Truth to tell, I have mixed feelings about Jo Beverly's latest Rogue book. On the one hand, it is an extremely well written and satisfying examination of love that develops between strangers forced by circumstances to marry (strangers from different social classes at that); on the other hand, however, for its length, I felt (traitorously) that "The Rogue's Return" rather lacked depth and complexity.

Unlike the rest of his family, Simon St. Bride has always longed for adventure (which he found plenty of in Canada). Now, however, it is time to think of returning home to England and being with his family once again; also, having gathered evidence of fraud and misappropriation of funds at the Indian Affairs Department, Simon is eager to get the evidence to England, where, hopefully something concrete will be done about this shameful state of affairs. Unfortunately only days before he is set to leave, he finds himself not only fighting a duel with the very man he suspects of the embezzlement, but also, because of a set of tragic circumstances, forced to marry his mentor's orphaned niece, Jane (Jancy) Otterburn. Simon is in a bind: he knows very little about Jancy, save that she is capable, rather attractive and that she comes from a social class much lower than his own. but he feels obligated to marry the young lady in spite of his misgivings. As for Jancy, much as she admires Simon, he obvious aristocratic background fills her with unease, especially since she's hiding a secret that could prove the undoing of her. For Jancy is not who she claims to be, and lives in dread of being unmasked, especially

to the husband she has come to love quite deeply...

I enjoyed "The Rogue's Return" on several levels.

Jo Beverley once again shows her great storytelling ability and pleases her fans by returning to The Rogues Series to tell Simon St. Bride's story. The love between Simon and Jancy is so sweet and seductive; you can't get enough of them! It is great to have glimpses of Hal Beaumont and Lord Darius (Dare), but if there is one disappointment it is in not having The Rogues reunite to help these characters out. Taking the series to Canada was very interesting, but the story seemed to go flat, or too fast, once returning to England. I was so hoping to have the head Rogue, Nicholas Delaney and the Roguettes (wives of The Rogues) work to clear Jancy's troubled past and those plaguing her, as in the other books of this series. A totally enjoyable read, but one that makes you wish there was more.

Beset by illness, danger and death, a socially disparate couple finds unexpected love in this sweet and captivating romance. An easy pace and an abundance of interesting historical details add to the charm of the story, the latest entry in the "Company of Rogues" series. Rogues' member Simon St. Bride, oldest son of a wealthy aristocratic family, has been in Canada for four years investigating corruption for the British government. He is about to return home to England with his findings, when he becomes involved in a duel with the very man who is his principal suspect. The duel is over Simon's suggestion that the man is an embezzler, but it really started when the man questioned the virtue of Jane Otterburn. Jane is a reserved young woman who recently came from England to live with her Uncle Isaiah following the deaths of her mother and cousin. Simon also lives with Isaiah, who is his close friend and mentor. Before the duel is completed, Simon is called away because Isaiah accidentally shot himself and is dying. He had been preparing his dueling pistol so that he could take Simon's place in defending Jane's honor.

With his dying breath, Isaiah asks Simon to marry Jane because she is now all alone in the world. Simon agrees, partly out of guilt and partly out of respect, and they are wed immediately. Simon is soon quite taken with the enigmatic Jane, who is no long so reserved and is at times quite assertive. What Simon does not know is that Jane is really her cousin Jancy, known as Nan. Jancy switched identities when her cousin died aboard ship, because she feared being on her own in a new country. She thought Isaiah might not welcome her, or feel it improper for her to live with him, since she was not a blood relative. Now Jancy does not know what to do.

I've loved them all, even Nicholas, King Rogue, whose saga "An Arranged Marriage" is perhaps the most disturbing of all Beverley's Rogues. This time around, the protaganist is Simon St. Bride, who has been merely a reference in previous tales while off in the wilds of Canada. To fulfill his promise to a dying man, he marries Jane, who (we learn long before he does) is not at all what she seems. Of course, their marriage evolves into the real thing (this is, after all, a romance), but along the way the reader encounters intrigue, betrayal, lies, conceits, tangles, misunderstandings and cross-purposes--ah, the path to true love! One can begin the Company of Rogues series with this book, even though it is the second-to-last tale, because it is not directly connected to the European goings-on of the time, as the other books are. Nevertheless, I recommend beginning, as they say, at the beginning, with Beverley's "An Arranged Marriage" (a much darker tale) and moving forward from there. Still, although a bit richer when read in context, this novel stands alone quite well. As always, Beverley delivers a well-written, cleverly plotted, and sublimely romantic page-turner.
