Once a Laird

Once a Laird


Rogues Redeemed, Book 6

by Mary Jo Putney


⭐⭐⭐/5


The final rogue is redeemed in the last book of the Rogues Redeemed series, Once a Laird by Mary Jo Putney.


I have been reading this series for what seems like a long time, since this was a follow up series to the Lost Lords … The Lost Lords ran for 7 books and Rogues Redeemed has finished on a 6th book. That’s a lot!


This last story tells tells Ramsey’s redemption as he finally returns to his Scottish home to take up the mantle of Laird… he has been away for many years traveling the world since his fiancée passed… now he is home making amends and finding himself very attracted to the woman his deceased fiancée’s sister has grown into. Together they take on tackle the former Lairds debts and see if there is a way for them to find happiness together.


This book felt slow going to me as the main characters explored the archeological sites… their slow burn romance and the re-familiarizing of the Laird with his people and responsibilities didn’t capture my interest too much…


I did enjoy getting a glimpse of all the Rogues reunited together for the first time since their imprisonment together during the Napoleonic War. I do wish that the reunion was a larger part of the story though.



Once a Laird by Mary Jo Putney was release October 26th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books and Zebra Romance through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
