I Kissed A Rogue by Shana Galen


This is Book 3 in the Covent Garden Cubs series.
He is now known as Sir Brook Derring. The best investigator
in England. Which is why he is called upon to find the kidnapped
Lady Lillian-Anne Lennox.
However, seven years ago, he was not good enough for her.
Every man wanted Lady Lillian-Anne Lennox. Her ego was
large. Brook was a nobody back then. A second son. Though
 he
was head over heels in love with Lady Lillian.
She left him shattered and broken hearted.
Lila did not even remember hurting him. She barely
remembered him at all.
Now, he has managed to save her from the kidnappers. Lila
witnessed a brutal murder while she was being held. Which
means her kidnappers are not done with her yet.
Therefore, Sir Brook is not finished either. They find
themselves far away in a ramshackle cottage hidden
deep in the woods. While he is protecting her,
they feel a strong physical attraction to each other.

"She hadn't known she could feel the way he
made her feel. It wasn't just the physical
pleasure, although that was certainly part
of it. But he made her feel as though she
were the most desirable woman in the
world. He looked at her, touched her, as
though he wanted her more than...well,
more than anything else. More than air or
water or life. "

Can they contain their strong feelings?
Will they have a physical relationship only?
Should Sir Brook take a chance on another broken heart?
Can Lady Lillian and her words be trusted?

I have read many Shana Galen stories. While I have always
liked them, this one is different. There is excitement and
adventure. But in addition, there is heat. Physical sexual
heat between the two characters. As I read it, I kept
feeling like Ms Galen has reached a more sophisticated
style in her writing. It was a compelling read. I believe
everyone will enjoy it as much as I did.
I got this copy from Netgalley.

The Rogue You Know - Review


The Rogue You Know 

by Shana Galen
Book 2 of the 
Covent Garden Cubs series



Susanna & Gideon's story is wonderful. There is plenty of suspense and action. And the two of them do make a wonderful couple. 

If there can only be one thing I like about Shana Galen's writing, it is the variety. Some of her stories are dark, deep with intense emotion. But others are easier and more fun. 

He hadn't met a woman yet whose clothes didn't practically fall off when he gave her The Look. Gideon glanced down then back up, giving her the most potent form of The Look he could muster.
She glared at him. "Do not touch me," she said
Gideon choked on his surprise. Why wasn't she melting? He must have done it wrong. He tried it again.

"What is wrong with your face?" she asked. "Your mouth looks odd."

Susanna is not a wimpy girl. She is smart. She even finds out
that she can be rather fearless. 
Gideon has lived a hard life. He has never met anyone like Susanna. 
He is ready to begin a new life for himself. 
And by a crazy coincidence, Susanna is also ready to begin a new life for herself. 
The story keeps you involved and smiling. I could not wait to see what happens next. 
One surprise after another. 
And fireworks. Don't forget the fireworks.
I really enjoyed this story. The way they talk to each other. They are both determined in their plans. Each of them feeling as if their life will be over if they don't complete their goal. And then, they each realize they have fallen for the other.
The Rogue You Know is a lovely, romantic, funny, rocking story. 
I highly recommend it to all the romantics looking for a good read.
It's another 5 star story from Shana Galen.

I got this copy from Netgalley and I have preordered a copy for myself.
