The Earnshaws #1

Captain Rakehell

Rate this book
Marriage to such a lord was a fate worse than death! True, Amanda Gilbertson hadn't seen the toad-eating wretch since they were both children, but that didn't stop her from spending the Duchess of Braxton's party hiding in a tree to avoid the loathsome man. But Fate played its delightful hand that evening when she found herself in the potent midnight embrace of the black-masked Captain Rakehell. He was a thief, no doubt, but a romantic dream-come-true compared to the ridiculous fop who had just been announced as Lesley Earnshaw, her bethrothed. Amanda knew her preordinal future would change forever, if she could only determine the true identity of the notorious Captain Rakehell. "A rousing Regency romantic romp" Harriet Klausner, The Best Reviews; "There is something going on every minute in this lighthearted romp" Virginia DeWeese, Rendezvous

For only having written two Regencies, Jane Lynson is remarkably good at it! Why she stopped writing in the genre, I don't know, but I do wish she had written more! The characters were fleshed out well, attention to custom and period details was also taken into account, and the story was just plain fun! I really liked it and can't wait to reach the second in this duology about the Earnshaw brothers!
