Review
CAPTURED BY A ROGUE LORD is a multifaceted, character rich novel of passion and adventure. I readily recommend CAPTURED BY A ROGUE LORD. Pirate romances have come a long way since the bodice-rippers of the olden day, and Ms. Ashe is a welcome new voice in the genre.--Romance Reviews Today
Product Description
She would marry no man . . .
Serena Carlyle dreams of a happily ever after. Firmly upon the shelf at twenty-five, instead she's determined to find the perfect match for her beautiful younger sister. What better prospect than their neighbor, the wealthy, rakishly handsome Earl of Savege? Now Serena can beg his help in halting a local band of smugglers. Then, one night, stealing away from yet another disappointing ball, Serena finds herself trapped alone with a stranger . . .
Until he captured her--body and soul
His kiss was irresistible, his caress unforgettable, and he hides a devastating secret. A Robin Hood upon the sea, Alex Savege is the brazen pirate Redstone, seizing the yachts of spoiled noblemen to settle an old debt. Serena needs a hero, but her heart is in the gravest danger--for it is soon to be captured by a man as skilled at seduction as he is at plunder.

This book was given to me to review and the following opinions are my own.
When Serena needs to escape from her overbearing stepmother she hides in a empty room but it is not as empty as she thought. Soon captured in an embrace with a stranger all her rational thoughts flee leaving her to enjoy the amazing embrace. What she soon realises the stranger is indeed the man her family is wanting to marry her younger sister. She has to ignore her own feelings and help her sister secure the marriage. Of course nothing goes according to plan, with pirates, smugglers and interfering mothers soon get in the way.
Serena only wants the best for her family even if that means her sister marrying the man she is falling for. She has a fight on her hands trying to keep the peace but with more news of the smugglers invading her part of the world and her stepmother causing chaos she starts to feel the pressure. It doesn't help that Alex can't keep his hands off her when he is meant to be marrying her sister. He has a hard time trying to the right thing while trying to go after the one thing he wants, Serena. Soon an mistake changes everything and they both have to fight to make everything right again.
A lovely story with mystery, intrigue, love and passion. Plus an evil stepmother!!

Loved it!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Loved it! Lots of great adventure on dramatic cliffs, tons of excellent chemistry between Serena and Alex. If you like the classic fairy-tales with evil step-mothers, gallant heroes, and the tough-as-nails heroines who deal with it all and come out happy in the end, you'll love this story!

Captured By a Rogue Lord
11 April 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Serena Carlyle knows that the life most aristocratic daughters expect to have will never be for her. At twenty-five, Serena is firmly on the shelf and her goal for this particular season is to ensure that her stepsister, Charity, isn't pushed into an unhappy engagement by her mother. Though, to be honest, the Earl of Savage - the man Charity's mother wants her to marry - could be the perfect bridegroom for Charity, if he gave up his rakish ways. The earl is not only their neighbor, he's handsome, young, wealthy, and Serena would love nothing more than to have his aid in stopping the smugglers that are veritably crawling the coast by their homes. However, Serena's first encounter with her potential brother-in-law is anything but ordinary. A kiss in a darkened room makes Serena yearn for things she knows she cannot have...and starts her fascination with the tempting Alexander Savage. Soon Serena finds herself falling for a man whose secrets are the stuff of legend. For Alex isn't merely an earl, but the infamous pirate Redstone.
Get ready for a spectacularly sensual adventure in Captured by a Rogue Lord. Katharine Ashe starts off with a bang in this exciting romance, with sparks flying between Serena and Alex. I was hooked immediately by this pair and could feel the grin spreading across my face as Serena and Alex started their obstacle-filled road to happily ever after. The two of them are bright, compelling protagonists and Ms. Ashe brought them to life in such a way that I wish they were real, if for no other reason than they'd be people I would want to know.
Where Captured by a Rogue Lord falters is the middle third of the book. I went from being absolutely, one hundred percent in love with the story to becoming incredibly irritated by Serena's villainous stepmother and weak-willed stepsister. The two threw an obstacle in Serena and Alex's path that felt forced and the subplot went on for longer than I would have liked, dragging the book down. Luckily, Captured by a Rogue Lord picks right back up in the last third of the book, finishing the story as it began - in a thrilling, engaging fashion. Were it not for the middle third of the book, Captured by a Rogue Lord would be perfect. As it stands, Captured by a Rogue Lord is still an excellent read and I adored Serena and Alex so much that I will happily re-read their romance again and again and again.

A Great book!
14 Jun 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The pirate Redstone and the Earl of Savege are both Alex - Alex Savege. Alex Savege and Serena Carlyle have a chance encounter and are smitten with one another. But Serena finds out that Alex is betrothed to her younger sister Charity. Is Alex and Serena's love doomed?
This is a book that I won at a pirate workshop at the RT Booklovers' Convention in 2011 in Los Angeles, and I was SO excited to have won it. This was the first book of Katherine Ashe's that I'd ever read, and I was impressed by the depth of the fictional world she's created. This book is exceptionally well-written and captivating.
Also, there is something incredibly alluring about a noble whose alias is a pirate who attacks the ships of other nobles. I really like that Ashe created a different kind of heroine than the supermodel run-of-the-mill sort. With delightful plot twists and a strong, saucy heroine, this is one that will keep you up long into the night, unable to stop turning pages.
Now, after reading this book, I want to be captured by a rogue lord too!
