I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review

I consider myself a connoisseur of romance novels, and I was pleased to see that I could request a historical romance off of LibraryThing. I had forgotten that I had requested it and that rings true to the book: it was forgettable. It was very short and I was bored. There were plenty of run-on sentences with unnecessary commas running rampant along the pages. The characters were static and the chemistry was lackluster. I appreciate getting a free copy but I wasn't that impressed. Congratulations on your publications, but it wasn't for me. ( )

I had a bit of a hard time in the first chapters. It was hard to tell who was speaking/thinking at the moment. We seemed to jump into the middle of a story already in progress. By the time I got to the middle of the book, I was really enjoying the book. ( )

Sweet and predictable. Great character development for main and secondary characters. ( )

So if you have read my blog or reviews over the past few months you would know I am absolutely IN LOVE with all of the heroes in Christi Caldwell’s books. Well we are going to add another one today called Alex!
Poor Imogen; not only did she commit a gross faux pas at Almack’s, but now she has to live through the embarrassment of her sister marring the man to which she was betrothed. So now she has to suffer through the snide remarks and the gossiping women of the ton and at times, her own mother. She has one refuge, her best friend Chloe Edgerton.
Sir Alex Edgerton (Chloe’s brother) has managed to survive a horrendous childhood and has become a reckless rake to take away his pain and memories. But now his brother Gabriel has cut him off; unless he becomes chaperone to his sister Chloe and by default to Lady Imogen too. It is only then does he see how Imogen suffers at the hands of her peers and her own family and he strives to protect her.
But when it becomes Alex’s protectiveness public knowledge, he is stopped in his tracks by monsters of the past.
So when it comes to the characters, what struck me first is that Imogen and the Edgerton’s back stories are truly stories of survivors and honestly, who couldn’t fall in love with Alex and his need to protect the women in his life. I would love to see both Chloe and Gabriel find their true loves as well.
Once again Christi Caldwell blows me away with her beautifully moving story, which literally moved me to tears. The writing is flawless and smooth story and it lacks for nothing. So with all that being said, I give The Love of a Rogue 10 out of 10.
