Recommended for historical romance lovers.'I'm just so excited for everyone to discover Cold-Hearted Rake, and for me to read the rest of the Ravenel series!' Sarah MacLeanĭevon Ravenel, London's most wickedly charming rake, has just inherited an earldom. But it was like I already knew they were going to be together, so I also knew a minor tiff between them would not derail their relationship. The chemistry between Devon and Kathleen could start fireworks. The starting and the middle of the book are excellent. Make no mistake, this is a splendid romance. That is why I rated this book 4 out of 5. I must admit by the last eighty pages or so, I was more excited to see Helen and Rhys than Devon and Kathleen. Along with Devon, the metamorphosis of his brother West from an irresponsible drunkard into a responsible man is admirable.Ĭold-hearted Rake also introduces us to Rhys Winterborne, a ruthless tycoon, and Helen, the gentle-mannered Ravenel sister, to whom the second book in the series is devoted to. The supporting cast is also well-developed.
The author cleverly injects humor to lessen the tension between the main characters. Similarly, Kathleen goes toe to toe with Devon in almost all the matters which shakes him off his stupor of irresponsibility and decadence. I loved the way Devon crumbles Kathleen’s sense of propriety through his skillful seduction and ton of love.
Both are strong-headed characters, yet they fit together perfectly. Right from the start, it was a battle of wills between Devon and Kathleen. I loved the Cold-hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas.
