Waiting for a Rogue

Reluctant Brides Series, Book 3

De: Marie Tremayne

Narrado por: Danielle Cohen

Lady Caroline Rowe is determined never to marry. After the disastrous end to her last Season, she wants nothing more than to live quietly with her aunt in the country. But her resistance starts to slip when an exasperating new neighbor, The American, begins to invade not just her land, but her life. And, of course, he is the last man who should ever tempt her....

Inheriting an estate across the Atlantic has proven more difficult than Jonathan Cartwick ever expected. Avoiding his infuriating neighbor is tougher still, especially once he finds himself drawn to the ravishing beauty. Living a life he never wanted has been hard enough, but soon he fears losing his sanity, and his heart, to Lady Caroline....

When Caroline's parents threaten to marry her off to the first lord who will take her, she is devastated. And against all odds, Jonathan finds himself wanting to prove to the troublesome minx that he might just be the man she has been waiting for.

Contains mature themes.

The last few chapters dropped the score.

Overall, the story started out well and continued through most of the book. However, the last few chapters seemed very rushed with the author attempting to throw in a steamy scene. The scene took the two main characters from being mature, usually fighting but capable adults to two list filled teens in heat. I also stopped it at that point because of the significant decline in the writing.

It is only my first book by this author. I will try another before deciding if I’ll totally give up.
