Synopsis:
HE’S
MADE A DANGEROUS WAGER
Ambrose Worthing is no gentleman. He’s a proud cold-hearted rake
who’s determined to stay a bachelor forever. He enjoys bedding a different
woman every night without the risk of falling in love. When he hears about a
wager over the seduction and ruination of the daughter of his father’s best
friend, he knows he must intervene. Committing himself to the bet, he agrees to
seduce Lady Alexandra Rockford—for her own good. He never expected the lady in
question to be a beautiful, fiery creature who has passions of her own that call
to his guarded heart.
SHE’S
VOWED NEVER TO FALL IN LOVE AGAIN
Alexandra Rockford has sworn off men, her heart still broken from
the false promises of a childhood sweetheart who left her to marry an heiress.
When she stumbles into Ambrose outside of a country ball, she knows the rake is
trouble. His smile, his touch, his forbidden kiss are all too tempting but
being with him would ruin her. Determined to enjoy herself without falling in
love, Alex can’t help but let her defenses down with the too charming rake. But
when she discovers Ambrose is seducing her to win a bet, it will take
everything Ambrose has to prove to her that he is worthy to love her.
The Rakehell's Seduction is a steamy exciting read. This story deals with the men in high society that love to place outrageous wagers and the fallout from one such wager. The author does a brilliant job of showing different sides to two men who have hard core rogue belief systems. Her uncanny ability to display them with somewhat softer sides without them losing the part of their character that attracted the reader to them in the beginning of the story is handled to perfection.
Incorporated into the story is the fun interaction between Ambrose and Alexandria which I found humorous. I thought Alex was outstanding in keeping Ambrose honest with her directness and no holds barred attitude.
Secondary characters Perdita, Alexandria's best friend, and Vaughn, a now enemy who used to be one of Ambrose's best friends, have some strong presences in the book leading me to believe that they will have their own story in future books to this series.
This story teaches one that things and people are not always what they appear, that anyone can change with the right incentive and if you truly love someone you will move heaven and earth to make things right. For me it also showed that sometimes justice comes in the most unusual way.
I give this 4 STARS for how it kept me absorbed in what was going on and at the same time chuckling.
