Week 17 Review: The Virgin and the Rogue

From Goodreads:
Continuing her bestselling Rogue Files series, Sophie Jordan brews up a scintillating romance about a timid wallflower who discovers a love potion and ends up falling for a dashing rogue.

A love potion…

Charlotte Langley has always been the prudent middle sister, so her family is not surprised when she makes the safe choice and agrees to wed her childhood sweetheart. But when she finds herself under the weather and drinks a "healing" tonic, the potion provokes the most maddening desire... for someone other than her betrothed.

With the power…

Kingston's rakehell ways are going to destroy him, and he's vowed to change. His stepbrother's remote estate is just the place for a reformed rogue to hide. The last thing he wants is to be surrounded by society, but when he gets stuck alone with a wallflower who is already betrothed... and she astonishes him with a fiery kiss, he forgets all about hiding.

To alter two destinies.

Although Charlotte appears meek, Kingston soon discovers there's a vixen inside, yearning to break free. Unable to forget their illicit moment of passion, Kingston vows to relive the encounter, but Charlotte has sworn it will never happen again—no matter how earth-shattering it was. But will a devilish rogue tempt her to risk everything for a chance at true love? 

My Review:
This book is another great read in this series, and I'm glad that we're getting the other two Langley sister's story, Charlotte in this book, and Nora in the next! I can't wait, because these girls are just so great to read about!

Charlotte is about to marry the man she's grown up with. But then she's given an aphrodisiac, and her passions awaken, with Kingston. Their interactions were pretty hilarious, and steamy as well. The first half was more the physical side, but the second was more the emotional, and I really enjoyed that balance.

At first glance, these aren't characters who would get together. She's steady, and her sisters think she's kinda boring. Kingston is a rake, he was pretty wild, though he doesn't want that anymore-but he doesn't want domesticity, either. It was a great journey to read about them going on!

There was something right at the end, and we never got an explanation for it. Sure, most likely it could've been a simple mistake, or it could've been someone trying to hurt them. And I just have no idea which it was!

Really enjoyed this book, it was a lot of fun to read and I really enjoyed it!
