A review by tessanne
The Rakess by Scarlett Peckham

4.0

Four stars for this book, mainly because it did So.Much. Having the heroine as the rake(ss) was very interesting! It really made me think about how her character behaved in comparison to most rake stories we get, though those usual stories often show less of the rather darker side of the rakes’ behavior. We actually get the story of Sera overcoming and moving past—or trying to—some of her difficulties, not just the all-too-frequent change that happens with a traditional rake story, when he seems to quickly be able to change because of his new feelings.

The one disappointment I had with this book was the sex—for being The Rakess, it was tamer than I expected, especially the pacing.

Very enjoyable read, definitely nice to have this different perspective.
