Flaming June
Rogues & Gentlemen: Book Ten

AMAZON UK Kindle Storyteller Awards 2018 "Romance Reads You Can't Miss" Listed in the top 20 from over 6000 entrants.

When the beautiful Lady Isabella Scranford finds herself in the family way and her lover refuses to do the honourable thing, she knows her life is at an end. With a reputation for being a cold-hearted bitch, there will be no sympathy for her, only shame and ridicule.

Finding that even her best - and only - friend refuses to be associated with her any longer, Isabella decides she cannot go on and makes a fateful decision.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This story blew me away. I have never gone back and bought a book I've read through the Unlimited program before. My reading material is vast, from politics to history to mysteries to Booker Man and Novel Prize books and the classics, and in between it all I read romance novels. I've read thousands in my lifetime and this was a wonderful and simply remarkable book.” ~ Amazon customer review

Henry Barbour is known locally as the Bear of Barcham Wood.
Living alone in the vast and decaying splendour of Barcham Place, surrounded by wilderness and woodland, he inspires such tales of madness that no one will go near the once grand house. But when a filthy and frightening man rescues Isabella from drowning, she begins to believe her fate has taken an even darker turn.

Yet appearances can be deceptive, and an unlikely bond is created between two damaged souls who need to hide from the world.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “This book had all the components of a fantastic read. Imperfect people which made them perfect characters. Great storyline, details flushed out. No loose ends which I highly appreciate. A complete book with a worthy epilogue.” ~ Amazon customer review

As Isabella comes to understand the meaning of compassion, she begins to realise that the most important things in life are not at all what she expected them to be.

The tenth book of the acclaimed Rogues & Gentlemen historical romance series from Emma V Leech, the multi-award-winning Amazon Top 10 romance writer. Author of fan favourites such as Flaming June and Last Man in London, both listed in the 20 'Romance Reads You Can't Miss' in the Amazon Kindle Storyteller Awards 2018.

**** Warning: This book contains a careful selection of quiet determination, resolute tight-lipped-ness and (almost) insurmountable levels of tension. Although coupled with the presence of occasionally descriptive sexual encounters, we are very pleased to highlight that this book - and series - is in no way verging on erotica. ****

The Rogues & Gentlemen series can be enjoyed as stand-alone novels or as part of the wider series. If the full series appeals, the suggested – but by no means essential - reading order would be:

• Book 1: The Rogue
• Book 2: The Earl's Temptation
• Book 3: Scandal's Daughter
• Book 4: The Devil May Care
• Book 5: Nearly Ruining Mr Russell
• Book 5.5: Winter's Wild Melody
• Book 6: One Wicked Winter
• Book 7: To Tame a Savage Heart
• Book 8: Persuading Patience
• Book 9: The Last Man in London
• Book 10: Flaming June
• Book 11: Charity and The Devil
• Book 12: A Slight Indiscretion
• Book 13: The Corinthian Duke
• Book 14: The Blackest of Hearts
• Book 15 Duke and Duplicity
• Book 16 The Scent of Scandal
• Book 16.5 The Christmas Rose
• Book 17 Melting Miss Wynter
• Book 17.5 The Winter Bride, a Rogues & Gentlemen Novella

Happy reading! And please do leave a review if you can – it would mean the world to hear what you enjoyed most about the book.

This is an EXCELLENT, extremely well written novel!

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019

Flaming June (Rogues and Gentlemen Book 10) is an EXCELLENT, extremely well written novel! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I also loved how an entire story was based on a Frederic Leighton painting.

Pros: Strong, sensible, relatable heroine. I very much enjoyed how she would try to save herself or others in times of trouble.
A very deft touch regarding writing about people who don't 'fit the norm'. Brilliantly done! Strong characters. I loved, loved, loved how not only does Isabella grow, change and mature, I loved how she made a heartfelt and concerted effort to UNDERSTAND Henry and not try to make him live within the confines of 'normal' society. I loved the author's deft touch regarding Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. People who suffer from this always feel out of step with other people and need understanding, but not molly-coddling, as to their needs. Very well done.
The dialogue was extremely well written, with no lapses into modernity, repetition or trite phrases. The story flows extremely well and makes sense at all times.
Secondary characters were strong and well written.
Lovely HEA.

I rarely, rarely, if EVER, give five star ratings. This book deserves each and every star.

Stupid title, wonderful book

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2020

I've had this on my kindle for quite some time but kept putting off reading it because of the title. Once I reached the point where I needed to either read this one or buy another, I decided to take a chance. Wowza! The first page hooked me and I read it nonstop. Lunch was a sandwich in one hand, kindle in the other. Same for dinner! Lady Isabella is not a nice person. She is an icy-cold beauty with no friends and a heartless mother who shows her nothing but contempt. When her mother pushes her to do "anything" to secure a viscount's hand in marriage, she gives in to him and finds herself pregnant and alone. Her mother throws her out of the house with little clothing and no money. She is so despondent that she attempt to take her life but if saved by "the Bear of Barcham Woods." Henry Barbour is reputed to me mad and is avoided by everyone. He lives alone except for one servant and doesn't bathe, rarely speaks, and has nothing to do with people. The love story that develops between these two outcasts from society is incredibly moving. The plot is unique, the characters are fascinating, and the dialogue is good.
4 1/2 Stars that would have been 5 if not for the errors that could have been easily caught by a good editor or proofreader.

Sexual situations (hot and often) may offend some readers

VERY UNIQUE - IN THE BEST WAY

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

This was my 7th book by the author, and my favorite. I used so many emotions reading this story. I started out not liking the h and wondered how or if the author was going to make me like her. She was rude and into herself and treated everyone around her horribly. This author had me feeling sorry for her after only a few chapter's.

The H is a big and scary man and has a problem being around people. When this story takes place, what he had wasn't diagnoised yet (autism). These two helped each other and I enjoyed the conversations and how they worked through their problems. The friends being added, with their own problems was special and heart warming.

There is lovemaking, within marriage and heat level 3.5-4 out of 5. Because I felt a connection to them, it was filled with passion and not vulgar. There is one described foreplay that was rated higher, but only once.

The struggles they went through was emotional and filled with suspense wondering how they would get through it with the way he could or couldn't handle a situation.

What a unique story line and I hated to see it end. We are treated to an epilogue 7 -8 years in the future which warmed my big Polish heart. I can't improve on the blurb, just highly recommendiing this emotional journey of two souls helping each other in more ways they could imagine. Great secondary character's too. No cheating, no cliffhanger, wonderful journey to HEA too. (ljb)

Unlimited Kindle Reader who Loved it so much I bought it

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2018

This story blew me away. I have never gone back and bought a book I've read through the Unlimited program. My reading material is vast from politics to history to mysteries to Booker Man and Novel Prize books and the classics, and in between it all I read romance novels and I've read thousands in my lifetime and this was wonderful and simply remarkable book. I read it in about 2 days, though sort of fought against that as I pushed to find more time to read it with almost trepidation I knew then I'll finish and leave the characters and didn't want to do so.

Henry & Isabelle are well rounded, developed characters and the inclusion of characters from the prior novels in this series that mesh well with this couple was perfect. I have read the series in order and glad that I have, as the connections really do lead you on one to the other.

I love Ms Leech writing style, but she went above and beyond with this novel. I really actually find it appauling that this book has not won a historical romance award, though not sure how those are handled, but it's the best historical romance I've read in years.

Throughout the book I became teary eyed and then smiling, and sometimes a laugh bursting from me. It just pulls at your emotions over and over in the best of ways. Ms. Leech really tapped into something special when she developed the characters and plot.

Do yourself a favor and read it!

Note: To those who are not a fan of detailed loved scenes -- there is some detail, but it's far from as blatant as in the earlier books of this series and far from what appears in many other romance novels, and there's not much. Mostly what is there is about the connection made between the lovers Henry & Isabelle.

A different book from the first Rogue and Gentlemen. I never imagined that Isabella, a scathing character from the WICKED WINTER, could be the Heroine of a book, and the complexity of Henry and Isabella relationship is very much fascinating and well rendered. Absolutely recommended.

I’ve read most of the books in this series and enjoyed them all. This one didn’t disappoint. I especially liked it because it took a totally different path than the previous stories. It was sort of a Regency version of Beauty and the Beast.

Heartwarming story

Reviewed in India on February 7, 2021

A story where broken and so called "odd" people find themselves through love for each other....this is a story that makes you believe in the goodness of people...a story that tells that everything is achievable if you have the love of your life and good friends with you. A story that makes you feel good...I enjoyed it, loved it!

Reviewed in Germany on March 7, 2020

The story starts right in the middle of it, with Isabella, an initially not-so-likeable female protagonist, being thrown out by her cold-hearted mother. How she meets Henry and Jack, and how she adapts to Henry's ... peculiarities, is heartwarming, and the story is brilliantly told. So we have fairly realistic protagonists, a good plot, an interesting era, and a great narrator - I couldn't wish for more in a book, apart from it not ending! There was no nail-biting suspense, but enough of a page turner that I could not (or rather did not want) to stop reading until I came to the last word in the story.
I do want more of this author.
