Lord Rakehell
Ratings1
Average rating4
Lord James Hamilton, heir to the Duke of Abercorn and attendant to the young Prince of Wales, is in no rush to find a wife and take on a more responsible life. James has earned his reputation as a rakehell of London. Then a feisty beauty piques his interest, and he finds himself obsessed. Lady Anne Curzon-Howe has long been besotted with her dear friend's handsome elder brother, James. But Lord Hamilton's rakish ways are notorious for a reason, and convincing him to love her will be an incredible -- albeit rewarding -- challenge.

I love Virginia Henley's historical romances! She transports me so completely with her vivid characters and stories. A Woman of Passion and A Year and a Day are my absolute favorites and while this one didn't surpass those two titles for me I still enjoyed it quite a bit. The ending was a little abrupt for me and I would have loved to have more resolution on the the final scandal and the rivalry between James and his brother. I also wished for more of a redemption of James' reputation but his loyalty likely would have prevented that. However, the romance between Anne and James more than made up for these quibbles.
