The Rebels and Rogues series collects ten of Krentz’s category romances from the early to mid-1990s, all featuring heroes who fit the “rebel” or “rogue” archetype. From The Private Eye to Christmas Knight, each book pairs an unconventional hero with a heroine who matches his energy. The series reflects the category romance conventions of its era while showcasing Krentz’s ability to create memorable characters within a formulaic structure.
These books are shorter and more focused than Krentz’s later work, concentrating on the chemistry between two people rather than complex suspense plots. They provide a window into her early career and the category romance tradition that launched her to bestseller status.
