Lovers of historical romance and mysteries are sure to enjoy this novel. (Library Journal <strong>(starred review)</strong>)<br /><br />&#8220;Katharine Ashe will never cease to awe with the inventiveness that defines her literary contribution, neither will her dazzling mastery of the English language and unsurpassed eloquence, and THE ROGUE confirms it all.&#8221; (Fresh Fiction)<br /><br />&#8220;The chemistry between them is electric &#8230; Ashe&#8217;s writing is lyrical and almost poetic in places, the plotting is tight, the romance is sensual and beautifully developed; and Saint is easily one of the finest romantic heroes I&#8217;ve read in quite some time.&#8221; (All About Romance (DESERT ISLE KEEPER review))<br /><br />&#8220;The romance between Saint and Constance is truly stellar. Readers will thoroughly enjoy watching these two smart, wary characters set aside past hurts and find their way back to trust and love.&#8221; (BookPage)
