binaldoshi252 's review for:
Pursued by the Rake
by Mary Lancaster
I read this after reading and loving the second one in this series.
As with that one, I am convinced that Ms Lancaster is taking inspiration from the OG - Georgette Heyer with this series. One scene in particular brought to mind one of my favourites 'Sprig Muslin'. The rest of it with the children tagging along and a couple of side-quests is very much Heyer.
The way the first chapter reads, if this series was written by Lorraine Heath or Lauren Smith, it could have taken a dark turn. But Ms Lancaster à la Ms Heyer keeps things light.
Why I couldn't like this as much as 'Abandoned to the Prodigal' is the first meeting between our leads. To know that the man you are falling for has been a rake in the past and to actually see that in action and still fall for him are two very different things and I just couldn't get past it even till the very end.
