Review: Lord Rakehell – Virginia Henly

Some men thrive on scandal.

Lord James Hamilton, heir to the Duke of Abercorn and newly appointed attendant to the young Prince of Wales, is in no rush to find a wife and take on a more responsible life. A lover of all things pleasurable, James has earned his reputation as a rakehell of London. But when a feisty beauty piques his interest, James finds himself obsessed with learning more about her, and even contemplates making her his own.

Lady Anne Curzon-Howe has long been besotted with her dear friends’ handsome elder brother, James—ever since the moment he compared her to a wild Irish rose. While Anne has many suitors, the elusive James is the only man who draws her fancy. But Lord Hamilton’s rakish ways are notorious for a reason, and convincing him to love only her will be an incredible—albeit rewarding—challenge….

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Lord James and Lady Anne, at first seem to have one sided relationship. Anne is in love with james and he for the first part of the book didn’t even know she existed. That changed pretty quickly when, Anne became the prince of wales, new wifes lady and waiting. Anne and James start spending more time together.

Their relationship, is quite interesting they both speak out adventure,and do not spend to society strict standards.

The story was welll written, the characters were very interesting. I did not want to put the book down, while reading Lord Rakehell.

I loved how Virgina Henley used real people and real advents. Just on a faster time line. After reading Lord Rakehell, I became even more interested in the people and events that happened in that time period.
