About this listen

‘Charming, witty, and thoroughly adorable! You’ll fall in love with Grace and Sebastian…[Eva Leigh is] One of my favorite authors. Her books are pure romantic delight’. – Tessa Dare on My Fake Rake

‘a jolt of electricity, a blast of fresh air — everything delightful and exciting you could want it to be.’ New York Times Book Review on My Fake Rake

Lady Grace Wyatt is content as a wallflower, focusing on scientific pursuits rather than the complications of society matches. But when a handsome, celebrated naturalist returns from abroad, Grace wishes, for once, to be noticed. Her solution: to create the perfect man, to act as her suitor, and help her catch his eye. Grace’s colleague, anthropologist Sebastian Holloway, is just the blank slate she requires.

To further his own research on English society, Sebastian agrees to let Grace transform him from a bespectacled, bookish academic into a dashing—albeit fake—rake. Between secret lessons on how to be a rogue and exaggerated public flirtations, Grace’s feelings for Sebastian grow from friendship into undeniable, inconvenient, real attraction. If only she hadn’t asked him to help her marry someone else…

Sebastian is in love with brilliant, beautiful Grace, but their bargain is complete, and she desires another. Yet when he’s faced with losing her forever, Sebastian will do whatever it takes to tell her the truth, even if it means risking his own future—and his heart.

What a delight

I cannot recommend this audio book highly enough. Such a delightful story with enough romance and sex to be perfect. The narrator was excellent .

Extreme masculinity in a faux historical setting

The set up was rather cute. Basically a he needed swapped make over of the nerdy girl trope oh so common in high school movies. Half way through the book I would have given it a much high rating but the overly long a graphic and un-needed sex scene paired with a conclusion that went on for too long dropped my rating significantly.
If you are someone who likes aggressive male sexuality then perhaps you would enjoy this book more.

Liked the story, but too many loose ends

I felt that the end was a little rushed. Too many unanswered questions for me.

As repetetive as anachronistic

The clearly american author sadly has very little idea about the period she has set the novel in, the romance parts are ok the rest is not. It also needed a more confident editor as the charactres repeat their exact same thoughts every 30 seconds.The performance is the best part of it.
