The title and the cover totally sucked me into reading this book. I mean, “The Good Girls Guide to Rakes” is just such a fun title. This is Eva Leigh’s new series called Last Chance Scoundrels. Our first couple is Kieran and Celeste. Kieran and his brother Finn convinced Dom to leave their sister at the altar. Of course, scandal ensues and now Kieran needs to find a respectable bride or be financially cut off. Kieran asks his best friend’s sister, Celeste Kilburn, to help him on this bride quest. Celeste agrees, but with some stipulations. She wants to explore the seedier side of London and experience gaming hells, wild fêtes, and sensual art salons. She can’t get caught, but she really wants to explore what is out there. Celeste always goes in disguise and as her and Kieran spend all that time together, some feelings develop. They both had some preconceived notions of each other, but as they got to know each other, the chemistry really started to heat up. I think what made me fall in love with Kieran was how devoted he was to helping Celeste find her independence. And how protective he became of her. I also think it’s super sexy that Kieran is a poet. I mean, hello…*fans self*. Celeste is also a very likable character. She sacrificed a lot for her family and is willing to settle for a business-like marriage arrangement. But she wants to do something for herself first.
This book has great dialogue, fun characters, descriptive setting and of course, a happily ever after. I think if you are looking for a fun historical romance, this might be for you. It’s got a good balance of sexy steaminess, fun and intrigue. As a reader, you will definitely be rooting for the couple to hurry up and get together.
