Good read

I enjoyed this regency romance. Only one minor slip in slag. Interesting concept. Dragged very little. Interesting characters.

Quite entertaining!

Miss Fenella Trentham fell in love with the Marquess of Perryn five years ago on a moonlit night in his rose garden. Never mind that he was horribly drunk at the time or that he seemed to be wasting all of the gifts he had been given by birth. There was something about his kisses and, well, something about him that Fenella fall hopelessly in love with Perryn. For his part, Perryn remembered only that an angel had visited him and her words and kisses had led him to change his life for the better. Five years later, Fenella and Perryn have encountered one another at many balls and neither has been able to shake the inexplicable attraction they have for one another. This time, they encounter one another at a house party given by their mutal friend, Mrs. Almington. They encounter one another by chance in her rose garden and their attraction is fueled by the most amazing kisses. Mrs. Almington, for her part, has always believed that Fenella and the Marquess belong together and so she has set upon a matchmaking scheme.Following Mrs. Almington's grand plan, Fenella and Perryn find themselves matched together on a scavenger hunt to create a collection to be auctioned for the poor. Along the way, they must spend every travelling moment together. While they bicker and tease one another, their attraction continues to grow. Fenella, however, cannot find it in her to trust Perryn given his roguish tendancy to flirt with anything in skirts. But as their trip continues, she finds herself falling deeper in love with him and feeling more as if she could not live without him.A Rogue's Embrace is a charming book that will have you smiling from the first page. The attraction between Fenella and Perryn is evident from the beginning and their lighthearted teasing makes an enjoyable book. The only draw back was a slightly sinister appearance by a family member. However, this does not detract from the overall experience of the book. Quite entertaining, you will find this easy and fun read. Valerie King's talent at writing regencies and at creating a reading experience reminiscent of the language of Jane Austen will keep you coming back for more.
