Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean

5.0

---

I had so much fun with this book, I loved Lady Calpurnia and her Rake, Gabriel. This is a new author for me and I adored her writing. There were laugh out funny parts, great smexytimes and some that were rip your heart out, smash it up and hand it back to you moments. And lets not forget - 9 things that ladies should never do - even if they are confirmed spinsters! I've got book 2 & 3 in this series waiting for me at home and I am thoroughly looking forward to getting stuck into them.

I don't often read regency, I have been more lately, the last ARRC has encouraged me to try more, so in all honesty I don't know how accurate it is in a 'regency' sense, but really when I'm enjoying a book this much, I just don't care :)

Not only did I enjoy the two main characters, I like the supporting cast, I'm hoping St John & Benedict, Gabriel/Callie's brothers, both get their own books. And even moreso I would absolutely LOVE IT if Anne, Callie's maid/helper lady got her own book. Callie's mother, although you didn't see her much, reminded me of Mrs. Bennett, with her almost volcanic excitement about upcoming marriages.

All in all this was a fantastic romp through the regency era, and a place that I'd love to return to.
