The Curious Rogue is just a simple historical romance. The characters are standard to the point that nowadays they would be almost parodies of themselves. You have the dashing rogue, the mature yet innocent maiden and the all the supporting characters who have been waiting for the rogue or maiden to find their true love.

Elizabeth isn’t the most likable of heroines and there wasn’t enough depth to Martin or the Comte de Cavilon. What I did like was that the author didn’t waste my time overly discussing scenery that I have seen in other historical romances. The characters meet, have their standard conflicts and finally find peace together.

This book was a good brain break for me after a very stressful past few weeks so I was easy on the review.
