this book gets two and a half stars for a strange plot and a disappointing ending. here’s hoping the next rogue book will be much better .
the rogue’s return is probably one of the more stranger romance novels out there with a plot that has to be the most eyebrow - lifting. although the characters are unique, they are a little unsettling at times .
however, the story and romance was enough for me to overlook these few quibbles .
after enjoying the simple romance of the other countess and the queen' s lady, i thought the rogue' s princess would be a worthwhile read. even though it' s not out in the u. s. yet, i was able to find a decently - priced copy on american soil, so i decided i might as well give it a try. the rogue' s princess follows the adventures of mercy hart, the daughter of a rich london merchant, and a man who strictly follows the new puritan religion to the letter. with such a strong religious background, it' s di
it was a good read! really good romance. first love. . heartache. . 2nd chances .
rogue’s honor is neither a bad book nor a good book – it’s just kind of there. the characters are a little lackluster, and the plot is all over the place. every time it’s in any danger of becoming truly interesting, it invariably takes a different, duller turn .

a true rogue, kit won my heart with his player' s heart. he' s flamboyant in his manner of dress and speech, and i would probably laugh at his outrageous outfits if i saw him in person, but i do love a good rogue. one of my favorite literary guys of all time is a rogue from a book set in a historical setting - - george from tamora pierce' s song of the lioness quartet. kit is a gallant hero. he' s kind and brave. no matter what is said of him, he stays true to his heart be it acting on the stage, disci
seven nights in a rogue' s bed is the first book in anna campbell' s sons of sin series. it' s a gothic - esque romance with a beauty and the beast feel, and is a very passionate, very sexy story. from the cover: will a week of seduction... desperate to save her sister' s life, sidonie forsythe has agreed to submit herself to a terrible fate: beyond the foreboding walls of castle craven, a notorious, hideously scarred scoundrel will take her virtue over the course of seven sinful nights. yet instead of a
he’s loved her in his dreams for a hundred years. now he’s finally found her, and he’ll do anything to make her is own…
this is a beautiful and sweet romance story. the main characters are kit and sam. the story involves forgiveness, trust, and love .
i was given this book for a honest review. i love a sweet story. not all romance novels are sweet, it was refreshing to read this book .
rogue' s son by darcy flynn is a book that will draw you in deeper and deeper as you read until you can' t put it down. ms. flynn has given us a book that is well - written and packed it with amazing, lovable characters. kit is struggling to keep her family' s b & b; solvent. sam has opened a lodge on the neighboring ranch but he needs something from kit to open his resort to capacity. their story is full of drama, humor and sizzle. i enjoyed reading rogue' s son and look forward to reading more from darcy flynn in the future. rogue' s son is a complete book, not a cliff - hanger. i voluntarily read a print copy of this book .
i received a copy of this book for an honest review. this is a clean, beautiful, and sweet romance. the book also reflects on forgiveness and not holding grudges ...
originally posted on breath of life reviews can i just say
wow ?
i loved this book, i mean truly loved it. let me start off by saying that i love a hero that is at a disadvantage, whether it be a personality or physical disadvantage like jonas, i love it. too many times in a romance novel it' s the female that is at the disadvantage and needs rescuing from the hero. not so in seven nights in a rogue' s bed, it' s jonas merrick who needs to be rescued. his emotional damage is severe, and on top of t
“we have a week, miss forsythe. time' s winged chariot and all that. ”
eve edwards' lacey chronicles offer up historical romance for a young adult audience. i enjoyed both the previous two novels in the series, and was eager to break into this one. as with the rest of the series, the rogue' s princess is a quick, light, romantic read, full to the brim with love, betrayal, drama, and sumptuous clothing. this series is perfect for fans of light historical romance. though this is a series, each novel stands alone well. there is no need to read all of them or to read th

pile or not. i enjoyed the storyline and the strong characters .
let' s just say that i' ve read a lot more interesting stories than this one .
as with her earlier elizabethan stories (the last countess and the queen' s lady), eve edwards has kept her story deceptively simple and, at heart, rather predictable. kit and mercy are clearly destined to be together and there are no real surprises in store on that count – however, it is the subtly clever roads that edwards leads her characters down that make her stories so completely readable. while it could be argued that the romance in the rogue' s princess is rather rushed, it' s speedy commen

when stephanie laurens wrote devil’s bride, she seemed to take the romance world by storm. lots of people (including myself) loved it. others didn’t, but it seemed like almost everyone read it. by now, most people have formed an opinion on the bar cynster series. if you didn’t care for the preceding books, then you probably won’t think much of a rogue’s proposal, because it is very much like them. but that’s good news for laurens fans, who will be glad to see another hero with a demonic nickname, a heroine with spunk to spare, and laurens’ trademark steamy love scenes .
those who have missed regency trads may well embrace julia justiss’s latest novel. while a slight touch more sensual than many trads, its tone and plotting have much in common with some of the regencies i used to adore. in rogue’s lady, justiss tells the sweet tale of a reforming rake and a musician’s daughter, each trying to find their way into respectable society. though both have very different motives for seeking respectability, they find a common interest that soon deepens into something neither counted on finding .
i thoroughly enjoyed reading about kit and sam. their second chance at love has so many roadblocks it seems they' ll never make it, but this story manages to pull it all together in a believable way. kit' s single - minded devotion to the land makes her a strong and sometimes hard - headed heroine. sam is simply delicious - chivalrous, helpful, and charming. there' s even a conniving villainess in the mix! rogue' s son is a real treat to read .
this series about the lacey brothers is one of my absolute favourites! the books may be set in the past but they feature wonderful characters and stories that literally pulse with life.' the rogue' s princess' follows the laceys' illigitimate half - brother kit turner, a player in the theatre. some what flamboyant and a bit of a loveable rogue with an eye for the ladies, kit becomes a reformed man when he meets the pure and innocent mercy hart, the daughter of a rich cloth merchant. however, kit has
for the most part, this is a cozy romance you can settle into. the world and the characters come alive, though some secondary characters steal the show. an extremely long boat ride helps the romance to come about as jane and simon learn about each other - - sort of, as at this point jancy is still playing jane. as they are on their way back to england, they keep building the romance, and jancy keeps wondering how she is ever going to tell him the truth about who she really is .
ms. flynn has crafted a wonderful romance between kit and sam. kit operates a bed and breakfast but sam refurbishes a lodge nearby that takes her customers away. we are made to feel for kit as she cannot keep operating at a loss. her family and sam' s family have a history that complicates things due to kit and sam' s fathers' choices. it is a story of a woman struggling with material and emotional issues and a man trying to right the wrongs committed in the past. there were times i shed tears and times when i was happy at the events. kit looked into the past at how good things were, this bringing to mind the preious memories of my own. i definitely recommend this novel as a clean and satisfying romance .
he might look like prince charming, but he' s sure to break your heart .
i have not read the other books in the lacey chronicles and was pleased that each works well as a standalone. the rogue’s princess shares the tale of mercy hart and kit tuner. set in 1586, this historical romance beautifully captures the tone of the times and the power of young love. while the tale was predictable the characters themselves were delightful. mercy hart is the daughter of a deeply religious and wealthy cloth merchant. she strives to be pure in the eyes of the lord and to subdue her
a lifetime ago, flynn swore an oath to protect a draken princess with his life. now she’s back from the dead—and wanting him to honor his promise…
this ended up being my least favourite of the books in the lacey series. while these books have always been very light, 16th - cent. romcoms, the rogue' s princess felt insubstantial. i think it was the lack of any compelling stakes. in the other countess, extreme poverty was looming over ellie and in the queen' s lady, jane' s in - laws were literally after her blood, so there were some serious matters to balance all the froth. here, the only prominent threat for most of the novel is mercy' s disapprov
set in elizabethan england, the rogue’s princess continues the lacey chronicles by eve edwards. mercy hart is the sheltered sixteen year old daughter of a pious and wealthy merchant of london. the handsome kit turner is the illegitimate son of the late earl of dorset and a flamboyant actor in the theatre group of london. upon meeting at a dinner party the romantic sparks fly between this unlikely match. innocent and naïve, mercy is torn between obeying her father’s wishes to marry righteous fiel
[ sidonie seems to easily forget the horrible reason she’s there at jonas’s castle and falls for him pretty quickly. as well, there' s a situation where jonas finds out something that has him turning from sidonie. it seems manufactured and somewhat out of character from the man we saw originally. (hide spoiler) ]

i often read adult historical romance, but it wasn' t until i read eve edwards' the other countess, the first in the lacey chronicles that i really liked ya historical romance. i quickly fell in love with edwards' writing, which manages to stay surprisingly true to history while adding a contemporary undertone that seems to alleviate the dryness that can easily dissuade readers (like me) from picking up historically accurate novels. this particular installment of the lacey chronicles focuses on ki
this review was written for the review diaries: urltoken eve edwards elizabethan romance series – how do i love thee? let me count the ways. 1) the research that has gone into these. so often historical romance these days is riddled with modernisms, that make you feel like you’ve just been catapulted back to the twenty first century at a most unfortunate moment. edwards has done so much research it makes my head spin. not only are the clothes and speech spot on, but
when people tell me they have some ya historical fiction for me, i instantly jump for it every time. sadly, a lot of the ya hisfic romance that i read falls into way too many romantic clichés for me to be happy. this one was no different. the main character of this story is a young girl named mercy hart, who is as innocent as a child when it comes to the ways of romance. her love interest is kit turner, an actor with some roguish ways, who also happens to be the illegitimate son of an earl so he
★★★★☆ (this is a review of the audiobook .) you’ve heard the expression, “i could listen to him read the phone book. ” yup? that’s how i felt about antony ferguson’s narration of this romance book. delicious. he has a dreamy, seductive voice. he does a good job with differentiating the characters, and with the female voices. some people complained about his pausing; however, i listened at 1. 5 speed, so i didn’t notice this. did he elevate the story? hmmm. after i got used to that sexy voice, i wou
historical romances are one of my favorite genres, but i never read ya historical romance all that often. so when i saw the rogue princess, i was super excited to get into it and see if i would enjoy it as much as i enjoy the adult version of the genre. mercy is the sixteen - year - old daughter of a very rich, very religious, cloth merchant. growing up in such a strict household, mercy has led a life of respecting god and making it her mission to adhere to her religious laws. kit, however, is quite
it' s funny reading this now, because i read other countess and queen' s lady ages ago, so will, ellie, james and jane are all strangers to me. but now i' ve read this and queen' s lady, other countess seems a bit pathetic, which is funny cos when i read that i loved it. i hope she writes one about tobias, cos he' s my favourite lacey brother. (blushes) i never liked kit before reading this but he' s grown on me, and i don' t really like will. but james and tobias are cool .
i really loved the first two books, the other countess and the queen’s lady, so i fully expected to feel the same way about the rogue’s princess. and i did! of all of the lacey brothers we’ve heard from so far, i think that kit may be my favourite. i thought that it would take a lot to knock kind and gorgeous will of the top spot, but kit, with his flowery and poetic way of speaking. i’m a sucker for a silver tongue! but it was his unwavering dedication to mercy that really got me. even though he
when sidonie forsythe' s sister, roberta cannot pay the gaming debts owing to jonas merrick, sidonie comes up with a plan. she offers herself in payment. jonas merrick is a bastard, and rich. there is no love lost between him and his cousin william, sidonie' s brother - in - law. but jonas proposes a new bargain. if sidonie spends another six nights at the castle with him, jonas will write off her sister' s debts .
defies all logic is exactly the way i' d describe this book as well! i could barely finish this annoying romance between two distinctly unlikeable people. sidonie, the heroine who' s name i had the worst time pronouncing inside my head, was holier than thou at first. but oh how she crumbles completely in the arms of the dastardly hero, jonas merrick, whose scars and tortured past make him hard and cruel. then they have a few blissful days of non stop sex - yet she will not marry him when he asks her! what a nit! of course she has this big secret that he will not forgive her for when he finds out about it. then her sister and this murder! all were beyond me, i was fed up 1 / 2 way through but persevered and finished this romance! i' m not sure if i will read more by this author since it' s my first book by her, but this had all the elements of what i dislike in a romance, i' m afraid. 2. 5 / 5
the rogue' s princess is the latest in eve edward' s tudor series. each book focuses on a different brother of lacey family, this one in particular focusing on the illegitimate half brother kit turner. i am pleased to say that this instalment is as good as the other two in the series and i already have a new lacey brother to swoon over in kit. he is just as gorgeous as the brothers in the previous two books so be prepared to fall in love all over again. the main storyline follows kit as he tries to
the dialogue sparkles with humor and sexual tension. there is a delightfully funny scene in which felicity tries to get demon to explain exactly why he wants to marry her, and her questions lead her to ask about sexual desire. laurens fans have come to expect hot, detailed love scenes, and a rogue’s proposal doesn’t disappoint in this arena either. laurens handles the sexual tension masterfully, building it to a fever pitch that culminates when felicity and demon finally consummate their relationship .
its a nice cute and people who like clean romance will love it. sam and kit are both likable characters, the plot is nice. darcy flynn did a good job with this one. but her first one keeper of my heart is still my fav :) i would love to read her again and soon: )
england, 1586 mercy hart, daughter of one of london' s wealthiest and most devout cloth merchants, is expected to marry her equal in rank and piety. certainly not kit turner, a lowly actor and playboy, who also happens to be the late earl of dorset' s illegitimate son. but when a chance encounter throws them together, kit instantly falls for the beautiful mercy' s charms... and mercy can' t deny the passion that kit stirs within her. she seems ready to defy her father' s wishes - - ready to renounce h
it turns out that the “man” is felicity parteger, the ward of demon’s mentor, a man known as the general. felicity has a good reason for her duplicity; the general’s son has become involved in a race - fixing scheme. he is in way over his head, and has had to go into hiding because his life is in danger. he has no idea who else is part of the scheme, and felicity has taken the job at demon’s stables in hopes that she may overhear someone trying to bribe a jockey .

pearl learns much about life among the lowly while she’s staying with luke, but she returns home fairly quickly. luke worries about her, so he pops up in another guise, that of lucio di santo, relative of a mysterious italian count. here is where the plot just starts going all over the map. luke’s a thief, then he’s not, then he’s looking for gainful employment, and then boom! luke finds out about his parents’ identity and is in for a major life change. meanwhile, we have pearl’s stepmother breathing down her neck and forcing her engagement to another man, and a vengeful relative who is out to get luke. there’s more, too; luke’s valet and sometime partner in crime is helping him out but sought by the authorities, and he gets in trouble. then there are the little misunderstandings between pearl and luke (does he / she really love me, or is he / she just faking it? what did he / she mean by that remark? and so forth). after fumbling their way through many of the plot devices in the kitchen sink (did i mention there’s a duel and a fake ghost ?), luke and pearl emerge at the end, victorious, rich, and in love .
around this time last year, a vodka company approached me, asking if i would create a cocktail that would be appropriate to hoist in honor of the wedding of britain' s prince william and kate middleton .
this is a joint review with my review partner may. may: when mandi told me she heard of a book coming out that just screamed “this is a may kind of book” i was intrigued and picked it up as soon as i could. seven nights in a rogue’s bed plays on the beauty and the beast trope, but is at the same time its own unique and memorable story. merrick wants revenge upon his cousin more than anything else. luckily, revenge is easy for him to find not only by being incredibly wealthy and successful (while h
this book coasted solidly through b + / b territory most of the way, but a plot twist near the end nearly derailed things for me. this little twist is … how to put this delicately? … one of the more ridiculous i’ve read in a while. still, even with that unnecessary turn of events, rogue’s lady entertained me more than i expected. for that, i cannot help giving it a recommendation, albeit a qualified one. fans of regency trads or even of the regency time period in general may want to check this one out .
while i won’t give away the secret of luke’s family, i will say that it didn’t really make sense. we are told early on that his mother was forced to do all kinds of demeaning, difficult work for members of the upper classes, hence luke’s resentment of the nobility. but when we find out the true identity of luke’s parents (and let’s face it, you can pretty much see it coming a mile away), it makes no sense that his mother would have been so friendless or at the mercy of an evil userper. where were her relatives in all of this ?
a human trapped in the world of faerie, in possession of magic i could not control, i made a bargain for my life: to let the dangerously sensual fae noble known as rogue sire my firstborn. and one does not break an oath with a fae. but no matter how greatly i desire him, i will not succumb. not until i know what will happen to the child .
the characters have a tepid relationship which blossoms, and some hot romantic scenes feel forced. the characters step out of themselves for odd comments about lightning feelings for each other that seem too out of place, almost ludicrous. you feel a little awkward even reading it at these times, but when it cools down back to the soft romance, it feels like it should .
i recommend that you use a high - proof, juniper - forward, london - dry gin in this one. i' m thinking beefeater, junipero or tanqueray. you need a gin that' s very sure of itself .
when sidonie forsythe' s sister, roberta cannot pay the gaming debts owing to jonas merrick, sidonie comes up with a plan. she offers herself in payment. jonas merrick is a bastard, and rich. there is no love lost between him and his cousin william, sidonie' s brother - in - law. but jonas proposes a new bargain. if sidonie spends another six nights at the castle with him, jonas will write off her sister' s debts. the opening scene as the heroine arrives at the forbidding castle craven on the south devo
it started well. it ended well. the middle was shitty historical (ish) porn. that' s about all i have to say .
though it’s fourth in a series, for the most part this book can stand alone. many of the characters from earlier books make an appearance, but they aren’t essential to the plot. there are a lot of them, however, and i’m sure it’s easier to keep them straight if you have met them all before. if you have met them all before, you will undoubtedly enjoy seeing them again. and again and again – there are still two more bar cynster books yet to come. for many of us, that’s good news .

i had thought jonas was going to be a dark, sinister lord - of - the - gothic - manor type. he' s a bit of a loner in an out - of - the - way mansion. he is reputedly ruthless and has a scarred, unattractive face. but i thought he was a nice guy and not particularly scary or mean. he was sensitive, kind and understanding .
the plot devices are interesting enough, but the reactions at the end lack a certain something special. some awkward moments makes you wish veteran author jo beverley had left it as a simple soft romance given how the characters are portrayed. beverly is a wonderful writer; her previous books were very much enjoyable but this one comes up lacking. perhaps it is just too unbelievable at times, like she is trying to outdo her previous books by bringing in something outrageous .
one of the things i like about these books is that while each of them largely revolves around the main female character, it' s the boys who link the stories together. in the previous books, we' ve seen will, the young earl of dorset fall in love with a girl of no fortune and his brother, james, fall for the lady will was suppose to marry. this time it' s their half - brother kit' s turn to fall in love with the' wrong' girl. mercy comes from a strictly religious background which she takes to another le
allegra’s only hope arrives in the form of her cousin rob lynton, heir to the title. once the white knight of allegra’s childhood imagination, he soon reclaims that role in her life by rescuing her from his evil stepmother and announcing that his father left her a small dowry. with this modest sum, allegra can be presented in society and hopefully make a good enough marriage to secure her future. though allegra’s parentage may raise some eyebrows, she has a respectable patron and, therefore, still has hope. indeed, allegra herself hopes that while she attends the events of fashionable society, rob lynton himself will take an interest in her .
the writing as you' d expect from anna campbell is polished and smooth. in the first half the romance was lovely with two likable leads. and the sexy times were steamy and delicious. we meet two more bastards - cam rothermere and richard harmsworth - whom i' m guessing will be the heroes in following books .
valentine' s day is just around the corner, and as i was looking over my recipe file a couple of weeks ago, searching for a drink suitable to suggest as a love potion of sorts, i happened upon the royal wedding cocktail. perhaps i' ll take another look at this drink, i thought .

seven nights in a rogue' s bed
es original, muy romántica y muy sensual. me ha sorprendido y me ha enamorado, la tensión entre jonas y sidone es... he leído la novela en inglés, pero está traducida al español. mi única queja es que el final, aunque precioso, debería de ser más largo (o a mí me habría gustado que lo fuera), es un poco precipitado .
* * * 4. 5 stars * * * holy shamoly that was hard work. bloody brilliant, but seriously full of feelings that i got to nearly the last page before everything was settled. seven nights in a rogue' s bed is the story of sidonie and jonas. sidonie is the twenty - four year old virgin spinster sent as sacrifice to pay the debt of her beloved (bitch) sister roberta to jonas merrick, bastard by name and bastard by action. i' m not going to go over the full details of this story, but i will say that everything is n
most of the time, i neither liked nor disliked these characters. i couldn’t get into the story enough to really have an opinion about them. like the book they are neither terrible or spectacular – they are okay. my only real problem with them came at the end, when they treated pearl’s fiancé in a shabby manner. the fiancé wasn’t a bad person, but he was in their way, so both of them treated him horribly. pearl more or less gets engaged to him on a whim, and proceeds to abuse him because he’s not luke .
lady pearl moreston, daughter of a duke, is worried that her step - mother will coerce her into marriage. while pearl has no objection to the married state, she would prefer to wait until her twenty - first birthday has passed so she can inherit one of her father’s small estates. pearl decides to hide for awhile when her father is out of town. she will disguise herself as a maid in another household, thus avoiding her stepmother’s clutches and learning more about life with the lower classes. when her plan goes awry, she is rescued by luke st. clair, the notorious “saint of seven dials. ” he’s a robin hood - like figure who steals baubles from ton households so he can aid the struggling denizens of seven dials .
this book excels on many fronts. stephanie laurens generally has her heroes pursue the heroine relentlessly, and demon is no exception. he realizes that he wants to marry felicity early on, and he never waivers in his devotion. parts of this plot may have a familiar ring, but it’s a ring i like to hear – so much better than a plot brimming with countless misunderstandings .

hope tarr has changed my views on historical romance. in the past i have often avoided purchase of such books for light reading. often, the plot line involved abusive behavior towards weak, insipid women. this trend really turned me off of that type of reading. however, when hope wrote her novel i was fortunate and privileged enough to have met and befriended her. therefore, of course, i read it as soon as my copy arrived! once i started i couldn' t put it down. i was teased by my employees as i finished the novel one night at work. anyone, that has a romantic bone in their body will be captivated by chelsea and anthony' s story. those who are seeking more substance to the characters will be pleased and surprised by hope' s creation of two very

people. congratulations hope on a wonderful first novel. can' t wait to read the next one !

when there are this many plot irons in the fire, some of them are bound to work, and rogue’s honor has some good moments. as the title suggests, luke has to do some thinking about just what honor means. he begins the book with a huge chip on his shoulder, and has no qualms about stealing from the wealthy to help the poor. at first i thought he would spend the whole book thinking “poor equals good and deserving, wealthy equals bad. ” the people he helps in seven dials are all the struggling but worthy penurious type, and he operates on the assumption that all of them have more right to money than the rich do. this can be a difficult position to defend; maybe the people he is stealing from aren’t perfect, but what right does he have to take their stuff? surprisingly, luke starts to think about these issues. he even decides to get a real job instead of stealing. unfortunately, before he really has to think too hard, or make any really difficult choices, he gets to inherit a pile of money, and the plot careens off into no man’s land again .
jane otterburn and simon st. bride live in the same world but not in the same class. once they come together, there is a deadly duel simon must face, and he is honor - bound to marry in an unlikely arrangement. but what is really strange is that “jane” isn’t really jane at all. she is really jancy, jane’s illegitimate cousin. now this deception is supposed to be the main plot for this novel. but at story’s end, simon hardly reacts to its revelation. because it is the major plot point throughout the book, shouldn’t there be a little bit more to it ?
the opening scene as the heroine arrives at the forbidding castle craven on the south devon coast is fantastic, evocative. after that wonderful, initial scene the gothic atmosphere loses some of its momentum, swallowed up in the romance and love scenes for the longest time. however, it was the second half of the book that the story really came alive for me and i enjoyed immensely. there was way more happening with the focus no longer on just jonas and sidonie .
this book is the third in the lacey chronicles by eve edwards. it follows along after the other countess and the queen’s lady, this time focusing on the illegitimate son of the late earl of dorset (the first two followed his sons will and james). the book starts off with an earthquake which causes mercy to believe it is her fault because she wasn’t really listening to her father’s prayers. it seems silly, but she is ten at the time and is from a god - fearing family. i am not too fond of books that

when i saw that anna campbell had a new historical romance out i absolutely knew i had to request it. i was not wrong, not in the least. the book is written very much in the tradition of claiming the courtesan and untouched. in fact, as soon as i figured that out, i could pretty much tell where the story was going and just about how it was going to unfold. i was also right about all that. even so, what kept me tethered to the story were the same things that kept me very invested in those two oth
