It’s too early to say Johanna Lindsey is going to be in my favorite authors yet. I have read so many historicals that I didn’t think I’d find anything more to like but this one just hit me at the right spot.

I found out about this book from Sarah Maclean’s Top 100 book recommendations (link here) and I’m so glad I did! This book is wonderful. 4 of 5 stars to Gentle Rogue by Johanna Lindsey ★★★★ Simple but at least not tacky (like most historicals are). But on the high seas his resolve will be weakened by an unrestrained passion and by the high-spirited beauty whose love of freedom and adventure rivals his own.Ĭover art: 3/5 stars. The black sheep of a proud and tempestuous family, the handsome ex-pirate once swore no woman alive could entice him into matrimony. Heartsick and desperate to return home to America, Georgina Anderson boards the Maiden Anne disguised as a cabin boy, never dreaming she’ll be forced into intimate servitude at the whim of the ship’s irrepressible captain, James Mallory.
