The Ruin of a Rake by Cat Sebastian

4.0

4 stars

Cat Sebastian has turned into an auto-buy for me and The Ruin of a Rake pretty much sealed the deal. Lord Courtenay is as calculated and smooth as Julian is emotionally awkward, but somehow they both bring out the best in each other as they work towards a common goal: reuniting Courtenay with his beloved nephew, Simon.

I have to say that I adored Julian. Despite not being the most outwardly emotional or empathetic person, he does care - he just cares in his own way. Courtenay is easier to love in this book, with all his sexy louche-ness and his idgaf attitude, but it's Julian who made me smile with his sharp tongue and his rather surprising sharpshooter skills. In any case, I loved them both and thought their HEA was beautifully understated and lovely.

Recommend.
