Review: A Rake's Rebellion by Cynthia Breeding
A Rake's Rebellion by Cynthia BreedingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book starts with Lord Barclay waking up after a night of drinking in bed with a fully dressed woman in his bed. When she tells him that they are married, his wheels start turning looking for a way out.
Sarah Vincent, is an orphan who was raised in an American convent. She didn't ask for this marriage but she's willing to try if only her groom wasn't set on keeping their marriage in name only.
This book is a bit of a slow burn. Their first kiss doesn't happen till some point near the end. But the story definitely kept me interested.
Sarah has to figure out how to fit into the social scene even though she has no interest. With the help of Lady Caroline, a new wardrobe is ordered and when her husband sees her and notices she has a figure that she once hid under her drab dresses. When he observes other men taking notice of his wife, he does not like it and tries to stamp down the feelings it brings up.
They both want to make this a real marriage but both have a hard time expressing this. He doesn't want her to think he's going back on their original agreement and Sarah's inexperience leaves her unsure of how to seduce her husband.
This was my first time reading a book by this author and I really enjoyed her writing. I'm looking forward to reading the first two books in this series. This ARC was provided by Entangled Publishing for an honest review.
