Gentle Rogue

Malory Family, Book 3

By: Johanna Lindsey

Narrated by: Laural Merlington

Heartsick and desperate to leave her sorrows on England's shores, innocent Georgina Anderson seeks passage on the "gentleman's ship", Maiden Anne, disguised as a cabin boy. The captain, however, is no gentleman; he's the ex-pirate and irrepressible rake, James Malory.

The black sheep of a proud, tempestuous family, Malory soon sees through Georgina's masquerade and is enchanted by the courageous, high-spirited lady he has forced into intimate servitude. But though he has sworn he will never be enticed into matrimony, Captain Malory has finally met his match on the high seas - undone by the passionate heart of one remarkable beauty whose love of freedom and adventure rivals his own.

Critic reviews

"A dreamspinner extraordinaire." (Romantic Times)

"High quality entertainment....The charm and appeal of her characters are infectious." (Publishers Weekly)

Great love story.

I loved this book when I read it a few years ago. This is one of my favorite out of Johanna Lindsey's Mallory series.

Narrator was not great for this title

Story required American, English and Scottish accents... narrator spoke with American accent through out. Voice for male lead sounded like a grisly old man.

My Favorite of the Mallory books!

I found this book to be light, enjoyable and funny.

It's fun and sweet. And the characters is well writtin. Worth your time, money or Credit if you wan't the books.

My Favorite Malory Book

Would you consider the audio edition of Gentle Rogue to be better than the print version?
Yes, Listening to Laurel and the different voices is very entertaining. I have gotten so used to her it makes me feel at home.

What other book might you compare Gentle Rogue to and why?
I can't think of any book that has the humor and intrigue as this book. I really enjoyed this whole series, while they are making Netflix movies this series would be amazing.

One of my favorite, however I love her in all of this series, actually I am going to look for more books with her narrating them.

Laugh and love.

Any additional comments?
Great writing, excellent performance I was sad that it came to an end.

Beautiful story

Beautiful love story filled with comedy, hope, miscommunication and adventure! The Mallory/Anderson series is a captivating love story from book to book that draws you into the lives of brave, loyal and charasmatic characters you get to follow over the years (books) and grow with as they each fruit off into stories of happily ever after sweetly connecting to the next book. I highly recommend this series! This book will leave you with a smile, giggle and faith restored in romantic literature.

fun and entertaining

the story was a bit far fetched and some of the events were ridiculous but looking past that it was really entertaining and there were many instances where I thought the dialog extremely amusing! the only issue I had with the narration was that the main character's voice was too guttural and got on my nerves and the narrator's laugh for the men sounded more like someone making fun of Santa Claus but instead of saying "Ho Ho Ho" she said "haw haw haw"
otherwise - moderate spice, slightly frustrating love story but the characters were great. this was a test to see if I could get into this series and I will definitely read another.

Euphoric !!! A thrill right down to your toes.

What made the experience of listening to Gentle Rogue the most enjoyable?

Intriguing, provoking, amusing, sensual & loving. Hard to top.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Gentle Rogue?

The games of James Mallory can't be beat. I do believe he is the most interesting & irresistible character I've ever come across in all my books. I simply adore him.

Have you listened to any of Laural Merlington’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is Laurel Merlington's best performance of the Mallory series. She delivered this story with an amused tone and tenderness. Well done!!!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I find it difficult to pick only one moment in this story. This is my favorite of the Mallory Series.

Any additional comments?

This should be a movie. James & Anthony need their own series. I don't want to ever say goodbye to them.

always a favorite
