedgehog. I know—wonderful comic relief! 

It seems there’s a counterfeiter loose in the community. Folks are being relieved of their hard won cash.

Marjorie Wynchester is the artist who sees things in terms of color explosions! Lovely! She’s hard of hearing and wants to prove to her family that she can take the lead in this case searching for the swindler.

Enter the gorgeous and artistic Lord Adrian. Banished seven years ago to the continent by his father the Marquess of Meadowbrook for daring to turn his energies towards a career in art. He’s the youngest son of Meadowbrook, an intolerant stickler.

Adrian has been blackmailed into counterfeiting coins by the rogue Snowley, known as the Grandfather of St. Giles. He has Bow Street runners in his pocket. Coins that the residents of the area can ill afford to lose. You see, Adrian had been counterfeiting artefacts for those on their Grand Tour but, with the war over chances are his copies would be discovered as just that. He thought a simple explanation to Snowley and he’d be able to bow out. What an innocent! Snowley was not about to cut Adrian loose. He’s about to use Adrian to increase his own profits.

Marjorie, after her own investigations, has decided to put the counterfeiting people out of business. Once she discovers Adrian’s role and the bind he’s in, she wants to fix his situation as well.

Complex, zany and completely enjoyable!
