Rakes and Roses (Proper Romance Regency) by Josi S. Kilpack
Another win for the Mayfield Family Regency Romance series! I really liked the main character Lady Sabrina and her determination to make a better life for herself and to give and serve others. I liked her philosophy with helping others with rules and expectations, and not just giving out free handouts.
This story was easy to read with great characters. Very engaging story line with some drama, especially with Harry Stillman. He was very funny and caring once he got serious about life and was sober.
These books can be read as stand alone books, but previous characters are mentioned which makes it more engaging and fun if you read them in order. I can’t say enough good things about this series! I definitely recommend this funny, never stuffy “proper regency” book!
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
A Mayfield Family Romance – Vol. 3 in the standalone series
Lady Sabrina endured an abusive marriage, a miscarriage, and early widowhood to emerge as a smart, successful, confident woman who found a way to make her mark in a man’s world. She has friends and purpose, but cannot hide from the emptiness she feels when the parties are over and the friends have gone home to families she will never have.
Harry Stillman may be charming and handsome, but he’s a gambler and a rake who has made a mockery of his privileges. He turns to the mysterious Lord Damion for financial relief from his debts, but still ends up beaten nearly senseless by thugs and left in an alley.
When Lady Sabrina comes upon Harry after the attack, she remembers the kindness Harry once showed to her six years ago and brings him to her estate to heal. Though their relationship begins on rocky footing, it soon mellows into friendship, then trust. But Lady Sabrina needs to keep Harry at a distance, even if he is becoming the kind of man worthy of her heart. After all, she is keeping a secret that, if exposed, could destroy everything she’s so carefully built.
