 Disappointing March 23, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Don't like the heroine - what kind of a silly nitwit would try to hide on a ship and 'work her way' back to America. Also, she was a bit easy, rolling over for the hero when he hadn't even worked for it at all. Don't like the hero either. He is arrogant and treats the heroine like a tramp. The story seems contrived and awkward, and the 'beautiful girl hiding as 10 year old boy' was not believable, and is such a cliche. Skip this one.
 just a little rushed, a little tedious February 23, 2006

In general this book is overall good, but I found the the love story rushed with far to little seduction and to much simple taking with to much lust without much sentiment making it seem jaded. As well most of the story is centered on unconstructive fighting between the hero and heroin and between the secondary characters, making it all a little dull.
 Well Written and extremely Funny! February 22, 2004
If you are in for a light-humourous novel which lack drama and all that emotional stuff, then this is the book u are looking for. The Malories and Andersens are two eccentric families who are devoted to their own blood with fierce determination. Georgina is the sister of 5 Andersen brothers. Surely, u know wat that small detail suggests=) Their protectiveness toward George will be put onto test when James dared to touch their baby sister. Of course, we can't deny the additional fact of the presence of the Malory clan. It will be chaos when the two families meet. I didn't recognize Lindsey's writing in this novel. She absolutely did a good job and this is probably her best. If she's not good with drama, I assure u, it is because she's better on making people laugh than crying and thank God for that!
Excellent: Romance, Humor, Excitement all in one! November 9, 2003
I've read a lot of duds lately, so I was thrilled while reading "Gentle Rogue." It never got boring. I read the entire 426 page book in a day, because I could not put it down.
James Malory is a terrific hero. His wit keeps you grinning through out the story. He's also big, strong, brave, and all man. Although he has a dark past, he has a soft heart for the women in his family.
Georgina Anderson makes a great heroine, too. She is strong- willed, but not nasty like some heroines turn out. She has guts and is willing to work to make her way home, to America, from England. She's intelligent and witty, as well.
The families of both James & Georgina are also a good source of humor. James has 3 brothers, Georgina has 5. All enjoy ribbing one another in a way that makes the whole story fun.
Great love scenes, that are steamy without going over the edge.
This is my first book by Lindsey. I'm definitely going to look for more of her work.
Interesting as usual November 5, 2003
it is good to see the notorious rouge being tied down(marriage), and his plot to seduce georgie, the dialogue are funny as usual, i recommend readers to read the whole of molary series, you won't be disappointed
