5.0 out of 5 stars Negligent chaperone books
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2014

I loved both books in this series. The Heir & The Spare was excellent, but I think I like the Rogue and the Rival more. I won't do a recap of the story, you can read the book description for that. But you have to read them in order to appreciate Phillip's story. He was the worst sort of scoundrel in the first one, and to see the transformation in the second, all because of the love of a good woman was a joy to read. A woman who had her own sad past and demons to overcome. They help each other and overcome them together. I love stories where the rakes are "brought up to scratch" by the right woman. I just loved Phillip in this story, which is saying a lot after his behavior in the first book. You get to see how he became the rake he was, and understand his feelings. I love Maya Rodale's books. Her story telling and character development are a joy to read.

When I began reading this book, I thought this was going to be the first true 5-star I've read in a while. The hero and heroine were introduced so well, but above all, the romance was so perfectly developed. The author took the time to allow the hero and heroine to get to know one another (and themselves) and to truly fall in love. Their thoughts were intelligent and clever and I was absolutely impressed.

And then came their separation...and it just seemed like a bit of a different book for me then because the heroine seemed different. I think it was because of the conflict that was put in there. The heroine frustrated me and I didn't understand why she didn't understand that the hero had been trying to protect her and had no choice in what happened. I wanted to knock her on the head a couple of times. As the story progressed, I thought, "Why don't you just get a leash and jerk this guy around a little more so he can prove himself to you?" Thank goodness we saw the hero find his spine again and remain a lovable character at the same time.

I also wasn't sure that the development of Lord Frost's character was consistent...I think he should have been evil and disturbed or confused and heartbroken, but not a combination because in my mind it just didn't seem to fit - that could very well be a point, however, that is perceived quite differently by others.

Also, the way everything with the women turned out was almost too convenient. The hero had changed, the reader understood that, and if he actually, truly used a girl in the past, I think the reader would forgive him.

In spite of my annoyances, this was a very good book and a worthwhile read. I read the predecessor to this book and I believe this author is very talented and I will definitely continue reading her stories.

Maya you did it again, took a perfectly good scoundrel and made him a scoundrel in love!! Angela is a passionate women who's mistake not only hurts her but her family as well. Banished she has only two choices, live in an Abby or become a mistress to the man who ruined her. After years she meets another man that will test her ability to trust again, Phillip. When these too are around each other it is electric and hilarious! This book follows The Heir and The Spare, you will benefit from reading these books in order!! Great job Maya Rodale, keep the amazing books coming!

5.0 out of 5 stars Phillip is a dark character with very little redeeming qualities and no love for his twin Devon

It is the continuation of a story about a character in her book The Heir and the Spare. The heroes of these books are twins with issues and I found them both fascinating. In the first book, Phillip is a dark character with very little redeeming qualities and no love for his twin Devon. In this book we watch Phillip learn to be a good man and a brother to his twin. I loved both books. Both had truly amazing heroines that brought out the best in each twin.
