About this audiobook

USA Today Bestseller

First friends, then enemies . . .

Lady Aurelia hasn't always hated Max, Viscount Camden, her brother's best friend. In fact, as a besotted girl, she thrived under his kind attention— sure that he was the most noble and handsome man in the land. Until her young heart discovered what manner of rogue he really was. Now, though she enjoys nothing more than getting on his last nerve, she can't deny Max drives her to distraction— even if she tries to pretend otherwise.

Now something more . . .

Max cannot recall a time when Aurelia did not vex him. If she was not his friend's sister, he would stay far away from the infuriating vixen. Unfortunately, they are always thrown together. At parties and family gatherings . . . she is always there. Mocking him, tossing punch in his face, driving him mad . . . until one night, she goes too far and he retaliates in the only way he can: with a kiss that changes everything.

    SummaryAurelia once loved Max, and admired him but when she caught him in a certain act, her love turned slowly into anger, and that anger has fueled a conflict between them for years. Aurelia is very talented at drawing, but Max takes acception to it, since out of her anger she drew one of him that mocked him and still is whispered about. Max and Aurelia run in the same circles, since Max is best friends with Aurelia's brother. Max has never known why Aurelia began hating him or when their conflict became so severe, but when Aurelia crosses a line, battle lines are drawn and soon Max and Aurelia will be tested in the worst ways. What comes to a surprise to both Max and Aurelia is the way that desire sparks between them despite how much they despite one another. But both soon learn that the line between love and hate is very thin at times, and that love can heal old wounds and form a closeness and intimacy they couldn't ever imagine with each other. Plot and Story LineI quite enjoyed this story for the most part, very entertaining, and the writing as always was very engaging and Sophie Jordan can always draw me in like a moth to a flame into her stories. The reason my rating is a bit lower, is because I had issues with both of the main characters. Quite frankly both of them were quite perfect for each other, and both of them tended to get on my nerves quite a bit. I just couldn't quite like them as much as I wanted to, or maybe I was trying too hard, but honestly these two would try the patience of a saint if need be. What we have over years of fighting, is a misunderstanding, and if Aurelia had just confronted Max about what she had seen the circumstances would be far different from what we see here. Max and Aurelia are both selfish quite a bit in this story, especially in the beginning, and it seems that they are so focused on hating each other they don't see the big picture, just their inner world and don't seem to care how much they are hurting each other. This was more than a simple angsty romance, but having said all this...I did like it quite a bit. And I just couldn't put it down, despite my issues with the characters, but no worries eventually they come to terms and once they are fully honest with each other I began to soften towards them. I honestly never blamed Max in most of the interactions even if he could be pig headed, because Aurelia started it all and it all comes down to pride (greatest human downfall right folks?) but we also see the human mistakes and how despite how much they despise each other, this tension builds into something more that neither expects to find. That is the moment that the story really gets interesting. I really liked seeing the bantering and boy could they both go at it, they were just meant to be together just for their fighting alone. There was quite a great cast of supporting characters...and a sexy scot...I am curious if he will get a story because I liked him, really liked him.The CoverI love the dress, I just love pink and always have adored this color, and I love the pose, and what lovely wallpaper in the background.Overall ViewAll The Ways To Ruin A Rogue is a tension filled romance, with sparky character, engaging writing talent, and a love story that blossoms beneath a bond of hatred....a bond that forms into a tender love. STIMULATING TILL THE END!!

    3.5 stars - This book was okay. I don’t think it’ll be very memorable to me. The first book in this series was definitely the best. But the writing was still solid in this one.

    2.5 stars rounded up. This wasn't as good as the first in the series, but hasn't discouraged me from trying others by Jordan. I wanted to like these two MCs, but they were just such fools... And, as with many 'enemies to lovers' the mean things they did when in opposition never were entirely erased for me by their attraction later. =/

    I sooooooooo get what you all were saying! This wasn't banter, teasing, or sniping, it was meanness. I was hanging in there until around the 40% mark when the hero is incredibly cruel to the heroine not in just an one on one situation but in front and with a mean girl from her past and present. My heroes always come through for the heroines in those situations.

    I didn't feel the romance here, especially since they didn't really come together until the last 10% of the story, yes really, the VERY end.

    This could all be my personal preference but you're honestly going to have like meanness between your leads to like this.

    *I still like Jordan's overall writing, she is great at sexy sex scenes (hellooooo desk scene!) and will be giving her next book a try, which I hope will feature Struan the seemingly cold-hearted Scot.

    Read for Review (Avon)Overall Rating: 3.00Story Rating: 3.00Character Rating: 3.00First Thought when Finished: All the Ways to Ruin a Rogue by Sophie Jordan was a bit of a weird read for me (not historical romance--I love that just the flow of the read): had an good beginning, GREAT MIDDLE, and rather rushed didn't feel organic (aka didn't feel the love) end. Overall Thoughts: I had no idea how to rate this one. It was an easy read (took less than a day). It had a leading lady that I adored even if I wanted to her look at things with 23 year old eyes instead of 15 at times (she was 23 but seemed to walk around with a long over instance from 15 hanging over her). It had a leading man that I wanted to fall and fall hard as Cads should. However as much as I felt Aurelia loved Max--that end was just not authentic to me. Too quick. Too tidy. Too "I am almost out of space". It kind of left me wanting which is not a good way to leave a story. I did like the writing and I LOVED book 1 of the series. Really I think this was just me and Max. He just didn't grow enough in that end to make me believe his.... [sudden declaration/notice of love (that isn't a spoiler at least not if you are reading freaking romance)but I hid it just in case. (hide spoiler)]Really that last 50 or so pages were just more frustrating than warm fuzzy for me. Oh Max I wanted to love you too.Final Thoughts: This was still a quick read and entertaining (the humor was fantastic). I would recommend it based on that fact but I do it with a warning that the end might not be satisfactory. I really recommend book 1: A Good Debutante's Guide to Ruin. It was FREAKING FANTASTIC!
