Rogues

by Delilah Devlin (Editor), Elle James, Megan Mitcham

Rogues! Even the word conjures a special sort of hero--a playful bad boy with a heart of gold--at least when it comes to his lady love. This volume is filled with the Jack Sparrows of old--pirates sailing the high seas, Regency-era highway men, modern-day jewel thieves, like Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief--men doing bad things, bending or breaking the law, but in a very sexy way. With fourteen stories sure to satisfy the reader who craves that ultimate bad boy, prepare to have your heart stolen!

What a smoldering gallery of Rogues from a talented collection of writers! Whether they’re stealing jewels or stealing hearts, this collection of rogues is sure to please.
Entertaining from first story to last, Rogues whisks you on one adventure after another, from sweet to dark and everything in-between.

Megan Mitchum starts it off with “Swindled”, featuring a delicious cat burglar stalked by a detective unable to resists his charms—or can she? Axa Lee comes next with “Opals”, presenting a delightful King of Thieves not quite prepared for the challenge presented to him by the monarch’s mistress. “Her Hearts Tomb” by Jennifer Kasey takes you on an exciting nail-biting adventure in search of a valuable gem and a long-lost love.

“The Highwayman’s Treasure” by Emma Jay gives us a heroic highwayman come to claim his heart’s desire, and “Plunder” by Delilah Night presents a pirate with a secret plan to capture the woman of his dreams. A bootlegger at the door who is impossible to resist is featured in “The Heat” by Mia Hopkins, and “The Highwayman Came Riding” by Ezrabet Bishop explores the line between fantasy and reality.

Take a ride on a riverboat with a handsome card sharp and an intriguing woman set to take him on in “Queen High” by Cela Winter. “Rogue Hearts” by Delilah Devlin explores a woman’s dark fantasy, while ‘Lady of the House” by T.G. Haynes takes an interesting turn during a home invasion. Elle James in “Billionaire and the Jewel Thief” keeps you guessing as to who’s in charge. “An Eye for Love” by Cynthia Young is a classic whodunit, and “Roguishly Handsome and other Superhero Problems” by Tray Ellis is an interesting take on the superhero dilemma. Bib Rizer rounds out the collection with a really interesting version of the Cinderella story in “Glass Slippers, Hardly Worn”.

Delilah Devlin has masterfully collected a group of stories with twists and turns on the handsome-rogue-and-damsel-in-distress theme, which tweak the stories in such a way that at the end you’re left smiling and thinking, That turned out even better than I thought it would. This is light, frothy reading, something to entertain whether you just have a few moments to read just one story at a time or hours to read one after another. No matter how you try it, you won’t be disappointed.

This was a really quick read for me. There are a lot of stories in here but they are all really short, fun reads. There are a lot of different types of rogues/bad boys that the heroines interact with, and sometimes the heroine is a bad girl too. There are a lot of different moods in the different stories but I enjoyed them all. I really liked Elle James' one and a few others. I felt that they were all worth reading and liked the variety. All the stories flow well and they have different endings. Some are happily ever afters and some are just the beginning for them. I felt that they fit their stories and so it worked for me. The stories all flow really well. This was a fun anthology to read.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great collection of very short stories - just right for when you only have a few minutes to read something - like in a waiting room or right before bed.

Delilah Devlin has been my queen of short, sexy, hot stories for quite some time now and Rogue Hearts is another hit for me.
I've been a avid reader of Elle James longer stories and now she come up with a great short story with a twist I didn't anticipate; I loved it!.
(BTW - in case you don't know it already here's a fun tidbit - these two great writers are sisters.)

The current price of 99 cents is worth it for just these two stories but 14 short stories for only 99 cents is a real bargain. Even if the price goes up you'll still be getting a lot of fun stories and you might find a new favorite author among them!

Oh My God! If you want a hot read, look no further! This one will have you sizzling where you sit. Most of these authors, I had read something of theirs in the past. Erzabet Bishop, Emma Jay, and Elle James are frequent go to authors, the others were new. Yep, I have more new faves now. You will get sucked in with the first story and it does not let up. All you can do is white knuckle that Kindle and hang on for the ride. If this anthology doesn’t get your blood pumping in all the right places, check to make sure you still have a pulse.

This is a great collection of fourteen romantic short stories with men behaving badly and the women that fall in love with them. So far I've read Rogue Hearts by Delilah Devlin and Billionaire & The Jewel Thief by Elle James. I enjoyed them both and I'm looking forward to reading more of the stories in this collection.

I was given an ARC for an honest review. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.

A collection of 14 stories that contain rogues from both past and present. These bad boys steal the hearts of women everywhere. The stories are fast paced and with plenty of suspense and steaminess that will keep you glued to your seat until the very end. Loved it!

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. I loved them all. This is an awesome set of stories I could not put down. Each story is a stand alone story with a HEA. I recommend this book to all bad boy lovers. Happy reading.

A wonderful collection of racy shorts that never fails to please; both in terms of variety of settings and the quality of the writing.

Only read the first story and it ended on a ginormous cliffhanger. No thanks. I have no interest in reading the rest of the book since it's an anthology, the rest of the stories more than likely end the same.
