Can this tomcat finally give up his ways and fall in love
I did not like the hero, I know the title says he's a rogue, and to give him credit he did not cheat despite threatening repeatedly to do so but honestly he was very unlikable.
Constantly suspicious, and falsely charming, all he did was seduce the heroine, verbally berate her and be involved in his own world not caring for her feelings/disposition at all.
The heroine on the other hand had moments of courage, but usually she was easily seduced and a putty in the hero's soiled hands, Their story was much more bearable once they got married, even then we get to see the "Realization" at exactlymark, and by then it was too late for me to even like the hero.

The ending was unsatisfying with no groveling, quick resolution and easy seduction,
Meh.
SWE safe after marriage, Not said if he kissed/slept with other women after meeting h and before marriage though

P. S. Him making a mockery about the baby situation was so stupid, Gah! I absolutely loved the heroine, I loved how innocent she was but not stupid, That she learned from her errors and stood up for herself, She was magnificent.

I liked the hero as well, thought him amazing until he turned out to be so dense I wanted to hit him, He mistrusted many things and believed only in his opinion, he was stubborn to the point of being stupid, But I loved the fact that even after everything the hero did, the heroine was mature enough for the both of them,

Here we see an awesome family members relationship, specially from mother to daughter and mother to son, The interactions were very well described and entertaining,

One thing I have to say is that I originally started reading this series because I was interested in this book specifically and to fully understand I thought had to read the whole series, but that was not the case at all.
You will be able to understand everything even when you see some characters from previous books,

This book has the lowest rate in the series, but in my opinion it is the best, A crudely stitched patchwork of mismatched pieces,

The arrival of Rebecca Marshall at Buckingham Palace as a new maid of honor and the details of personal and political intrigues at the court of Queen Victoria were refreshingly different, but as the narrative rushed nowhere and finally disintegrated, I was left wondering about the authenticity of the historical detail.


First impressions of Rebecca are

of a beautiful, intelligent, and selfassured lady, sparking anticipation of her part in the story, The first of many wrong notes is struck by her adolescent infatuation with the handsome 'rogue' Rupert, and the startling speed with which she gives up her virginity and achieves instant orgasm.
Rupert St John is supposed to be some kind of government intelligence agent, but the background to this is not developed, and we're left with an almost psychotic lothario who apparently hangs around society venues collecting information for his sexually ambiguous handler.


Rebecca becomes pregnant and her attempt to confront Rupert with her predicament only gets her caught up in a chase across France to visit a Englishman who is suspected of smuggling arms.


Rupert doesn't believe Rebecca is pregnant, squabbles and spats ensue, families get involved, undying love is declared, but nothing can compensate for the fundamental weakness in characterisation and lack of control over the structure of the narrative.


Did not Like this one at all, and I am A HUGE fan of Her Work, To me this one Had too many negatives for me to Even attempt to read it all the way through, I made it half way through if that, . . and that was Pushing it,
The Main Male Character Was Extremely Unlikable IMO, One of his first encounters With the Main Female, he grabs her breasts, Big turn off, and he was Way to Cocky and full of himself for me to even attempt to like him,
The Female in the book seemed Like she was mentally too young, School Girlish and to me didn't seem appreciative of the situation she was in,
There seemed Like there was More talk on the Queen, her ladies in waiting, servants and such then anything, Very Little on each page seemed to pertain to the actual love story, I found myself Skipping over half of the paragraphs on each page out of Sheer Boredom,

Nigel, a Side Character Was a Huge turn off for the book as it basically described him as a pedophile against young boys, . . No thanks.

So for me this was NOT a book I finished nor will I attempt to read again,
I am sure many will love this book, but just wanted to give my honest review, PRIMERA LECTURA/Esta historia no trata un amor a primera vista, sino que nos mostrará una serie de sucesos misteriosos en los que ambos protagonistas se verán envueltos, hasta el final no sabremos de que trata todo eso y justo es eso lo que te hace querer seguir leyendo la trama.


Nuevamente he encontrado un libro de sobresaliente de romance histórico, lo cierto es que no sabía muy bien que esperar, pero finalmente me ha aportado esa originalidad que siempre busco y la historia de amor perfecta con la que soñar.

RELECTURA/Una lectura que amé la primera vez que la leí y el releerla no ha sido lo que esperaba pues tenía altas expectativas que no he visto cumplidas, supongo que lo idealicé así que hubiese sido mejor no releerlo después de todo.

Really, this book should be called "A Rogue! Of My Own!" ! !!!! JL loves her some exclamations, DC prefers to not see them,

I keep doing this, I pick up a JL book, thinking it sounds interesting, And it always does. And then I read it, And it stops being interesting after the first chapter, Even worse is when I'm rereading a JL book because I didn't recognize it at first, Clearly, she has staying power in my mind,

This book was full of "you're lying to me because I'm a spy and I can't trust anyone" and "you're so charming and handsome, why can't I stay mad at you" to reach a unsatisfactory ending.
JL is definitely on my "don't bother" list, I usually end up almost chucking her books against the wall, but persevere to finish, Barely. .
