I love the characters individually, but I wasn't fond of the premise of their romance, and books where being smitten as children elide the introduction frustrate me. This one was better than others in that they still show that introduction and show how the characters' dynamics have stayed the same or changed over time, what that means for each of them, that Ballentine's needling of Lucie is an aspect of trying to get and keep her attention - but his proposition was still a slightly sour taste in my mouth. I also was not fond of how the dynamic with Arthur played out, and feel that he as a character could have been better than his stereotypical outcome.

A Rogue of One's Own sees Lady Lucie, a suffragette who has just bought half of the shares of London Print, going head to head with the notorious rogue Tristan. Who owns the other half of the shares of London Print. It's hate at first sight, since there's no way that a nobleman would ever support the suffragette cause, or help repeal the married women's property act. And there's no way he'll let her publish anything radical in their co-owned newspaper, would he? Until, he offers her a deal to become the majority stakeholder in London Print. But will she take it, and what will happen if she does?

Charming romance mixed with interesting historical facts, not quite as heart rending as the first one, still plenty sexy
