My Review <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Josie
\nBonham has done it again; The Rake\u2019s Rescued Bride<\/a> is very well written and from
\nthe moment I started reading I could not put the book down. It has a fast-paced
\nplot which kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen. It was
\npacked full to the brim with suspense and the threat of impending danger. Twisting
\namongst the fast-paced plot you then get Lucy and Bertie\u2019s chemistry, which was
\nquite slow paced, making it feel like we were dancing round the edge of a potential
\nromance in the making. Will they or wont they end up together \u2013 I wont spoil it
\nfor you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If
\nyou have not read any of the previous books in the series, don\u2019t worry, it
\nwould work as a stand – alone novel, although, I enjoy the fact that we revisit
\ncharacters from previous books, and think it adds a familiarity and depth that
\njust enhances my enjoyment of each book. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Overall
\nif you enjoy the regency period and love a romance then you should love this.
\nThis book was certainly one of those books that you want to keep reading to
\nfind out what happens but as the pages pass by, you suddenly realise you don\u2019t
\nwant it to end.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank
\nyou, Josie Bonham for letting me read and review your wonderful book. Yet again
\nyou have created a thoroughly enjoyable, hard to put down read. I certainly
\nlook forward to your next book.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
