A Virgin for the Rakish Marquess: A Historical Regency Romance Novel

Rate this book
“You should have never caught the attention of a man like me.”

The jilted wallflower–that’s what everyone calls Diana. So she never expects her time to be auctioned in a charity event. Nor that the highest bidder would be the worst rake of the ton.

Everything about Marquess James spells danger. For he never sleeps with the same woman twice. Until a bold little mix dares challenge him…and now, he must teach her a lesson.

Five promenades. That’s how long this farce must last. Yet Diana soon finds out the only thing more dangerous than tempting a falling for one.

*If you like a realistic yet steamy depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then A Virgin for the Rakish Marquess is the novel for you.

An enchanting regency romance of 60,000 words (around 300 pages), written by Olivia Bennet and published by Cobalt Fairy.

No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a strong happily ever after.

had a promising plot and characters but execution made me want to go in front of
a firing squad. Paragraphs with seemingly 10+ spacing. Which led to me spacing out for most of the story. Rakish Marquess likes the jilted wallflower, wins her at
a sort of auction. She is hot for him after he pins her against a tree and tempts her with his manliness. He has mommy issues, she has brothers, brief miscommunication, fini 🫠🫡

This is a great story. Diana wants to be left alone after being jilted in public. Her brother and sister take matters into their own hands. James has a reputation as a rake, while Diana is the perfect little lady. You just have to read this book to see what type of deal he makes with her and how it all works out. What starts out as promenades, turns into love. This is a really good story that you don't want to miss.

I loved this story.

This was one of the sweetest love stories of a love that wasn't meant to be. That took them both by suprise. The rake and the spinster are both antagonists. Who have both declared themselves against marriage. Until someone thinks they are just right for each other. I loved this story.

5 Promenades

This story shows how siblings can medal in your life. Diane had a heartbreak in the past and James had a Danish one. Great book with some humor in it. Must read.
