The Rake Who Loves Me

Scandalous Gentlemen, Book 2

By: Dawn Brower

Narrated by: Harry Frost

Lady Violet Keene has secretly loved Zachariah Barton, the Marquess of Merrifield, for a while. The marquess doesn't seem to notice her, so she decides to give up on that dream, especially since they bicker more often than not. When a scandal threatens to destroy her reputation, she has a decision to make. Live with the ramifications of it, or marry the one man she's always adored without a promise of love in return.

Zachariah doesn't believe he's good enough for Violet, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about her or that he'd fail to protect her if necessary. Love doesn't have to be a part of their bargain. They're both better off without that fickle emotion.

They both have choices to make, and only time will tell if love will become a part of their lives.

Enjoyable

This was a good listen. I enjoyed the stoand the characters. There is adventures and interesting moments. This is a good quick read. The narration was good.

Twins

Two sisters from Book 1 are featured in Book 2 as they get a taste of the manipulations of the Ton. Events, holiday preparations and bets fuel the plot as a happy ending is in sight. Recommend reading the series in order.

Violet & Zachariah

The second book in the Scandalous Gentlemen series, Lady Violet Keene and Zachariah Barton, the Marquess of Merrifield's story. The story is well written and held my interest as she made her choice. I enjoyed listening to Harry Frost narrate this story and bring it to life.

one of the twins got married

Lady Violet had always loved the Marquess of Merrifield. They spent time together and then a situation happened causing them to make a decision.
The narrator had a very nice voice, perfect for the narration and for the Marquess' voice. The behavior and story are traditional/typical one, but this was good to know how one by one the scandalous gentlemen falls into the marriage trap.

Annoying Heroine and Sister

This is a peculiar little story that I wasn't really wild about. The heroine and her sister are just too bold for women of the era, chancing their reputations over silly little things like strolling unchaperoned on a walkway known as a site for naughty assignations. I don't like bubble-headed heroines! I did find it amusing when the hero asked her father for her hand, not specifying which sister he was interested in until dear old dad asked him to!
