and give love a second chance.
HOW TO RESCUE A RAKE is a part of the Book Club Belles
Society series by Jayne Fresina. Romantic, fun, and witty,
readers will enjoy the story from chapter one. Fresina's
story follows Jane Austen's PERSUASION, and this helps
tell Diana's love story. Diana is a wonderfully amusing
heroine who grows into her own person throughout the story.
Her history with the hero brings tension to the romance and
secrets to the plot. Nathaniel is charming and his
banter is humorous and lighthearted.
The country setting of HOW TO RESCUE A RAKE is lovely and
different from other Regency novels. The secondary
characters add extra personalities to the story, and help
bring Diana and Nathaniel's love story to life. HOW TO
RESCUE A RAKE is a fun country romance with an entertaining
hero and heroine.
Reject his marriage proposal Nathaniel
Sherringham has returned to Hawcombe Prior a changed man.
Gone is the reckless rake who went out on a limb to propose
to Diana Makepiece three years ago. Now Nate's mysterious
new wealth has the town's rumor mill spinning. To stir
things up (and get Diana's attention), Nate boldly announces
his plans to marry "any suitable girl" under the age of 25.
Run away Diana, now 27 and still
single, is acutely aware of Nate's return. When her mother
suggests a trip to visit a cousin in Bath, Diana leaps at
the chance to escape the heartbreak and regret she can't
help but feel in Nate's presence...and avoid his irritating
charade to find a bride.
But for Nate, Diana has
always been the one. He might just have to follow her to
Bath and once again lay his heart on the line to win her
attention-and her heart.
