The Right Kind of Rogue had the right kind of mixture of playful and cute with a dash of exasperating which made this a fun read.
Being the 8th book in the Playful Brides series. Each book can stand on it's own, which I really like. There are several characters, who reappear however. I haven't read all of the books yet. I will most likely read them all at some point.
The main one in this book is Lucy Hunt, Duchess of Clarington (from Playful Brides #1). I do like her, though she is terribly meddlesome. And frankly while I find it funny and entertaining to read, in this issue I just wanted to tell her to back the hell off.
The storyline is kinda (okay pretty much) predictable, it the same as many historical romances with this type of heros. And I found myself exasperated with the MCs at times, especially Hart. But all in all I did enjoy it, not matter how cliche or exasperating.
The reason for this is the writing style. Bowman has it down to an art, to throw in just the right amount of annoyment, the right amount of chemistry, and ties it all up in her playful and effervescent writing style. It's fun to read. Thoroughly entertaining.
My only issue is that Hart was a bit spineless.. and I wanted to shake some action into him. He behaves like a spoilt child half of the book. I couldn't really see what Meg saw in him at first. I did change my mind about him and most of all I enjoyed their chemistry.
Meg is sweet and very likable. She has integrity and is very loyal. She made reading the book a pleasure.
I should mention that these books aren't historically very accurate. But for me this doesn't really matter. They are my historical cute & fluffy romp, well written and thoroughly entertaining.
Looking forward to the next installment, which will be about Grimaldi (woot woot)
Sadly it's due only in May 2018 - guess until then I can catch up with the rest of the books in the series...
