Wild, Wild Rake

Wild, Wild Rake

The Cavensham Heiresses

by Janna MacGregor

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

This is a wonderful ugly duckling story! Poor Lady Avalon Warwyk is married married to a man who doesn’t even like her for her parents and husbands gain. Thankfully first husbands don’t live for ever! After she was banished to the country estate his her son, Lady Avalon devoted her like to the community and women needing an escape from terrible situations. She finds peace and contentment in her community and good deeds. She barely noticing her quiet and somewhat lonely existence with all of her activity.

Can a vicar be a rake??? Well, the handsome and charming Devan Farris sure has the reputation of a rake… even is its not true. But what harm can come from the reputation of being a ladies man if it keeps all the ladies his brother tries to match him up with at bay? Well, for one, when you finally do find your one and only can she ever trust you after your lies by omission?

Avalon and Devan are a perfect pairing and it was a lot of fun watching them come together (trough some outside influences) and find a way to trust and love each other. I am a big fan of a good second chance romance, and Avalons tale is definitely that! Devan is a Devan as the virgin vicar was  book boyfriend material. This story also had plenty of twists and turns that kept me on my toes, but didn’t leave me over stressed. All in all this was a great read, and I highly recommend it!

Wild, Wild Rake by Janna MacGregor is scheduled to release February 25th, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin’s Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love!

Girls Before Earls

Girls Before Earls Rogues to Lover, Book 1 by Anna Bennett ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 This was a fun and fast paced start to a new series! Orphaned herself, Miss Hazel Lively has set about to make more than a school for her for her Bellhaven Academy, she wants it to become a family. And with the handful of girls enrolled and her assistant they have that connection … but a school can’t survive on care and respect. Bellhaven needs more paying students enrolled.  Kitty has been expelled from more boarding schools than her guardian can count. The fledgling Bellhaven Academy is Gabriel Beckett, the Earl of Bladenton’s last hope to get his niece off of his hands. Too bad that Bellhaven’s headmistress expects more from her students families and demands that the Earl visit his ward every fortnight and spend time with her as in order to secure her enrolment… How hard can a by-weekly visit be?? Not hard at all when Gabriel soon finds that he can’t get the up tight headmistress out of his thoughts...

My Contrary Mary

My Contrary Mary Voice Galley by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, & Jodi Meadows ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 What a fun treat to be back in the world of Verities and Eðians (shapeshifters)that readers were introduced to in My Lady Jane! In this re-telling of the story of Mary Queen of Scots, we are shown her life at court in France where she awaits to be married to her betrothed, the France Dauphin, Francis. Both Mary and Francy are nearly pawns in their elders plans, but they yearn for a time when they will be able to rule together and make a difference to their respective kingdoms.  Like the other Janite books before this, magic and comedy play a big role and make this story a lot of fun. The comedic references to modern movies were such a hoot to spot and decipher what movie they were from! This book went at a relatively quick pace and followed our teenage royalty as they attempt to find a way to rule in a divided world. The Verities and Eðians seem like a good representation of the Cat...
