Alicia Sanford became a young mother due to an unexpected pregnancy as a teenager. She was happily married to her husband Craig, who she thought would be her soulmate for life. Soon after moving into a new rental house, however, Alicia found that her life of wedded bliss had been an illusion. It was all a lie.
While her life is falling apart, Alicia and her young son, Tommy are thrust into the lives of three completely different men. Alicia first connects with her wide-eyed teenaged neighbor, Nick Randolph, a truly helpful young man who becomes a genuine friend. Alicia’s connection to Nick leads to a friendship with his gregarious father, Hank Randolph, who is wild and unpredictable. Alicia’s friendship with Hank leads to her meeting David Nichols, who is Hank’s reserved and responsible business partner, and who is also scarred by a past relationship.
With the help of these three men, Alicia will begin to pick up the pieces and start again. She will need to get a new job with new friends to be able to manage and afford the house on her own. Then Alicia will need to venture out into the dating world to find the right man who might just be the soulmate she has been missing.
Is that soul man out there? Or maybe…is he right in front of her?
Rogue took me by surprise in the best possible way. It’s not just a romance it’s an emotional, layered exploration of what it means to move on, to rediscover desire, and to choose passion over safety when life gives you a second chance.
Rebecca Cooper is a character I instantly connected with. She’s in her forties, widowed, and trying to build something steady and reliable with Jeff, a long-time friend. On the surface, her life makes sense. But underneath it all, she’s lonely until Alexi enters the picture like a whirlwind.
Alexi is the kind of character who commands attention: mysterious, a little dangerous, deeply wounded, and impossible to ignore. The tension between him and Rebecca is magnetic, but what I loved most was that their attraction wasn't superficial it was emotional, spiritual, and raw. He challenges her. She calms him. They make sense in a way that logic can't explain.
Anne Marie Busch does a fantastic job weaving in backstory, family dynamics, and secrets that slowly unravel. The mystery around Jeff’s past and Alexi’s resentment toward him adds a layer of suspense that kept me flipping the pages well past bedtime.
I also appreciated how the book tackles mature love and grief without rushing anything. It shows how complicated it can be to let go of the familiar, even when your heart is telling you something different. Rebecca’s growth felt so real, so earned, and so powerful.
If you’re looking for a book that’s more than just a steamy romance something with depth, conflict, and unforgettable characters Rogue is for you. It left me thinking about life, choices, and the risks we take for love long after I finished the last page.
HERE IS A REVIEW FOR MY FIFTH BOOK A LOVE TO LAST FOREVER:
A Character-Driven Masterpiece
This novel is all about the people. From Alicia to the colorful men she meets, each character is drawn with nuance and depth. Alicia's emotional journey is slow and steady, filled with moments of pain, strength, and grace. Nick's presence in the story gives it heart, while Hank's larger-than-life personality keeps things interesting. David Nichols, however, was my personal favorite. His reserved demeanor and thoughtful nature contrasted beautifully with Alicia's vulnerability. The scenes between them are tender and heartfelt, showing that sometimes love grows in quiet places. I finished this book feeling like I knew these people. Anne Marie Busch has a gift for storytelling that's subtle, emotional, and very human.
