Product Description
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, a.k.a. 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.

 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.
 All in all a good read August 6, 2008

In the beginning, I agree, the book starts slow. However, it picks up & I thoroughly enjoyed the read.
Max's character and emotions are well established - I would have liked to have seen more of Blake's, "the rushing home" feeling I did not feel that.
In the end - I thought it was typical DS, but not cry your heart out.

Books like this one are the unfortunate result!
I think this is the second Danielle Steel book I've ever read in my life and I'm pretty certain it will be my last. This novel reads like a 320-page outline of a story idea that the author either lacked the time or the desire to fill in and develop. Characters are never fleshed out -- (which I guess is difficult to do with cardboard). Instead of scenes we get summaries of scenes -- as though any action that might have been remotely interesting took place off stage! And I don't think I've ever read so many cliches in one book. In the end, I cared about none of the characters because the writer gave me nothing to care about! In short it's just a horribly, horribly done book that the author seemed to have written with an indifference that shows no respect for the following that has made her a success and very, very wealthy.When I finished this book I was just pissed that I wasted my time -- and money.And the editor of this mess should be fired.

This book is so predictable! The very end of the book (I won't give any spoilers) is so nauseatingly predictable, hokey and unrealistic that I just shook my head in wonder. And the only likable character was the housekeeper Zelda.
Another bomb from Danielle Steel.

I've been a fan of Danielle's books for years. I actually met her on the beach in Hawaii in the 1980s, and she was and is a personal delight. "Rogue" continues her seemingly never ending formula for successful romance novels. It may start off a bit on the slow side, but it picks up and roars from then on. A wonderful book and I highly recommend it.
