The Good Girl's Guide to Rakes by Eva Leigh
4.0
The Good Girl's Guide to Rakes was one spicy historical romance. I went into this book pretty blind and didn't expect at all what I got, it was so much more! I do love a good love story between a notorious rake and innocent debutante. My first Eva Leigh book definitely didn't disappoint!
At first glance this is a pretty straighforward premise that has been done a lot in historical romance: Rake Kieran Ransome needs to find a wife but has a terrible reputation so he turns to the most proper woman he knows, which just happens to be his best friend's little sister, Celeste Kilburn. She agrees to introduce him to the right people in society during the day if he shows her the wild and scandalous side of London at night. And so a deal was made.
Like I said before, the premise of the story isn't one that hasn't been done before in this genre but I did really enjoy reading it. And what made all the difference were the two amazing main characters. I absolutely loved them whether they were together or had seperate scenes. The both of them saw each other so clearly and accepted them wholly, something what both of their families didn't really do.
And the romance! Ugh! So hot, sexy and dirty. Literally got nothing negative to say about that. This author absolutely knows how to write spicy, fan-yourself, scorching scenes. I could've continued reading about Celeste and Kieran for many more chapters!
I, for one, can't wait to start the next book which is about Finn Ransome (Kieran's brother) and I know it's going to include a marriage of convenience. My absolute favorite trope in historical romance. I'm so excited!
