Product Description

Gentle Rouge

Heartsick and desperate to return home to America, Georgina Anderson boards the Maiden Anne disguised as a cabin boy--never dreaming she'll be forced into intimate servitude at the whim of the ship's irrepressible captain, James Mallory.

The black sheep of a proud and tempestuous family, the handsome ex-pirate once swore no woman alive could entice him into matrimony. But on the high seas his resolve will be weakened by an unrestrained passion--and by the high-spirited beauty whose love of freedom and adventure rivals his own.

3rd book in the Malory Series
First off, here is the series in sequence: 1. Love Only Once 2. Tender Rebel 3. Gentle Rogue 4. The Magic of You 5. Say You Love Me 6. The Present: The Malory Holiday Novel

I decided to finish reading the whole series before i write the reviews so i can compare it all. Now this book (and Love Only Once) is my favorite in the Malory series. James have always intrigued me eversince I read about him in Love Only Once. He was a handsome care-free rebel & a pirate gentleman! In the 2nd book, Tender Rebel, my intrigued even heightened when he brought home a son, Jeremy, and when James got charmed by a girl pretending to be a lad who he met at a seaside bar. Once again, I wasn't disppointed when I read his story. James and Georgina's love story was not only sweet & charming, it was most definitely the most amusing of all the Malory book series. The seatrip, the schemes & pretentious, the meeting of Georgina's brother's was utterly hilarious. James surely got a dose of his own medicine. What a riot! You will love James more in this book... and you too will be charmed by Georgina. They are both a lovely pair.

Note: I have notice that all books in this Malory series (except for the first one) contains lots of repetitive informations. There were times I had to skip parts wherein a Malory or two will start discussing the story or happenings of the previous books, sorta like a short summarization for those who have not read it. For readers like me who have read the series in sequence, It's kindda useless info. and i won't lose anything to skip it... At first, this style of writing didn't seem to bother me but when I got to the third book of the series, the summarization of the first two books was getting to me (but i still rated this book a 5 stars bec. I highly enjoyed it despite me skipping some parts i already know about). Imagine my restlessness when i was reading the 4th and the 5th book! I skipped more parts then cuz I didn't need to read the summary of the 3-4 previous books which i have already read. Whew! I say it would have been better for Ms. J.L. to leave readers some thrill to pick up each book and read each story for themselves.

One of my all time favorites!!!!!
I can't say enough about this book! I completely fell in love with James (who wouldn't?). I have never laughed so much while reading a book. I think I have read it at least 50 times! Two of my favorite scenes is when Tony finds out that James and George are married and when they are having breakfast with Tony and his wife. Also, any scene with James and Tony going at it with each other is guaranteed to be hilarious!!! I loved the relationship Johanna Lindsey created between those two Malory men. I definitely recommend this book to everyone!!! If you haven't read it yet, you don't know what you are missing. I also loved all of the other Malory novels, but this one is the best. I CANNOT wait until Jeremy has his own story!!!

Enchanting
I found this book absolutely wonderful. This was the fifth Malory novel I've read and I loved it. This is the story of James Malory, the family ex-pirate, and Georgina Anderson, a heartbroken American. Did I mention James is English? Ms. Lindsey has brought to life two very lovable characters. I laughed at the antics of James and his brother Anthony. And when Connie, friend of James, is added to the mix it is downright hilarious. The love scenes between James and Georgina are without a doubt superb. There is so much tenderness between the two. You will fall in love with them as they fall in love with each other. Tender Rebel, the Malory novel with Anthony as the main character, is closely tied to Gentle Rogue. Some parts of the story overlap with Tender Rebel. The parts are so entertaining though I'm sure you won't mind. Oh, one other thing, once you read one Malory novel you'll be hooked and have to read them all!!!!:o)
