Mar. 19, 2010 - A Rogue of My Own by Johanna Lindsey

There's nothing like a good romantic novel and Johanna Lindsey is a master at writing them. Even though most follow the same predictable plot line, it is always a pleasure to read her stories. This particular story takes place at the royal court of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Billed as a historical romance, it is the setting and the names of the characters only that make it so. None of the specific plot details relate in any way to the historical context of the period. Still, the typical girl meets rogue, hates him but falls in love with him anyways while placed in some dangerous situations only to realize she loves him and he loves her, is for some reason appealing. Wouldn't we all like to fall so madly in love with someone? Real life is not usually as exciting. A fast and enjoyable read, Johanna Lindsey's latest offering continues her tradition as the queen of romantic fiction.
