Loving Rose: The Redemption Of Malcolm Sinclair (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
A gentle story, slow-moving, but romantic. To begin, a man is somehow tortured, then cast onto the shore just in time to be rescued by a monk and his charges reaping seaweed. After a long recovery, he re-enters society (very slightly) by returning to a house he had purchased under a second name (Thomas)..an addition clue that this was not a "nice" man.But - what? There is a woman (Rose) and two children living in his house, where he left an older couple? As a man who has told a lie or so, he recognizes that there are some mysteries, but decides to let it go until he learns more.From there, the pace of the book picks up, and the layers of suspence deepen. As danger to the Rose increases, Thomas uses experience he gained in his previous career. As things pick up, the story moves to London, players are added, and in a final explosion of action, some additional players change from villians to heros, and at long last, the lovers are able to continue the love that began in the country house far away, socially, culturally. and in distance This was a much better read than Montague's story. I was very disappointed in that one because it was more about Penelope and Barnaby than Montague. Thankfully that isn't the case here. This one is all about the redemption of Malcom Sinclair. It was an interesting read for that reason. Taking a former villain and making him a hero is a unique and challanging story. I think it is fairly well pulled off here. Ms. Lauren's stories have been formulaic recently and this one isn't. I was once again reading a unique story. As always, she does a good job of inserting a mystery element. These mystery elements are what have driven my interest in her stories more so of late than the romance. The romance seems to succumb to the mystery and sex. While I enjoy those elements I just wish she could draw me in to the characters love more.

Quick easy read - with focus on the story rather than sexual descriptions

This male narrator didn't bother me as much as the previous one did.
