Reforming the Rogue is a re-release, originally titled Lessons in Love. Neither title seems to fit with the story line. The rogue wasn't very rogue like it implies that he is but you only see it once in the beginning every other time he's just an ass. Dominic Barton, the so called rogue, is a dashing young man with a reputation and doesn't approve of his older brothers new intended and is set on not letting that wedding happen. Linnet Pelham is an unemployed school teacher, with no references and not wanting to burden her mother and young siblings she moves in with her sister, Jessica, the mistress and intended to Lord Cairngrove. Cedric Barton, Lord Cairngrove fell in love with Jessica the very first time he saw her with a bit of convincing he finally made her his. Now after two years he want to make it known to the world that he loves her and wants all the bells and whistles of a big wedding. Linnet is determined to see her sister marry the love of her life even if Nic is trying to stop it.This is a sweet historical romance about true love defying the naysayers and the rules of the ton. Nic thinks he is helping his brother but what he does instead is find out what true love really is and it has been staring him in the face if only he can convince Lin he is worthy.It started really good but then it just flat lined. The conflict seemed minor in comparison to other novels. I think it could have been better and more enjoyable if it had been longer and established more of the relationship between Nic and Lin.Book given courtesy of NetGalley for an honest review.
