Romance Historical
No Good Rake Goes Unpunished When George Drexel used his vast experience with women to
write and publish The Rake's Handbook: Including Field
Guide, little did he realize the havoc it would cause. Now
years later, the rumor of a second edition has London's
naughtiest widows pounding on his door, begging to be
included. But George has given up his roguish ways and wants
nothing more than to be left alone with his architectural
pursuits...until beautiful Meta Russell tempts him from his
work and leaves him contemplating an altogether different
sort of plan. The handbook may be years out of print, but it still has the
power to ruin lives. Desperate to save her sister-whose
inclusion has left her jilted-Meta tracks down the rake
responsible, only to find a man who steals her breath and
leaves her reeling. Banding together to put things to
rights, George and Meta find themselves drawn inexorably
together...but can Meta truly trust her heart to a man who
wrote the book on being a rake?

Re: To Catch a Rake
To sum up Ms. Orr's post, Rakes have to have that "Bad Boy,
Good Man" thing going for them. If they're solely bad,
uncaring, unfeeling, cads, bounders of the first water, then
they are unlikable. Rakes need to have redeeming qualities to
make them good heroes.

I've always liked a bad boy, they're just more fun, as well as much more interesting.
(Barbara Elness 11:17pm February 16, 2016)
Rakes are good looking, arrogant bad boys. Much deep down,
they have a good heart, only revealed by a good woman.
(Patricia Pinkston 10:33am February 17, 2016)
Rakes have a sense of humor and are fascinating.
(Sharon Berger 11:37am February 17, 2016)
They should be a bit of a bad boy but with a soft heart. I also enjoy when they have a sense of humor mixed with a little sarcastic tone
(Julie Parrish 5:55pm February 17, 2016)

Favorite characteristics of a rake: charming, handsome, sexually talented at giving a woman pleasure, dedicated to their pursuit of pleasure
They can never resist a challenge. Love it when they are forced to change in order to gain the woman they've fallen in love with. They make the best husbands

He's a bad boy until he discovers the woman of his dreams then he does whatever it takes to get her.
(Joan Thrasher 12:26pm February 19, 2016)
I'm always into the rakes. But like others have mentioned, they have to
have a good heart and genuinely be a good person that made bad choices
in their past. Not just someone that is rude and uncaring, selfish or plain
terrible.
(Lily Shah 12:31pm February 19, 2016)
I freaking love your characters!!!!
(Candy Voisine 2:51pm February 20, 2016)
Oh!!! And rakes are my absolute favorite! If it was the 1800's
I swear I would purposely get caught alone with a rake!!
(Candy Voisine 2:53pm February 20, 2016)
A rake is a handsome man that can get into trouble but not in a serious way. They can be a bit spoiled but lovable! LOVE your books!!!!
