Gone with the Rogue

First Comes Love #2
by Amelia Grey

⭐⭐⭐ /5

A widow trying her best to make a new life for herself and her four year old son… a charming gentleman come merchant hero at her beck and call, how could this go wrong?

In general I liked this book, but its just not going to be my favourite read...

There was nothing outright bad about this story... my issue were with the pacing of the story and the resolution to the main conflict at the end of the story. Firstly, the book seemed to drag on and build up the conflict, to the point where I thought something big was going to come of it in the end… this was not the case. While, the characters had a successful conclusion to their conflict, as a reader I felt deflated and kind of sad for this person they had built up to be the big bad bully.

The characters of Lady Julia and Garret Stockton came together in a fun meet-cute kind of way, and made me think that the story would have more fun antics - it did not. Lady Julia’s inner dialogue was repetitive and annoying. On a brighter side, Garret was a delightful hero and magically where he needed to be whenever his lady needed saving.

This story was a little redundant in the idea that the characters constantly go on about wanting to be together, but not willing to risk the consequence, I wish after all of the build up that the finale had some more pizazz.

All that said, I am still intrigued with the ladies this series is focused on and I will definitely be looking out for the next in the series!

Gone with the Rogue by Amelia Grey is scheduled to release April 28th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin’s through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...
