A review by lassarina
The Good Girl's Guide to Rakes by Eva Leigh
5.0
Two leads who have much more to themselves than they show the world, dirty talk, hot intimate scenes, secret identities--oh my.
I loved both Celeste's kindness and her ruthless skill at the social game; I loved Kieran's constant awareness of how his actions were impacting her and his friends, and how he worked within that. The burden of expectations--crushing in her case, harmfully absent in his--was equally devastating to both of them and I liked the way they navigated that and supported each other. I also adored Rosalind as a friend and the little nods to queerness and people of color simply being there in a way many historical romance authors don't address. (I want Rosalind's book.)
