The Dangerous Love of a Rogue by Jane Lark is the fifth book in a series called Marlow Intrigues. The novel is an historical fiction piece meant to be a love story. The two main characters are Mary and Drew.
Drew is Lord Andrew Framlington. He is broke and has been relying on his friends to help keep him in the lifestyle. He is a rogue in that he doesn’t follow the rules of society and will do most anything. However, he has decided he is going to marry Mary, the sister of Pembroke. He has never been introduced to her and has decided on her nonetheless.
Lady Mary Pembroke is naive and has a large dowry. Her father and brother have warned Mary to stay away from Drew. They have noticed Drew’s interest in her and know he is a rogue. Drew finds ways to speak with her and peaks her interest.
The book is a romance, so we know what is going to happen. I didn’t find Drew (arrogant ass) and Mary (naive and clueless) likeable. I was curious how the book was going to come together and finished reading it. The ending is what you would expect, but without liking the characters, it was okay. The Dangerous Love of a Rogue was an okay read, perhaps if I read the prior books I would be more all in with the storyline.
