I am a "read in order" reader. I have to start with book one and if I can start with the author's first book written I will. Maybe I'm too curious...or nosey...I don't ever want to miss a thing...

ONE TOO MANY ROGUES
(Rival Rogues: Book 1)
written by Samantha Grace
genre: historical fiction, historical romance, romance
3 STARS
Gabby has loved Anthony, her brother's best friend, for as long as she can remember. When they are alone she thinks he may feel for her what she feels for him, but when her brothers appear he becomes aloof. Anthony has already broke Gabby's heart once by marrying another woman. When he becomes a widower he promises Gabby he will marry her but has to go do one thing before he can ask her brothers for her hand in marriage. Feeling abandoned she lets Sebastian, a rogue, charm her into letting him court her. When Anthony finds out Sebastian they begin a wager for Gabby's heart and hand.
First of all - while this is a novel in a new series the series is connected with her first series, Beau Monde Bachelor. This novel may reveal some of the plots from her previous novel. Gabby's brothers have their story in that series.
I enjoyed this novel but I kept getting this sense of Im missing some of the story due to the fact Grace hints at backstories (as I have said above). I also did not care for Gabby that much. She seemed to create her own problems and then was confused as to why she was in a pickle. Anthony also dragged things out so much I did not blame Gabby for wanting Sebastian for simplicity. I think I will start at the beginning with Samantha Grace and see if I like her first novel any better.
