The Rake and the Rose “ is the third installment in Eva Devon's series, and I must say, it's my favorite one so far.
The story revolves around the intriguing relationship between Rose Digby and Alexander Markby, the sixth Earl of Derby. Their history is filled with unspoken love, misunderstandings, and a generous dose of secret acts of kindness.
Alexander, a man who appears to be a reckless rake on the surface, hides a heart of gold and a deep affection for Rose. Rose, on the other hand, is unwavering in her judgment of him, stemming from past grievances. What sets this historical romance apart is Rose's unyielding character and her commitment to her causes, making her journey of personal growth all the more satisfying.
The plot unfolds smoothly, with a perfect blend of misunderstandings and surprising twists, ultimately leading Alexander and Rose to their well-deserved happily ever after. Eva Devon masterfully crafts a tale of love, forgiveness, and redemption, making "The Rake and the Rose" a must-read for fans of the genre.
