Until the Rake Surrenders by Darcy Burke is a historical romance with great bones. This is the fifth book in the series called Rogue Rules. In short the premise of the book is that rogues are not husband material, do not trust them or believe them ever. The story includes two people who are not likely to get married, but who are put into a position that might force the issue.
Evan Price is a dashing rogue. He is irrepressible and determined to find his way forward. At a party he was showing off the tricks he could and his foot got caught in the stirrups of his horse and he was dragged unconscious before the horse was stopped. Lady Minerva Halifax witnessed the accident and ran out to help him. She ended up taking control of the situation and got Evan all set up in the nearest manor while she took care of him. It helped him heal, but helped her avoid some of the rogues at the house party.
Lady Minerva Halifas’ mother was disgusted with her daughter. She was determined that Min would marry an appropriately titled person, no matter his temperament or behaviors. She even – well you will need to read that on your own.
Evan is not titled and therefore below Min’s class, but loved Min. Min didn’t care about titles like her mother and wanted Evan. So conflicts occur and are stirred up by busybodies and Min’s mother. Until the Rake Surrenders by Darcy Burke is a good read.
