Query: I was disappointed and even a bit bored by this book.

The first book in the Cynster series, Devil's Bride, was the best. The Romance was strong and while the secondary story was interesting, it didn't overshadow the love story. Unfortunately, each successive book seems to diminish in quality. I found A Rogues Proposal to have flat characters, a polt that overshadowed the romance with a mystery that seemed to never end. To make matters worse, Ms. Laurens' usually fantastic and frequent sex scenes were missing. I was hoping this book would be similar to Captain Jack's Woman, with a woman pretending to be a boy, but it lacked spontaneity of plot and the in depth charaterizations of the hero and heroine that Captain Jack's Woman had. I wish Ms. Laurens better luck next time.
