- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not a favorite Jo Beverley book. Mara, the heroine, seemed unreal. In no time, she decided that Dare should be her husband and most of the book was devoted to her wanting and eventually getting to marry Dare. The rest of the book lacked much of a plot. Primarily read the book to find out what happened to Dare and his story was interesting.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5 stars out of 5 I've never listened to or read Jo Beverley's romances before,but I did enjoy listening to this audio book. I thought it started out promising, the two main characters, Mara St Bride and Lord Darius Debenham likeable, but I thought I could have got more out of this romance if I had read or listened to previous Rogue novels as the other characters we meet were obviously developed in other novels. I thought that the love story took a back seat to the hero's fight to overcome his opium addiction but that said, I did enjoy Jo Beverley's character developement and the underlying love story. I certainly came to care for both her main characters. I would also like to listen to some of the other Rogue novels. Jack Murphy
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Jo Beverley is obviously a great writer (hence all those accolades for being a great writer) and I am thrilled to have found this book. I'll admit I read mostly historical romances of the Regency era where there is a duke as hero and a sweet, feisty, innocent young virgin as the heroine, both of whom learn about themselves on their journey to LOVE. In To Rescue A Rogue, the hero wasn't a duke (he was the third son of a duke), but he was admirable. He fought an opium addiction. Of course, it wasn't *his* fault he was addicted; he was held captive and fed the stuff until he became addicted, don't you know. And the heroine, while a sweet young virgin, was wise beyond her years and had an inner strength that matched that of the hero's. I absolutely loved both characters. I loved the way the plot kept thickening. It started out mostly about the heroine trying to get the hero to fall in love with her, but conflict began to arise because of all the trials (mostly surrounding the hero's past) they had to face. There was another plot thread which put the heroine's life in danger, and that thread was tied very neatly by the author into the conflict surrounding the hero's past. I can't wait to read the other books in this series and I'll probably read this one again
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5"To Rescue a Rogue", Jo Beverly's Rogue finale, has a promising beginning, with Lady Mara St. Bride showing her spunk in extricating herself from a potentially ruinious situation and enlisting Lord Darius "Dare" Debenham's help. He discretely cleans her up, and suddenly, she determines that she loves Dare and always has. Alas, he sees her in a sisterly way ... though her cleavage impresses him. But wait! he loves her, too! Melodramatic conflict arises in Dare's attempts to conquer his opium addiction and be worthy of her love, and how she pines for him. Rather than her own strength of character, Mara attributes her legendary Black Ademar St. Bride hair as the explanation for her grit. Meanwhile all the Rogues swirl around and Mara is suitably impressed. Can they rescue Dare from Society's censure? Will Mara and Dare ever marry? Will Mara ever stop whining? And what about her tonnish stalker who attempts to rescue Mara from Dare's overly public kiss?Sadly, I found myself rooting for the stalker. Beverly is an otherwise excellent writer, but with this one she fell short.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was another of the ROGUE series by Jo Beverley and was entertaining showing how the characters from previous books come together for Mara and Dare. The love story did not seem to be up to par for J beverley but was enjoyable.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Melodramatic romance. I only listened to it because Simon Prebble was reading it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The story starts off with a bang with Lady Mara St. Bride trying to get into Darius (Dare) Debenham's house, only in her shift and shoeless. Dare rescues her and she decides she has to rescue him from his addiction to repay him and maybe to win him.Dare and Mara are great characters in and of themselves, there were moments where my credulity was stretched a little but the story kept me reading and kept me interested.Overall not a bad read and I look forward to reading more in the series.
