The Rogue You Know is perfect for the adult who still loves Disney. It follows the story line of Tangled quite closely, but it still throws you for loops and catches you off guard. I found myself falling in love with the book, and I honestly couldn't put it down!
Our lead, Lady Susanna, does not have extremely long hair, but she does have a overly protective mother. Susanna has the expected need to rebel. It's only for one night, but she wants to go to Vauxhall Gardens, where her mother was rumored to have fallen in love. Unfortunately, she had no one to take her... until Gideon breaks into her older brother's study.
Gideon has lived a life on the streets, and he happens to be a fantastic thief. He wants out however, and decides to steal a expensive necklace for an accomplice in exchange for enough money to start off fresh some place far from London. The thief encounters a snag however, and has several different groups of people after him. He decides to hide the loot at Susanna's home.
With the mighty use of a candlestick holder, Susanna is able to hide the necklace from Gideon and persuade him to take her to the gardens in exchange. Gideon reluctantly agrees, and the two start off on a grand adventure. They learn about each other as well as themselves. The spark between them is undeniable and the pair must face pretty incredible odds.
This book was wonderful to read! It got to me from so many angles! I love historical romances, Disney, and heroes who never quite feel like they deserve the one they love! This book was exciting almost the entire time. Also, I can't believe I'm only adding this at the end because it was a huge part of the book, there is an adorable dog along for the whole story! K9 lovers will absolutely adore this book!
