The incomparable Katharine Ashe kicks off her new Devil's Duke series in most stylish fashion: the title character, Saint, THE ROGUE, is simply magnificent and definitely my most favourite character in all of Ms. Ashe's books. Saint is honourable, with a good heart, and the embodiment of dashing. Constance is as independent a woman as the Regency era allowed; as engaging as she is, it's when some of her past is revealed that she becomes even more so. Ms. Ashe has crafted a most intriguing story, and Constance and Saint's romance is rather unusual. They are quite different to what we are used to when considering historical romance pairings; saying more would spoil the fun. After a somewhat languorous beginning, which takes place six years prior to story at hand, the plot thickens and the pace hastens as startling revelations are made, innumerable secrets are revealed, and stunning plot twist will keep you on the edge of your seat, turning the pages frantically. Not to mention the enthralling fencing sequences; who would have guessed that the elegant sport could be so sexy!
Katharine Ashe will never cease to awe with the inventiveness that defines her literary contribution, neither will her dazzling mastery of the English language and unsurpassed eloquence, and THE ROGUE confirms it all.
Book Summary
Lady Constance Read is independent, beautiful, and in need of a husband—now. The last man on earth she wants is the rogue who broke her heart six years ago, never mind that his kisses are scorching hot . . .
Evan Saint-André Sterling is rich, scarred, and finished with women—forever. He's not about to lose his head over the bewitching beauty who once turned his life upside down.
But Constance needs a warrior, and Saint is the perfect man for the job. Only as a married woman can she penetrate Scotland's most notorious secret society and bring a diabolical duke to justice. When Constance and Saint become allies—and passionate lovers—he'll risk everything to protect the only woman he has ever loved.
