Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This was a great one! I already loved James from LOVE ONLY ONCE. His own story didn't disappoint. I love the scenes with him and Tony! One of my favorite and most endearing is when James introduces Tony to his son. (In my opinion, Tony's own story fizzled horribly.) There wasn't a boring spot in this book, though. James is a handsome devil, and menacing when he needs to be. It's definitely worth reading again.
Love the part where he walks in on "George" using the chamber pot!

Summary: I want to give it 10 stars!
Review: James Malory is the greatest thing in the history of the romance novel world! He is awesome--gorgeous, tough, sarcastic, hilarious. I could go on and on! Georgina is adorable too. If you never read any other Lindsey, read this one!

Summary: Passion, adventure and humor
Review: I wish I had never read this book so I could read it for the first time again and again. But as I have read it more than 10 times by now and I know every line and paragraph, I must be content to encounter the magic the 11th time, the 12th time... and so on.This is my favourite JL book. For me, it is the perfect romance, it has everything: love, passion, laughs, adventure. The characters and storyline are perfect: the ex-pirate rogue - that's gentleman pirate, pardon me James :) - , British lord on the side, handsome, sarcastic, who has sworn never to get married and who thinks no woman will be more to him than a mistress, meets his equal and downfall in an adventurous American girl, who hates all things English and aristocratic, as she is forced to impersonate his cabin boy in order to get home to America. They fight, they laugh, they make love, but - of course - they cannot be together since he's not ready yet to commit himself and she knows this. The situation she is put in as his cabin boy (of course he knows she's a woman, but there are so many possibilities to this seduction game that he cannot resist), as she slowly grows attracted to him and doesn't even know it yet, generate endless laughs. Georgina has a funny way of talking to herself (or to her conscience), like Megan in Man of my Dreams, which allows you to know her for the wonderful funny and smart girl that she is and makes you understand why James falls for her. As for the other way around, what girl wouldn't fall in love with a handsome pirate who happens to make you feel like you're in heaven, makes you laugh and gives you everything you want? After she leaves him just as he was about to propose to her to be his mistress ("Good God, James, you were going to go *that* far?" as his friend Connie puts it), he realizes he can't part with her just yet and makes a wonderful scene in front of all her five brothers at a big party, thus allowing himself to be "forcefully" wed to her - and then prompty thrown into jail for his pirating acts. Georgina breaks him out of jail and he "abducts" her (quote since she doesn't resist the abduction and his apparent reasons for taking her are more than forced) and takes her back to his home in England. Here, he is forced to introduce his new wife to his family (remember Regan, Tony, Roslynn?) whose reactions vary from disbelief to stupefaction and happiness. They slowly come to terms with each other and accept their love. The journey is so wonderful, you wouldn't want to change anything in the story. I cannot praise Ms. Lindsey skill enough on this one.

Summary: An amazing love/adventure story
Review: I thought this was an amazing story. I found it funny. My favorite part was when James tels Georgie, that everything he did with her brothers, was intentional. That, is honestly romantic. I think the entire Malory series should be a movie, or a series of movies.

Summary: Excellent
Review: What else is there to say? This book is all that and then some!
Rating:
Summary: Absolutely superb!!!
Review: There is nothing I can say about this book that has not already been said, (considering the stars this book received) other than Johanna Lindsey DID IT AGAIN. Our hero, James, is a notorious rake who "will never marry." However, when he meets Georgina . . . that all changes (after a while.) This book is not "just like all the other books" it is a real MOVER. I very strongly recommend it.

Summary: This is a wonderful book
Review: This story is for James Malory and Georgina (Georgie or George) Anderson. George is a proud American, still simmering after the War of 1812. She goes to hated England to find her fiance who she knew had been impressed by the British Navy. She finds him- happily married. Crushed, beautiful George just wants to go home. So she signs on to be a cabin boy aboard the gentleman's ship, the Madien Anne. She meets the captian, James Malory. Recognizing him from a past meeting, (in Tender Rebel) she hopes he doesn't recognize her. But he does. He sets out to seduce her. But this arrogant man swore off marriage. When George meets up with one of her brothers, and is taken home to America, James follows, thus we meet the Anderson brothers. This book is full of fueding, though this time not between Malory's, but between Anderson's and Malory's. This book introuces you to all new characters and old ones as well.

Summary: The Best of the Series
Review: A really fun book. Lot's of chemistry and great scenes. My favorite scene is when the hero happily and arrogantly contemplates making the heroine his mistress as she sails away from him under his very nose -- so funny. Tender Rebel and the other books in the series drag a bit -- this one doesn't. If you haven't read the rest of the series, the only time things get a bit silly are when all the characters from the series come in and the author tries explaining a bit of the other books to give the reader the scoop. This book is so much fun, it really doesn't need the rest of the series to justify it!! This stands alone.

Summary: Another hit for Ms. Lindsey
Review: If you are looking for a true romance with loads of comic relief, this is the one for you! I can't tell you how many times I've read this book- too numerous to count! I still laugh and cry and make my husband listen to the exploits of James and George. I read this book first and had to go out and find the other Malory books. Of them all, this is my favorite.

Summary: ROMANTIC, FUNNY, AND THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING!
Review: Although I read Gentle Rogue first it is actually the third book in the Mallory family series. It is absolutely magnificent. Johanna Lindsey makes you feel as though you are right there aboard ship with James and Georgie. I immediately fell in love with all the characters, especially the highly protective Anderson brothers. Johanna Lindsey takes you through an entire spectrum of emotions with this book and will leave you with a wonderful feeling. After you read this book you'll be hooked and will have to get to know the rest of the wonderfully unforgettable Mallory family.
