4.1 out of 5 stars 596 ratings

A Rake To The Rescue

Lucy Vaughan has never wanted a husband after witnessing her father’s mistreatment of her mother. Now she faces her worst nightmare, a forced marriage to a man she fears. Who better to help her to flee than Bertie Lovell, the boy who slayed dragons for her when they were children.

Bertie is the black sheep of his family but longs to leave his wild ways behind him and settle down. Lucy’s suitor proves difficult to shake off. Spending so much time together on the road leads to their friendship developing into something deeper. Bertie offers to marry Lucy himself. Can Lucy overcome her fear of marriage and accept Bertie’s offer?

Georgette Heyer meets Mary Balogh in this romantic adventure.

This is book 5 in my Reluctant Bride series of standalone, Regency romances, linked by character.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Josie lives in the English midlands, surrounded by towns full of history such as Evesham, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwick and Worcester. Which is perhaps why her favourite reads are historical. Out of all the periods to choose from the Regency Era stirs her imagination the most. The true Regency lasted from 1811 until 1820 but dates as wide as 1789 to 1837 have been included in the extended Regency period. For Josie the true flavour of this period emerges after the iniquitous hair powder tax of 1795, unsurprisingly, scuppered the fashion for hair powder almost overnight.

Josie has always dabbled in stories but it took the combined efforts of her sister and eldest niece to set her on the path to writing novels. Her Regency romances, with a dash of adventure and intrigue, are the result.

    A rollicking good tale. Not too soppy & quite exciting @ times.
    Really enjoyable read. Much more content than the normal regency romances!

    I really enjoyed the book. Great characters, good and bad, a romance, a kidnapping and treason. What not to like!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Review of 5th book
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 1, 2024
    Nicely drawn characters. A bit hard to keep track of all the names. Perhaps that's just me.

    I recommend this book.
