I have to admit there is something so appealing about a hero who has some form of physical imperfection: a jagged scar, a pronounced limp, blindness. Something that changes his world so completely that he can no longer function in it the way he used to. Perhaps that is why I love beauty and the beast themes so much. While not exactly a beast, Waterloo-survivor, Dominic Ransleigh, does walk away from the battlefield minus an arm, an eye patch in place, and his confidence as a future horse trainer severely shaken. How could I resist him?
Yet, surprisingly, Dominic wasn't bitter or self-pitying. His main challenge, however, was in accepting that he wasn't able to continue the work that he loved. Another surprise was the independent and driven Theodora. Disillusioned by love and content with her single state, Theo diligently pursued her goal to open a school for military orphans. She had substance, lots of pluck, a happy attitude, and was more intriguing than other spirited regency heroines who think slipping out at night disguised as a boy as the ultimate in independent living.
I really enjoyed that, despite not wanting to get emotionally involved, Theo and Dominic didn't fight their attraction so hard or too long. These two liked each other, and their romance felt natural. Attraction quickly led to a lusty relationship, filled with passionate and graphic love scenes. Yep, lots of swoony reading, there.
Revealing spoilers is not my thing, but unpredictable and interrelated elements make it challenging to divulge a little without giving away a lot. Therefore, you simply must read it to learn its secrets and enjoy the ride fully. My only beef is with the title. I mean, who comes up with vague titles that don't make sense, anyway? Still, The Rake to Reveal Her is the excitingly ending to the Ransleigh Rogues quartet. A thoroughly enjoyable and recommended read at 4 stars. Just dont dwell too hard on the title.
