But then my bride appears, and the real nightmare begins. It’s Riley, my best friend’s little sister, looking all grown up and—gulp—married. To me. My best friend forbid me even looking at her on account of my rep for one-nighters.

Jack, the greatest pranker, didn´t see that coming! Woke up married to his best friend´s sister is not something he would expect on his wildest dreams, or maybe nightmares. He need to remedy this the sooner the better. But it needs to be done the right way and life, as always, has other plans. One roadblock after another and this marriage seems harder and harder to dissolve. Meanwhile, he gets the chance to spend some time with Riley and discover that they really have the same wavelengh. And the guy who never saw himself tied or building a family of his own starts to dread the end of this odd relationship. Will real love and hapiness be out of his reach now that he saw a glimpse of it? And no one other than Riley could show him the way to achieve the dreams he never dreamed for himself.
This one had me torn. I love this series and glad to finally read Jack’s story. This was a Vegas surprise wedding/brother’s best friend romance. I loved Jack like I do all the other Rourke brothers but it took me awhile to like Riley. She had all of the insecurities most of us have when it comes to getting the person we want but she was a bit more of a trickster about getting what she wanted. She did win me over at the end but I spent most of the book feeling bad for Jack. Nice guy just trying to do the right thing. Only to be treated poorly by the girl he was falling for.
Jack went to Vegas to attend his best friend’s bachelor party and woke up with a gold ban on his finger and his best friend’s sister, Riley as his bride. This is a whole lot of no bueno. First, his best friend is going to kill him. Bro Code demands this. But most of all he is not the marrying type. He’s the rascal who loves living his life free and unattached. Jack tried his best to do the right thing. To prevent his own death at his best friend’s hand ruining his bog day as well as leaving Riley in the lurch for her birthday, he agrees to have a fake relationship with Riley. The most unlikely thing happens. He starts falling for Riley and considers keeping this marriage intact. What will he do? You have to read to find out.
Can not get enough of this heartwarming and sexy family….. Really loved this fun, sexy, action packed romantic adventure that starts with a oops wedding in Vegas and hits all the right feels to a swoon worthy end. Exciting and engaging charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and the passion. Loved it!
When it comes to Kylie Gilmore’s books I can’t wait to read her next book! Rogue Rascal is an truly humorous love story and a delightful wonderful romantic story. Jack loves to play pranks on his friends and loved ones and Riley is the quiet younger sister of his best friend and they wake up married in Vegas. Oops! You will laugh and enjoy reading Rogue Rascal, I highly recommend reading it! I received this book as an arc for an honest review of it.
Rogue Rascal is a humorous take on the girl next door story. Jack is the jokester of the family & loves pulling pranks. He’s a die hard bachelor & liked most women that he meets. This is why it’s alarming when he wakes up in Vegas in someone else’s room with a wedding band on his finger. And then the bathroom door opens to show his bride….
Riley is a serious corporate accountant & has been interested in Jack for years. She knows she’s too serious & by the book for him. She wants someone to shake things up though & teach her how to have fun. Jack should be perfect for that role, right?
These two are definitely a case of opposites attract. Riley is serious & quiet. Jack is witty & fun. Actually, they are perfect for each other. Jack pulls Riley out of herself & lightens her up. Riley gives Jack someone to relax with so he doesn’t have to be “on” all the time. This storyline is loose & fun. All of the characters have become like close friends. I enjoyed having something fun & happy to read & caught myself chuckling in some areas.
Hilariousness ensues after a bachelor party and bridal party collide! Jack awakes to a ring on his finger and his friend’s little sister wearing the veil. Riley has always wanted to be with Jack, so add in some alcohol to loosen things up, and you end up with a fake relationship. Huh? Things snowball from there, but what they find out in the end is that the Rascal meets his match!
Jack doesn’t believe that he is long-term material. He likes to keep everything light and fun. He is more surprised than anyone else to realize that there is more to him than he thought. Riley is tired of serious guys and wants some fun. Jack is obviously the perfect guy to explore pranks and fun with. That is working really well until Jack turns super serious all of the sudden. What are they going to do?
I really enjoyed the reversals in this story. There is lots of switching expectations and roles. We discover, along with Jack and Riley, that they are actually a balanced couple and that they make a great team. I also enjoyed seeing some more glimpses of the younger Rourke boys. And if you are following the Serving Spoon Saga, get ready for some revelations! (That whole thing just cracks me up.)
Rogue Rascal (The Rourkes) was another fun and entertaining story from the very talented Kylie Gilmore. This book had me giggling at times and pulled at my heartstrings other times, I even felt a bit misty eyed at one point. I absolutely loved these two characters they were so darn lovable in my opinion, they had a fantastic chemistry and you could really feel their connection from the very start of the book. This author made these two come alive they felt so real and I have to say I absolutely loved this book.
Jack is the life of the party kind of guy he is always ready to pull a prank on family and friends, when his best friend asked him to set up the bachelor party, its party time and Vegas here we come. Riley is the serious hard working one and the best friend’s little sister she just once wants to be the fun one the spontaneous one. This is just the start of one great story. I highly recommend this book.
Jack Rourke’s story, is the latest of Kylie Gilmore’s Royal Series, and I have to say, it is a hot, funny, addictive read. Royal Rascal is the the tale of the Rourke prankster finding love in the most unexpected way, with the most unexpected woman. You need to grab Royal Rourkes #9, and see how Jack and Riley find their happily ever after. 5 golden stars.
Jack and Riley’s love story was a fun adventure, and one of my favorite tropes, in Rogue Rascal by Kylie Gilmore, book nine in The Rourkes series. Jack is the king of pranks, so when he wakes up in Vegas in a strange hotel room, wearing a gold band on his finger and a bridal veil on the nightstand, his first thought is his friends are getting me back. When his bride appears he knows he’s in real trouble because she’s Riley, his best friend’s little sister. Jack had been warned to not even looking at her because of his reputation as a one-night guy. Riley has had a crush on Jack for a while but her brother also warned her away. She knows they need to end this, but she’s having fun with Jack. In fact, the more time Jack spends with Riley, trying to do damage control, he finds himself having second thoughts about ending this marriage. These two are perfect for each other; Jack brings fun to Riley’s life and Riley grounds him. Having a few pranks up her sleeve could just make Riley the ideal match for Jack. I guess, what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas.
Ms. Gilmore wrote a wonderful and moving story that is definitely not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, out loud laughs, pranks, and charming characters giving Jack and Riley a chance to prove opposites attract. I highly recommend Rogue Rascal to other readers and look forward to the next book in the series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
Another great Rourke love story!
Vegas, bachelor/bachelorette party, cheesy wedding chapels, best friends little sister, pranks, this story has it all.
The atmosphere in Vegas leads to some pretty crazy shenanigans after a few shots of tequila for Rylie & Jack. Then they get in over their heads while trying not to hurt anyone’s feelings. But through it all, they get to know each other better…….and realize that just maybe there is something more there.
Pranks will be pulled, feelings get hurt somewhat, but in the end, they figure it out.
As Jack always says, “you only prank the ones you love!”
Loved this book! Jack is the king of pranks. But when he wakes up in a hotel room in Vegas that’s not his and it looks like he may have gotten married the night before he’s more than a little panicked. When he sees his bride is his best friend’s sister and his friend is now pounding on the door, he’s way beyond panicked.
Riley has had a crush on Jack since she first met him when she was 18. She’s heard the stories from her brother, Sam, about Jack’s pranks, which are hilarious, and his love ‘em and leave ‘em ways with women, which is why he’s always been off limits.
But, here they all are in Vegas for a bachelor and bachelorette party for Sam and Alison. Throw in some tequila and throw out some inhibitions and the next thing you know you’re buying wedding rings and heading to a chapel.
Riley thinks she’ll finally have some time to get to know Jack. After all, he’s her husband. Jack on the other hand, has just one thing on his mind – annulment! They just need to wait until after Sam gets married so he doesn’t hate Jack for sleeping with his sister. Which he didn’t, but who would believe that knowing Jack’s history?
Such a great story and the first American Rourke book I wasn’t wondering when would, or even if, the royal Rourkes would appear.
Still thinking about Jack and Riley days after finishing reading their story.
Thanks Kylie!
Kylie Gilmore continues to intrigue us with the Brooklyn Rourke’s and with this hilariously funny addition, you’ll love Jack and Riley’s story!
When Jack Rourke’s best friend Sam is ready to tie the knot Jack plans a Vegas bachelore party in Vegas none of them will forget. Only the joke seems to be on him when he wakes up to find he is married to Sam’s sister. Thanks to his reputation Sam is going to kill him! Yet, it seems the more he and Riley try to get the marriage annuled the less Jack wants the annulment.
I received an ARC and voluntarily offer this review.
Gilmore continues to wrap millions of hearts around her finger. Rogue Rascal paves it’s way to heaven with humor, heartache and heat. Jack and Riley are a match made in Vegas. One moment and a few too many drinks blurred lines, but brought long dormant emotions into focus. Within every disaster lies a tiny seed of hope. Gilmore never ceases to forget that hidden inside of every heartbreak is the beginning of a happy ending. With a little bit of faith and a will to take a risk, anything can happen. Humor with heart packs a mighty punch.
I love the Rourke family. Jack is the joker in this branch of the family and no one ever expected him to fall in love, especially his best friend Sam who had told him to stay away from his little sister Riley. However you can’t help who you fall in love with and when Jack and Riley attend the bachelor & bachelorette parties in Las Vegas, Riley and Jack find they have a strong attraction. Riley pulls off the best prank and when Jack realises he plots revenge – to have to read it to believe it. These two are great together. I look forward to more of this series.
Another winner here for Kylie! This series gets better and better with each book, and when I tell you, that you will fall in love with Jack & Riley, and their story, you will be craving more from the Brooklyn Rourkes! 5 bright shiny stars, make sure you grab this one asap!
Jack is the jokester of the group, so when he wakes up with a ring on his finger and a veil in his bed, he thinks the guys are trying to prank him, till she comes out of the bathroom, Riley, his best friends sister! How did this happen? Read along and find out, you will love it!
