Once again...
the book was wonderful, but there were entirely too many errors in this bok. "" Miss. " is the old abbreviation for Mississippi. An unmarried female is "Miss," no period. And there were many more. This author needs a copy editor with a good working knowledge of English grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

A fantastic book. A must read.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading THE WIDOW AND THE ROGUE. Beau is handsome and dashing, while Kathleen is beautiful and strong. The Irish history and legendary superstitions is thrilling and pirate's treasure great fun.

A good story
The storyline is a bit different for romance of the Genre which makes it all the more appealing to me. It's a story of overcoming abuse and taking control of your own life.

I was looking forward to Lady Kathleen Langtry's story, but I was rather disappointed by this. The writing was uneven & sometimes rather stilted.

Review
I was so absorbed in this story. It kept me on the edge of my seat multiple times while still incorporating the human and emotional aspects! Loved it!

fairly standard but satisfying romance if you're looking for some old fashioned wooing and a really nice, considerate hero (no alpha-a-hole nonsense!).
the heroine is a widow who's finally escaping the oppressive clutches of her lecherous husband (yay widowhood!), and the dude happens to be the legal guardian of her husband's estate. he basically rescues her from all her Terrible Relatives and they hang around in Dublin. the heroine and hero are both quite nice people who deserve nice things, and they fall in love and everything's great. ALSO PIRATES. SERIOUSLY PLOT RESOLUTION HAPPENS VIA SUDDEN PIRATES. it's g8.
edit: forgot to mention, yes this is the lady who saved the heroine in the first book. YAY!

Not Emotionally Connecting
This book was funny, adventurous, & romantic. However, the widow (Kathleen) didn't really talk at all. Most of the book was listening in on her thought process. She never really tells anyone about her childhood trauma, experience, memories, & subsequent marriage. I did not find this book as good as the previous one. I didn't connect to the character whatsoever didn't feel the emotions as I was reading which is why I gave this book a 2 star rating.

Charming
The story was touching; the reader couldn’t help feeling sympathy towards the heroine who had suffered so greatly. However, the dialogue was simplistic and often artificial. I enjoyed the intrigue and suspense of the story. But I felt the character and personality of the hero to be under developed; he seemed lacking in depth and sincerity.
