Rogue's Honor (The Saint of Seven Dials Book 1) Kindle Edition
To escape her stepmother, the duchess’s matchmaking machinations, Lady Pearl Moreston runs away, pretending to be a common housemaid, with the help of her abigail. When she is rescued from the near-disaster of recognition by a charming serving-man, Pearl pretends to be simple-minded to safeguard herself from any unwanted advances. But soon she begins to suspect that her rescuer is far more than the common servant he seemed at first.
Luke St. Clair lives a double life, pretending to be a gentleman while in reality sustaining himself and the needy as the notorious Robin Hood-type thief, the Saint of Seven Dials. The last thing he needs in his life is a beautiful simpleton in need of protection. But “Purdy” proves to be anything but simple—or common! Once he learns the truth, does he dare continue, in the ballrooms of the elite, the flirtation that began in the slums of London? The risk is enormous, but Lady Pearl’s sweet kisses may just be worth it.
Book 1 of the popular Saint of Seven Dials series!

Pearl a privileged upper class daughter of her father who is a duke is being forced into a betrothal by her wicked stepmother to escape the oppressive and restrictive lifestyle that her stepmother is attempting to impose on her so Pearl dresses as a common servant at a party. While there Pearl meets Luke also who is incognito as a servant as well who saves her from being discovered. Pearl is able to escape detection but has lost her friend who accompanied and helped her with her disguise. Can Pearl get back to her comfortable ducal daughter upper-class lifestyle and find her friend or is Pearl stuck with the mysterious noble lower class Luke? Pearl also doesn’t really know who Luke is. Is he the mysterious saint of seven dials or a thief?
The handsome enigmatic hero Luke, Lucio or is he the saint of seven dials well whoever he decides to be is just such a complex piece of work one moment he is interested in the beautiful equally mysterious suffocated duke’s daughter and heroine Pearl or Purdy whoever she decides to be as well. While both of them were attempting to play a role neither one thought to try to actually play themselves or maybe they really couldn’t stand who they were deep down. Luke also proceeds to ignore Pearl for several weeks then has the gall to even be upset at the fact that her stepmother traps her and betroths Pearl to another so Luke starts paying attention to her acts like he loves her and shows feeling deep remorse for her. All this indecisive behavior left me so bewildered that I just wanted Luke to just state his intentions. I can understand his dilemma somewhat he’s perturbed and maybe somewhat annoyed when Pearl intrudes into his personal life by finding out his true heritage that made me think maybe he needed to go for someone else. Pearl also kind of bothered me at times and maybe it had to do with her impractical romanticized view of a unrealistic lifestyle. Okay Pearl was a gullible naïve dreamer and wanted to change all the injustices and cruelty of the world which was endearing but in her attempt to change Luke she so drastically changed him that no wonder he had no choice but to be aloof and alienate her because I think that is what I would do too. Pearl’s behavior kind of exhausted me in a sense reminding of a bipolar person having the really drastic noticeable mood swings too. Obelia’s Pearl’s stepmother also changed her behavior one moment she hates Pearl telling her she wants her out of the house but when Luke actually becomes somebody then has the nerve to tell Pearl that she wants to have some type of relationship with her. It seemed as if everyone has dissociative identity disorders in the story which maybe that is what Ms. Hiatt was trying to portray but it would have been nice if maybe a few characters had this and not almost all the characters in the book were stricken with this mental disease. So what kept me reading the story since I was kind of put off by the hero most of the time, the heroine part of the time and some of the other minor characters? Okay the story was cute and charming. I also just really adored Argos Luke’s noble and faithful dog and his follower Flute I loved his eagerness and beguiling behavior. On the same aspect I was endeared to Hettie Pearl’s Abigail. All three of these were minor characters but were easy to imagine and fully-developed. So that is a good thing about Ms. Hiatt’s story is that despite both the hero’s and heroine’s shortcomings plus their different identities along with most of the minor characters all of them are fully developed and well written. I think Ms. Hiatt intended most of the characters to have all these multiple personalities anyway. After saying all this it sounds as if I didn’t enjoy the story which is untrue. I did like all the different personalities everyone seemed to take and was constantly acting unlike themselves it was fun but made me wonder if anyone was seriously having a mental breakdown from all the play-acting and wanted to maybe at once be able to act like themselves. For this one aspect with everyone play-acting it made the story almost like a regency enjoyable type comedy if they couldn’t understand Shakespearean comedies and needed a simplistic easy version of them then this was a good read for that. Just for this aspect alone I rated the book four stars and will read the more stories and works by Ms. Hiatt for just this alone.
Its hard to imagine a daughter of a Duke being able to roam about the slums of London (and being able to offer first aid to 2 families within the context of the storyline - the Saint is like Robin Hood, steal from the rich give to the poor, Pearl shows she can fit in with that ideal by offering aid the Saint could not), in that respect I did love Pearl, and as a strong woman, I do like my heroines to be Bluestockings, to have a purpose. It seemed at times Pearl was a strong woman, but would slide back and allow her stepmother to control her - that just didnt seem true to her character, but again, I still enjoyed the Regency Read. I also enjoyed getting to know the hero Luke, altho again his background seemed too much to believe - I think it is farfetching to believe the students at Oxford would buy his background hook, line and sinker, could a "nobody" really get into Oxford by stealing the tuition and faking the admission papers? ah, but what does it matter with such a charming thief.
So while there are a few "bumps" in the read I still want to know what will become of the Saint of Seven Dials, will Pearl be able to maintain her Bluestocking ideals and dreams? Will the children in the slums of Seven Dials be able to triumph, will the villains hiding on the fringe of society be found and made to suffer? I'm thinking I'll have to read the next 3 books in the series to find out!
all in all a Rogue's Honor does have flaws, and can be a stand alone read (I'm sure the publishers make sure of this) I'm looking forward to the next book to see how the Saint triumphs... I do love the Regency format, and the happy endings - ever after!
Lady Pearl is anxious to be “ruined” so that her stepmother will stop trying to match her with the men of the ton. And Luke is only too happy to oblige. Mind you, she is the daughter of a duke, but no matter. What the lady wants she gets. Not just ruined but compromised. Though he is of common breeding (he thinks), he manages to blend in with the ton under an assumed name, even lying his way into Oxford, paying for it himself on his ill-gotten gain.
Luke courts her and then rises to find his lost past and become an earl. Of course there is another suitor and Pearl will accept him rather than allow her stepmother to force Luke to wed her. A bit of a merry-go-round ensues.
Fans of Hiatt will, no doubt, enjoy the story. It’s the first in the Seven Dials series.
