Fresh Fiction Review

In Bed with a Rogue
Samantha Grace

Reviewed by Miranda Owen

Romance Historical

IN BED WITH A ROGUE is Book two in Samantha Grace's Rival Rogues series. I don't think that it's absolutely necessary to read the previous book in order to enjoy IN BED WITH A ROGUE, but reading the first book in the series does give you a slightly better understanding of Baron Sebastian Thorne. I am so happy Samantha Grace gave Sebastian his own story. I completely fell for him in the previous book. Sebastian is my favorite type of hero -- the appearance of bad boy sexiness but with a loyal and caring heart. In this story, Sebastian meets a woman who is similar to him in many ways. For me, the importance of family is central to the plot of IN BED WITH A ROGUE. I love that Sebastian and Helena are so similar in their values and way of thinking about family and loyalty. Sebastian will do anything for his sister Eve and is fiercely protective of her and his mother. Likewise, Helena is extremely loyal to her long-lost sisters and is unwavering in her quest to find and protect them. This similarity between them, added to the fact that they are both such textured characters, makes their romance more believable and enjoyable. One thing I really enjoyed about IN BED WITH A ROGUE is that there is never really any conflict between Sebastian and Helena. The conflict and a lot of the drama come from Helena's search for her siblings and, to a lesser extent, the nastiness from Sebastian's former flame. Helena's history with her first husband is fully explored and helps the reader understand how that colored her view of marriage and relationships. I liked that she and Sebastian both work as a team to find her siblings. I love how supportive they are of each other. Helena's defense of Sebastian and the way he was so touched by it makes for a very sweet scene. The chemistry between them is incredible and fun to read about. IN BED WITH A ROGUE is a story full of powerful emotions, great characters, and a sexy romance. I love that Samantha Grace showed how Helena and Sebastian developed intimacy - - physical intimacy as well as emotional. I look forward to future stories in this series -- especially Eve's.
