Oh what a rake!
But is he, really?
Thanks to the Brazen Belle column, the Ton believes Doctor Hades Jones to be the worst of all rakes, a villain in a green coat, that seduces women and takes them to his harem.
Yet Hades is everything but a rake and the culprit is none other than Lady Ophelia.
What ensues is a game of mouse and cat, with Hades seemingly getting the upper hand but with Ophelia escaping his clutch.
Doomed to be together, or so they believe, they found that underneath all that cluster excuse of society, they have more in common than they thought.
While Hades is a well behaved, quiet, professional man, Ophelia is outspoken and fierce.
Her tendencies to place herself in risky situations enerve the man, but he has no intention of leaving her alone.
I simply love Hades devotion to the women in his life. Respectful, loving and protective.
Ophelia is a wildfire, ready to burn herself in the process. A daring woman in difficult times for women. A much necessary help to those excluded, mistreated and scorned.
The Fake February Rake by Charlie Lane, has tropes such as a marriage of convenience, mistaken identity, rebellious heroine, and a sort of "enemies to lovers" touch that I absolutely love, this story is a lovely slow burn, with hints of spice 🔥, and a mild conflict quickly solved.
It's the second story in The Rake Review series, written by multi authors, and I'm enjoying them so far. Curious about the next one, Mad Duke March.
