Maxence’s brother was trying to kidnap or kill him, and an organized crime thug wanted to cut off Max’s head and feed it to the sharks for entirely different reasons.

So, when a cute little blonde stood up on a barstool in the middle of the Buddha Bar in Paris and drew the attention of the wrong sort of guys, Maxence swooped in for the rescue. Everything about her appealed to him: her sweetness, her giggliness, and especially the fact that she was in trouble.

That last part made her sugar and catnip to Max.

Luckily, he only had five days before he left Paris and Europe for wherever his global charity job was going to send him this time. Why not spend it with the funny blonde who insisted he lie to her?

Indeed, if she thought everything he said was a lie, he could confess his sins, unburden his soul, and reveal what he thought he never could.

Five days with her sounded like Heaven, if he could just convince her to stop throwing him out of her hotel room.

***
My life has become a sad country music song, but instead of heading south, I went to Paris.

I was a good girl who had nothing left to lose, literally. My boyfriend had stolen everything. Everything except a non-refundable plane ticket to Paris, which was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime where that deadbeat was going to propose at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

So, I got on the plane without him.

After all that, it was understandable that when I started drinking at the Buddha Bar, things got a little out of hand.

Luckily, a man intervened. He was so ripped that I could see every thick muscle of his abs, obliques, chest, and arms through the tight tee shirt he was wearing. He towered over the guys who were bothering me, and they backed off.

I took him back to my hotel because I was full of drunken, bad decisions that night.

The last thing I needed was a man who wanted to save me when I was trying to do all the wrong things.

Blair Babylon - Thrillers that Bang

Editorial Reviews

Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Maxence is everything I love in a romance novel - a whipsmart man with an anguishing call to serve that conflicts with his love for Dree. I was spellbound!" - New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What a wild and sexy race through Paris! Rogue masterfully combines nail biting suspense with high steam for the ride of your life with Maxence and Dree." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ USA Today bestselling author JJ Knight

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Another masterpiece from Blair Babylon, who I am convinced keeps getting better and better. Max is not at all as I'd imagined him, and really it's no wonder, since he has been forced to repress who he is. The real Max keeps popping up his head, doing real-Max things that the other Max wishes he wouldn't do. He struggles with his inner demons to be a Godly man, but he hasn't quite figured out how to balance the different parts of himself, and as a result, tortures himself. He is a man searching for himself, impeded by too many bad guys who wish him harm. It's hard to focus on self-actualization while trying to simply survive without getting yourself killed." -- E.C., Goodreads Reviewer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Blair's stories have always been hot but this one might be the hottest yet." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- Xtreme Delusions Book Blog

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I just couldn't stop reading! This book is addictive!" -- Kat, Goodreads Reviewer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Rogue is a phenomenal romantic suspense that is sure to delight and entertain as it holds your heart and mind captive. Nothing can prepare you for the roller coaster ride that is Maxence. He will take you unawares and leave you completely breathless and wanting. If nothing else, you will learn why he is so addicting to the women that he meets." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -- Words Are The Breath of Life Book Blog

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Good gosh! Author Blair Babylon is a master at building suspense. I have been eagerly awaiting Maxence's story for YEARS. Finally it arrives and I am practically salivating as I tear into the book, excited that I will finally learn the truth about the elusive Maxence. As I am reading, I am finding that Maxence's unveiling is happening at the rate of an excruciatingly slow strips tease. The end of "Rogue" finds me with almost as many questions regarding who Maxence is as the beginning of the book-- but I promise that slooowly he is starting to be unveiled. One thing that is made abundantly clear is that Maxence lives two polar opposite lives and this results in my finding myself even MORE intrigued by him. Now THIS is what I consider phenomenal writing!" -- Lil Miss Reads A Lot Book Blog

After four fantastic days shopping, eating wonderful food, seeing all the famous sites, and having sensual sex, Dree and Maxence found it difficult to part ways. Their lives are being threatened. The adventure unfolds more exciting and interesting events. Great storyline with fabulous characters. Entertaining start to the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Start to the Maxence Series
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2021

This is a good start to the Maxence series, which I have been waiting for. Maxence is an interesting character, and this first book provides a good introduction to his love interest, Dree.

I like that Maxence was so willing to help Dree, just because she seemed to be a woman in distress. I liked that helping women in distress was just something he frequently did.

It bothered me that Maxence was so open to sexual experiences, even though he had taken a vow of celibacy in his quest to become a priest. I get that he probably isn't really going to end up as a priest, but it still bothers me that he broke his vows so much. He did feel guilty about it, and always confessed, but still ...

I will say that I prefer romances to have less kinky sex. Ever since 50 Shades of Grey was such a success, most romances feature at least some BDSM and some kinky scenes. This is true of most of Blair's Babylon's books and series. I still read them, because her writing/plots are very good -- but I wish more romances would feature love scenes that do not contain BDSM or a lot of kink.

I am glad I waited until all the Maxence books were out to start this series -- because I can't wait to find out what happens next. I won't give spoilers on the other Billionaire books, but I will say that I absolutely did not think Pierre suffered enough for what he had done. I also hope that Maxence's Uncle Jules gets what is coming to him before this series ends -- sounds like he deserves it.

My rating system is below.
1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it.
2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws.
3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating.
4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one.
5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.

I loved reading Rogue:(Billionaires in Disguise: Maxence Book 1)!!!! All about Dree Clark a twenty-five year old Nurse practitioner from Phoenix, Arizona USA & Maxence Grimaldi a thirty year old rescuer from Paris, France. They met in a bar when Dree was drunk & Maxence saved her from all the men. Dree had never been to Paris before, so Augusta downed a new name for this excursion and they enjoyed a five night four day adventure in Paris as king & queen!!! This was a totally unexpected story that will grip you on page 1 and not let go until the last word on the last page! It’s gripping and suspenseful and totally captivating!!! Lots of emotions and toe curling incidents throughout!!! I can’t wait to read the next book!!!! Definite Read!!!

Now THIS is what I consider phenomenal writing! I am 1,000% invested in learning about Maxence. Like I eagerly awaited the publication of "Rogue", I will eagerly await the release of the next installment, "Order". Dree is simply intriguing and there could not be a more perfect pairing for a man like Maxence. She has the perfect blend of naivety, inner strength, humor, self-deprecation, and ball-busting fighting skills. She is utterly fascinating and now I am eager to learn more about the two of them combined. Rogue is simply genius writing. If you miss out on reading this series, you are seriously depriving yourself of reading what is sure to be the must read series of 2020/2021. 1-click buy today!

Sorry, no spoilers here! Lol! The covers alone for Blair Babylon's books are enough to make a red blooded woman fidget in her seat. The guarantee of what lies within? Well, settle back, get nice and comfy; 'cause you've a guarantee of a sensuous, scandalous ride through some of the most wildly erotic territory you've ever had the frustration of trying to stay still in that cozy seat... I guarantee those oh so hot, can barely breathe scorching hot wet dreams will soon have Maxence and Dree frolicking with you in them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awww max, you've melted my heart.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2020

WOW…..just WOW! I must admit that Max was not a character I had initially warmed to in previous BID series. Oh, how I should’ve known better, after all, this is Blair Babylon we are talking about. Queen of suspense, action, hot hot romance and deeply emotional characters and storylines that leave their mark on your heart and soul.

We saw a glimpse of Max’s Sir Galahad personality in One Night In Monaco and Indecent Proposal. In Rogue we finally begin to unwrap the layers that make up Maxence. It is here we start to see the scars that run deep within his soul. I must admit these are the parts that broke my heart. The need to hug and care for this poor man who has seen extraordinarily little of it in his life was overwhelming. Throughout the book I found myself connecting to Max’s (Auggie) character in a way I thought I never would.

Dree has such a big, big heart. Innocent in the deceptive ways of the world and oh so trusting. Dree doubts herself so much and takes all the blame on her own shoulders. I believe Dree is the balm to heal Max’s broken soul and there is no one better than max to show Dree all the world can offer and so much more besides. When Dree told Auggie “Don’t give up on love. There’s someone out there waiting for a guy like you” I was screaming at my kindle” yeh, it’s you, you!!!!” I found myself extremely frustrated at Drees sister Mandy, especially when she would not believe Dree when she was trying to explain the situation. I understand she was panicking about the money for her sons’ care, but she should have supported Dree, after all it is not up to Dree to provide care for Mandy’s son. I wanted to give her a good shake on Drees behalf.

When Max (Auggie) received his next assignment and Dree gained help from Sister Annunciata, I could not help but feel there was a higher power was at work (Blair). The universe, so to speak, was at work putting these two together. I am looking forward to reading Max’s point of view when he opened the door and saw Dree standing there.

I am excited to see where the story will lead us and what is instore for Max and Dree.

This took me by surprise. I enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting. I think this was because there is more to “Auggie” than you think. I like that Dree, even though she has been wronged, can pack a punch. And she comes out with some funny wee quips. Have already moved straight on to the next in the series.

This is not really book 3, it is 1,2 and 3. Having said that it is an intriguing story with nicely contrasting characters (the wealthy, sophisticated, mysterious European and the poor, naive, honest American) who enjoy an interesting sexual relationship.
I did feel that the descriptions of Paris and the well known landmarks read like a travelogue or a love affair with the city.
