A quick fast story of 94 pages a well-written book that kept my interest throughout the book. This is the first book in A Rogue’s Kiss series and I will be looking for the other books in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The great character and storyline development kept me glued to my kindle until the turn of the very last page! The characters were so engaging that I was totally hooked and had a very difficult time putting this book down!
This is a very quick read. It is moderately paced and the storyline is about a very sweet romance. I know that this is a novella, but I feel that sometimes there was no flowing segue from scene to scene. It felt a little choppy. It also would have been nice to know how old the characters were. From what I gather from the story, Charles was a rakehell and had all kinds of experience. From drinking, excessive gambling and whoring. So, it appears that he was quite a bit older than Julia, who was a young innocent. I can only imagine Julia still in her teenage years. This story points out that Julia was around the same age as Charles’ sister, Celia and she was just about to have her come out, her debut to society. Charles had asked Julia to become his sister’s companion. I am only guessing they are around the same age. Anyway, other than what I have already written, overall it was a cute, sweet story.
Sent from her to become a harlot in a brothel Julia day is beyond terrible. Not welling Julia makes an escape right into Charles’s arms and things do start to get better. A charming story that is a quick read with just a bit of heat. It is just a perfect book for an evening read. Lovely characters with a splendid ending it is a good book for any collection. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
OH my gosh I love the idea that the act of dancing in the moon light together pushes Charles and Julia into a more physical relationship. the whole savior aspect of this story is really fun and I loved the characters
