Really enjoyed this one
To be honest I wasn’t sure about this one...a con artist and a princess....I just could imagine how that could work and be believable. I read some glowing reviews and decided to give this book a try....so glad I did. The author totally made the story work and feel real. I loved it!

When I started Rogue, I fully expected a RomCom. The emotion, depth, and love so bone deep caught me off guard!
My favorite thing in stories is when the H or h start as flawed characters- people we don’t like even- and we get to watch their growth over time. Charlie is kinda like that, except his character shines through even at his worst. He’s everything I love about Neal Caffry in White Collar and more (minus the extraordinary forgery skills. 😄).
Oh, and I’d be remiss not to mention Jane. She’s genuine. Strong. Independent. Classy- even if she prefers whiskey to champagne. And she’s good.
At 86%, I found myself slowing down my read...I didn’t want it to end!
Bravo, Jessica! You’ve definitely earned a new stalker-fan! I look forward to going back and reading all the rest!

This book was SO good! I found this author when she did a take over at a release party for another author I follow, and I won an e-copy of the second Flings With Kings book. Thats all it took, her writing style and sense of humor fit mine perfectly and she became my latest one click author. I immediately devoured her backlog. Her characters come right off the page. I totally got where Jane was coming from, having been divorced myself, it does take its toll and you feel like a screw up, like you failed in some way. And Charlie *sigh*. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the hero who has to do the wrong things for the right reasons. Thats real life, I don't care who you are, we've all been there, I mean not stealing from rich people probably or anything that extreme, but I get it. He's a bad boy with a great heart. The witty banter between them, and between Jane and Jack had me smiling throughout. Its a fantastic book from a great author, very well rounded with equal parts humor, heart and heat thrown in for a damn near perfect (in my eyes anyway) balance. This author has serious talent, I mean come on, there aren't many (if any) books I've read that have what I'd call a romantically sweet but VERY sexy anal scene lol but she pulled it off magnificently! Their HEA will leave you closing your Kindle with a sigh and desperate for more of her words.

Oh how I love a reformed bad boy! Charlie was swoon-worthy and is absolutely my favorite of all Jessica Peterson's leading men. I adore Princess Jane- I love her spunk, love of whisky, and blackjack abilities. These two together were perfection. It was so much fun to get to see more of the royal family- who doesn't love Monopoly cheaters? Such a fun bunch and Charlie fit right in. I loved Royal Rogue from beginning to end and can't wait for the next book in the series.

4.5 "Live in the lie" Stars!!!
I didn't know what to expect. But then again, considering this was my first Jessica Peterson novel I reeeeeeally didn't know what to expect. Here I was getting enthralled in this sweet, funny and adorable romance when, BAM, I was hit with emotion overload. Once those feels happened there was no stopping the more and more that came after.
Charlie is a con. He deceives people and becomes different personas to obtain what he's after. Charlie didn't want any part in the life he's living. But in order to payoff an obscene debt that has more to do with his brother, he's left no other choice. He's presented a job that'll in fact make the debt paid for. Charlie's beside himself, knowing he'll finally be free and ultimately his conning days will be over. Though, Charlie didn't expect to be captivated by his mark. He didn't expect to develop feelings towards her. And he most definitely didn't expect to have to make the biggest decision of his life that would change everything.
Jane. Princess Jane has been through a very difficult divorce. She's slowly trying to find herself. Learning things about herself she didn't know. The biggest revelation is she doesn't need a man to be happy. Jane always spoke her mind and that's one of the things I liked most about her. She was also brave and strong. And just when Jane has found herself, here comes a tornado of man to obliterate all her senses and makes her question things she thought she tucked away.
Charlie and Jane were every bit different, but ironically they were one in the same. Both caring and kind and above everything, they'd both do anything for their family. I can't even begin to say how much I loved these two. Their chemistry was of the charts. And it was undeniable how perfect they were made for each other. I couldn't get enough and wanted more, more, more.
Royal Rogue was a very enjoyable read. Charming, witty, and fun. Filled with likable characters I couldn't get enough of. Who knew that a thief with a heart of gold would steal mine? I didn't see it coming, but I most certainly wouldn't change a thing.

The Princess and the Farm Boy
This story is one that goes down as an instant favorite. The way things were plotted out showcases the talent this lovely lady possesses. I’ve read my fair share of British tales and this one by far has the best storyline. The passion and adoration jumped off the pages making it hard to put down. So glad to have checked this one out. You won’t be disappointed with this read!

I received this book as an arc and this is my volunteered review.
I wasn't sure about this book at first but once I got in to it I couldn't put it down. The love story of a thief and a princess with a broken soul was heartwarming, how they found each other's true selves even behind all the lies, and even in the face of losing that love they managed to hold on great story.
