Description from the publisher:
Wallflowers and rakes do seldom mix
well.
Miss Chloe Larkin is completely assured of that. Especially when said rake is a member of the Waverly family--the people responsible for a feud that has been ongoing since practically the dawn of time.
Miss Chloe Larkin is completely assured of that. Especially when said rake is a member of the Waverly family--the people responsible for a feud that has been ongoing since practically the dawn of time.
But he comes offering a deal...
The centuries-old feud between the Larkins and the Waverleys has taken its toll. Brook Waverly wants this fight solved. Now. His ageing father cannot take much more of the stress and he's determined the problem shall be resolved before he comes to inherit.
So he needs her help...
Chloe is distrustful of Mr. Waverley--and rightly so. Not only is he her lifelong enemy but he has a reputation that would make the most experienced of women blush. And boy does he make this wallflower blush! However, she has little interest in continuing the silly feud and, with her little brother set to inherit one day and her father's failing health, the sooner it is all over, the better.
Working with the handsome, and far too charming Mr. Waverley to get their fathers to come to an agreement is...interesting. Especially when he seems to be less concerned with ending the feud and more interested in her. Can she really trust him or is this just another way for his family to get their revenge on hers?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MARRIED TO THE RAKE is the first
book in the Wallflower Brides
series. Each will be a stand-alone
historical romance, but why would you read just one?
Three wallflowers have made it to
the end of another Season. Chloe is a
true introvert and bookworm. Joanna was
recently widowed after a short marriage.
Augusta is a romantic and has been engaged for two years. She bides her time until her fiancé returns
from his world travels – not that her friends believe that he will.
I loved that this one could almost
be classified as a “clean romance.” It
was more about the emotions and the seduction of heart and mind than about
seducing the body. I loved the sneaking
away to be together for the good of their families and slowly falling in
love. I loved that he knew first and she
was hard to convince. I loved that it
was all absolutely swoon-worthy.
This is a wonderful story and I
can’t wait to read the next in the series.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
