Review on sale for The Rake's Reward
Even a rake can lose his heart…
Lady Cecily Randall was no green girl to be seduced by a handsome face. The eminently dutiful daughter of the Duke of Marlow, she’d been groomed to make a suitable match. So when the rather humorless Marquess of Edgewater proposed, she accepted. She tried not to think about love and happily-ever-after…and she certainly forced from her mind all thoughts of the handsome stranger she’d encountered on one of her forbidden solitary rides in the park. Alexander Darcy might be a viscount, but he was also a womanizing scoundrel…just the sort of man to upset the most practical of plans.
It wasn’t easy being a rake—late nights, ruinous gambling and carousing, demanding paramours. But Alexander Darcy had managed to endure. Of late, however, even those simple pleasures had begun to pall. It was far more intriguing to investigate a lady conspirator. The Home Office was convinced Lady Cecily Randall was not all she seemed, and investigating her would be the most pleasant assignment Alex ever had. For even if he believed the wide-eyed beauty was innocent, he might just have to seduce her to prove it.

This book got off to an okay start and picked up a bit for me as it went along. I found it to be a fairly robust book, solidly paced, and not too dragged out. Definitely worth the 99 cents I paid for it.
I was enjoying the book, although it is fairly predictable. However, toward the end, it just unnecessarily fell off into cliche. The heroine, Lady Cecily, knows how to shoot a pistol. It is never explained how she knows this, who taught her and where she acquired a pistol. Completely out of character and typical Regency behavior with no context provided whatsoever. She might as well have been able to fly.
**Possible spoiler alert** When the hero is in trouble, Lady Cecily takes said pistol and insists on going to help him. She evens stamps her foot to get her way. I rolled my eyes. Of course, she ends up jeopardizing the hero's safety, and that's when she realizes she loves him, but can't bring herself to use her pistol to shoot the villain. It all just became laughable at this point, and I was glad when the book was over.
