A DANGEROUS GAME 
Heartbroken by the loss of her brother, Miss Leonora Craven vows to uncover the truth about his "accident," which seems to have been anything but. Jonathan Craven was involved with the Lords of Anarchy, a notorious driving club, and Leonora can’t help but suspect foul play. But the only way she can infiltrate their reckless inner circle is to enlist the help of Jonny’s closest ally, Lord Frederick Lisle. If only he didn’t also happen to be the man who broke Leonora’s heart… AN UNDENIABLE DESIREFrederick isn’t surprised to find gorgeous, headstrong Leonora playing detective, but he knows that the Lords of Anarchy mean business—and he has no choice but to protect her. A sham engagement to Leonora will allow Frederick to bring her into the club and along for the ride. But it isn’t long before pretending to be lovers leads to very real passion. With everything to lose, is their tempestuous affair worth the risk?

This is the type of book you read on a lazy day, it's not a masterpiece but it's not awful. 

Things I liked:

• Even though it was Nora that broke her engagement Freddy never tried any ridiculous plot to humiliate her, he admits that he got hurt and didn't take it well but that later he understood that there was an important reason for it.
• Honestly the Lords of Anarchy are the regency version of a motorcycle gang, I find thus hilarious for some reason.

Things I didn't like:

• While I understand why Nora broke the engagement I wish she had told Freddy, he had never given her reasons to doubt him; the lack of communication trope is getting old especially when the heroine is intelligent lady.
