Product Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey displays her dazzling "mastery of historical romance" (Entertainment Weekly), with a captivating novel about an innocent young lady whose first brush with royal court intrigue lands her at the altar alongside one of London's most notorious rogues.

How does an innocent lady find herself forced to wed a royal spy who seduced her -- by mistake? For Lady Rebecca Marshall, a whirlwind of passion and excitement begins when, to her mother's great delight, she becomes a maid of honor at the court of Queen Victoria. Rebecca's mother sees this appointment as a golden opportunity for Rebecca to make a good match.

At court, Rebecca innocently steps into the rivalry between the queen's spymaster and the noblewoman in charge of the maids of honor who is using the maids to spy on powerful courtiers. Soon Rebecca is entangled in a web of deceit with the charming marquis Rupert St. John. The devastatingly handsome n'er-do-well is the cousin of Raphael Locke, with whom Rebecca was once infatuated. What she doesn't know is that Rupert is a secret agent of the crown who leads a double life.

When Rupert obtains proof that Rebecca is spying on him, he seduces her. He hardly suspects her guileless nature. Forced to the altar, Rupert believes that Rebecca has set a trap of the worst sort in order to marry into his powerful family. Although he vows never to be faithful to his beautiful wife, as Rupert comes to know Rebecca's wit, adventurous spirit, and generous nature, his vow of revenge turns into a desire to share many passionate nights only with his wife for the rest of his life.

Warm, witty, and fillled with the "deliciously sexy" (Booklist) flirtation that makes each of her bestsellers an irresistible gem, A Rogue of My Own will have readers falling in love with Johanna Lindsey all over again!

3.0 out of 5 stars Meh...Was Okay..., Jul 3 2009

By	Tara (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Rogue of My Own (Perfect Paperback)

The story itself was cute. But I wish she would start writing with more fire and passion again, I love her old stuff. This is a quick, easy read and will satisfy most Lindsey fans but left me a little disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Needs Research, Jul 2 2009

By	microfiche (Scarborough, ON Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: A Rogue of My Own (Perfect Paperback)

Johanna Lindsey is a best-selling author and I've only one published short-story, so I feel embarrassed to criticize - it's like a junior leaguer daring to put down Gretzky - but I wanted to underline every anachronism in the book and throw it back to her.

The romance deserves kudos. It's light, witty and the situation and characters are believable. If it was set in modern times, or even as far back as the 1920's in the U.S., the language would not look like a tomato in a basket of peaches.

I don't expect the lace on the petticoat to be authentic, or every word to be in the style of Dickens; but characters in a historical novel should 'seem' to wear the correct clothes and hair styles (Rupert's shoulder length hair is as out of date in the 1840's as the coats he wears to tease his mother. Brushing the top of the collar, yes, like Byron - and even that would look a bit affected. Look at pictures of Prince Albert and other men of that era. Only Disraeli's hair stood out.) and and the dialogue should sound more than a tiny bit closer to the dialogue of Dickens, Thackeray, et. al. than to Jackie Collins, or Sophie Kinsella. The former knew how servants and the upper classes spoke because they actually heard them and wrote it down, just like the latters' books sound like modern Los Angeles or modern 'designer label shopaholics'. So, since the classics are available in stores, and some of the magazine fiction is on the 'Net, Ms. Lindsey should read a few and feel the rhythm and see the vocabulary of the time, and place. She, and we, needn't drown in a modern historical novel; but the reader's inner ear should not hear 21st century American English out of mid-19th century characters.

Also the mores. I think the novel could better be set in the United States. Servants calling their 'betters' by their first names? I needed smelling salts. Equals, even friends, did not, unless they had known each other almost from the cradle. Elizabeth Marly showed her bad breeding - and I'll admit the author wanted to show her bad breeding - when she referred to Queen Victoria as 'Drina. Elizabeth's brag backfired on her because she was not the Queen's intimate (that she could call Her Majesty by an abbreviation of her actual first name) and the other maids of honour soon disabused Rebecca that she was anything more than a poseur.
