Love Is a Rogue by Lenora Bell
3.0
Love Is a Rogue is the first book in the series, Wallflowers vs. Rogues by Lenora Bell.
I think the theme of the series is what I enjoyed the most.
The theme is about ladies breaking boundaries and institutions to pursue their dreams. They want more in life besides being an obligation and married off.
The first book, Love Is a Rogue is about Lady Beatrice Bentley who is in love with books and words. She wants to write her own dictionary one day and will do anything to avoid marriage, along with being a cash cow to a titled Earl or Duke that needs money.
Beatrice meets Stamford Wright, a Navy man and carpenter at her brother's estate, Thornhill House. Not only do the sparks fly but conversation is interesting for Beatrice.
Wright listens to her and acts like her words and mind are important.
But Beatrice and Wright are from two different worlds and must find a way for their love to survive.
Also in the plot, Beatrice inherits a bookstore by her estranged Aunt that just passed away. Her Aunt married for love instead of obligation and she knew how much her niece loved books!
Beatrice and Wright must figure out a why to repair the bookstore along with keeping it in Beatrice's hands. A real estate shark wants to take the property away from her.
I thought the characters were decent. The plot was okay along with the dialogue.
The book wasn't outstanding but it wasn't bad either.
3 stars right down the middle!
I will definitely read more in this series and hope to get something "more" from the upcoming books.
Love Is a Rogue was an okay book but I needed more of a spark from this one.
