The Last Man in London
Rogues & Gentleman, Book 9

Dinah Osborne needs a husband and she needs one now.
Not just any man will do. To meet the terms of her rather eccentric grandfather’s will, she must be safely engaged to marry a man of worth before her twenty-first birthday or she’ll not receive a penny of her rather large inheritance. Sadly her social climbing grandfather’s notions of worth and her own are not in the least alike, and nothing but a Lord will satisfy the terms of his will. But Dinah is alone in the world and has no entry into the select ranks of the ton.

She does, however, know a thing or two about blackmail.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A Different Tale - This book fascinated me because it was a different tale than any other romance I’ve read. The characters are not all from the ton. So their lives lead us down a new path but with strength in their characters which allows us to admire them, root for them and come to love them.- Amazon Customer

Enter Lord Benjamin Lancaster
Lord Benjamin Lancaster is a determined rake, a hardened gambler, and the kind of man who fills Dinah with disgust. However a title is a title, and she’s quite content to use him for her own ends. Yet her fake fiancé is not quite as easy to handle as Dinah had hoped, and he’s determined to have more for his trouble than the financial reward promised him. Dinah is not immune to his deep blue eyes or his dark charm, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s the last man in London that she would ever give her heart to …

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐What a Rogue! I have read many of the Rogues and Gentlemen books, but I think this one is my favorite. Emma Leech weaves a tale of romance that wraps you up in hope, desire and everlasting love. Truly a gifted writer and I can't wait to read more! -Amazon Customer

Warning: This book has a stubborn, willful and feisty heroine and a drool worthy gentleman. There WILL be some cursing and graphically descriptive sex scenes no way even bordering 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.

At Last!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

I have started and abandoned four dozen Regency romance books trying to find one with a spark of originality and characters that truly deserve my concern. I have finally found it! This book was an utter delight. I can’t wait to devour everything this author has written.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

I have read a few of the series and you will not be lost if you start with this one. The author is talented and pulled me into the story and caring for the H/h from the beginning.

This is a romance story that builds slowly. Lately when I read this genre, romance is lacking, but not here. There is one foreplay scene prior to marriage and mildly described. There is passionate lovemaking, within marriage and heat level 4 out of 5. I didn't find it vulgar but because I liked both H/h you felt their connection and love. The scenes don't last chapter after chapter - just near the end.

The secondary character's are richly written and you will care for them. I will have to research because I hope Tommy, Will and even Joe get a chance at HEA.

We have no cheating, no cliffhanger, we are treated to an epilogue about 1 year in the future, romance and HEA. What I enjoyed also, there would be misunderstanding or lack of communication and it didn't last long. There banter also added to the story. I recommend this story and others by this author.

I can't improve on the blurb, so not trying, just what you may get out of reading it. This author writes her character's with such depth, you feel like you know them. (ljb)

Never in His Wildest Dreams

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

Lord Lancaster, third son of the Marquess of Henshaw, is definitely a dispensable spare. Which is probably why he lives only for his own pleasure. He is justly known as a rake and wastrel. A true gentleman he is not.

If not for Joe raising her and protecting her, Dinah Osburne would have been lost to the streets of London when she was orphaned. She has learned well the many talents Joe taught her, but still she has lived a hand-to-mouth existence. She has been tutored in the was of a lady, but a true lady she is not.

When Ben Lancaster and Dinah Osburne cross paths, fireworks, angst and passion will be on display for all to see.

I'm a big fan of Emma V. Leech. I love both her stories and her writing style. Her works are easy to read and she brings the Regency period to life. She is also a master at morphing her characters personalities from the not so likable to the lovable. Which is why I am not surprised that I enjoyed The Last Man in London so much.

All in all this was an entertaining and engrossing read with a happy ending that included an epilogue.

Content alert: God's name is used 37 times; there is some light swearing (d*mn/h*ll); there are two lightly described intimate scenes; and there is some passionate kissing.

Ridiculously good

This book brought tears to my eyes more than once - it was just that sweet of a story.
Renowned rake and the poverty stricken girl that reforms him. I think I liked this trope more than the rake and the wallflower.

How does one convince the Last Lord of London to become engaged-yet alone marry—in 6 weeks?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

An enjoyable story of Ben, a spoiled third son of a Lord, and Dinah, the penniless granddaughter of a wealthy man who find themselves under obligation to become engaged—she, to inherit from her grandfather, and he, to honor his gambling debt to her. Ben is the last of his profligate friends—all the rest have become ‘leg-shackled’. None of that for him!

There is the evil lawyer who wants Dinah and her wealth all to himself, who must be convinced of the sincerity of the betrothal. And there is Ben’s family which must, somehow, accept Dinah into the fold, despite her rough background. The stage is set for an enjoyable story that develops a romantic overtone and ends with a HEA. Readers who love clean Regency Romances will enjoy this delightful, and rather light-hearted, book.

Chase and misunderstandings

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

I liked this book, even though there were a few errors in regards missing words here and there. Dinah was raised by a friend of her deceased father, and still quite young when her mother died. Joe taught her how to cheat at cards as well as talk and act like a lady. Her wealthy grandfather dies, and names her to inherit with one stipulation, she has to become engaged to a Lord before her 21st birthday, which is only 6 weeks away. So she and Joe find a rake and gambler, who is Lord Lancaster, and cheats and wins playing cards with him, so that he agrees to pretend they are engaged. So begins the story of their relationship. It was a little draggy at times, and yet still an engaging romance.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

Except for some tendency to drop 1-3 letter words in some places, this story read very well. (It's almost as though the ebook edits itself to make the print fit the line by dropping an "a" or "an" here and there.) There are no real surprises--it is clear from the beginning that Ben and Dinah will fall deeply in love and make a life together. Perhaps there is a bit of a twist to the ending, but it is all good. On a steamy scale, it's about a 3--nothing especially graphic or salacious and most after vows.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

This story is hilarious and brought a smile and laughter as Dinah tries to manage Lord Benjamin Lancaster. I don't think the author meant it to be a romantic comedy, but these two reprobates are perfect together as they face the ridiculous to get Dinah's inheritance from the nasty weaselly lawyer. Let's face it, a regular woman of the ton would never had snared Ben's heart. The man is reprehensible, and needs someone who has the backbone to stand against his rakish ways.

Distinctly Second-rate

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is the first book I have read by this author , and my last.
The plot is a rehash of a great many others but it did not come alive.
We have a poor but (fairly) honest cardsharp , a real rough diamond, bringing up a gently nurtured girl. She should be rich but isn't, thanks to a mean and grouchy grandad. To add to her troubles this Cinderella figure is called Dinah, a name usually reserved for toddlers or pets!
Enter a greasy lawyer unbelievably called Mr. Grubber and a dissolute lord. If i were being really nit-picking I would point out he was not really a lord ,this is a courtesy title, as he is a younger son , so he should be called Lord Benjamin.
It all turned quite nicely , everyone lived happily ever after . It was so predictable it did not engage my interest, beyond making me feel irritated

Dianna an orphan and a card trickster ,has been left a fortune by a grandfather she has never met on the condition she becomes engaged to a Lord any Lord by her 21at birthday. and Ben a Lord has a reputation as a ladies man, who drinks and gambles.
He looses heavily to Dianna who blackmailed him into pretending to be engaged to her, so. That she can inherit the.money. Well it's never that straightforward is it. But a brilliant love story comes from this.

Definitely 5 stars for this book. You don't need to of read others before this. Dinah needs a husband and quick, not just any man but a man of worth before she will inherit her grandfathers money. Lord Benjamin Lancaster is a determined rake, a hardened gambler and the kind of man that fills Dinah with disgust, however she is quite content to use him for her own means. Look forward to the romance to blossom with lots of troubles thrown in!

Superb read and great storyline. Gives insight into how good or bad people can be and how families will endure together and ignore the snobby attitude of the self importance of societal misfits.
