Dearest Rogue
by Elizabeth Hoyt
Dearest Rogue by Elizabeth Hoyt is 100% my kind of historical romance. After enjoying The Serpent Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt, I decided to try out some of her other books and Dearest Rogue really appealed to me. I even bought the book full price at Barnes and Noble’s. So it’s so very awesome that I completely adored Dearest Rogue.
Dearest Rogue is set in the mid 1700s England and focuses on Phoebe Batten and Captain James Trevillion. Phoebe is a lady from an aristocratic family, and she is blind. While she wasn’t born that way, over the years her eyesight became progressively worse, and now she can’t see unless it’s a very, very sunny day. And even then, she can’t really see much. So her (understandably) over protective brother hired Trevillion to watch over Phoebe.
Phoebe is such a wonderful woman. Although she wishes she had her eyesight back, she never lets her blindness get her down. She’s wonderfully strong, and she wants to be independent more than anything. While she wasn’t thrilled with Trevillion’s presence initially, they have formed a connection, of a sort.
As much as I loved Phoebe (and I really, really do) Trevillion absolutely stole my heart. Trevillion was in the Dragoons, and excelled at his job. But, due to an injury, he is no longer a part of that, and he is now a Bodyguard to Lady Phoebe. Trevillion takes his job of protecting Phoebe very seriously, and did he ever make my heart swoon. He has this fondness for Phoebe, but he keeps it to himself because he’s worried about class differences. He feels like he is not good enough for Phoebe, which of course is not true. This quiet love he has for Phoebe that he never shares with anyone just made me adore him so much.
Trevillion’s worries about not being good enough for Phoebe and his fear that his injury prevents him from being able to protect her leads to some conflict, but as frustrating as it was for me as a reader, it’s exactly what makes me love Trevillion all the more.
Trevillion and Phoebe are just so perfect for each other. Obviously, as this is a romance, I know that Trevillion and Phoebe are going to get together, but Elizabeth Hoyt made me believe that they actually belonged together. I can see how their different personalities fit so well together.
Dearest Rogue is also full of fabulous secondary characters, and I especially loved meeting Trevillion’s estranged family. Really, there isn’t much I didn’t love about Dearest Rogue by Elizabeth Hoyt. You all should read it RIGHT THIS MINUTE!This review was originally posted on Quinn's Book Nook
