Novella Review: To All the Rakes I've Loved Before


dear readers,

Looking for a short read that will give you a novel experience...


(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).


TO ALL THE RAKES I"VE LOVED BEFORE
(Honeycote: Book 1.5)
written by Anne Barton
genre: historical romance, novella

4 STARS


To All the Rakes I've Loved Before features Owen Sherbourne's cousin Amelia Wimple whose wealth comes from trade instead of being a peer.   Along with not fitting in, Amelia has also been jilted in favour of another woman.  Defeated she retreats to her home reading gossip rags.  Her strong-willed mother has left on a trip leaving her home alone.  All is going well until one night her ex-finace brings to her door, Lord Stephen Brookes and soon her own life is worthy of the gossip newspapers she loves to read.

I loved Barton's first novel and this novella did not disappoint.  I do wish it was longer but Barton was able to put everything in this novella that was needed to tell a story.  I liked that characters from book one make small appearances and am waiting to read book two in this fun series.

love, 
kris
