Sally Bowes is a scandalous figure in Edwardian London. The owner of the
outrageously fashionable night club, The Blue Parrot, Sally guards her
business and her heart well. But when she meets Jack Kestrel, both come
under threat... Jack Kestrel is known as the last rake in London. Descended from the ancestral line of the devastatingly attractive Dukes of Kestrel, Jack is dangerous and dissolute and irresistible. When Jack and Sally start a passionate affair, neither of them think that the last rake in London might finally lose his heart. Praise for The Last Rake in London: "Cornick gives the reader a fine overview of the Edwardian period. She combines a handsome rogue and an independent woman in this sexually charged romance that shows how true love can overcome guilt and heal wounded hearts." Romantic Times BookClub Magazine 4 Stars! Utterly delectable, superbly written and mesmerizing... a rip-roaring tale that will charm and delight readers everywhere! Fast-paced, poignant and romantic, The Last Rake in London is an outstanding historical romance by one of the genre’s brightest stars!" Julie Bonello, Cataromance, 4 and a half stars! "There aren't nearly enough historical romances written in the Edwardian period, and lucky for readers that Cornick has written an especially fine one. Snap it up." The Good, the bad and the unread. “A steamy, enjoyable
historical romance. I could not put this book down… Witty dialogue,
sizzling, seductive romance, irresistible secondary characters and the
well-matched hero and heroine make this a memorable read. THE LAST RAKE IN
LONDON is a book that I will keep to read repeatedly.”
The Last Rake in London was written especially to celebrate the Mills & Boon Centenary of 2008 and was published in the UK in May 2008 and in the US in June 2008. It is linked to the Bluestocking Brides Trilogy. |
