Gentle Rogue

Summary: Makes You Feel It
Review: This is a fantastic book. By all means it is one of her best. As most of us women readers know that when we read a book about a romance the characters have to stand out to us. We have to think the man is incredibly handsome, and that the woman can resist him if she must.In this book the character James Malory will nearly make you melt. His sensual dialogue will keep you reading just so you can hear what sexy idea he is going to spout next. Him and Georgina make the perfect couple. She is sassy and totally in control,(or so she thinks) and he is completely domineering and concieted. He is against marriage she is against all things english. Has he found the woman to make him contimplate marrige? And has she found that being English doesn't matter, that just meeting a gorgeous man does? Read the book you will enjoy it.

Summary: Oh, James!
Review: "Gentle Rogue" is the third in the Malory Family series, following "Love Only Once" (about Regina) and "Tender Rebel" (about Anthony); it's probably the best of the series, though I'm not going to admit that because I love Anthony the most. "Gentle" follows the exploits of big, blond James, the "dangerous" uncle - also, a retired gentleman pirate who was once disowned from the family. It actually begins with a few scenes taken word-for-word from "Tender Rebel," though fleshes them out with Georgina's story, explaining why James meets her for the first time in a tavern, disguised as a boy. Georgina keeps the ruse aboard James' ship as it sails from England to Jamaica, where she works as a cabin boy. This is when the fun really begins! Georgina trying her hardest to remember she is a boy is hysterical, especially since she doesn't know that James knows she's a girl. I love the banter between these two, as well as the burning passion. Then we're introduced to Georgina's five protective older brothers, who hate all things English - including James. Not only do they add hilarity and action to the story, but Lindsey also sets up the fourth Malory novel, "The Magic of You," featuring coldhearted, hot-tempered Warren, the brother determined to see that pirate James hang. Overall, "Gentle Rogue" is an exciting, endearing story with lots of wit, unforgettable characters, and plenty of memorable scenes. It's a definite must-read!

Summary: A tidal wave of passion . . .
Review: Unlike most fans of Ms. Lindsey's Malory saga, I did not fall in love with James Malory in the first two books of the series. I found him rude, contemptuous and downright unlikable. In fact, it boggled my mind to see all the people who absolutely adored him, when I was hard-pressed to make myself read any scene that included him. However, all of that changed with his story in _Gentle Rogue_.

James Malory, the black-sheep of the much loved Malory family, is a cynical, world-weary ex-pirate. He's vowed, more than once, to never marry or even allow a woman to mean anything to him. He's more than happy to spend his life jumping from one paramour to the next and never having to commit his heart into any relationship outside of his own family. Much of his trepidation comes from seeing so many ladies of his acquaintance be unfaithful to their husbands (it's beside the point, he thinks, that those ladies were unfaithful with him). He figures, if he never takes the proverbial plunge, he'll never have to live through having someone be unfaithful to him.

Georgina Anderson, an American heiress, pledged her heart to a boy when she was barely sixteen years old. Now 22, she's decided to find her intended, who she hasn't seen in a number of years because of the war, so they can begin their life together. She travels to England, along with a family friend, and finds more than she bargained for. Heart-sick, out of money, and desperate to go home, Georgina and her companion sign on as crew members on the Maiden Anne, a ship sailing for Jamaica. Forced to hide her beauty in the guise of a boy, Georgina finds herself thrust into the role of cabin boy for the captain, James Malory.

Though fate has thrown them together, it takes more than that to join their stubborn hearts. Through pain and pleasure and the course of a voyage to America these two proud souls find that nothing means more to them than being together.

_Gentle Rogue_ is classic Lindsey at her best. There's just enough humor, passion, romance and angst to keep the pages turning almost of their own free will. The characters come to life and soon you feel they're old friends you've known forever. _Gentle Rogue_ is also the introduction of another infamous Lindsey family -- the Andersons. The Andersons are the American counterpart of the Malorys -- just as spirited, loyal, tempestuous and lovable. I fervently hope each Anderson brother gets his own story.

If you've come this far with the Malorys, don't stop now. The next story in line, _The Magic Of You_, is the story of Amy Malory, a Regina look-alike with all the boldness of Tony and James, the determination of Jason and the luck of her father, Edward.

Summary: Well Written and extremely Funny!
Review: If you are in for a light-humourous novel which lack drama and all that emotional stuff, then this is the book u are looking for. The Malories and Andersens are two eccentric families who are devoted to their own blood with fierce determination. Georgina is the sister of 5 Andersen brothers. Surely, u know wat that small detail suggests=) Their protectiveness toward George will be put onto test when James dared to touch their baby sister. Of course, we can't deny the additional fact of the presence of the Malory clan. It will be chaos when the two families meet. I didn't recognize Lindsey's writing in this novel. She absolutely did a good job and this is probably her best. If she's not good with drama, I assure u, it is because she's better on making people laugh than crying and thank God for that!
