THE RAKESS by Scarlett Peckham
THE
RAKESS
Society of Sirens
On Sale: 4/28/2020
Meet
the SOCIETY OF SIRENS—three radical, libertine ladies determined to
weaponize their scandalous reputations to fight for justice and the love
they deserve…
She’s a Rakess on a quest for women’s rights…
Seraphina
Arden’s passions include equality, amorous affairs, and wild,
wine-soaked nights. To raise funds for her cause, she’s set to publish
explosive
memoirs exposing the powerful man who ruined her. Her ideals are her
purpose, her friends are her family, and her paramours are forbidden to
linger in the morning.
He’s not looking for a summer lover…
Adam
Anderson is a wholesome, handsome, widowed Scottish architect, with two
young children, a business to protect, and an aversion to scandal. He
could never, ever afford
to fall for Seraphina. But her indecent proposal—one month, no strings,
no future—proves too tempting for a man who strains to keep his
passions buried with the losses
of his past.
But one night changes everything...
What
began as a fling soon forces them to confront painful secrets—and
yearnings they thought they’d never have again. But when Seraphina
discovers
Adam’s future depends on the man she’s about to destroy, she must
decide what to protect… her desire for justice, or her heart.
Scarlett
Peckham writes steamy historical romances celebrating alpha
heroines. Her USA Today bestselling debut novel, The Duke I Tempted, was
named
a Best Romance Novel of 2018 by BookPage and the Washington Post.
Scarlett lives in Los Angeles, where she enjoys trying to think of new
ways to say “wicked", collecting vintage romance clench covers, and
dressing her cat up in bowties.
"THE
RAKESS is the kind of story that leaves you buzzing, excitedly
advertising it to your fellow romance readers at the gym/coffee
shop/bookstore. Scarlett Peckham has an elegant and lyrical writing
voice and a tremendous gift for emotional complexity, leavened by a
wonderfully sophisticated, wry sense of humor... a lush, clever, erotic,
truly adult love story, a romance between two brilliant,
scarred souls who risk everything for each other."
— Meredith Duran, USA Today Bestselling Author
“I
devoured THE RAKESS by Scarlett Peckham, with its unique role
reversals, passionate couple, and rule breaking. The strong, brooding
heroine rejects Society’s restrictions on a woman and lives life boldly
on her terms. The widowed upstanding hero fights the pull of desire in
order to protect his business and children. But love can seldom be
denied.”
— Lorraine Heath, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author
"Everything I want in a historical romance: smart, sexy and feminist."
— Maya Rodale, USA Today bestselling author on The Rakess
"The
Rakess is a triumph, delicately written and unflinching in scope. The
writing thrums with desire and conviction, and Seraphina
and Adam will leave you aching for more of Peckham's passionate,
progressive romances!"
— Sierra Simone, USA Today Bestselling Author
"A new and soon to be iconic voice in the world of historical romance, Peckham distinguishes herself as a master of her craft."
— Liz Carlyle, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author on THE RAKESS
"Passionate, powerful, and flat-out romantic as hell.”
— Eva Leigh, author of My Fake Rake on The Rakess
The Governess Game by Tessa Dare
cute story, kinda hard to get into.
The h/h are a little blah but Dare is a fun writer and her writing is funny.
Her wit kept me reading.
Three stars
