The race is on in this sexy new Regency series. To prevent three dukes from shoving their way into the royal line, the monarchy will dangle the ton’s most notorious rakes before the dukes’ intended brides. They’ll cause a scandal, then call off any plans of matrimony. But just who will have the last laugh?
Rhys plans the seduction of Olivia like the cavalry officer he was, but when a series of mishaps convinces him that someone wants to get rid of her–permanently–he becomes her fiercest protector…even at the cost of his own heart.

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Olivia, is something of a wallflower, would rather spend her days tending her flowers or riding her horse.

Rhys, an outcast since the war, lived by his own rules. While trying to find away to clear his name.

Olivia and Rhys meet when, Rhys calls upon her claiming to be the representative of the Duke of Clarence, whom was interested in marrying her for her families wealth. Not long after Rhys and Olivia meet, mysterious attacks start happening. Olivia turns to Rhys for solace and help. The more time they spend together the attracted to each other they become.

I really enjoyed the plot of Waking up with a Rake, it was full passion and mystery. The twists and turns in the plot led to a very interesting turn out. I loved how the story line kept me on my toes.

I also really enjoyed the character development which the was no shortness of.

I cant wait to read the rest of the Royal Rakes series!

I give Waking up with a Rake five cocktails!
