A Rogue of One's Own is a perfect sequel to Bringing Down the Duke. I found the character development to be amazing and it's quite evident that the author conducted a lot of research before writing this novel. I was inspired by all of the work performed by suffragists like Lady Lucie on behalf of women. I found this novel to be even better than the first!

I liked the first book in the series, but I had some serious problems with it, so I was willing to give the sequel a try. Unfortunately it just wasn't good. It started out fine but I didn't really like Tristan and I hated the fact that the only LGBTQ character in the book was the villain. Not to mention the blatant cultural appropriation with Tristan's tattoo. I won't be picking up the next book in the series.

Unfortunately this book is just not for me. I was hoping I didn’t need to read the first book but you definitely do. I felt lost much of the time due to this.

This was quite the ride. It took me quite a while to get into. Once I did, I really enjoyed the middle of the book. Then the end seemed to drag on forever. Overall, I think this book was just way too long. I didn't feel like the woman's suffrage storyline and the romance storyline were intertwined well. Parts of them were, but overall they felt like separated stories. I loved the first book, so I was a little disappointed that this one didn't live up to it. I am hoping Hattie's book will be better.

3.5 stars
I received this book for free in return for an honest review.

DNF

The opening of this failed to capture me. The hero is a rather stereotypical rake, but he came off as smarmy more than anything, and I really did not want him with the heroine. Worse, the gay villain with a crush on him offended me. I quit also due to the feedback about the way Indian culture is used in the story.

This is the sequel to Bringing Down the Duke, and I thought it was a long but entertaining read.  It started out with Tristan being quite scandalous, which I was SO excited about.  However he tamed down really quick (womp womp).  I loved Lucie's story and with how tough and serious she is reading her soften up and find the balance of love with fighting for women's rights.  The ending was amazing -- I just wish it was about 100 pages shorter! lol!

Well Evie Dunmore fans - the first book was good, but this book is better! I loved this one and will be featuring it on my recommendation shelf over and over again. The chemistry between Lucie and Tristan is steamy and the character development and the plot will keep even the pickiest of readers satisfied.

A good solid romance that flowed beautifully by the utterly lovely Evie Dunmore. I do think for more enjoyment, readers should read the previous installment with this series!

A Rogue of One’s Own was as amazing, salacious and enjoyable as I anticipated after reading the first of the series. A Rogue of One’s Own is about Lady Lucie, who i had so many questions about after the first book, so I was very excited to read it. I didn’t know what her deal was other than what she did for her band of suffragists. But this book really paints her in a different way as she battles Tristan in the boardroom and the bedroom! A must read!!!

This book was pretty good. I think I enjoyed the first novel of the series a little more, but this was still interesting. The first half felt a little slow, but it picked up!

I really enjoyed A Rogue of One’s Own! I had not read Bringing Down the Duke yet, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this fun historical rom com standalone. And I will definitely be picking up Bringing Down the Duke soon now!

I loved that this, while definitely historical as its main character is a key suffragist in London, did not feel stuffy like historical fiction tends to (for me anyway). It felt like a light read even while focusing on very important subject matter of their time. And of course, has the perfect steamy scenes too!

Highly recommend this to any romance lover!

I absolutely hated this book. I tried reading the book #1 in the series and barely go through it. I read maybe 100 pages before giving up and deleting it from my Kindle.

Man I was looking forward to this alot, but I could not get into the "gay character is villain for wanting one of the leads" trope that I had to put it aside. It was obvious and completely took me out of the moment. It felt stale and cringey. I just couldn't get past it, so I have to put this aside. I can't recommend it.

Lucie has always gone against the grain, pushed limits, made new boundaries and never took no for an answer. She has a spark for life that draws eye and an intelligence that makes heads spin. For a old spinster Lucie’s fiesty spirit has caused Tristan to rethink his life choices.

Unable to fix his family situation Tristan has no choice but to find a bride, per his fathers orders. Filling the urge to to defy orders, he finds a woman that is full of fire, passion and the ability to talk circles around anyone. Tristan never thought he would find a wife in Lucie.

Their relationship goes way back to the days of youth through years apart and suddenly being dropped right back into the fire. The two connect on a level that brings out fire and intrigue whenever together. The chemistry between Lucie and Tristan is clear from page one, they both bond over less than desired social situations. The relationship is full of quirks, sparring, intrigue and love. A quick plot along with great secondary characters remind us of historical time period that we all love. There a few personal preferences that I find slightly off but it does not distract from the story line. I would recommend A Rogue of One’s Own to historical readers who like a light afternoon read.

I have often struggled with reading historical romance, but I absolutely adored Evie Dunmore's TAKING DOWN THE DUKE last year. So I was looking forward to A ROGUE OF ONE'S OWN. Little did I know that I would end up loving this book even more than the first one! I was absolutely hooked on Lucie and Tristan's stories -- their own individual narratives, plus the explosive and steamy chemistry that simmers between them. Their banter is top notch, and their romance intense. I can't say enough good things about this book, but I am already eager to re-read it again. I was hooked on this story and willingly sacrificed sleep to keep reading it (which should say a lot, since I have 4-month-old twins, so sleep is already hard to come by)! A ROGUE OF ONE'S OWN was simply a joy to read.

What a great read! I loved Lucie and Tristan's story. I will say I thought there would be a lot more will they won't they in this book, but I think because I read it in one sitting it didn't seem like much. That's on me though! Evie Dunmore is amazing and I wish she had more books out to binge while I anxiously await Hattie's story!

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review!

Another great Suffragette romance from Evie Dunmore! I really enjoyed Lucie and Tristan's relationship and Lucie's bond with her cat, Boudicca. Lucie and Tristan are such complex, strong characters.

This is a classic enemies to lovers read, which is always a favorite of mine. I will say there is a strong TW/CW for animal/cat cruelty (not Boudicca) that really felt unnecessary to describe in the level of detail used.

A Rogue of One's Own can be read as part of the series or on its own. I can't wait to read Hattie's story next!

Without the animal cruelty, this would have been a solid 4.

Evie Dunmore does it again! I consider her to be the queen of Historical Romance - as does my aunt who reads these too! Which, should show how compelling Evie is: I'm 25, and my aunt is 65, and both of us adored this book! I think Evie blends feminism perfectly into these romances - this isn't your doe-eyed Bambi waiting to be saved, this is your STRONG woman who HAPPENS to find a man, but isn't defined by one. I absolutely adored this!

I really loved book 1 of this series and I thought I was going to love this one but the hero rubbed me the wrong way from the beginning, I thought his story was unbelievable and I really hate when children fall in love with each other. I'll still give the author's next book a chance!

Didn't love it, but definitely liked it. I felt the same way about the first book in this series. There is just something about the writing style that doesn't work for me. The story is good though so I will still read the next book when it's available!
