A Rogue of My Own

By Johanna Lindsey

Book Overview

In #1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey's captivating regency romance, an innocent young lady's first brush with royal court intrigue lands her at the altar alongside one of London's most notorious rogues.

For Lady Rebecca Marshall, a whirlwind of excitement begins when she becomes a maid of honor at the court of Queen Victoria. But when Rebecca unknowingly steps into the rivalry between the Queen's spymaster and a noblewoman who uses the maids as courtly spies, she is soon entangled in a web of deceit with the charming marquis Rupert St. John.

Customer Reviews

A great surprise!

I knew the reviews were mixed on this book, but I have always waited anxiously for any new Lindsey book. I thought the book was wonderful. The characters were not the typical and I know that may have upset a few readers. However, that is what makes her books interesting. 'A Rogue of My Own' was my first Kindle purchase and I enjoyed every second. If you love Johanna Lindsey's books, you will more than likely enjoy this book.

I'M SOOO GLAD I DIDN'T LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS, I LOVE JERKY HEROS!!!

I love jerky, rough around the edges heros... it brings out so much emotion to the reader that you want to jump inside the story and knock sense into their thick headed skull, but it's so satisfying to see them begging at the end. To each their own opinion, but I'm so happy I didn't listen to the reviews on this book, I could have missed a wonderful story and this is a definite keeper! I highly recommend it.

Great Book by Johanna Lindsey

This book was excellent. A great read for all. It diffinitely keeps you on your toes.

Best in years

I read two romance authors religiously---Johanna Lindsey and Julia Quinn. Every year I eagerly await the newest Lindsey novel. I like the earlier novels of Jude Deveraux, Julia Garwood, Nora Roberts and the like, but they have all changed their style---adding mystery or thriller to the plot that overshadows the love story. Johanna Lindsey has never changed her formula---which is what I love best about her work. Her novels always deliver exactly what I want----a sweet historical love story with a spicy heroin and an intriguing hero. Over the past few years, however, her novels have been adequate, but not very memorable. A Rogue of My Own was a blast from the past! A battle of the sexes at it's best! Becca and Rupert gave as good as they got and Lindsey proved once again that Love Conquers All.
