Book Details
The Dangers of Loving a Rogue by Jeri Black Published by The Wild Rose Press on 12/14/2022
Genres: Historical Fiction, Romance
Format: eBook, Paperback
Pages: 400
If not for deplorable timing, Celia Breckenridge might have avoided a pirate attack. She’s grateful for her rescuer, truly, however the stubborn man is sailing in the wrong direction! Most alarming still? The silver-eyed rogue is devilishly attractive and Celia must keep reminding herself she’s betrothed to another.
Jackson Beaumont had a plan: sail to the Caribbean; find a hidden cache of emeralds; return to society a wealthy man. Alas, he arrives in Charles Town with marauding pirates, a disgruntled heiress, and a hurricane at his heels. Rescuing the lady from pirates posed little challenge - allowing her to return to her betrothed is proving far more difficult.
But Jack won’t return to England without his fortune, and when it comes to another man’s bride, he’s not above a little plundering himself.

Excerpt from The Dangers of Loving a Rogue
Meet
It occurred to her then that his amusement stemmed from the fact that she’d baldly stared at him for several moments while he waited for her to introduce herself. But my, what a spectacular figure this Jackson Beaumont made.
His arm swept out, gesturing to their surroundings. “Rather odd circumstances in which to meet a lady, but we shall have to muddle through.”
For heaven’s sake, he behaved as though they’d just been introduced at tea. Next, he’d take a pinch of snuff and comment on the weather. He watched her closely and she knew he expected her to speak, but her throat was swollen and parched. One would think her pitiful attempt at a scream would have indicated a difficulty. She raised her hand to her throat, attempting to communicate the problem.
He raised a brow and his lips quirked. “Forgive me. ’Tis obvious my attempt to set you at ease has failed.”
And then he smiled.
Not one of those swift quirks of the lips she’d seen before. Oh, no. This was a full smile, with wide lips and white teeth, and eyes gone crinkly at the corners. Her entire being stirred and preened and fluttered helplessly beneath it.
Lud, a man could kill a woman with a smile like that. What on earth was it doing on a swarthy sea captain? Her gaze swept him from head to toe again. Dangerous he may be, but also, without question, the handsomest man she’d ever laid eyes upon.

My thoughts on The Dangers of Loving a Rogue
I devoured The Dangers of Loving a Rogue.
The storyline is fun, dramatic, and historically accurate.
The writing is smooth with a steady pace advancing the plot.
The characters are fully developed with delightful quirks that show humor, pathos, passion.
I value the above characteristics in every book I read, but especially in a historical romance. Nothing takes me out of my reading as fast as details that don’t fit the time period. Luckily, Jeri Black created scenarios and dialogue that pulled me through the book in under 24 hours. You can tell the author put in the research time to get the period details correct.
When you mix pirates, a headstrong female lead, buried treasure, and a hero to swoon for, you have a hit on your hands. I enjoyed the unique spin to this book. It isn’t your typical swashbuckling romance.
The Dangers of Loving a Rogue is the perfect book to whisk you away on a delightful romantic adventure.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

About Jeri Black
A love of history and happily-ever-afters lured Jeri Black from reading historical romances to writing her own.

Her lively, witty characters are a result. Jeri writes historical and contemporary romance and is a 2017 Golden Heart Finalist.
She lives on the west coast of Florida with her husband and forty-year-old box turtle rescue named Klide—who likes strawberries, chasing bunny rabbits, and chewing on her shoes.
