Description from the publisher:
Dashing and rakish by day, secretive
and daring by night, Reed Valentine, Duke of Keswick’s uncanny ability to lie
at a moment’s notice makes him an ideal candidate to spy for His Majesty’s
Secret Service. But now that the war is over, and Napoleon is exiled to the
island of St. Helena, he finds himself adrift. The life of a wealthy nobleman
isn’t enough to satisfy him.
When the government tasks him with one last mission—to find out who is trying to kill Napoleon—Reed takes on the job with gusto. Disguising himself, he slips into the Romani world while convinced that one of them will know who was responsible for the attempt.
Orelia finds herself charmed by the stranger in their midst. When he comes to her rescue, however, that infatuation quickly comes to an end. As far as Orelia is concerned, the Romanis are being used as scapegoats—as usual. She’s determined to prove Reed wrong.
Together, they set out to find the truth. With their combined quick tongues and ability to slip in and out of society, it should be easy. But the more time spent together, the harder it becomes to understand—why can’t a duke and a poor gypsy girl be together? Will their wits be enough to carry them through their treacherous journey and bring them together, or will their differences and the danger force them apart?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE RAKE WHO RESCUED ME is a
stand-alone historical romance. The
romantic in me suggests that there should be a companion novel for Reed’s
brother, Noah.
There is a modernity to the
attitudes of Reed and Orelia – women and men working together as spies for the
good of the government – that runs in juxtaposition to the Regency era that I
thought just proved that people are the same no matter the period.
Orelia is at times strong, but
vulnerable, a perfect picture of all of us kittens who want to roar. I love how Reed encourages her to roar! I love how they roar together!! This is a wonderful romance, sweet-spy
adventure, and story of acceptance in differences (gypsies, disabilities,
classifications - it doesn’t matter!).
I will always one-click a book
available from Samantha Holt! I’m sure
you heard me squee from here to where you live when I saw this one put
online. Now, I’m going through my Kindle
to see what I have next…. See you soon!
