Resumen del Editor

Continuing her best-selling Rogue Files series, Sophie Jordan brews up a scintillating romance about a timid wallflower who discovers a love potion and ends up falling for a dashing rogue.

A love potion....

Charlotte Langley has always been the prudent middle sister, so her family is not surprised when she makes the safe choice and agrees to wed her childhood sweetheart. But when she finds herself under the weather and drinks a "healing" tonic, the potion provokes the most maddening desire...for someone other than her betrothed.

With the power....

Kingston's rakehell ways are going to destroy him, and he's vowed to change. His stepbrother's remote estate is just the place for a reformed rogue to hide. The last thing he wants is to be surrounded by society, but when he gets stuck alone with a wallflower who is already betrothed...and she astonishes him with a fiery kiss, he forgets all about hiding.

To alter two destinies.

Although Charlotte appears meek, Kingston soon discovers there's a vixen inside yearning to break free. Unable to forget their illicit moment of passion, Kingston vows to relive the encounter, but Charlotte has sworn it will never happen again - no matter how earth-shattering it was. But will a devilish rogue tempt her to risk everything for a chance at true love?

Predictable and Satisfying

If you want a classic rich girl, poor boy romance this is it. It's not a deep, complex story at all.

Good but not as good as Book 1

I did love Nora's aphrodisiac potion and what it did to her sister. Story was okay but not as good as Book one.

Skip this one

I kept listening to see if it got better. It doesn’t. The book is dull and the narrator makes everyone sound old.

Difficult to finish

Characters not well developed, female protagonist was a pain in the a$$, there was no initial relationship development between the male and female lead as to why the man would pursue someone that constantly rebuffs him and is betrothed to another. I don’t know why some romance writers take the angst between characters throughout the whole story and think any kind of romantic sexual relationship is possible.

Confusing

The story was all over the place. The characters were superficial and their behavior predictable. However the sisters were funny and clearly adored each other so I became somewhat invested in their futures and kept listening. The narration made it nearly impossible to stick with the audio book. The narrator sounded inexperienced and failed to provide a nuanced performance by not expressing appropriate emotion. The leading man sounded like a much older sickly gentleman rather than a rogue. Unfortunately I can’t recommend this book but the author has potential so I may try another book by Ms. Jordan.
