ONE OF THE BEST!!!!

AN UNDENIABLE ROGUE is one of the best romances I've ever read! I finished it in a day, totally glued to the pages! It is the story of two people who need to learn to trust, and love. A very pregnant Sabrina Whitcomb is widowed and penniless, running and hiding from someone evil and cruel, from a past she is ashamed of. As her dear friend and brother-in-law lays dying at the Battle of Waterloo, he makes one final request, and asks his friend, Gideon St. Goddard, Duke of Stanthorpe, to pledge to marry and protect her. Gideon returns to London to wed his unkown bride-to-be, not knowing what to expect. Certainly not such a ravishing beauty, not a woman due to deliver a babe in 2 weeks, and especially not such an innocent, in spite of her delicate condition.What did I love about the story? Everything! The list can go on and on. Mainly I loved the love story, the development of a relationship based on trust and caring that blossoms into true love. I adored the hero ... Gideon was kind and tender, understanding and at times surly, complimentary and sensitive, responsible and generous, sexy and... and he had such a wit about him, from what he thought to what he said, that I found myself smiling or chuckling at almost every page, especially in the first half of the book during his most frustrating moments with his new bride. He was a dream hero, and the way he fell in love with Sabrina's new babe was so heartwarming as to bring tears to the eye! The birthing scene was amazing ... really so well written, and Gideon came through to save the day!Sabrina had a cruel past with men, and she really needed to learn to trust in order to let go of her fears for herself and her family, and to allow herself to lose the control she held onto like a lifeline,  and thus lose her heart to Gideon. She had many secrets she was keeping from Gideon, amongst them, two particularly important ones which he discovers on his own. I won't reveal any spoilers because the discovery is too much fun for the reader ... but once again, Gideon came through like a knight in shining armor and made me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside! The secondary characters in the story add dimension and humor, as well as allowing the hero and heroine to discover more about themselves and each other through their interaction with them.The sexual tension between Gideon and Sabrina was palpable. There was such tenderness in the intimate scenes, that again, Gideon stood out as an exceptional and extremely sensitive man. Annette writes some scenes that, IMO, were more intimate in certain ways than many of the steamiest scenes I've ever read in romance. They were intimate in a "soul-touching" way. To me, the way Gideon worshipped Sabrina's very ripe and pregnant body, finding her beautiful and Goddess-like was extremely intimate. The way he liked just sleeping with her naked in his arms, their bodies intertwined, before ever having consummated their marriage, that was very intimate to me. And his repe

A Fabulous book!

What a fabulous book from Annette Blair. This book you can't put down. I was on edge reading it, until I was done with it. The children were such an added fun to this book. They were ever so mischievous and you just fall in love with those twins. Sabrina and Gideon's romance was so beautifully written. I still capture many images from this book, and its staying on my keepers shelf! I look forward to UNFORGETABLE ROGUE next!

One of the BEST Regency Romance Writers Around!

Annette Blair is one the most talented Regency romance writers on the market today. AN UNDENIABLE ROGUE is a quick, easy read with a fast-paced plot that kept me on my toes. As a hero, Giddeon St. Goddard is a kind-hearted rogue who turns a group of misfits into a family. The ending satisfies and lingers long after the book is closed, with a surprise thrown in for good measure. AN UNDENIABLE ROUGE entertains with laughter, tears and love and celebrates of the importance of family.

AWESOME!

Gideon St. Goddard, Duke of Stanthorpe, had held his best friend, Hawksworth, on the battlefield of Waterloo as he died. Gideon promised to wed his friend's sister, Sabrina, and take care of her. But Gideon had not understood that Sabrina Whitcomb was the sister-in-law. Sabrina was also a widow, had twin (four year old) boys, and was VERY pregnant! Even so, Gideon lost his heart to them all upon sight. Gideon quickly found out what a lovely woman Bree was, inside and out. Her deceased husband had been cruel to her and the boys. She married to provide for her children ... and hide from an evil man that still searched for her. Gideon knew it would take a lot of patience to earn the trust of the mother and the twins. But earn it he would! ***** AWESOME! To call this story incredible would be an understatement. I read the book twice. This is a hero worth dreaming about! Not the average hero in a book that the heroine had to win over. Not the average heroine that had one or two minor problems that seem to get out of proportion. Nope, the roles have been reversed! The heroine has several secrets and most are huge, and dangerous. The hero has to win the heroine and the twins over. I enjoyed this tale thoroughly! Highly recommended reading to all! Do not miss this title. On a side note, Annette Blair if you read this, know that you have a new fan in me! Write faster! *****

A Regency that sparkles with life!

An Undeniable Rogue by Annette Blair is a delightful read. The characters are engaging, the dialogue is sparkling and sexy by turns. Annette Blair has raised the bar for the Historical Regency. The Hero, Gideon is a Duke (of course) in need of reformation. The beginning, when he finds his intended bride heavy with child and operating a homeless shelter out of his London town house is hilarious. I really respect a man who is willing to wait to see what happens next! I love the motley group of people Sabrina collects and the way they all become a family. I read this book in one night! I just couldn't put it down and I can't wait for the next book by Annette Blair. I enjoy the way she puts together a sentence, and a plot, and you will too. I heartily reccommend an Undeniable Rogue and suggest that you preorder an Unforgettable Rogue as well!
