The Rogues' Dynasty

review 1: Short on story and heavy on physical attraction...translated lust disguised as love. The hero drug his feet the whole book as far as committing to anything but seducing the heroine. As usual the heroine admitted immediately that she was in love but at least she had the good sense to send him packing when all he wanted to do was to let her down. Of course, predictably the hero didn't give up and saved her from the villain(s). Ms. Grey left the door wide open for another book and maybe three more books spinning off this series. I keeping hoping for better so I will read the next one. After all, they are a quick read and definitely an escape from anything that is rattling around in your mind!
