Summary: Passion, adventure and humor
Comment: I wish I had never read this book so I could read it for the first time again and again. But as I have read it more than 10 times by now and I know every line and paragraph, I must be content to encounter the magic the 11th time, the 12th time... and so on.
This is my favourite JL book. For me, it is the perfect romance, it has everything: love, passion, laughs, adventure. The characters and storyline are perfect: the ex-pirate rogue - that's gentleman pirate, pardon me James :) - , British lord on the side, handsome, sarcastic, who has sworn never to get married and who thinks no woman will be more to him than a mistress, meets his equal and downfall in an adventurous American girl, who hates all things English and aristocratic, as she is forced to impersonate his cabin boy in order to get home to America. They fight, they laugh, they make love, but - of course - they cannot be together since he's not ready yet to commit himself and she knows this.
The situation she is put in as his cabin boy (of course he knows she's a woman, but there are so many possibilities to this seduction game that he cannot resist), as she slowly grows attracted to him and doesn't even know it yet, generate endless laughs. Georgina has a funny way of talking to herself (or to her conscience), like Megan in Man of my Dreams, which allows you to know her for the wonderful funny and smart girl that she is and makes you understand why James falls for her. As for the other way around, what girl wouldn't fall in love with a handsome pirate who happens to make you feel like you're in heaven, makes you laugh and gives you everything you want?
After she leaves him just as he was about to propose to her to be his mistress ("Good God, James, you were going to go *that* far?" as his friend Connie puts it), he realizes he can't part with her just yet and makes a wonderful scene in front of all her five brothers at a big party, thus allowing himself to be "forcefully" wed to her - and then prompty thrown into jail for his pirating acts. Georgina breaks him out of jail and he "abducts" her (quote since she doesn't resist the abduction and his apparent reasons for taking her are more than forced) and takes her back to his home in England. Here, he is forced to introduce his new wife to his family (remember Regan, Tony, Roslynn?) whose reactions vary from disbelief to stupefaction and happiness. They slowly come to terms with each other and accept their love.
The journey is so wonderful, you wouldn't want to change anything in the story. I cannot praise Ms. Lindsey skill enough on this one.

Summary: Enchanting
Comment: I found this book absolutely wonderful. This was the fifth Malory novel I've read and I loved it. This is the story of James Malory, the family ex-pirate, and Georgina Anderson, a heartbroken American. Did I mention James is English? Ms. Lindsey has brought to life two very lovable characters. I laughed at the antics of James and his brother Anthony. And when Connie, friend of James, is added to the mix it is downright hilarious. The love scenes between James and Georgina are without a doubt superb. There is so much tenderness between the two. You will fall in love with them as they fall in love with each other. Tender Rebel, the Malory novel with Anthony as the main character, is closely tied to Gentle Rogue. Some parts of the story overlap with Tender Rebel. The parts are so entertaining though I'm sure you won't mind. Oh, one other thing, once you read one Malory novel you'll be hooked and have to read them all!!!!:o)
Rating: 5
Summary: Well Written and extremely Funny!
Comment: If you are in for a light-humourous novel which lack drama and all that emotional stuff, then this is the book u are looking for. The Malories and Andersens are two eccentric families who are devoted to their own blood with fierce determination. Georgina is the sister of 5 Andersen brothers. Surely, u know wat that small detail suggests=) Their protectiveness toward George will be put onto test when James dared to touch their baby sister. Of course, we can't deny the additional fact of the presence of the Malory clan. It will be chaos when the two families meet. I didn't recognize Lindsey's writing in this novel. She absolutely did a good job and this is probably her best. If she's not good with drama, I assure u, it is because she's better on making people laugh than crying and thank God for that!
