I like a rogue who isn't ready to settle down, but who meets the right woman and all he can think of is that he'd settle down with HER. That would be very romantic. :-)

Please enter me. To answer the question, the kind of rogue I'd like to be was an alpha womanizer of the highest degree!

I like an alpha rogue that learns to be a better person throughout the story. Of course this coincides with meeting a heroine that is smart and independent within the framework of a historical novel.

I like a rogue like Rhett Butler that is tall dark and handsome but deep down has a heart of gold.

I like a rogue with a soft spot for children - that says a lot about his character.

Submitted by Margo Maguire (not verified) on February 27, 2011 - 12:15pm.

That's interesting - because this rogue (The Rogue Prince) falls for the heroine's two little children almost as much as for her. They are part of the package he falls in love with, and a large part of the reason why he becomes conflicted about carrying out his revenge scheme. :-)

There is a little girl in Seducing the Governess, too. She's the hero's shy, withdrawn, orphaned niece, and he doesn't know quite what to do with her. He's a former army captain, and he's brought a bunch of ex-soldiers home to his estate with him. They're all unemployed after Waterloo, so he figures this is a way to keep them housed and fed. Now, enter the governess, (appalled that the little girl is being "managed" by a bunch of former soliders) and who figures a way to help uncle and niece overcome the walls that keep them apart.

I like my Rogues to be sensitive, yet still know exactly what to do to make a lady happy :)

Such a great question - what kind of rogue would you be? Or be with?

I think you'll love my Rogue Prince. In his youth, the poor guy was set up to take the fall for a crime he didn't commit and was sent to a penal colony. My story begins when he returns (enormously wealthy) with a complicated plan for revenge on the men (and their families) who framed him. After all, they ruined his family, right? Theirs should suffer, too. He plans to do his damage and then leave, but of course he meets a woman - and she's not only the widow of one of the guys who hurt him, she's the step-sister of the other. It's a conundrum.

Good luck to all of you on winning the drawing!

Rascally Rogues : )

Submitted by Virginia C (not verified) on February 24, 2011 - 7:26pm.

A hero can be a rascally rogue, but he must still have a deep-seated respect for women–even if it takes a while to surface. What makes a man most attractive is a quiet confidence, a definite masculinity, that shows itself in thought and action. Handsome men are sometimes merely "pretty", nice to look at, but not always substantial in personality. When you find a man who is strong, smart, sensitive, sweet and sensual, you don't want to look at anyone else. Many times a "rogue" doesn't know that he is really a "hero" until he meets the one woman who challenges him, changes him, and completes him.

I like a rogue with a twinkle in his eye and a witty remark on his lips, who makes me laugh even when he's irritating me and driving me crazy.

Margo: Your book sounds wonderful. I just learned of you, so I haven't read you yet. I'm really looking forward to it. I love reading authors that are new to me.

As for rogues, I would love to be with a rogue highlander. They are my favorite. However, a good natured English rake works too. LOL Love them both.

Thank you for the giveaway! The Rogue Prince sounds yummy!

I like a rogue with a bit of devilish charm, and has some code of honor whatever that may be, who is much more beneath the surface.

I could only be with a rogue with principles/integrity.

Rogue Giveaway

Submitted by Sue K (not verified) on February 24, 2011 - 4:04pm.

A rogue goes against the norm of society (IMHO) so I would say that I would like to be a rogue that does good for others unconventionally & anonymously. No tributes. No awards. No honorariums. Just good works. Robin Hood without the robbing.

Rogues

Submitted by cories on February 24, 2011 - 4:01pm.

I realized recently that in my teens, instead of a bad boy with a Harley, I fell for a good boy with a boa constrictor. Perhaps I'm not as much of a good girl as I thought I was. :)

I think I'd like a rogue with a bit of angst but with enough good traits in him to overcome some of the drawbacks - a rogue with a good heart or at least one who is willing to grow as a person.

The Dark Rogue

I want the seductive dark rogue who had a torubled past but is looking for future redemption.

The book looks yummy!

I like the premise of this story. It has the same themes as the Count of Monte Cristo. I think I would like to be with a rogue similar to the hero in this story. Determined, fearless and very alpha! Someone seeking justice but has to re-evaluate his goals and take a second chance at life.
