BOOK REVIEW- THE ROGUE YOU KNOW

The Rogue You Know (Covent Garden Cubs Book 2) by [Galen, Shana]
She's beyond his reach...
Gideon Harrow has spent his life in London's dark underworld-and he wants out. A thief and a con, he plans one last heist to finally win his freedom. But when everything goes wrong, he finds himself at the tender mercies of one of Society's most untouchable women-Lady Susanna Derring.
...and out of her depth.
Susanna has spent her life in London's glittering ton, under the thumb of a domineering mother-and she wants out. When a wickedly charming rogue lands at her feet, she jumps at the chance to experience life before it's too late. But as she descends into London's underworld, she finds that nothing- not even Gideon-is as it seems. As excitement turns to danger, Susanna must decide what price she's willing to pay...for the love of a reformed thief.   AMAZON 3 Stars
I now have read Books 1-3.
While I liked this book, it probably was a lessor favorite of mine in the series.  I suspected that might be the case though but I am still glad that I read it.  . The reason is probably because more time was spent in the slums. It was a necessary part of the story though.  The main characters were good though.  I did want to know what happened to Gideon who was such a close friend of Marlow.   And Susanna was shaping up in the preview as someone who was going to crack if things didn't change.   I also felt like she found her "spunk", as the story continued. She also accidentally uncovered the beginnings of a mystery about herself.  It was a well written story with a lot of twists and turns and a unique ending with a HEA.

I did think that the cover for the ebook was a good one.
