Product Description
Meet Maxine Williams, a dedicated doctor with three great kids, a challenging career, and the perfect new man in her life. Her only problem? Her irresistibly charming, utterly infuriating ex-husband, aka the . . .
Rogue
Being married to Blake had been an amazing adventure for Maxine. Brilliant, charismatic, and wholly unpredictable, Blake Williams made millions and grabbed headlines as a dot-com entrepreneur. His only shortcoming was as a husband—first his work and then his never-ending quest for fun kept him constantly on the move, far away from Maxine and his family. For five years Blake and Maxine have worked out an odd but amicable divorce, with friendly though infrequent visits, a yacht he lends her every summer, and three children they both adore. Blake enjoys his globe-trotting lifestyle—dating a succession of beautiful, famous, and very young women—while Maxine raises their kids in Manhattan and pursues her passion, working as a psychiatrist, a world-renowned expert on childhood trauma and adolescent suicide. Then everything changes….
For Maxine it starts when she falls in love with Dr. Charles West, a man who is everything Blake is not—mature, grounded, and present. For Blake it begins when a devastating earthquake strikes near one of his palatial foreign homes and he sees hundreds of orphaned children in need of shelter. Now Blake wants Maxine in his life again—as a partner in a humanitarian project that could change countless lives. For Maxine the choice is clear. But Blake’s sudden transformation—from carefree playboy to compassionate, responsible grown-up—raises questions she’s never managed to answer . . . and some she’s afraid to ask. After all, Maxine is on the cusp of a new life, about to marry Charles, and almost certain that Blake Williams, aka the Rogue, is a man capable of doing anything—except change….
An unforgettable story of two people pursuing happiness from opposite directions, Rogue is a journey of choices and the amazing opportunities that come together—just when life seems to have been successfully rearranged at last.

 Slow start - Nice finish October 1, 2008
Many of Danielle Steel's novels of late seem to start off very slowly and some don't seem to show the story progressing. Lots of skimming through the actions of the characters rather than showing them doing what they do. This probably lends itself to the slowness of the story. I've noticed other authors "telling the story" rather than "showing" it. Basically the premise of the story is very good. If you can get through the slow beginning and into the story, you're in for a good read. I have read and have collected every Danielle Steel book and probably will continue to do so and will hope to have faster-action story progress in the future.

Great Reading! September 22, 2008
I liked the book Rogue because I do like Danielle Steel's writing. Her stories are interesting.
 Save your money!!! September 15, 2008
This is the first Danielle Steel novel that I have read and I was not impressed. What a bore!! I agree with the other reader who said the book was a waste of time! The book screamed bad Lifetime movie of the week. Save your money...thankfully I did by borrowing it from the library!
 Great twist September 8, 2008
Standard Danielle Steele genre... interesting twist at the end. Product arrived on time in good condition.
 Deadly boring and ridiculous, beginning to end August 17, 2008
I am shocked that anyone liked this book. I gave it a two because I was able to finish it (by skimming a lot). The plot is just really, really dumb and completely unbelievable.
