Lord Lukas Hawkins, the rakish second son of the House of Trent, has never found a wager he couldn't win or a woman he couldn't seduce—until his search for his missing mother leads him to a mysterious encounter with a beautiful stranger.
Luke's mother has been missing for months, and while his honorable older brother Simon, Duke of Trent, leads the official investigation from London, Luke sets out on a somewhat seedier path. Sources have told him his mother was last seen with a scoundrel named Roger Morton, but their association isn't clear. Was she kidnapped or did she go willingly?
While searching for Morton, Luke meets Emma Anderson, a secretive beauty with her own reasons for hunting Morton. At first Luke laughs at the idea of allowing a woman to join him in his search, but soon Emma's insights into Morton—like the woman herself—prove impossible to resist.

The Rogue’s Proposal is the first novel I have read by
Jennifer Hayworth, so I did not know what to expect. I can be picky with
historical romances – they can so easily become too heavy on the history while
not focusing enough on the romance or vice versa.
In this story
neither happened, as, from the outset, this is primarily a character driven
novel. Sure, they’re looking for the man who kidnapped and murdered a loved one
respectively, but the journey is more about Luke and Emma’s emotional change
rather than the changing surroundings.
As you can
guess from the title, Luke is a rogue. A major player; the guy women want to be
with and men want to be. Personally, Luke does not appeal to me as a love
interest. He’s the ultimate bad boy, but bad boys aren’t my type. Luckily, they
are Emma’s type, and although she tries to avoid it, he’s exactly what she
wants.
Emma is a
strong character, a woman who will do whatever she has to do, no matter the
cost. She is honourable, strong and naive yet innocent. She’s the perfect foil
for Luke.
The sexual
tension is palpable, and the love scenes graphic. And there are a lot of them.
If you’re looking for a romance that’s more about talking and less about sex,
this book is not for you. However, if you like really bad bad boys, lots of
angst and imaginative loving, then this is for you.
All together I
give it about 3 out of 5 stars.
