A review by bwagner
The Rake by Ava Bond

fast-paced

4.0

I enjoyed reading this historical romance story.  This is a newer author for me which I enjoyed their attention to details that made the story come to life.  This is a well written story about secrets, never falling in love and how opposites attract.  Margot has a secret that no one can find out about and the Earl of Langley.  They team up to find out the truth about the duke’s death.  This is where the story heats up.  Not only what they find out about the duke but what they find that they have more in common than they realize.  I enjoyed their characters and what they brought to the story.  They are connectable and have great chemistry.  I enjoyed watching their relationship grow throughout.  This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down and easy to read.  This is a great romance story that has some suspense to it as well.  I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it.
