title: While the Duke Was Sleeping: The Rogue Files
author:  Sophie Jordan 
description: An intrepid heroine with a fierce protective streak and the well-to-do bastard son of a duke clash from their first meeting and keep the sparks flying. This sizzling holiday-tinged romance launches a new series with links to Jordans popular Debutante Files books. (Library Journal)<br /><br />The comparison with the Sandra Bullock movie While You Were Sleeping is inevitable. James has taken the classic and put her own spin on the charming story.the sweetness and enchantment of the story remains with its snappy dialogue and set of engaging characters. (RT Book Reviews (4 1/2 stars))<br /><br />The novel hews very closely to the plot of its namesake film but Jordan has added both disdain and heat to the familiar story. The complex characterization and eccentricities of Struans relatives refreshingly diverge from typical portrayals of Regency gentry. (Publishers Weekly)
