Collect All Night With A Rogue (Lords Of Vice, #1) Depicted By Alexandra Hawkins Disseminated As Script
Lothar Braverton, Marquess of Sinclair, aka “Sin” to his friends is having a grand ole time in the dark of the garden, with a lady on her knees in front of him.
That is until he looks up and sees Lady Juliana Ivers sitting in a tree above him, utterly embarrassed she is witnessing this scene, Ironically, Juliana is in the tree because she needed to escape a pursuer who probably had the same thing on his mind, Sin discreetly get his lady friend to disappear, for he is very intrigued by the gorgeous woman who is stuck in the tree, Sin finds many women beautiful he has lived his life using women and discarding them just as easily, He grew with a very cold hearted father and Sin has not had a life where the word love is used,
Sin is not alone in his rakish ways, His friends has created the Lords of Vice club seven members who enjoy women, alcohol and gaming, Sin is accompanied by Reign, Dare, Vane, Frost, Saint and Hunter, The first floor of the house is used as a club for guests and possible new members, Upstairs, the Lords of Vice are able to get away from society and partake in their gambling, drinking and lets not forget women, in private,
Julianas father passed away with many gaming debts and her familys estate got passed down to a distant cousin, Lord Duncombe, Although he has reversed the family fortune, he wants nothing to do with Juliana, her mother and two sisters and they are living at the mercy of him, Julianas mother also has a gambling problem, and when her debts exceed what she can pay and Lord Duncombe refuses to help, her only option is to pawn off her daughter to the highest bidder.
For as cold as Sin is, there is something about Juliana that breaks through to his heart just a bit, There is an attraction that first night that he cannot deny, Juliana has caught the eye of Sins halfsister, Belinda as well, Juliana has a friendship with Lord Kyd, a man Belinda has feelings for, She feels very threatened by this relationship and wants Kyd for herself, Belinda proposes a bet Sin needs to use his charms to seduce Juliana so she will leave Kyds side, full well knowing Sin will toss Juliana to the curb when he so desires.
Sin, being the rogue he is, accepts this challenge, However, when he learns that Juliana may be taken to cover her mothers debt, Sins protectiveness goes on full alert, The ruse of his sisters challenge becomes small compared to his true feelings for Juliana,
All Night With a Rogue is a book that has stuck with me since I read the last page, Alexandra Hawkins does a great job showing us why Sin, is a rogue, He definitely lives up to his name and is one of the more crueler, cold rogues I have read about, Halfway through the book I really doubted that Sin could be redeemed, I tend to lean more towards the colder, broken heroes in historical romances, because I love to see them break free of the ice, Is Sin redeemed Yes, and I will get more into that in a minute, My biggest problem of the book is the author only tells us of the love affair between Sin and Juliana, Oh, we see the romantic encounters, and they are done in good detail, but they are as cold as Sin himself, It is only told to us that Juliana falls in love with him and they have a torrid love affair,
In fact the romance between these two are a little uncomfortable, It always felt like Sin is pushing Juliana to go farther, She is always resistant to his advances, however that does not stop him, Her body wants him, and in the end she is not regretful, but getting there, often she says no, or stop, and he continues until she lets go,
“We should stop, ”
”Perhaps. Though it seems a tad cruel to leave me in this shameful predicament, ” He slowly moved his hips against hers, In spite of her initial pain, her core was wet and accepting of his intrusion,
”Cruel” She glared up at him, “I am cruel”
After a night of passion, where Sin has to persuade Juliana to have sex with him, the very next page states, “Days passed into weeks as Juliana blissfully savored the private joy of being Sins lover.
”
We went from a love scene where Juliana is very unsure of even wanting intercourse with a man, to the next page where they have had this wonderful love affair.
We never get to see the eager, happy side of Juliana in bed with Sin, All we see is the nervous, unsure Juliana,
It is not until the last quarter of the book, where I feel all parties are redeemed, Sin becomes the hero as he is desperate to save Juliana from an awful fate imposed by her own mother, Even her mother is somewhat redeemed, where at first I found her a despicable person, even her sisters were annoying, at the end that annoyance turns to charming banter and had me giggling as they try to help Sin save Juliana.
After a rocky start, I will say All Night with a Rogue turned out to be an enjoyable read, and not only that but Sin and the other Lords of Vice have stuck with me.
I find myself thinking about his character often although I didnt always buy into Julianas love for him, Sin himself is a very intriguing, dark, rake and I think many will find him appealing.
The next book dives into Reigns journey, and I am interested to see where we end up, Many readers don't like this book, Worst, they rate it with onlystar! Instead of losing an interest for this one, it got me curious, And some reviews are quiet mean! While reading this book, I realized that this author is another one who take risk in writing her stories, Some parts of this book is different from other HR novels, FIRST, the unmarried, innocent heroine who is unquestionably a LADY doesn't seem to value her virginity, It's not really about giving her innocence, it was her attitude after that, she even called herself a lover of the hero, She's still young! And the author kind of interchange the word lover with mistress, Well, they did the same thing but as far as I know a mistress is given money in exhange of what she offered, a lover didn't, And they had the nerve to argue about the matter infront of the ton! How scandalous is that, ATLEAST at that time! And there are so many bad people around the hero and heroine.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, the insecure brat of a sister of the hero, Her reason to conduct a revenge is the most groundless reason I've ever heard, And the heroine's mother who sold her to a violent man TWICE, Well, she do love her I wouldn't deny that, But inspite of all the faults in this book, that it turns out good in the end, I'm hoping for something better in the book, terlewatkan

sang kakak meminta sin untuk merayu amp mencemarkan lady julianna yg sudah merebut baron, sorry lupa namanya.
sin pusing juga mendengar permintaan sang kakak,
sin memang penuh skandal amp tidak pernah perduli apapun tp kl untuk mencemarkan seorang lady baikyg masih virgin well itu resikonya sangat besar,
ditengahberpikir harus ataukah tidak menuruti permintaan aneh sang kakak eh sin bertemu dgn lady julianna yg dimaksud amp betapa kagetnya sin karna lady julianna adl gadis yg ketahuan mengintip amp terjepit diantara pepohonan ditaman kediaman countess.
. amp melihat sin berasik masyuk dgn sang tuan rumah,
aq ngakak berat waktu adegan ini, . . ya ampun malu berat ga sih ketahuan jelas begitu :d
julianna sbnrnya ke london bukan untuk mencari suami tp untuk mempublikasikan musiknya namun sejauh ini tidak adapenerbit un yg bersedia.
baron . itulah yg sebenarnya sedang mencoba membantu julianna, . . mereka jd terlihat akrba amp sering bercakap
bagi orang lain terlihat penuh kemesraan pdhl sbnrnya tidak ada apapun diantara mereka,
si baron jatuh cinta pada kakak sin, dasar si kakak itu aja yg kegatelan amp pencemburu berat, . . lagian ngaca kenapa!!!!!
dasar si sin liat jidat mulus dikit lgs gelap mata,
dia memutuskan tertartik pd julianna amp memutuskan untuk merayu julianna,
well, bukan hanya sin yg suka pd julianna tp ternyata frost pun tertarik pd julianna tp dasar frost mana perduli tata krama, asal nyosor aja,
akhirnya malah bentrok terus sama sin,

sbg pengganti pembayaran hutang judinya, . .
ya ampun ibu macam apa itu kok relanya menjual anak gadisnya sendiri
ini bukan hanya dijual sbg seorg istri tp sbg courtesan, . .

mbok ya kirakalo mo ngejual anaknya setidaknya beri posisi yg pantas bagi anaknya ini malah hanya menjadikan anaknya seorang mistress, sedanganak yg lainnya boleh menikah dgn pria baikamp julianna dijadikan korban yg katanya untuk kepentingan keluarga.

poor julianna
