Jessica 's Reviews > Once More, My Darling Rogue

TW for sexual assault, child abuse/child sexual assault, death of a parent, and suicide.

THIS WAS SO GOOD! So basically this premise is a historical version of the 80s movie Overboard and I loved every second of it. Drake and Ophelia hate each other, so when Drake finds Ophelia almost dead in the Thames, he rescues her and tells her she's his maid. Ophelia has amnesia, so she believes him and stays with him, acting as his maid. I loved how Drake slowly fell in love with her and second guessed what he was doing and why. Then, there as a mystery behind why she was in the Thames and if she was in danger, so he couldn't let her just go back to her old life. What started out as a harmless prank turned much more complicated and I loved Drake's inner turmoil over it, especially as he grew to actually like Ophelia. It was fun how Ophelia had instincts that didn't match a servant, but she definitely grew as a person as she lived as a servant and getting to know other servants. And the tension between Drake and Ophelia was through the roof!

The ending of this did take a very dark and serious turn. The characters went through a lot of growth and trusting each other, and I really enjoyed watching that development between them. Also, as the second book in the series, we did get to see some of the first book's couple in this book and I loved seeing them again!

Overall, this was such a good book and I can definitely say that I am now a HUGE fan of amnesia historical romances!
