In the Rogue I had pretty high hopes for this one, although I tried to not get my hopes too high because I honestly couldn't see how you could get any better than "Remy". What I found most interesting, was that the hero of this story Greyson King is completely different from our beloved Remy. He is more rougher around the edges, in some ways more mysterious and has some unique domineering personalities that was definitely unique. But I did admire the author for writing such a edgier character as Greyson King. Greyson King had to grow up pretty fast when his father gave him an ultimatum when he was only a kid, and that ultimatum changed him forever. Greyson is now known as "Zero". He is dangerous and sexy but also not a man you cross. He has a list of names of debts owed to them, and once he has what is owed them he can finally have the hidden location to his mother. And the last name on the list, is a woman who is more pure and loving than anything he has ever known and is the woman he loves more than life itself. Melanie doesn't know what to make of Greyson King, only that he is always disappearing, and not the most "steadiest" of boyfriends. But she is drawn to him in a way she can't explain. She is looking for a man like her best friend has in Remington. But Greyson is not your typical male, and Melanie will have to rely on her heart when she learns the truth about Greyson.
 
  
    
      "In my line of work distractions don't go well."
"Is that what I am? A distraction?"
"You're my fucking obsession. Not even a fantasy anymore. You're going to be the death of me, princess, and I don't give a shit anymore. I just don't want to be the death of you."
    
  
 
This story is full of some dynamic qualities and I was sucked into this story. Not quite in the same way as you get drawn into Remy, but I did find myself drawn into the story all the same. I think what was most intriguing was the mysterious element to the romance. I really never knew where this story was going, and there were times when it would really surprise me in the changes in plot or pacing even. And boy the villains of the story keeps you on your toes. Greyson isn't exactly the safest of men to be with, but he is protective of Melanie and I love the ways he goes about making sure that she is safe no matter the cost to himself. There are many secrets and half truths that occur in this story, and you see how this pair work through the drama and complex problems that build up through the story.

The Writing is simply Katy Evan's style though, so you just are guaranteed a story you won't want to put down, pages that you flip through and a romance that is a heart stopper!!! A VIBRANT SEXY TALE!
 
  
    
      With you and me, there are no givens. No rules. Just what we want. And I want every inch of you. I want what you’ve given no one

Oh, my heart… Rogue is absolutely perfect! It’s a stunning, phenomenal read that had me riveted from start to finish. I am so in love with Greyson and Melanie’s story, I can’t even describe how much. Their story took my breath away–everything about this book is intense and raw and so freaking goooood. I went through so many emotions while reading–I was swooning one moment, then heartbroken the next. Katy Evans, you ruined me with this book! I loved it!

“I’m going to give you the fucking of your life, princess.”

Oh. My. God. Please have a fan with you when you read Rogue because it is one smokin’ book! Greyson is one of the hottest alpha-males I’ve ever read–he’s sex on a stick, and the things that come out of his mouth are just… perfect. He has one dirty, dirty mouth, Greyson does. God, I love this man so much!

The book is told through Melanie and Greyson’s alternating POVs, which I found added immensely to the story. We get to know what’s going on in both of their heads, which I was so happy for because I LOVED Greyson’s POV! Not saying I didn’t love Melanie’s either, but Katy Evans is fantastic at writing from a male perspective! Actually, to be honest, I love ALL of Katy’s writing–it’s unique and pulls you in until you can’t stop reading.

FUCK HER PRINCE CHARMING.
She’s getting me.

Melanie is the quintessential girly girl who loves all things feminine. She’s had dreams about finding her Prince Charming since she was a little girl, and she still holds on to the hope that she’ll find him some day. Melanie is such a sweet girl, and I totally connected with her from the start. But even though Melanie is such a happy girl, her quest for Prince Charming does take its toll on her–she sleeps with men, ‘kissing frogs’ hoping they’ll be THE ONE, but she only gets hurt time and again. My heart went out to Melanie, because she’s the kind of girl you wish would never get hurt. I loved her determination to never give up, despite the number of times her heart was broken.

Then one day, she meets Greyson. Greyson, a man who fires her up like no one ever has. She connects with him on a visceral level, and there is an explosive chemistry between them. Their chemistry is hot and powerful, and Katy Evans’s writing is so well done that I could feel it coming off the pages.

Suddenly, every fiber in my body, my sober body, tells me his is the one.
He is the one.
The one who’s going to wreck me. Hurt me. Demolish me. The one who is going to remove every inch of the girl in me. He will be the memory I will never forget, and good or bad, he will be THE one I dream of.

When Melanie and Greyson come together, it’s passionate and beautiful. I was completely immersed in them, in their romance. What was supposed to be only one night between them turns out to be so much more, but what Melanie doesn’t know is that Greyson is keeping a huge secret from her.

Greyson is a bad, bad man. He is known as Zero in the Underground world, and his job is to make sure that the people who owe the Underground pay up. And if they can’t… well, bad things happen. As Zero, Greyson is hard, cold, and unforgiving, but when Melanie falls into his life, nothing is the same.

I have never, ever wanted anything the way I want those green eyes to memorize me the way I’ve made it a religion to memorize her.

I love, looove, and absolutely adore how much Greyson loves his Princess. I never though I’d actually like the endearment Princess, but the way Greyson uses it for Melanie makes me swoon so hard for him. He’s an alpha-male to the max, so he’s protective, possessive and obsessive of Melanie, but in the best way possible. He wants all of her, but there’s no doubt that she has all of him.

“You got me, princess. Jesus! Do you not see what you’re doing to me? You have all of me, Melanie. I’m states away and I feel like half a man, I feel like I’ll tear something apart if I don’t see you soon with my own two eyes…”

Melanie has found her ONE in Greyson, but her Prince Charming isn’t a good man. But these two are meant for each other–there’s an something between them that can’t be ignored, and I was captivated by their story. I loved reading Rogue so, so much. I never expected this level of raw intensity in a book, but I applaud Katy Evans for writing it so well. Rogue is an emotional, heart-racing read that I never wanted to end. It was just perfect.
