Summary: The book everyone's been waiting for!
Review: If you're one of the many readers who've written to me to say you're waiting for the book featuring the Marquess of Rothgar, this is it.The inner cover of Devilish says "Feared by men, desired by women, the Dark Marquess has vowed never to marry. But what will happen when he meets his match?" His match is Diana, Countess of Arradale, a peeress in her own right. Diana is as drawn to the enigmatic marquess as everyone else, but she too has vowed never to marry. After all, if she does so she will lose most of her power and independence. A Devilish situation! Two of the strongest wills in England resolve to part and never meet again, but then a king interferes, and enemies attack, and self-control shatters....

Summary: Rothgar's story did not disappoint in any way!!
Review: Like everyone else I have been waiting for Rothgar's story. He is one of the most charasmatic characters in romantic fiction! So strong, compelling, gorgeous and mysterious - throughout all the other Malloren books he was the one that did everything for his family - he made all things possible. And yet he was such a lonely sole and totally intended to never ever marry becuz he felt his mother was mad and he would never want to wed. He intended to remain alone forever! One just knew the minute he met Diana in Secrets of the Night that she was finally the one woman that would be able to reach through his armour and finally make him realize that he too needed someone to complete his life. And for love it was worth taking the risk that he was never able to even consider taking before. This is a wonderfully written love story, with just enough drama and danger as all the Malloren novels have. I will say again that it is so beneficial to read these books in order - especially to understand the depths of Rothgar's defenses against love and having a family of his own. I just do not see how one could be disappointed in Devilish!! I did not think I could enjoy a series as much as Stephanie Laurens Cynasters but the Malloren's are totally in the same first class category!!

Summary: LOVED IT!
Review: GREAT, SPECTACULAR, PRECISE, DETAILED, WONDERFUL... I COULD GO ON PRAISING THE BOOK FOREVER!
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE HERO AFTER A FEW PAGES. HE IS A FAMILY GUY. ALWAYS PROTECTING HIS FAMILY FROM VERBAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE IS ROTHGAR. NOT TO MENTION THAT HE IS ALSO VERY GORGEOUS IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY... THE BEST TYPES.
THE HEROINE IS GREAT AS WELL. SHE SURELY KNOWS HOW TO AMUSE AND PUSH ROTHGAR'S BUTTONS.
THEY FIGHT EACH OTHER, AND THEN THEY GROW TO LOVE EACH OTHER.
BUY THIS BOOK, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

Summary: The Most Sizzling Malloren of Them All!
Review: I was slightly disappointed. After reading all the little bits about Bey in the previous books I guess I built myself up for something more. I liked Diana, she was one of the best heroines in the Malloren books. She recognized the time to be frugal with her unconventional character which represents a true to life heroine. And given her aversion to taking a lover prior to Bey her willingness to be with him was believable. But as for Bey, I liked him, but I was expecting something a little more ruthless or maybe just more aloof. He fell so easily for Diana. But I still rate the book high because Beverley had everything add up: the amelioration of the family burden for Bey, the King's insistance on a marriage for Diana, Bey's protective character. I think the biggest let down was the fact that Bey was cool even when Diana had been kidnapped and abused so badly. I just felt like his control should have slipped a little more prior to the capitulation. But it was still a great read and held me the whole time.

Summary: I think I expected too much...
Review: Hmmm... well, I think I have myself built up so much for Rothgar's story that I expected way too much. If you've read the first books of this series, you probably know what I mean... I REALLY had myself built up for this story! Rothgar himself was a prime example of the male of our species.... the story let me down. It was a pretty romance - but the romance could have been done in half the pages. There was way too much 'he thought about her..... she thought about him....' - it got really old. It moved at a snails pace due to this fact. The plots in the other books had more depth and moved much faster.

Summary: Somethings missing...
Review: After collecting all and reading each book in it's successive orders, I was intrigued by Rothgar and could not wait to read his tale. His movement through the other stories did a real job of whetting my curiosity about him. He was all that I had hoped and expected and I was not disappointed in the way his character was developed. Diana was a bit of a disappointment as a heroine for him. It was great that she was independant and strong of will but I would have liked to have seen him with a woman that was more mature (no more than 5 years his jr) and a little more worldly. Besides the fact that she could do all the he could do was just cute. He still needed a woman. To me Diana was yet another person to be added to his long list of people that he had to take care of. I think the characters of Diana and the Mistress should have been switched. She was just too young to be the woman that he needed. This story definelty fell flat of the expectations that were built throughout the series.
