The Elusive Rake

by Marcy Elias Rothman

A lovely artist's brother puts her welfare in the hands of the most irresistible rake in the realm. And when his handsome face begins to inspire her with more than the desire to capture him on canvas, she realizes that she is not only taking lessons in design from one master, but taking lessons in love from another--at a price that might be ruinous.

Customer Reviews

A superb historical and romantic adventure

The Elusive Rake is a rousing Regency romance that will provide much pleasure to readers. The resplendent details bring the era to life even as they help propel the plot to its steamy climax. The lead protagonists add much heat as well as intelligence to the story. Marcy Rothman has captured the flavor of nineteenth century London. Her strong female character conveys a look at not only women's roles of the time, but the spirit of one at odds with that role. The attention to detail provides us with delicious escapism while also enlightening the reader about the social mores of the period. I rate this book five stars.

Can't wait for the next book

I loved this book! Marcy Rothman does it time and again. I am an avid reader of Ms. Rothman and can't wait until the next book comes out. The characters of Lady Jane and Lord Alexander really come to life. It really is a must read book.

The perfect heroine

Really fun to read, great romance. I love all of Ms. Rothman's books that I have read. Lady Jane is the perfect heroine. If they make a movie of it I would like to see Gwyneth Paltrow as Lady Jane.
