An unexpected sexy roommate in close quarters…what could go wrong?JosieI’m an actress between gigs, crashing on the couch at my cousin’s old place. I won’t be here forever. I just filmed a pilot and, if the show gets picked up, I’m off to LA for my dream job. Only I never expected my new roommate would be the grouchiest man on earth. It almost cancels out his sexy rugged good looks. Almost.Sean… sexy rugged good looks. Almost.
Sean
The last thing I need is a woman moving into the house I’m renovating on the side. First of all, I live here. Second, I’m running on fumes trying to juggle my day job too. I don’t have time for her irritating cheer or her distractingly cute little body. I’ve got work to do.
And then Josie decides to “help” me renovate, which has the aggravating effect of making more work for me. I’m losing my damn mind. Yet, somehow, I can’t stop looking at her.
This romantic comedy stands alone with a swoonworthy happy-ever-after! No cliffhangers.

Loved the characters!
At first you would not expect these two people to get together. As different as they are, it happened. A light and entertaining story
this was interesting because it is clear from the beginning the characters have very different personalities. Josie is so social and cheery and optimistic that saying anything means to her would be like kicking a puppy. Something you could only do if you are a complete butt. And because Sean is a gentleman he tries so hard not to be rude despite being so peeved with the situation. Which is awkward, to say the least. I have to say that Josie is a much better person than most. She hears the story of her cousin and Sean’s ending and takes her side. Yes, she loves her cousin but she admits what her cousin did was wrong. Straight up horribly wrong and that she reaps what she sows. It takes real strength of character to side with what you know is right when someone you love is on the side of wrong. I liked that about her. She was a great character, much deeper than you originally think she will be.
A fun read as two unlikely people find each other.
This is the Brooklyn Construction Company disowned family story for Sean and Josie. First he has to get over his last relationship and learn to tolerate her bubbly personality. Then they have to get over his ‘stuck in Brooklyn’ desire to take care of her there vs her need to go where the acting jobs take her … if she ever gets and acting job. It is a good addition to the series. Not necessarily the best of series. If you like clean romance only, when you get to a sex scene just consider it as having been awesome and skip on past it. (I did mark it steamy).
My Kindle classifies this differently due to it being the Brooklyn part of the family vs the Princes part. It stores them separately.
Another great book in a series featuring the New York Rourkes. Sean was always a mystery to me. Why would a good looking guy decide to live in and renovate his ex-girlfriend’s brownstone home? Well , I finally got my answer and then some.
Sean is trying his best to finish the big renovation on his ex-girlfriend’s house. He has taken time off from his family business to finish this renovation. He sees this renovation as a way to prove himself. And along comes a little couch crasher to throw off his game. A distraction who can’t help but want to be helpful.
This book is filled with cringy but cute moments between Josie and Sean. These moments are typical of Kylie Gilmore. It’s what makes the characters relatable and lovable. You are instantly invested in these characters. I couldn’t stop reading this book. I can’t wait to get more.
The Rourkes are incredible, but the American´s outcasts attract my curiosity even more. But this time it is Josie who takes the lead. She is a professional actress trying to find her stardom. But sometimes we’re not sure if she’s acting, playing or just being plain idiot. “Gentleman” Rouke is not cool and seems cranky most of the time. Seeing each other naked by accident doesn’t help either. They are forced to spend time together, and then their true personalities unravel and the mutual attraction comes with full strength. In the end, the characters flourish and their professional lives unfold and they must face increasingly difficult times and also decide which passion pursue.
Sean and Josie are definite opposite who complement each other in every way. Sean wants to resist her because she is his ex’s cousin, who treated him terribly. I enjoyed reading about them in close quarters, getting to know one another.
I received an ARC from the author and voluntarily leave an honest unbiased review . All thoughts expressed are my own and freely given.
Wow! I loved this , it was addictive and I read it in one sitting. It made me laugh and the witty banter between Sean and Josie was fun to read. Their chemistry sizzled and you felt their connection deepen as the story unfolds. I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the next one in the series.
I really loved reading Rogue Gentlemen by Kylie Gilmore! This book is truly entertaining, witty and delightful read. Sean Rourke is a grumpy over protective and Josie is bright, cheerful and effervescent. Throughly enjoyed reading their interactions and romance! I highly recommend reading this book and you will enjoy reading it! I received this book as an arc for an honest review of it.
Rogue Gentleman by Kylie Gilmore was a really fun and entertaining story. This book definitely kept me on my toes with the fun interaction between the main characters, I had a constant smile on my face because this was so well written that I could really see these characters come alive. There are plenty of heartwarming moments and not to mention plenty of twists that just makes this a wonderful read. I couldn’t help but totally fall for Sean and Josie, I absolutely loved this book and I highly recommended it.
I am thoroughly enjoying this series.
I love Sean, in small part because that’s my husband’s name :). But mostly because he’s just such an awesome guy! He and Josie have there share of misunderstandings and disagreements but watching them work through everything is so worth the HEA.
This book really shows you how important communication, supporting your partner and compromise is for a healthy relationship.
Can’t wait for more Rourkes!
Loved this crazy fun, laugh out loud, sexy sweet, action packed adventure filled with engaging charters, witty banter, heart racing moments and undeniable passion…… excellent read! Could not put this journey down once I started reading it! Loving the Rourkes.
Kylie Gilmore has done it again, with the 8th book in her Royal Series, she gives you a sparkling romance that is full of fun, and laughter. Sean and Josie, sharing space and getting to know one another, is a showcase for Sean’s gentlemanly ways, add in Josie’s need to help, and you have a story that will leave you in tears from the laughter. A definite must read.
I loved this story. Josie is just adorable, and it is impossible not to fall in love with her. Sean is a true gentleman at heart, even if he doesn’t always want to be. I was glad that there wasn’t a lot of angst in the story; the conflict was more about outside events and goals. Instead, there was lots of fun banter and two people dancing around their instant chemistry. I read it all in one Saturday and loved every bit!
Not my favorite book of Kylie’s. It took me awhile to get into it. I had a hard time taking Josie seriously. She’s so young. Only 24, chasing her acting career and wanting a lasting relationship with Sean? It just didn’t feel real to me. She seemed so focused on her acting but not quite adult enough for a lasting relationship.
Sean is 31and is more established in life, career. He’s been hurt by Josie’s older cousin, Winnie. Even though he’s over her, he’s still protective of his heart. All he wants at this point in life is to complete the renovation on the place he shared with Winnie before she left him for another guy and then he can move on and think about dating and setting down. He resists Josie for as long as possible main because she’s planning to leave for LA soon but he finally gives in to what they both want.
I do have to say I thought I knew the direction the story was heading and was very happy to be wrong. I became much more entertained and I always enjoy how Kylie finds a way for the two main characters to work things out so they can make their relationship work.
All in all, I would recommend reading this book.
Sean and Josie’s love story was a fun adventure in Rogue Gentleman by Kylie Gilmore, book eight in The Rourkes series. Sean was renovating his ex-girlfriend’s house bartering work for a place to stay. He wasn’t just surprised that he suddenly had a roommate, he was angry. This “girl” was a distraction with her cute body and enthusiasm. He was struggling to meet his deadline as it was since he still had his day job. Josie was an actress between jobs and crashing on couches until she landed at her cousin’s place. She knew it was temporary as she had plans to return to LA for her dream job. Having a roommate who was super grouchy didn’t quite match up to his good looks. Having Josie “help” Sean with the renovation made more work for him, but gave them both an opportunity to truly get to know and understand each other; maybe even fall for each other. Josie was pleased to see the true gentleman that Sean could be.
Ms. Gilmore wrote a wonderful and moving story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, challenging situations, and endearing characters giving Sean and Josie a chance to find loved. I highly recommend Rogue Gentleman to other readers and look forward to the next book in the series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
Gilmore sets fire to the heart with a little ray of sunshine. Josie and Sean are at their brightest when they show the vulnerabilities that they try so hard to side. Rogue Gentleman is full of witty quips, uphill battles and heartwarming moments, but within the back and forth banter is a buried a duo of hearts looking for a place to belong. If home is where the heart is, then home resides inside of an unpredictable, irresistible, unfortgettable, Kylie Gilmore masterpiece. The gold standard for romantic comedy. All heart with a side of wit.
Another great story in The Rourkes series. The Brooklyn branch of the family are in construction but Sean dreams of more and is working to secure his future. Josie is an unemployed actress hoping to make it big. Sean and Josie get off to a rocky start but soon enough they sort out their differences for a HEA.
