Wild Wild Rake
(The Cavensham Heiresses #6). Janna MacGregor. 2020. St. Martin’s
Paperbacks. (ARC paperback).
Lady
Avalon, the widowed Marchioness of Warwyk, has spent the last nine
years raising her son and younger sister by
herself, as
well as establishing a well-respected standing in the community of
Thistledown; all with little interference from her son’s guardian,
the Duke of Larkton. But now,
as the young lord Warwyk is of age to attend Eton and Avalon is
attempting to expand her charity work, she finds that the Duke has
sent his brother to spy on her under the ruse of tutoring her son in
Latin. Avalon has no use for Devan Farris but it proves harder than
expected to
send him on his way as
he quickly ingratiates himself in the parish as the charming new
vicar.
Both
Avalon and Devan think they know who each other are; Devan is a
reputed rake, untrustworthy of Avalon’s confidences, and Avalon is
cold and haughty,
having jilted Devan’s best friend in the past. But they will find
that they could not be more wrong.
This
regency romance is
set
in a unique
countryside
parish and
is full of heart and intelligently-written characters. A definite
read for those looking for a determined
heroine, a swoon-worthy hero, and delightful banter.
