I loved every moment of it. Ms. Beverley Oakley created an original and amazing plot. She keeps our attention through the whole book. And the characters... what can I say? Outstanding! I loved Mis Fanny and adore Lord Fenton. I enjoyed with their misunderstanding and I was delighted by their torrid and passionate meetings. And the end... made me burst out laughing. It rocks! 5 stars for her and I can hardly wait to read her new release... Ms. Beverley Oakley, I'm not above begging for more! I expect I won't have to wait too much longer for it, you are now one of my favorite writers."Just Erotic Romance ReviewsReviewer: Barbara McCormick - 5 Stars"...The characters in Rake's Honour, a Regency romance, leap off the page and into the reader's heart....Ms. Oakley brings the setting and time period to life without lengthy descriptions of society's strict rules. The sex, oh my goodness, the sex is hot and in unusual settings as Fenton and Fanny must hide what they are up to from the eyes of judgmental society.Supporting characters like Fanny's younger sister and her friend and confidante, Lord Quamby, bring added life to a lush story. The pacing is just perfect, keeping you in your chair reading right through to the end. The "mamas" are ever present, placing demands on their children to marry well for family's sake. In the end, Rake's Honour is about satisfying society's demands while still finding ways to remain true to oneself and one's heart. For these reasons, Rake's Honour earns an honored spot on my re-read stack."From the AuthorI loved William Thackeray's famous Vanity Fair anti-heroine, the feisty, ambitious Becky Sharp much more than his heroine, the passive, naïve Amelia Sedley. I therefore thought it would be fun to write a book set in the Regency period with a heroine who had all the characteristics essential for survival but which were the antithesis of the womanly virtues upheld by the era.Thus Fanny Brightwell was born.
