Falling for a Rake by Eve Pendle
3.0
✨✨3.5✨✨
I really enjoyed this fresh take on Victorian HR. Also the real history of it was fascinating (and disturbing), the Victorian’s “fern fever” is such an odd hobby. The Contagious Diseases Act info was horrific but unsurprising.
I do this this book was too long in that the main characters seemed to go round in circles just repeating the same conflict without really having any attempt at loving to a resolution. All would seem to be moving in that direction only for the next paragraph to do a complete 180 on the characters feelings etc.
Overall I found the story very unique with characters who had actually done bad things trying to find a way to being a better person but still themselves.
I will definitely be continuing as the next book is a character I’m very interested in seeing their story arc.
