Jasmine St Claire, married the past four years to a verbally and physically abusive husband, is very unhappy in her marriage and is looking for a chance to leave the rich doctor who will not grant her a divorce. Her whole life is picture perfect on the outside, but is nothing more than a sham. At the medical conference, she finds her means of escape. Although none of the other doctors would help her, she believes the visiting Var Ambassadors would be willing to, in exchange for the medical booth she won. She approaches the one named Reid, whom she believes to be in charge of the craft. Disappointed when he turns her down, she returns to her suite to be greeted by her angry husband. She escapes lightly, mostly because they are interrupted by another doctor. Overhearing the conversation, she decides she must leave him immediately. To that end, she creeps onto the Var craft, and is not discovered until well after take off. Suspecting her to be a victim of abuse, the Var Princes and crew decide to help her, for which she is very grateful. Will she escape her husband, and his network of friends and associates? Could she fall in love with Reid, after her experience with her husband, which left her determined to be free from men?
Prince Reid attended the medical conference to acknowledge the scientist who died on his home planet, Qurilixen, when he was helping to rid the planet of biological warfare. After the conference, he is approached by Jasmine. Believing she wants to sleep with him, he is unprepared for her request of safe passage off the planet. Believing this to be a ploy to spend more time with him, possibly to develop a long lasting relationship, he turns her away. He spends a sleepless night, dreaming of what could have been. Strange, he has not dwelt on women he hasn’t slept with before – though those are few and far between. Stunned to find out she is aboard the ship, he is quick to take advantage of the situation. When he begins to fall for her, something he had been determined never to do, he finds himself unable to control his feelings. But will he be able to convince her of his love, particularly with his track record? Will his love be enough to get her to love and trust him, after her experience with her husband? How will he come to terms with the fact that he desires and wants another man's wife, something which is morally abhorrent to him? Can he keep her safe from the threats facing her?
The Rogue Prince, fourth in the Lords of the Var series by Michelle M Pillow, is a great read and an excellent addition to this wonderful series, making me crave more, more, more! Hopefully, the linked series of the Dragon Lords and Galaxy Playmates will quench some of this thirst, though I still cannot wait for the next brother’s story and hope Ms Pillow will also do the next generations tales. The Rogue Prince contains sensitive social issues, that are dealt with very well, and circumstances some may find offensive, particularly the use of adultery in the plot, though I doubt any of you would want Jasmine to remain in her abusive relationship, but rather legally unentangle herself before entering another relationship. Few in this story all is as it seems; the many twists and turns, making for unexpected occurrences, keep the reader intrigued and involved. The characters are strongly developed, and it is brilliant to see Reid’s arrogance with regards his sex appeal to the opposite sex take a real hitting. Action, romance and sex aplenty, this will get your pulse racing. I have no worries or concerns about recommending The Rogue Prince to you to read, particularly if you are a huge fan of futuristic erotic romance.
