As a founding member of King & Co., London's most successful private investigation firm, studious Eleanor Law delights in secretly proving that women can solve crimes just as well as men. When a charming con man pretends to be her fictional boss, "Charles King," Ellie knows he's lying, but accepting the scoundrel's offer of help might just be the key to cracking her new case and recovering a priceless manuscript.

"Henri Bonheur"—or "Harry" as he asks to be called—claims his criminal past is behind him, but a man who steals and seduces with such consummate ease can never be trusted. As the investigation draws them deeper into danger and desire, Ellie's infuriated to realize she's developed feelings for her law-breaking accomplice.

very entertaining

I'm loving this book series. I think the first book was better than the second book. I'm thrilled that the third book is now available to read. this book was very enjoyable. it was worth a credit. the main characters loved I just wish they had a little bit more intimate scenes together other than that it was great.

Ellie and Harry

When Ellie meets Henri Bonheur at a ball, she almost immediately spots him for a con man. His name is her first clue. Somehow Harry manages to talk his way into helping with an investigation pretending to be the mysterious, and non-existent, Mr. King of the King &Co. Investigations firm. His help was his way of testing the firm before he hired them to help him. As annoying as the man is, Ellie manages to fall for him (and he for her). Daisy and Tess see the spark and the possibilities, and decide to help Cupid along. This is a very charming story, well-written, fast-paced, with mystery, secret identity, fun and humor, and a lovely romance. The characters are engaging and likeable. Ellie and her partners are intelligent and confident. Harry is handsome, smart, and a reformed (almost) rake. The chemistry between Harry and Ellie is electric. Harry’s uncle is an entertaining treat. This heartwarming addition to the Her Majesty’s Rebels series is brought to life by the talented Beverley A. Crick.

A Lot of Fun

4.5 Stars ⭐️ How to Fall for a Scoundrel was a lot of fun! Ellie was attending a ball and received a kiss by a man who claimed to be Charles King. However, Charles King doesn’t exist as Ellie and her friends made him up as a cover for their private investigation company. The man, Harry, has a murky past. As a moral thief, Harry and Ellie worked together to recover stolen items, including uncovering a name. Harry is a fantastic scoundrel! He was gone for Ellie before she fell in love with him. Both are equally intelligent and cunning. Their banter was a lot of fun, and their chemistry was perfect.
