BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY: To Surrender To A Rogue by Cara Elliott (Book Review 2010-98)

By 108 Comments

Product Description

An expert in antiquities, Lady Alessandra della Giamatti arrives in Bath to excavate newly discovered Roman ruins-only to find herself caught in a web of evil intrigue by a blackmailer threatening to expose her scandalous past. The one man who can help her is Lord James “Black Jack” Pierson, a fellow member of the expedition and a sinfully handsome rogue whose tempting presence ignites a different sort of danger.

Jack has clashed with Alessandra in the past, so when she suddenly surrenders her body he can’t help being suspicious. Is she a scheming temptress? Or is she truly a lady in trouble? As desire and deceptions swirl around them, Alessandra and Jack must find a way to win each other’s trust. For if they don’t work together to uncover a shocking truth, their enemy-and their own simmering passions-may destroy them and everything they cherish.

(2010)

LOVED  IT

I am late to the party as far as author Cara Elliott is concerned, but it won’t take me long to catch up.  Even though this is the second book in the series, I had no trouble becoming immediately involved with the characters.  There is wonderful dialogue and a lot of action.  And I mean A LOT of action.  The fighting between the two leads, Alessandra and James, either leads to bed or apologies.  I also enjoyed the historical setting of Bath and England during the nineteenth century and I love to read about strong, independent women, so this one fit the bill nicely.

  15. I found out that Cara Elliott is a relatively new pen name for her. She has also written some books as Andrea Pickens. They look good too, she describes them as a cross between James Bond and Jane Austen! Fun!

  81. Cara and Lauren Willig, another historical romance author, gave a seminar called “Reading the Historical Romance Novel” at Yale. Unfortunately, I can no longer find the video taken of it.

  82. Please enter me! I’d love to read this book.

    I’ve read Cara’s SPY novels written as Andrea Pickens. They’re great with lots of action, excitement and, of course, romance.
