Customer Reviews

Rose for a Rake

This is an evenly paced story starring a rake who doesn't know if he really wants to be a hero and a belle whose disdain pushes him to prove himself. The supporting characters are delightful, a brazen widow on the hunt, a couple of staunch friends who may end up a couple themselves, and a variety of villagers and tenants. Ms. Raleigh's deft touch and amusing turn of phrase keep the pages turning rapidly. The main problem is that it ends too quickly with only the barest hint of what is to come. Definitely a good way to pass the weekend.

A fun read

I enjoyed this book. The story moves along at a good pace and it is easy to fall in love with the characters. I particularly liked Lord Challmond. He is a rake who is forced to change to win the heart of the woman he loves. It is fun to watch as he becomes the kind of gentleman Claire can love.
