The Rake and the Writer by Eliana PiersMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Another great quick read! Evan is super moody and broody, so it’s fun to see his softer side unfold. Loved it!
Eliana Piers’ “The Rake and the Writer” is an outstanding historical romance that swept me away to the glittering ballrooms and clandestine affairs of Regency London. Set against a backdrop of societal rules and hidden desires, this novelette weaves a spellbinding tale of love, secrets, and redemption.
Lady Felicity has been nearly compromised too many times, and she receives an anonymous letter cautioning her about Evan Ashbourne. Using a pen name, she writes for a prevalent scandal sheet to ensure Evan cannot ruin any naive women. Evan Ashbourne is the grumpy, overworked brother who just needs a break. Especially from all the rumors circulating about his nonexistent rakish ways. It’s the perfect time for a three-legged race. When Felicity gets tied to his ankle and mistakes him for his twin brother, shenanigans ensue. Can enough shenanigans lead to love? And when secrets are finally revealed, will the truth destroy the connection or build a solid foundation for their future?
This is the fifth book in the steamy new regency series, The Ashbourne Legacy, that follows the seven mislabeled brothers of Snow White. Read this novelette if you like sweet and spicy easy reads with witty banter and lovable characters.
