First Impressions
Rogue is a book that has two novella's in it but is still a full-length novel overall, if you consider what this author writes a full-length novel. This one is such a kick ass novel, and it really builds in the intensity level. We really get to see two stories of couples that we have been wanting to see. I really felt like despite how short these stories are, they are well fleshed out regarding the relationship aspects that are built here.

What I Loved
I dearly loved this story, although its not my favorite installment in the series, it was quite a interesting dynamic on the two stories that we see implemented on this one here. I was so intrigued by what the author handled with these two stories. I will admit that I loved the heroine of Information Rogue and the hero of Desert Rogue the most. I became really endeared by these stories and we get hints for upcoming books that I am very eager to see come into place here. I will admit that the story that intrigued me the most was the later one with Desert Rogue, we get our lovely pirate of the desert who runs his caravan and I love what a protector he is. Both stories have such solid plot building so if you love some great action themes, then this will be a fascinating tale for you.

What I Struggled With
Some of the characters I wasn't super drawn into with. I wasn't super invested in the pairings that were matched up here. But I loved the heroes here. But these heroines took a while for me to like.

Overall View
I found Rogue to be a fascinating romance that was packed with thrills, sexy feels and atmospheric vibes that continues to hold my attention for more...

Steam/Spice Explanations

Simmering cup of tea---soft warm touches and light intimacy
Warmin' by the fire- a medium level of sexual tension, a balance of sexual and emotional intimacy, lighter on the details in the sexual moments.
Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes.
Blazing fire to the building-The prime focus is the sex scenes, scorching hot, and could burn one. Less focus on the emotional intimacy to the relationship.
