Katharine Ashe has written a heartfelt conclusion to the
Prince Catcher series. I LOVED A ROGUE features the
characters of Eleanor Caulfield and Taliesin Wolfe. This
is
the story that I have waited to read and its fabulous!
The story centers on the Caulfield sisters, Eleanor,
Arabella and Ravenna who were found by fisherman after a
shipwreck. The sisters were sent to a workhouse until they
were adopted by Vicar Martin Caulfield. They believe in a
gypsy fortune which states that one of the sisters must
marry a Prince if they are to learn their parent's names.
Arabella and Ravenna are married leaving Eleanor to solve
the mystery. The sisters are reunited with their childhood
friend Taliesin Wolfe at Martin Caulfield's wedding.
Taliesin agrees to accompany Eleanor on her journey.
I love a well written, emotional, well -paced second
chance
at romance novel. Katharine Ashe's lyrical prose draws you
into Eleanor and Taliesin's story. Their love story is
complicated , emotional and rewarding. Throughout I LOVED
A ROGUE, the couple misunderstands each other's actions
and
motives. Their love for each other is strong but they have
to overcome past events, solve the Prince Catchers riddle
and recognize and trust their true feelings for each
other.
The characters in I LOVED A ROGUE are beautifully written.
Both
the primary and secondary characters contributed to the
storyline and add to the suspense aspect of the novel. I
loved reading the interactions between the Caulfield
sisters: Arabella , Ravenna and Eleanor. Katharine Ashe
crafts great sisters in this series. Each sister and their
story is unique. The bond between the sisters is very
strong and is at the heart of each novel. I enjoyed
learning more about Vicar Caulfield, meeting Robin Prince,
his sisters and Taliesin's friend, Evan Saint.
Ms. Ashe weaves several historical elements into the
storyline. These elements give authenticity to the story
and add to it's suspense. Talieson named his horse Tristan
and Ellie's mare was Iseult. I loved the references to the
medieval Princess and the Knight who loved her which
appear
through the novel. Throughout I LOVED A ROGUE the reader
is aware
of the difference between the social classes and the
prejudice towards the lower class and gypsies. This theme
is important as Taliesin must make an important decision
which effects his relationship with Eleanor. I enjoyed how
this piece of the storyline played out and how each of the
main and secondary characters reacted to the situation.
I LOVED A ROGUE is a beautifully written story which will
take the reader on an emotional and satisfying journey. I
was swept away into the character's adventure and read the
book in three sittings I enjoyed every word written by
Katharine Ashe. The resolution of I LOVED A ROGUE was very
satisfying and rewarding.
SUMMARY
In the third in Katharine Ashe's Prince Catchers series,
the eldest of
three very different sisters must fulfill a prophecy to
discover their
birthright. But if Eleanor is destined to marry a prince,
why can't
she resist the scoundrel who seduced her? She can pour tea, manage a household, and sew a modest
gown. In short,
Eleanor Caulfield is the perfect vicar's daughter. Yet
there was a
time when she'd risked everything for a black-eyed gypsy
who left her
brokenhearted. Now he stands before her—dark, virile, and
ready to
escort her on a journey to find the truth about her
heritage. Leaving eleven years ago should have given Taliesin
freedom. Instead
he's returned to Eleanor, determined to have her all to
himself,
tempting her with kisses and promising her a passion
she's so long
denied herself. But if he was infatuated before, he's
utterly
unprepared for what will happen when Eleanor decides to
abandon
convention—and truly live . . .
