Road Trip with a Rogue (Her Majesty’s Rebels, #3) by Kate Bateman

Pub date - 7/29/25

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

I love Kate Bateman’s writing and Her Majesty’s Rebels has been a series that I’ve really enjoyed so I was excited to read Road Trip with a Rogue.

It took me a good while to get into this one as I had a couple of issues almost immediately -

*I despised Lucien (MMC)

*road trips aren’t a favorite trope of mine

But I kept at this and by the 60% point, I was much more interested.

*enemies to lovers

*road trip

*forced proximity

*one bed

*miscommunication

I’ve read all the titles in this series and you could read this one as a standalone, but you’d be missing out.

**(also, in the very first chapter put Adam Ant’s Stand and Deliver in my head and I needed to listen to it before I could read any further.)

How to Fall for a Scoundrel (Her Majesty’s Rebels, #2) by Kate Bateman 

US pub date - 8/20/24

He’s a reformed thief, she co-runs a detective agency. They meet due to him kissing her, and it just gets better from there. 

I absolutely adored Harry, and together he and Eleanor “Ellie” were terrific. 

It was lovely to read them coming together, Ellie letting go of her preconceived notions, as the two fall for each other. Swoon and sigh. 

I loved How to Fall for a Scoundrel and tried my best to not read it too quickly because I wanted to savor the storyline. 

This was my fourth time reading the author’s work and I’m definitely a fan ❤️ Kate Bateman writes engaging stories that are both highly enjoyable and fun to read. 

You could read this as a stand-alone, but you’d be missing out. Recommended series (and author)!
