A review by trestiffany
The Virgin and the Rogue by Sophie Jordan

4.0

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. A change of ingredients in a healing tonic turns it into an aphrodisiac and leads to a passionate encounter between Charlotte Langley and Kingston, the step-brother of her brother-in-law. From there they both work to resist the passion between them because succumbing means completely altering the life they both envisioned for themselves.

The encounters between Charlotte and Kingston are HOT! Sophie Jordan writes love scenes like nobody's business. As a reader you can feel the pull between the characters which makes you invest in their relationship. The book centers them nicely while having a surrounding cast that is engaging but does not takeover the story. Charlotte's sister, Nora was a particular favorite.

The ending of the book wasn't as tidy as I would have liked, seeming a bit rushed. But overall it was a very enjoyable read and I would recommend.
