The cover of author Christi Caldwell's THE LOVE OF A ROGUE
is gorgeous! I admit that the cover piqued my interest to
read the most recent in the author's Heart of A
Duke
series. And I am pleased to report that I thoroughly
enjoyed this sensuous love story between Lady Imogen and
Lord Alex!
Betrayed by her younger sister and humiliated by her
former
fiancé , Lady Imogen Moore has retreated from polite
society. She has decided to abandon her desire for a love
match until her friend Chloe Edgerton gifts Imogen with a
special pendant. Chloe tells Imogen that the heart
shaped
locket will help her find her true love. Chloe convinces
Imogen to come out of hiding by suggesting a shopping trip
or an evening at the theater. When Imogen protests, Chloe
mentions that no one will gossip about Imogen because
Chloe's brother, the Marquess of Waverly will accompany
them.
Lord Alexander Edgerton is an unlikely choice for a
chaperone. He is a scandalous rogue who is much more
comfortable gambling and drinking with his friends than
escorting Chloe on shopping expeditions and to the
theater. Alex is upset that his brother, the Marquess of
Waverly has decided that Alex must earn his allowance this
season and is not too amused when Chloe insists that
Imogen
be included as well.
Christi Caldwell has crafted an emotional story of love
and
loss in this beautifully written novella. The main
characters are multi-faceted and the storyline is well
paced. I understood Imogen's feelings of betrayal and
humiliation and felt deeply for Lord Alex. I wanted Alex
to
move forward and take a chance on love. And I loved Chloe
as she had her best friend's interests at heart when she
gave Imogen the gold pendant.
Will Imogen's mother insist she marry for a title and
money
instead of for love? Will Alex trust in his feelings for
Imogen before it's too late? Spend an afternoon reading
THE LOVE OF A ROGUE and all will be revealed.
Lady Imogen Moore hasn’t had an easy time of it since she
made her Come Out three Seasons ago. With her betrothed, a
powerful duke breaking it off to wed her sister, she’s
become the tons favorite piece of gossip. Never again
wanting to experience the pain of a broken heart, she’s
resolved to make a match with a polite, respectable
gentleman. The last thing she wants is another reckless rogue.
Lord Alex Edgerton has a problem. His brother, tired of
Alex’s carousing has charged him with chaperoning their
remaining, unwed sister about ton events. Shopping? No,
thank you. Attending the theatre? He’d rather be at
Forbidden Pleasures with a scantily clad beauty upon his
lap. The task of chaperone becomes even more of a bother
when his sister drags along her dearest friend, Lady Imogen
to social functions. The last thing he wants in his life is
a young, innocent English miss.
Except, as Alex and Imogen are thrown together, passions
flare and Alex comes to find he not only wants Imogen in his
bed, but also in his heart. Yet now he must convince Imogen
to risk all, on the heart of a rogue.
I totally agree. I only recently was introduced to Christi Caldwell, and I LOVE her! The Love of a Rogue was no exception. I just loved Lady Imogen Moore and Lord Alex Edgerton. I can't wait for The Heart of a Duke coming in May! :-) (Brand Morrison 11:37am April 26, 2015)
