Narrative Conducive To Books Lady Rogue
Dear Reader,
Some people grow up wanting to be lion tamers or astronauts. I've always wanted to be a writer. One day, during a slow afternoon at my day job, I thought: What would I write? Inspiration struck . . . an earl who fell in love with a spy!
And thus Lady Rogue was born.
Christine "Kit" Brantley is masquerading as a boy because her mission is to spy on Alexander Cale, the Earl of Everton. It doesn't take long for Alex to see through her disguise. Who would mistake this enchanting, albeit cheeky, chit for a lad? Alex is determined to discover the real reason Kit is in London, but as he's dragged into one escapade after another, he finds himself succumbing to her charm and spirit.
I love this book, and I love the new package. In my mind it's a depiction of the first time Kit puts on a ball gown, and the way Alex Cale feels when he first sees her as a lady . . .
Ah, me, now I'm getting sentimental.
Enjoy!
Suzanne Enoch
P.S. Oh, and Lady Rogue also marks the debut of Mr. Francis Henning, who's made an appearance in every historical I've written since.

Disappointing romance with too many improbabilities and too many historical goofs.In the introduction, Ms Enoch notes that this was her debut novel and it still holds a special place in her heart. That's as may be, but whether it's her first or her fifth, the weaknesses remain.Women-dressed-as-boys has become a tired, cliched HR narrative device. Perhaps it fits in with the stock ugly-duckling theme, in which a commoner with no hope of marrying an aristocrat turns out to be a blue-blood. In thisI enjoyed this story, but I'm fond of the plot device of young girl masquerading as a boy. The author interchanges first name, last name, and honoric titles frequently, and it is a bit confusing until you remember all the various characters. The plot moves along at a reasonable pace for the most part. This was the first book I've read by Suzanne Enoch, and I will definitely read more of her books.
I guess every author has a "miss" every now and again. I think this was only the 3rd book that Suzanne Enoch ever published. The concept of a young lady posing as a boy to help her father spy on an earl...I think in the back of my mind, I thought it was clever, but I found reading it uncomfortable. I didn't like imagining Kit in menswear throughout almost the entire book. Part of the reason I'm attracted to historical novels is because I enjoy imagining the ladies' grace, restraint (publicly,
A female who disguises herself as a boy and who has seemed to have gotten away with her disguise. Absolutely could not put down the book though I had to many times. It had a few good twists to the story.
Doesn't this book just look and sound lame? I got it because I like gender-benders almost as much as long walks on the beach (meaning I've never done it but never tire of hearing about it as it always makes me giggle one way or another)Anywho, the book was great. The wit wasn't forced, the story was solid, the characters weren't annoying. This is rare in romance novels.
More like 3.5 stars..rounded up.This is my first Suzanne Enoch novel and I came to learn that this was also her debut novel. Im happy to report that I greatly enjoyed it and if the reviews of her other books are correct I know that I will only enjoy her books all the more.This book is a mix of romance, mystery, adventure, and comedy. Miss Enoch put a lot into this book however there were moments in the middle where it felt like nothing much was happening. I couldnt understand why it felt like
