The Rogue of Fifth Avenue

Uptown Girls

De: Joanna Shupe

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

Silver-tongued lawyer.
Keeper of secrets.
Breaker of hearts.

He can solve any problem....

In serving the wealthy power brokers of New York society, Frank Tripp has finally gained the respectability and security his own upbringing lacked. There’s no issue he cannot fix...except for one: the beautiful and reckless daughter of an important client who doesn’t seem to understand the word danger.

She’s not looking for a hero....

Excitement lies just below 42nd Street, and Mamie Greene is determined to explore all of it - while playing a modern-day Robin Hood along the way. What she doesn’t need is her father’s lawyer dogging her every step and threatening her efforts to help struggling families in the tenements.

However, she doesn’t count on Frank’s persistence...or the sparks that fly between them. When fate upends all her plans, Mamie must decide if she’s willing to risk it all on a rogue....

Thoroughly enjoyable

A good plot, good character development and great narration

I’m new to Joanna Shupe but will definitely buy more!

Regency NYC Romance

Too much sex, not enough story. The reader was too breathy and sing songy. I like more action.

Frank & Mamie!

The narration was everything! Justine Eryre is hands down a fantastic story teller! Frank & Mamie story was a great tale! I love the chemistry of the characters, spiciness of the love scenes and overall message of the story. Overall it was great to listen to!

Narrator does terrible accents.

But I love this author and the steamy romance was worth it despite the bad voice acting.

Rogue of 5th Ave.

Great story with great characters. Please write us more great stories for us to enjoy!!

It was ok

Female lead was often annoying...whiny, pouty, and immature at times. Narration was good. Not my favorite book but not the worst.

Awesome book

What more can I say. Joanna Shupe is the best romance author to date. Her romance is so beautiful. Just perfect. Her sexual scenes are breathtaking. Her historical knowledge is awesome. She is my number one go to for historical romance. Justine eyre was never a favorite of mine but she has improved with age. She’s awesome as well So totally worth a credit. Ok let’s get on with book 2. I can’t wait!!!!!

awesome

a really great story. sweet and passionate. loved the narration. her accents are brilliant. thank you ms Shupe and ms Eyre.

Too much use of the f*ck word is distracting

I love these period romance stories that offer a look into the way life was for the families and couples involved back in those times. I feel the best authors not only have a good story as this one does, but tries to keep true to the era. So, to hear the "f*uck and f*ucking" so much instead of any terms that might have been used back then -- especially in the upper classes of society, it causes a hiccup in my enjoyment of the book. It did not seem in keeping with the period or its characters. Aside from that, the story could be a good one. I would have enjoyed it much more if re-edited to remove all those "f" words.

Historical New York, Uptown Girl & Powerful Lawyer

I am an avid historical romance reader, so when I came across Joanna Shupe’s The Rogue of Fifth Avenue, I was instantly intrigued. As a New Yorker (currently living on the West Coast), I loved traveling back in time to the New York of yesterday.

I was so excited, in fact, to start this book that I had simultaneously purchased a paperback copy, the audiobook, and checked the e-book out of the library.

Mamie is a debutante from a wealthy uptown family. She has a big compassionate heart. It is clear she has great love for her sisters and respect for her family. However, she is drawn to the world of New York that she is not supposed to see – the gambling halls, the downtown tenements, the lives of the poor.

It is through this exposure to class inequality that she develops a pertinacity for pick-pocketing the wealthy to supplement the measly incomes of some families she befriends in the tenements. Her compassion is so honorable and makes her a very appealing heroine.

Frank Tripp is Mamie’s father’s high power lawyer. He is well known throughout the city for his hard work for New York’s elite. When the two cross paths, almost everyone can see their chemistry. Mamie’s father forbids her from entering in any relationship with a man besides the one he has arranged for her – as if she is another entity of his business to control.

Mamie is rebellious and likes to do things on her terms, so if she is told not to do something, her heart will want to go there even if she knows it is wrong. She cannot deny her attraction to Frank and he is not willing to give her up either.

But along the way, secrets are exposed and Mamie doesn’t know who she can trust. This was a great read, with high tension and with big stakes and people’s lives on the line.
