A review by deb_j
The Rake by Ava Bond

3.0

 

The Rake is the first book in the Daughters of Dishonour series by Ava Bond.

Margot- On the same day she meets her birth father for the first time he is murdered. Margot witnesses the murder and with his dying breath, he asks her to go after the murderer and take back the stolen piece of a map. 

Langley- An Earl who lives next to the Duke. He is known for his parties and not wanting to settle down.

Margot asks Langley for help with the treasure map/ finding the murderer and during their time together love blossoms. 

I don’t normally read historical romances or even mystery novels, but this one came highly recommended by someone who is so I gave it a try. While I did read it, and enjoyed parts of it, I don’t think I can give this book the review it deserves (or stars). It is very well-written and an easy read. It was a good book to get me out of my reading slump.
