Opening Line: “When two gentlemen are related by blood, they do not usually address each other with formality.” Based on all the glowing reviews and accolades THE RAKE has received I was really looking forward to sinking my teeth into this regency romance. And I guess because I’d heard so many go...
I can see why this one won a RITA award. Reggie and Alyce are some of the most layered characters in a romance I've read recently. I found Reggie very realistic in his struggles with alcoholism and reforming. Alyce was a slightly less deep character but only because we've read the beautiful-woman-wh...

The Rake (revised from The Rake and the Reformer) has two of the best characters I've read: Reggie, who is fighting to recover from alcoholism, and Lady Alys, whose actions show that empathy is a strength. Their internal growth is powerful, and believable, and painful, and wonderful. It has solid h...
