A Rogue's Deadly Redemption (The Willoughby Family Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

Scandal forced Lady Lily Melrose into an untenable decision: marry the man she wanted but who wanted someone else or leave her home for America. She gambled and stayed. Now, almost four years later, Lily is ready to gamble again—on a future that means leaving her neglectful, absent husband behind. But when a deadly adversary threatens them both, Lily realizes how little she understood about her husband—and her marriage. She's faced with another impossible choice: leave the man she loved to face certain death or stay and fight to help him deliver on a promise he no longer remembers.

Robert Melrose was raised as the forgotten third-born son with no future—without even the label of black sheep to keep him respectable. Not content with obscurity, he cultivated his own path to power, aligning himself with London's underworld, where betrayal is deadly. But when an accident wipes away his past, Robert can't remember who he is or what he's done. What he does know is that his wife, Lily, evokes a strong need inside—a need to prove he's better than his past. But when his past becomes a present danger, Robert must choose: gain the trust and love of the woman intent on leaving or let her walk away from him and the danger that might cost both their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner by Jeannie Ruesch!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2015

Jeannie Ruesch is a new author to me, but I am ever so happy to have found her!! This is the third book I've read in the Willoughby Family Series, and it was nearly as good as the fist. The first (There's Something about Her) was Outstanding! This is a story of the next to youngest of four sisters who has had to grow up in the shadows of her two older (and in her opinion, more beautiful) sisters. As we know, not all things thrive in the shadows of the sun. Lily is married to the third son of a Marquis, and is also somewhat neglected and never feels wanted or worthy of love. So, basically you have two insecure people in a marriage who don't know how to show the other their or their spouses worth. But, trying to learning that lesson is what makes this such a genuinely romantic book without being in any way a cookie cutter romance! Look forward to Many more novels by this author!

Lily had married Robert Melrose the third son of a Marquis 4 years ago She knew he did not want her but her sister Cordelia. Her sister got mad that Robert liked Lily and told a lie causing Lily and Robert to marry. Four years later she was tired of an uncaring absent husband. She had a miscarriage and he did not even comfort her then. She was going to stay at her brother's house for two weeks .The plan then was to sail to America and be with her mother. Robert did not even care when she told him she was going.She goes to her brother's and while there Robert had an accident and lost his memory. He is now the husband she always wanted but she knows it won't last.
Robert has done something terribly wrong thugs are demanding something from him he just can't remember what. He and Lily are both abducted at times.Two deaths occur because of this .He finally has to go to his brother that he has ignored for years for help.He finally remembers what he had been doing. I did not see that he had a good enough reason to get involved in what he did. He had problems feeling unloved as a child.He turned against both of his brothers thinking they were treated better. He said that was the reason he ignored Lily. He even had false information about him put in the paper about his women ,gambling and drinking. I think that Lily must have really loved him to trust him again. He finally I think realized what he had done. In time to change his life. The book has some very emotional moments not a happy book most of the time for the people involved.
I would like to read a book about Captain Keenan what made him a criminal. He had lost his wife and child. I know he did not play a big part in book but seemed to be an interesting character..

2.0 out of 5 stars Annoyingly stupid
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2020

This has to be the most annoying, stupid group of people I’ve ever read. There were no discussions just everyone talking at once. No one listened to anything anyone had to say. Here we have an emergency situation-lives in danger and every serious sharing of information began with let’s talk tomorrow. So they waited and of course everything went wrong. Two stars is actually generous.

This book had me going through so much emotions. I love it. Robert was a complete s***, but he had his reasons why he was the way he was. The death of Cary & Edwin was sad. I was hoping they would come back to life, in some mysterious way. But alas not. Good read.

3.0 out of 5 stars A very questionable hero
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2015
This author has a knack for writing fast-paced stories which you won't put down and devour in one sitting. It is too bad that the middle book of this series is not available on Kindle Unlimited, so I feel like I'm missing a part of the story due to going from Book 1 to Book 3, but I hope all the essentials are represented here. There's a lot of good to be said about this author's writing. However, I cannot give a very high evaluation for a book where the fundamental problem is with the hero. He did so much bad stuff, and even if the criminal dealings could have been redeemed, there are important, close people dead because of him, etc. - it just doesn't make sense that he would be allowed to avoid consequences and that the heroine would love him so much, he just doesn't seem to deserve to be a hero, and thanks to her devotion she seems either stupid or lacking in some basic integrity... The book is called 'redemption', but I did not really feel that he was or could have been redeemed after those deaths. I just can't accept that he would deserve to get away and that he would deserve Lily's love...
P.S. There's some sort of formatting issue with the epilogue, I hope it gets fixed...

not to my taste a totally unpleasant weak man married to a wet blanket,I understand the idea of redeeming a tarnished hero but this one is too black being a criminal and cause of the death of brother, friend and others by trying to become important to the underworld just because he felt ignored as a child his wife just needed to get a backbone no magic or even love for anything other than self for most of book then very lukewam
