How to Ravish a Rake – Vicky Dreiling – Google Books
I have enjoyed reading Vicky Dreiling in the past. I like her sense of humour, which extends to her characters and their stories. While this book has all of that, the majority of the story is about the need to have sex rqke the primary characters.
Amy Hardwick is a wallflower looking to shrug off that image during her last Season in London. She is hoping for a love match, failing which she may have to return to her parents in the country and marry the local vicar.
She has realized that her dress-designing skills can help her get positive attention as a fashion diva, ridding her of the wallflower tag. When a dressmaker offers her money in exchange for her designs, Amy agrees on the condition that the deal is kept secret. He has the travel bug, partly to stay away from his interfering family.
Romance Reviews by Alice: How to Ravish a Rake
He then tries to raise money by gambling but ends up losing a fortune instead. He considers marrying an heiress but realizes he is better off admitting the truth and asking for help from rafish family. For the brief duration that Will is considering marrying an heiress, he notices Amy Hardwick and attempts to compromise her.
She is too of his rakish tendencies, so she is able to thwart his efforts. Soon after, they are accidentally locked in a wine cellar for an entire night. Will realizes that he feels the need to take care of her as they cuddle and try to stay warm through the night.
Soon afterwards, they are forced into marriage. Amy comes to the marriage without any level of trust in Will, and decides to keep the knowledge of her deal with the dressmaker secret so she can continue saving for an emergency fund.
Will comes to the marriage with the realization that he will have to give up his wanderlust and be committed to a job. Amy asks for a ho period before they consummate the marriage, so they can get to know each other better.
Will agrees to a three-week courtship.
The rest of the book is about both of them getting to know each other better, and learning to trust each other. This book had so much promise in the initial chapters. Wonderful characters although Will does not fit the description of a rake with any yow his behaviorunique personality traits, interesting friends and family.
Dreiling failed to capitalize on any of these strengths.
However, these were completely dropped after the first few chapters. I would almost classify this book semi-erotica had the vocabulary been more explicit.
The highlights of this story truly are the characters. Aunt Hester, with her odd fashions and her blunt dialogue, and Grandmamma are absolutely hysterical.
Dreiling gives them their own books, especially Bell.

This book stands alone as the story, even though it is part of a series. Readers of the series will get some glimpses into characters from both stories.
Overall, this book is charming in parts and forgettable in others. I will continue to look forward to Ragish. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
