I first read Julie Anne Long way back in 2012. I jumped into her Pennyroyal Green series with book 6, How the Marquess was Won. And let me just tell you, I fell in love with her writing. So, when I was given the opportunity to become part of her ARC team I jumped at it. Julie's latest release is How to Tame a Wild Rogue. It's part of her Palace of Rogues series. Book 6 to be precise, and it's my favorite of the series.
It's always fun to come back to a series that has characters that flow in all the books because you get to see them grow and change, even if they're not the main focus of the current story. In this one, Lorcan and Daphne are the main characters, but lordy! We get a lot of Angelique, Bolt, Delilah and Capt. Hardy. And the scenes with them were MAGNIFICENT!!!! There was this one sequence where all of our couples were not getting along and they all end up elsewhere (I'm trying to be vague to not spoil it for you LOL). This showed us how much the original 4 have grown and changed and how they love each other. I smiled like a loon with it.
But I guess I should talk about Lorcan and Daphne since this book focuses on them LOL They were opposites in so many ways, yet they had a lot in common. And most importantly, they just wanted to be loved (even if Lorcan didn't realize at first he wanted that). It was really neat that he was a pirate - I have a thing for pirates ;) And it was even neater that all the men at the Grand Palace on the Thames knew Lorcan before he got there. Did they all like him? I'm not going to say, you need to read it to find out.
As I said, this was my favorite in this series. I can't imagine Julie could top this for me. Unless it's with a book for Dot. Or Mr. Delacourte LOL Go find a copy of this and enjoy it!
Until next time...
