Too Dangerous for a Lady Company of Rogues Jo Beverley Books

I have read most of the Rogue books. I purchased this one because I have truly enjoyed them and have read them over and over. However, unfortunately. This book is minimally interesting, the Heroine bland and the hero is not very sparkling either. In fact, the best part of the book is the re-introduction of the previous characters. they sparkle for the brief time that they are on the page.

I have to admit that I finished the book only because I wanted to find out how Uncle Edgar got his wealth and if he was cured. One question was vaguely answered: in the Epilogue!

The siblings in this book are either dead or annoying, the hero's main cohort is boring and he is the hero of the next book! Yikes!

Perhaps it is time to let the Rogues rest? ms Beverly is a wonderful author with wit and intelligence, but I think that she needs new characters that will provide her with the creative spark to write fun and interesting characters. let the Rogues go, it is not fair to those of us who like them and buy books because we like them, only to find that we are wasting our money and our time.

This is a painful review to write because Jo Beverly is one of my favorite authors.....but I am going to be more cautious when I buy her books in the future.

Too Dangerous for a Lady Company of Rogues Jo Beverley Books Reviews

I enjoyed the story of Hermione and Mark, and I think I know why. While many romance stories take modern people and merely dress them in the clothing of bygone centuries, Jo Beverley stories are different. Through her research and skill, readers feel they have stepped into the past. She draws main characters who are authentic, solid, three-dimensional, interesting people, places them in difficult situations, limited to the knowledge and technology of the times, and readers watch to see what will happen.

This particular book should resonate with modern readers. Terrorists are determined to destroy the country and heroes are needed to infiltrate their nests and uncover their plots.

In that turbulent setting, Hermoine Merryhew and Mark Thayne renew their acquaintance and have now seen enough of the world to value, esteem and grow to love each other.

Many of the London-dwelling Company of Rogues put in an appearance. Sometimes characters who return from previous books in a series are just annoying caricatures of themselves, but here they provide a way to advance the story and let readers see their progress. Beth seems to be adjusting to her elevated lifestyle while Arden and Nicholas have learned to play nicely together without so much rivalry.

This isn't a book I will retain to re-read among the Beverley novels I have kept, but it is amusing and worth reading.
I have read all of Jo Beverley's Rogue novels (and all her others too), read and re-read and read again. Most of them I so much enjoyed that I read them a second time right away, as well as again at intervals over the years.

This one not. Too many bones, not enough flesh. Too much "telling" this happened, he was upset; this happened, she was upset. This happened, he did that; this happened, she did something. I yawned. Much of the book felt to me as if the characters were puppets to the intricacies of her plot. And dragging in the parade of Rogues-and-wives on the staircase at the ball seemed useless, irrelevant, the ghosts of past books unsuccessfully haunting this one. (And to no purpose; their own books were much better.)

I did like the heroine's relationship with her uncle as it developed. But it couldn't carry the book, partly because it seemed so external to the Big Plot.

This book is not a keeper. But I look forward to the next one. Meanwhile I think I'll read about Beth and Lucien again, and Simon, and . . . excuse me. I have to go find my JB stash and re-visit some favorites.
The summary title for this review sums up the "feel" of this novel. The beginning chapters and ending chapters move along at a spanking pace with some slow middle chapters that felt like the author had written herself into a corner and needed a plot device to reunite her H/Hr in London for the story's denouement. The love story is based on one meeting at a ball five years before the H/Hr meet again and declare their love amid dangerous adventures before they achieve their happy ending. The hero is written as a committed patriot whose desire to foil a plot by traitorous radicals must take him away from his newly rediscovered love. Although he professes to love the heroine deeply and fear for her safety, he leaves her to her own devices to follow the villains to London. There was a distinct lack of passion in his attitude toward his lady love throughout the book. He wonders if he can give up the excitement of spying for a life of rural domesticity even with the woman he loves.
On the other hand, the heroine is very willing to sacrifice respectability and a secure future for love. One of the book's more powerfully emotional passages is her grief when she mistakenly believes her love is dead. She seems more willing to put all her happiness on the line than he does-thus the title of this review.
The Rogues make appearances in this book, and the hero's very appealing friend is introduced and set up for the next book.
All in all, the plot and the main characters seemed a bit lackluster, and I had to determinedly rather than delightfully read to the end, but I do look forward to the next book, so all's well that ends well.
