Summary
When a devil-may-care rake rescues a frosty young widow from highwaymen, their lives become deliciously entangled.
Decimus Pryor is one of London’s most notable rakes. He saunters through life, trysting with young widows and making people laugh. But rumors have spread that his skills in the bedroom are overrated. The young widows are laughing at him, not with him, and slamming shut the doors to their boudoirs.
Eloïse Fortrose, widow of the late Viscount Fortrose, has always spurned Decimus’s advances, but when he rescues her from highwaymen, she discovers that there’s a lot more to this Casanova than meets the eye.
What better way to heat up the chilly autumn nights than to indulge in a brief liaison? They’ll frolic between the sheets, laugh a little, restore Decimus’s standing as a rake, then go their separate ways.
Eloïse doesn’t believe in love and neither does Decimus...but love is coming for them both, whether they want it to or not.
This Regency romance features one dashing rake, one beautiful young widow, three hapless highwaymen, a master of disguise, and a sprinkling of magic.
Contains mature themes. A Regency romance with steamy love scenes.
Performed by Audie-winning narrator Rosalyn Landor.

What a joy
Emily Larkin can do no wrong with these delightful books. Rosalyn Landor brings the characters to life superbly. Highly recommended.

Disappointed
As a fan of Emily Larkin, I felt this one was not to her usual standard. Don't think that there was much of a story or magic in it. First half dedicated to anatomical bedroom scenes, breakfasts with brioche and not much else. Actually "brioche" and "he was a rake" were the most used words in the whole story.
The distress of our hero to change his bedroom attitude was a little overplayed.
Introduction of kittens, puppies , butterflies and children makes a dull read a bit cuter in general and badly needed in this book, as all other characters were rather cliché in spite of grand titles and ability to act out different personalities by changing one's appearance. Thanks to very talented Rosalyn Landor the book does not completely sink, as she injects some life into it. Hope the next one by E. L. will be better written.
