Let Sleeping Rogues Lie by Sabrina Jeffries

Let Sleeping Rogues Lie

Sabrina Jeffries wrote “let sleeping rogues lie” in year 2008. It is only published in paperback version in year 2009. This review would cover some brief information on Sabrina, a summary of this romance novel, an overview of the themes of the novel, and last but not least, the critical analysis of the story.

Sabrina holds a doctorate in English lit, and had emphasized extensively that in order to produce stories that would give readers pleasure in reading, effort must be sincerely made. She is a very generous person as she had shared her views and tips on her journey to become a published romance writer, and the Dos and DON’Ts of it. Her focus had been to produce what she herself enjoys reading, something lighter, sexier historical romances, with more dialogue and more sensuality, in her exact own words, and this story is part of her school of heiress series.

Madeline Presscott, the heroin of the story is a very practical lady, with the curiosity that exceeds the limit of a cat. She takes up teaching after her father lost his practice as a doctor after a questionable death of his patient due to the claimed mis-application of nitrous gas as the remedy, which was rumored to be hazardous. Madeline wished to clear his name, and when Anthony Dalton presented himself at the school, seeking help to place his niece in the right place as another bargaining chip to get him his niece’s custody, Madeline saw the way. Anthony socialized with the circle that contains the scientist doctor that had invented the nitrous gas, and Madeline wishes to beg him to release a statement declaring the function of nitrous gas correctly to clear up her father’s name.

To exchange for Anthony’s help (and to help him get his niece’s custody), Madeline had convinced Mrs Harris, the headmistress of the school to take Anthony as a extra-curriculum for her students to educate them how to recognize scoundrels who are hunting for the heiress’ fortune. For Madeline beliefs with Anthony’s reputation of a rogue, who else better to inform the ladies how does a rogue think and act? The whole scenario had set up an interesting stage for the whole centerfold story, and led to series of twist and turn that had really shown that judge not the book by its cover.

At a glance, no one seemed to be who they really are in the story. One would think that Madeline is a very prim and proper lady, but her curiosity and her earnest to learn, and her courage to restore her father’s reputation had proved her far beyond a mere lady.
