I Loved a Rogue The Prince Catchers edition by Katharine Ashe Literature Fiction eBooks

I waited expectantly for this third book, but sadly, although the characters were intriguing - the storyline was just all over the place. I was super disappointed in how disjointed the romance was - barely any pleasurable time spent between Taliesin and Eleanor. They seemed to continually be at odds with one another simply because he didn't believe he was good enough for her and she misunderstood where he stood in his feelings.

Then there was at least one misunderstanding which was never even explained - Taliesin didn't ask about it, so Eleanor couldn't explain since she didn't realize what sent him packing all those years ago. Really... how many times did Taliesin just depart in this book? It got ridiculous after awhile - Taliesin riding off with the intention of, once again, never returning?

Why in the world was that bit of almost romance with "Prince" thrown in - as though Eleanor would choose him? She had known him for all of like one or two days when he decided he wanted her hand in marriage? Then there was so much miscommunication between Taliesin and Eleanor? In fact, there was miscommunication between nearly all the main characters. And as the fullness of the plot begins to be revealed, it begs the question, why certain people didn't speak up a lot sooner.

Toward the end, the scene in the courtroom was a comedy of sorts. As the story built toward the ending, it was simply too much - talk about complicated. Villains show up at the ninth hour attempting to drug and starve people? Loose ends were finally tied up, however, not neatly. Too many complications were introduced to an already over-complicated plot. Overall, this story was simply not enjoyable.

**SPOILERS WITH SOME QUESTIONS**
In my opinion, the author did some serious damage to Martin Caulfield's character with the reveals toward the end of the book. What kind of man would let Eleanor, Arabella and Ravenna struggle with their origins and not find a way to help reacquaint them with their father? That part was sour, but when I learned Caulfield was assigned the task of watching over the young Taliesin by the girls' real father, all I could think about was Taliesin without shoes, with his feet bandaged during the cold, the Reverend Caulfield sending Eleanor off with some old used shoes to be re-purposed into book bindings when he could have offered the shoes to Taliesin as Eleanor eventually did. Of Taliesin nearly freezing in the winter, glad to be able to sleep in the barn with the warmth of the animals. Badly done, Martin Caulfield! He came across as more of a villain than a rescuer of children once I began to see his full role as a type of "trustee" to these children. Curious to know if anyone else had the same thoughts.

Then there was the issue of why Taliesin left the first time after being beaten up so badly. The Reverend doesn't even offer to have Taliesin's wounds nursed - rather, he basically tells Taliesin he needs to leave and find his way in the world. Yes, later he says it was for Taliesin's own good - perhaps. But nobody, not even Taliesin, saw fit to enlighten Eleanor as to the reason why he left, nor the reason he left the second time when he saw her in the carriage in Shackelford's arms. Nope, Eleanor never had a chance to explain herself about Shackelford - Taliesin never told her why he left either time. Eleanor spent all those years agonizing after her true love and still, she never got an explanation about Why. He. Left. Nor. The. Fact. He. Returned. To. Get. Her. then left after seeing her with Shackelford? This was one of the loose ends that the author didn't see fit to tie up. I'm a person who doesn't like to have misunderstandings just hanging without any explanation.

Robin Prince: Honestly, did we really have to read about how Eleanor enjoyed kissing him along with the description of the tingly feelings. I didn't want to read about my heroine enjoying kissing anyone besides Taliesin - especially the man who stood by and didn't do anything to intervene when Taliesin got beat up so badly all those years ago. Then he basically blackmails Taliesin and yet, he was portrayed as a kinda "good guy?" I just never got Robin Prince period - he was such a nobody.

Then there was the dumb, dumber and dumbest scene and dialogue in the courtroom toward the end. What a farce? It wasn't amusing, nor was it satisfying. Just a big jumble of nonsense. Again, am I the only reader who thought just as the book began to wind up, things got even crazier - of course, it had to include Taliesin leaving once again. OK, I'm done whinging. This book will not be a re-read for me.

I Loved a Rogue The Prince Catchers edition by Katharine Ashe Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

This is the third book in the prince catcher serie. You can read it separately but I recommend you read the other books.

I was so excited when I received the Arc. And boy, did my expectation came true. The book kept me on my toes. There were times I thought I would expire due to the tension between H&h, the twists and the unexpected ending. My heart kept pounding in my chest because of the very strong chemistry between them. This is more than lust, this is passion, this is blazing love. There was a connection between them that was almost visible. Although there’s a lot of pushing away and pulling between them, them being stubborn people, lol, still in the end they realize that what they have is so unique and mindblowing. They are soulmates.

Eleanor grew up as a vicar’s daughter, together with her sisters Arabella and Ravenna. They were orphans, taken in by a widowed vicar. Taliesin is a Rom boy, who helps out at the vicarage. Inevitably, they fall in love. One day, Taliesin takes off and leaves the village, leaving Eleanor heartbroken. Eleven years later, Eleanor’s father remarries and they meet again at the weddingparty of Eleanor’s father. It’s quite obvious that their love is still burning. Still she refuses to acknowledges this. She longs for an adventures. So she decides to start looking for her parents , checking out if the fortune told by a gypsy ,who mentioned a prince, held any truth. Taliesin accompanies her.

On her adventure she shed her cloak of demure vicar’s daughter, has her adventure and finds her prince. If you want to know whether she finds her parents, I would suggest you read the book 

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
This final book in the Prince Catchers series is Katharine Ashe's best yet! The story of Eleanor and Taliesin tells of an almost-lifelong romance between two beautiful people whom fate conspires to bring together but whose misconceptions keep apart. All the hours of lost sleep were worth every minute of the excitement, mystery and thrills that kept me reading into the wee hours until the final glorious moments when the hero and heroine find the answers to their secret pasts. How can one not revel in the love between a gloriously handsome gypsy man and the woman he adores? How can one not respond to those darkly fascinating gazes and hearts beating furiously as the two captivate us with their longing for one another...longing that seems endlessly thwarted by circumstance?
I was especially impressed by the attention Ms. Ashe, a historian, gave to the cultural mores of the time. She ably described the anguish caused by prejudice and ignorance toward the gypsy (Rom) people who travelled through Europe, trying to make a home for their families in wagons as they worked at their various trades. Taliesin was loyal to his people even as he strove to rise above the insults he received through a difficult youth. Eleanor, too, surmounted more than her share of hardship as the oldest of three
sisters who were orphaned and cast up alone on an unfamiliar shore after a shipwreck. I totally loved this tale of strong, independent, feisty people whose passion for one another reached through time to enthrall the reader. I will read this many times over!
I am not quite sure where to begin...I can honestly say that I am a little annoyed with Eleanor's story! It appeared as though everything and the kitchen sink was thrown into this one story. Long lost father's were found, evil family members were located, a horse trader turned out to be a Prince, a brother and two sisters were thrown into the mix just because. I could go on and on. Unfortunately, this drew the story out into so many different directions it became a chore just trying to follow all of the loose ends.
I am usually a fan of Ms. Ashe and will continue to read her books, this one was just a miss for me.

Robin Prince Honestly, did we really have to read about how Eleanor enjoyed kissing him along with the description of the tingly feelings.

Then he basically blackmails Taliesin and yet, he was portrayed as a kinda "good guy?" I just never got Robin Prince period - he was such a nobody.

Then there was the dumb, dumber and dumbest scene and dialogue in the courtroom toward the end. What a farce? It wasn't amusing, nor was it satisfying. Just a big jumble of nonsense. Again, am I the only reader who thought just as the book began to wind up, things got even crazier - of course, it had to include Taliesin leaving once again. OK, I'm done whinging.
