Never Romance a Rake

Never Romance a Rake by Liz Carlyle Summary: If he wins this hand... Shunning the glittering elite of high society Kieran, Baron Rothewell, prefers the dangerous pursuits of London's demimonde. Hardened by a tormented past, he cares little for anyone or anything. So how can he resist the wager proposed by the dissolute Comte de Valigny? A hand of cards for the possession of the comte's exquisite daughter. Will he win her heart? Abandoned by her highborn father -- until he decides to use her -- Mademoiselle Camille Marchand puts no trust in an aristocrat's honor, especially that of the notorious baron. She too is gambling -- for her life -- and Rothwell is just one more card to be used. But whatever dark desires run through his veins call to her own, and the heart plays its own game -- winner take all! Angie's Comments: It takes a while for Kieran’s and Camille’s personalities to emerge, but once they did I enjoyed the book. The secondary characters are fantastic, including Chin-Chin (or Jim if you prefer). No new ground is covered in this romance novel, but it is a comfortable read. Recommended for romance readers who want a relaxing read. Request this item
