The Virgin and the Rogue by Sophie Jordan
5.0
**4.5 Stars**
The Virgin and the Rogue was scintillating with its heated banter and methods of creating a love story from nothing. There's hateful lust and then there's the kind of uncontrollable desire that comes from a mistaken tonic that opens doors that never would've been opened before. Jordan takes a witty spin on the what if and delivers with amazing results.
With its unique way of bringing a couple together, the raw sexual magnetism between Charlotte and Kingston is immediately front and center and then it falls succinctly into confusion and adamant denial that has you begging for another taste of that unbridled attraction. I loved the witty and resistant back-and-forth it brought out with these two proudly stubborn characters and how it showcased all the ways they refused to go beyond the surface in not just their connection, but in most parts of their lives. Though Charlotte was a bit more willfully hardheaded than him, Kingston was pure coveted romance hero, with a cold exterior that's hiding all the goodness underneath. Watching them slowly unravel was all too satisfying and it was impossible not to swoon every time Kingston gave a little bit more of himself to her. This is my favorite of the series so far, but I can't wait for how Jordan will attempt to top it next.
