Widowed, mother of two, Lady Lucinda Stoneworth, is invited to the country to share three weeks with her husband's brother and his wife. Her four year old and eighteen month old daughters will be staying with Lucinda's in-laws so that she can have some time to herself after mourning for her husband for the past two years. She is ready to feel alive again!Underground fighter, Ronan "Rage" Riley, has always desired Lucinda since the first time he met her. However, at the time, she was married and he would not have pursued her then out of respect to her, her husband, and family. But now that she is a widow out of mourning, he wants to see where things will lead. Perhaps they can become lovers as he doesn't feel that he is good enough for her since their class distinctions aren't exactly equal. Once they embark on this course, will they be able to keep reality in check, or will they throw caution to the wind and make something that is private, public?Rogue for a Night was a delightfully, seductive romance! I was engrossed from the beginning until the ending a short time later. Both these characters were truly memorable and when they finally got together... Well their scenes were all the more romantic because of their feelings. Lucinda never looked twice at another man when she was married, and Ronan would never have crossed that line anyway. I never felt like she didn't love her deceased husband just as much as she came to love Ronan. Lucinda's love for her husband eclipsed all else and sometimes you can love more than one person in your lifetime. Rogue for a Night, a stand-alone read, seemed to be related to Her Notorious Viscount, but I was left wondering if more about Lucinda would have been gleaned had I read the other story as well. I was left curious about Lucinda's family and why she didn't seem to interact with them at all or even mention them in passing. Ronan's family was mentioned and developed somewhat, but again I would have liked to have seen one of them flounder about because I felt they were just a bit on the nasty side! The romance in Rogue for a Night was quite satisfying though, and would have been even more so with a longer story.VanessaReviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
