A review by kellysbookishglamlife
The Art of Ruining a Rake by Emma Locke

5.0

*I received a copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.

I couldn't put it down! I was pulled in straight away with the backstory with her parents and that she refused to marry him. It's very clear from the way they can't keep their hand off of each other that there is something pulling them together, but so many things are keeping them apart at the same time. They both had to grow and learn about themselves and let go of the past. I loved how the writing of a book went along with everything. The ending is one that I wasn't for sure how it would happen.

Lucy had a mind of her own and a fear from the past that kept her from marrying. She is full of surprises and I never knew how she would react to something. I loved when she finally listened to her brother and her heart. 

Roman is a rake of a different kind. He had secrets in his past that needed to be told for everyone's sake. I loved how he was so willing to change and not just for himself, but his family too. He did what he had to for everyone.

I loved seeing Roman's working together and doing what they had to do.
