“An Unmistakable Rogue brings to mind the best of Teresa Medeiros or Loretta Chase. Funny ... Passionate ... exquisitely lyrical....” —Eloisa James

UNTAMABLE ROGUE, Rogues Club, Book Four

Ashford Blackburne, Fifth Earl of Blackburne, does not care where he marries and plants his seed, so long as he does both before Christmas when his tyrannical grandfather’s archaic ultimatum runs out.

Jilted, drunk, and challenged to a high-stakes poker game, Ash loses the game, but wins the consolation prize: a guttersnipe bride and a wedding at gunpoint. For her part, Larkin McAdams has loved Ashford Blackburne since she was a child. She’ll make him a good wife. She does not need much—a cot, a warm blanket ... a monthly bath.

Review Quotes for Untamable Rogue, Book Four

“Wow! A CHRISTMAS BABY is, quite simply, terrific...” Debbie Jett, Romance Reader at Heart

“OMG! This story could not possibly have been any better! I could not stop myself from reading AT ALL. I read the entire thing in a single day. Yes, it is THAT good. Not to be missed! BRAVA!” Detra Fitch, HUNTRESS REVIEWS

“Annette Blair is a master artist in the world of romantic fiction. A strong plot provides the canvas for her compelling characters. Vivid settings and engaging minor characters beautifully augment the portrait. Fascinating subplots add depth. Spicy sexual encounters supply bold strokes, which are contrasted by one of the blackest dark moments ever painted with words. A romantic masterpiece.” —MyShelf.com

“A charming, witty story that will fill your heart with joy. From the moment I read Annette Blair’s An Unmistakable Rogue, I knew she had talent. But this book proves she has the ability to make her star shine... A brilliant piece of work... A keeper!” —Historical Romance Club

“The fourth “Rogue” is truly a delight. I highly recommend this clever, heartwarming, and most excellent story.” —Betty Cox, Reader To Reader

“A CHRISTMAS BABY gets my vote for one of the most different, highly sensual and entertaining Regency historicals of the season ... The greatest pleasure is Annette Blair’s unique, wonderful voice that makes each sentence an absolute delight. Very highly recommended!” —Debora Hosey, Romance Readers Connection

“A CHRISTMAS BABY had me laughing out loud. Larkin is much like Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady. She is bold, feisty, longs to be educated ... and watching her transformation is delightful. I have heard raves over Annette Blair’s writing, but this is my first experience. I am thrilled to have found her.” —Tracy, Roundtable Reviews

“A Christmas Baby never falters. This reader finished it in one sitting. There are quite a few erotic scenes smoothly incorporated within the storyline. For those who enjoy a sensual and tender historical love story, this one fits the bill.” —Fallen Angel Reviews

Bio: A New York Times best selling author for Penguin Books, Annette Blair left her job as a Development Director and Journalism Advisor at a private New England prep school to become a full time writer.

Perfect wrap-up to a series

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2012

Verified Purchase

As I have said on the previous 3 Rogues Club Books, bad cover art once again. Although, this one is the best of the four. The cover is the only reason I gave these books 4 stars instead of 5... (REVISED MARCH 2012 - New cover art is WONDERFUL--now it's a 5 star!)

Cover art aside, what a wonderful way to wrap up an even more wonderful series. I enjoyed all four of The Rogues Club stories and wish there were several more! I hated for it to end.

After reading this book, I will never look at a parsnip the same way again. Once you will read it, you will understand. :)

I loved how this story brings all the previous characters together for one very satisfying conclusion. The women in the stories are so likeable, the men so devestatingly irresistible: what more could a reader want??

Download the entire series today. You won't be disappointed!

A little too sexy for me, but a fun story line

After reading the first three books in the Rogues Club series, I couldn't wait to download this one. There is no denying that Ms Blair is a talented writer, but this was my least favorite of the series. I enjoyed the general story but found myself skipping a lot of pages because they spent so much time in the bedroom. It also bothered me that Lark spent so much time running away when she helped engineer her situation. It was great fun to see the other rogues and catch up on their families. There were two rogues introduced in this book, Hunter and Myles, and I hope we hear their stories.

Wow absolutely fabulous end to this series. My only complaint that it was the last book. I hope that she continues the stories in the future with more Rogues from The Rogues Club. I absolutely loved by Ash and Larkin in this story. They were both characters with spunk and passion. This book was filled with moments of comedy, drama, intrigue, passion and tenderness. I especially love the fact that the characters from the other books are brought back for a Christmas to remember. I would highly recommend this story for anyone who wants a heart warming plot with heat to bout.

My book club offered this book free. Not being familiar with the author, i didn't know what to expect, but very few books have had the ability to entertain me to this extent. The story of a girl, Larken Rose, raised by a father in a pub that he owns. She disguises herself as a boy to protect herself from her father's drunken customers, becomes a pickpocket to rival the finest and has never had anyone to teach her about being female. Her father participates in a card game and offers his daughter as a consolation prize and she rigs the game so she can get away from her father and his pub without anyone knowing. Not for herself, but to give her dead sister's son a home and family.

Ash, being left at the altar, goes to the pub to drink away his angst and is suddenly married to someone he doesn't know. He must have her with child before Christmas or lose his grandfather's inheritance. He and his new wife come to an agreement and then the real fun begins.

It is a warm, rich and hilarious tale of days gone by that leave you feeling complete but thirsting for more and i will be looking for other titles by this author.

FYI...I have seen other reviews that state this is the last book in this series, but a message from the author at the end of this book states that she has been mulling over the fates of her last two rogues, Myles and Hunter, and has plans for them....so i do not believe this is the last book for this series.

Another winner.

I've read and loved the first three Rogues Club books and #4 was another winner. You don't have to, but it helps to read them in order. There was brief mention of two other 'rogues' and I hope the author continues the series. The story lines are good, the characters sympathetic, the descriptions of the times and surroundings very visual. The sex, if somewhat limited, was well written; not a full boil but a good bubbling simmer. It's a shame men like this are so few and far between, if they exist at all! I would definitely read this author again.

A Good One

You get the picture from the other reviews so suffice it to say it is worth the read especially since I lucked out and was able to download it free. This is a special author and I will continue giving her books attention. The only thing that I didn't like was the introduction of Brian into the story, I liked things the way they were but that's just me.
Enjoy

This book started out great...very funny. However then it started to drag on and on. I thought the author would never get to the main characters finally start romancing. BUT then the romance became WAY too detailed for my taste. I thought going into extreme detail about women's bodies, their monthlies, and extreme sexual "discussions " was a huge turn off. Maybe the 20-somethings like that sort of reading but older women usually don 't. We read historical fiction too.,,
I 'm still trying to finish reading but the main adult characters are just coming across as too immature and self -centered much of the time. The lead female character is just down right annoying. I keep wanting to say, grow up already! No one is that naieve.

I have read all the rogues club books so far and enjoyed each one immensely.I love it when characters spill over into the next book, you don't lose sight of them after they have become so dear. The only thing I miss is an epilogue. The unique stories in each of these books are gripping and so well written. I can't wait to read the other two rogues stories. 5 stars are not enough.

A STRANGE ONE

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 19, 2012

I would actually like to give this one 3.5* as at times it was more than ok, some times I did like it but I don't think I ever came close to loving it, although I wanted to. Especially at the beginning, I thought it held real promise and some of the writing and humor early on did make me smile or chuckle out loud. But it just felt like it could have been written by two different authors.

'opened his mouth like a fretful fish', 'twice-jilted and thrice as furious', 'scandalbroth', "The Pickled Pigsty", and 'popinjay' probably all early on, I loved and were what held so much promise for me but all too soon I became so bored I nearly gave up. I decided to continue but although it got better and no longer threatened to kill me from sheer boredom it never reached its potential.

The side of the story that I never took to and/or felt like it had been written by someone else seemed immature at times. Why oh why did Lark have to be so aggressive when she was supposed to have such deep feelings for Ashley and which she'd harbored for oh sooo long! I know we're taking fiction here but the violent acts, and these didn't offend me in any way but were just tedious. I got absolutely fed up of Lark running away all the time. I couldn't see why Ashley was considered such a 'rogue' but in fairness this was book four of the series so maybe I would have needed to read one or more of these to build up to this point??

Some of the love scenes were beautiful others at times extremely cringe-worthy! 'nipple-flick' - oh dear, just doesn't work for me.

As I say in this header - a strange one for me, two different writing styles in one book. Maybe I'd have to read more by this author, possibly more up to date writing as this one is an old reprint. However, as this one was at the time of my download, it would probably have to be free for me to give this author another chance as I didn't enjoy this book enough to have paid for it.
