Date with a Regency Rake

Another, another, another book! Published by good old Mills & Boon - A copy of 'Date with a Regency Rake' which is actually a collection of two novels, one by Maguerite Kaye ('The Wicked Lord Rasenby') and one by Anne Herries ('The Rake's Rebellious Lady'). It wasn't mentioned when I entered the competion, but the book has been signed up one of the authors - Maguerite Kaye - which is a nice little extra!

Value: £7.99
2013 Total: £265.22

Update: Finished this one quite quickly. Like I said, it's published by Mills & Boon so what you expect is pretty much what you get! Both books were enjoyable, although I did prefer the first one (Wicked Lord). Apart from the usual cheesy cliches that these books are rife with, I thought it was very good and I enjoyed the relationship between the two characters. I don't want to sound like I'm only in it for the, ahem, naughty stuff, but the second book (Rebellious Lady) was very, very tame. Like Mills & Boon for prudes or something. They basically talked a lot (mainly about horses - yawn), fell in love, and had a couple of kisses in the last chapter. It wasn't much of a thrilling romance at all, which is kind of the whole point of these books. Overall I would recommend the collection, but if you found it was cheaper just to buy the one separately, I would do that - the second book just isn't worth it.
