The Ruin of a Rake

Reread January 2021
Love the ending. By ending, I literally mean the final chapter. Love the ... uniquely worded words of endearment because Julian just cannot say it. Love the fact that what you see is most definitely NOT what you get with these two.


Original Review
I love both these guys so much. They are so wonderfully imperfect and simply amazing together. I will say, I was surprised how quickly their relationship moves, but I guess that was for the issue that cropped up late in the story. For once, it wasn't a misunderstanding. (I'm going to avoid spoilers here, but let's just say that it was handled wonderfully and totally believably for these two characters.)

I love Julian - admittedly, repressed characters are exactly the kind I LOVE to see unbend - and he's so prim and proper that when he does, it's gorgeous. And I adore Courtenay who is such a sweetheart that I just want to hug him and never let go.
