#Review: ABOUT A ROGUE by Caroline Linden


  4 of 5 stars

 Maximilian St. James sees the perfect opportunity to finally become a responsible gentlemen when he agrees to marry Caroline Tate, an heiress to the famous Tate pottery empire. His perfect plan goes awry when Caroline runs away to marry her true love. Her sister Bianca finds herself agreeing to marry Max in her sister's stead after a heated row with her father. Bianca despises Max and though they are married, she does everything she can to stay away from him. It's up to Max to win her over, but is this one challenge he cannot win?

I loved all the lively conversations early on in Max and Bianca's marriage. This was no love match and Bianca reminds Max of that fact every day, but Max is determined to make a go of this business marriage. There was a slow build up of feelings between these two and it was definitely believable, but Max is keeping a terrible secret that threatens to tear this couple apart forever. Will Bianca be willing to forgive Max for his deception? This book had good pacing and I was quickly turning the pages to see how things would work out. There was also a delightful short story at the end about Kit and Jennie.

I voluntarily read this advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
