My Fake Rake
The Union of the Rakes Book 1
by Eva Leigh
Genre: Historical Romance
Publisher: Avon
Publication Date: November 26, 2019
In the first book in Eva Leigh's new Union of the Rakes series, a bluestocking enlists a faux suitor to help her land an ideal husband only to be blindsided by real desire…
Lady Grace Wyatt is content as a wallflower, focusing on scientific pursuits rather than the complications of society matches. But when a handsome, celebrated naturalist returns from abroad, Grace wishes, for once, to be noticed. Her solution: to “build” the perfect man, who will court her publicly and help her catch his eye. Grace’s colleague, anthropologist Sebastian Holloway, is just the blank slate she requires.
To further his own research on English society, Sebastian agrees to let Grace transform him from a bespectacled, bookish academic into a dashing—albeit fake—rake. Between secret lessons on how to be a rogue and exaggerated public flirtations, Grace’s feelings for Sebastian grow from friendship into undeniable, inconvenient, real attraction. If only she hadn’t asked him to help her marry someone else...
Sebastian is in love with brilliant, beautiful Grace, but their bargain is complete, and she desires another. Yet when he’s faced with losing her forever, Sebastian will do whatever it takes to tell her the truth, even if it means risking his own future—and his heart.
REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.
What a great romance novel this is! Grace is a very smart woman stuck in a time where that is not appreciated. Her life is going fine though I told her father gets sick asking her to marry sooner rather than later. With a specific man in mind she recruits her friend Sebastian to play a rake interested in her. Things go awry when they start to practice together as feelings start coming into play that will detail the whole plan. Proves love has a mind of its own as the story plays out. A great historical ro!ance that will help you hooked until the very end. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
