Book lord of the rakesha Lady Caroline Delamarre a virginal heiress and the daughter of an earl and Philip Montcalm a dissipated rake and the son of a marquis are not quite what they seem There is so much going on and things are not quite what you think Lord of the Rakes Though this was my first experience with a Darcie Wilde book it most definitely won t be my last From sizzling steamy romance to witty fun dialogue this book is uber enjoyable It s most definitely not your typical historical romance We meet our hero Phillip Montague and learn that he is among other things the second son and a rake in the truest of forms but that certainly doesn t mean that he is without boundaries Hiding deep secrets he makes sure to keep himself in Society s good graces while putting on the mask everyone expects him to wear After all if they are looking at his behavior than his true character they are less likely to see the real Phillip All is going well until inside a crowded ballroom he lays eyes on Our Heroine Lady Caroline Delamarre out for her first season due to her overbearing and over protective father and older brother Sheltered due to her now deceased mother s unstable mental condition Caroline longs for nothing than the freedom to experience life When Caroline learns she is an heiress she wastes no time finding a man she wants to experience life with So when she finally gets to London she seeks out none other than The Lord of the Rakes She s not looking to settle down She has no plans to marry now that she finally has her freedom She simply wants to have a good time before buying her own cottage in the country and living independently and as she chooses And who better to help her achieve that goal than Phillip But as these two spend time together they find that they might just be meant for each other Throw in a crazy ex lover a scheming potential suitor a deceitful untrusting brother and a father who is half mad and you ve got yourself one heck of a story Can Caroline and Phillip trust each other enough to share their pasts and secrets and learn to love and relinquish control to each other This book is HOT and will keep you enthralled from start to finish If you re looking for a historical romance with a twist and a bit of dominance in it the Lord of the Rakes is for you From the moment Caroline and Phillip interact they have quite the sexual chemistry and reading as their relationship shifts from sexual to emotional is rather entertaining They both state what they want from the beginning but as their feeling change each of them becomes vulnerable which makes their characters so enjoyable I loved this book and certainly will look for by Ms Wilde This book is quite unique and it stand out from the crowd Rating 4.

Rakesh meaning in english It s as if the entire plot up until 40 ish percent was added on later and then no one went back and edited Lord of the Rakes I am conflicted about this book but I ll start off by telling you everything that I felt was done right. Lord of the rakesbury Lady Caroline has grown up in the country Her father and after his death her brother never let her go to London claiming that she didn t have the constitution or moral character to handle city life Her mother you see used to be a lovely socialite but at some point she became ill and was confined to rest and given medication and she never really left the house again Her mother told Caroline many stories about London and Caroline grew up wishing to be free to escape the house and do whatever she wants. Lord of the akashic records The story opens after Caroline has received a letter that her trust fund is doing quite well The trust fund that she was not aware of Her mother had an inheritance and left it to Caroline but her father and then brother kept it a secret from her so that she wouldn t go off and do crazy things with her independence Since her choices are to either stay trapped or run away Caroline runs away to London. Lord of the rakes kindle unlimited She plans to stay in town only for a few weeks to be a bridesmaid to her friend and then to run off to France so that her brother can t force her back home or marry her off Marriage would mean the loss of her freedom so she is definitely not into that She tells her friend that since she never plans to marry she might take a lover It s not like she s overly concerned about her reputation. Ebook lord of the rakesha Philip Montcalm is a second son and is known as the Lord of the Rakes because he takes a lot of lovers As his story opens he s just been jilted and he s feeling rather dissatisfied with his lifestyle His father gives him plenty of money but the balls and the gambling are feeling a bit tedious. The rakes open book Caroline and Philip meet during one of the longest ballroom scenes I ve ever read They make eyes at each other and then Caroline sends him a note to meet her outside Once they re tucked away on a park bench they talk of seduction and they kiss and it s pretty spectacular for both of them. Book lord of the rakes pdf I really liked the premise A girl kept away from society by her ill tempered father and brother finally gets a shot at freedom Oh the fun she could have Given that she had so little society experience she d been to some country house parties and listened to gossip I was surprised at how quickly she sought out a man and then at how bluntly she stated her intentions It wasn t quite the shy blushing innuendo laden conversation that I was expecting. The day of the rake I don t read Dom sub books they re not my thing So this could just be my ignorance speaking but I was really surprised that a reasonably sheltered sexual novice would so quickly go along with that type of game Maybe I m placing too much importance on her virginity but it just seemed like such a leap. The day of the rake During their next encounter in an empty room during a musical performance Philip calls Caroline wicked and has her tell him all about her wicked thoughts while he takes her up against a wall Again I didn t think she would be so comfortable with that sort of language But maybe Philip is just that overwhelming and maybe I m just an ignorant prude I won t even bother wondering how calling sexual thoughts wicked affects the psychology of a newly sexual woman because maybe it s all just games and maybe wicked is a good thing and she certainly doesn t seem ashamed anyway. Lord of the rakese pdf My last thought on the matter is that I expected a little explanation about why Philip needed to be in control so much His lifestyle is pretty much him doing whatever he wants and aside from his father telling him to be a real man I didn t pick up any other clues Like I said this isn t my genre of books so I don t know if the Dom thing is supposed to be explained somehow related to the non sexual part of his life or if it s just a regular personality type. Book lord of the rakeshah The romance progresses backwards from sex to emotional intimacy but I found it believable The writing was beautiful and the resolution was sweet If I hadn t been so thrown off by the call me Master stuff I might have swooned If you don t mind kinky sex mixed in with your Regency novel then you should really enjoy this I m on the fence so I give it a straight B. Lord of the rakes book age rating This review was originally posted on Red Hot Books at Lord of the Rakes Just okay Nothing special Lord of the Rakes Originally Posted of the Rakes Sex Romance Madness and Morality Disclosure E Galley provided by Publisher via NetGalley. Book lord of the rakes summary Anyone who went through my school s high school English curriculum cannot help but notice a nod to LORD OF THE FLIES in this title Is there a relationship I don t think so although one could point to being the ruling class of Victorian England and their tendency to turn on each other as they do in this story being similar to the children in the earlier classic But other than that I don t see a contextual reference and it s been a few years since I was forced to read LORD OF THE FLIES in school so I can t really put a fine point on it. Lord rosebery scarborough However like another story about the Victorian period THE YELLOW WALLPAPER By Charlotte Perkins Gilman free for kindle it does deal with the position of women as almost non entities during the period and how easily one could be at the mercy of one s family father brother husband In this story Caroline s mother suffered from bouts of depression followed by periods of mania Her father decided she was mad and confined her to home although perhaps this was also a bit of revenge It s interesting and telling that the father and then her brother confine Caroline to the country and local surrounds allotting her very little freedom The reasoning was the madness would have been passed down to her NOT TO HIM Although he seems the madder of the two Also of interest is that insanity is referred to as a failing of morals and constitution. The story of the rake The story is novel complex and exciting in its plot line The catch with imprisoning a girl in the country is that when she finally gets free she s quite likely to have a little wildness stored up like giving me a box of my favorite candy when I go off my diet And with her mother and father as examples with her independence she wants no attachment to a man Pity the whole falling in love thing then We are such complicated creatures wanting one thing and finding all those pesky emotions getting in our way. Lord of the rakesk book Both main characters Phillip and Caroline are deeply and richly scribed I feel like I would know them if I came across them in contemporary society Phillip is particularly unusual in the depth of his character and his personal growth Caroline is perhaps the usual of the two even with her unconventional decisions. Lord of the realm 2 download I also enjoyed the way the living spaces were described At one point in a private home during a concert I felt I could reach out with my senses and touch the potted plants. Lord akechi jinsai The intimacy is scorching hot Caroline is descried as curvy but perhaps with those years in the country and no debut I assume she has no real issue with whether she is too curvy Phillip seems to like her body an awful lot And their physical encounters are well detailed not vulgar and feel right for the time period not that the act has changed I could have used my own Baroque fan to cool down. Lord of the rakesh quotes So newly independent and naive in the ways of love she embarks on this physical relationship with Phillip That s not a spoiler it is in the blurb He s a little into BDSM maybe BDSM lite But he wants her obedience in the bedroom and introduces it in their first encounter My feeling is that no matter how horny she was this would have turned her off. Lord of the rakesgard So at this point in the story the BDSM feels gratuitous It gets a little developed and mixed into the expectations placed on him by his father who is disabled and seems to live through him There s a lot of internal monologue the characters use to argue with themselves The issues here became somewhat muddled Even struggling for her independence maybe Caroline s years of obedience to her father and brother made her less of a rebel than the character would have liked to believe But through Phillip s growth it feels a little justified by the end. Lord of the rakes book cover Caroline comes off as less able to rail against the machine More realistic than some books perhaps wherein a heroine is really independent Caroline is still at the mercy of men all around. Lord of the realm 3 While still a steamy romance bordering on erotica the book is also a historical social commentary showing us the past and the fragility of the rights we experience today Lord of the Rakes I first received a copy of this book in the mail as a lovely surprise I had not heard of the book or the author but I ve been on a historical romance kick lately so I was willing to give it a try I got a pleasant surprise though it sat me back on my heels a few times when the story didn t act like I thought it would. Book lord of the rakes summary Normally I would move into the summary and then discuss my impressions but I m going to tackle this review a bit differently I m going to blend my summary with my impressions. Lord of the rakesji pdf Many times a book claims to be about a rake or has that in the title and it turns out that the character is not anything of the sort I think the term rake meant something of a harsher nature back in the day than it does now It s romanticized these days I think like we do with our gentleman thieves mercenary soldiers mafia dons gang leaders MC bikers etc I hear it and I picture a bad boy character the bad boy who just needs the right woman to save him I muse on this because of the direction this book took my thoughts The rake in this story Phillip Montcalm by the societal rules of the day was indeed a true rake He stopped short of seducing virgins and the very young ladies the unavailable or ravishing the unwilling but he truly went about his business with the ladies delving into sensual delights keeping stuff strictly physical He had a reputation and even a title given by society because of it Lord of the Rakes He doesn t flaunt his behavior he acts the gentleman in public and comes from a noble family so he is still received by Society s hostesses but he is watched warily by the mamas and papas of young innocent daughters He does no real worthwhile things but is fairly typical of the rich idle sons of the nobility What really floored me was that his actions were condoned and encouraged by his own father who was chair bound due to a hunting accident so lived vicariously through Phillip As Phillip s story was revealed in the book his behavior started to make sense and it made sense why he is a rake just waiting for reform He has just been pitched to the curve by a cheating lover so he is ripe for a new conquest and his eyes settle on the amber gowned beauty Lady Caroline Delamarre with the seeking eyes. Kindle lord of the rakes pdf That leads me to the other main character Lady Caroline Delamarre Caroline has grown up hidden away and repressed on her family s country estate because it is thought that she has the same unstable nature as her mother Her mother went through bouts of illness and depression so her father s methods were to keep her quietly away from others Caroline is given some freedoms in that she is allowed to form a friendship with the girl living nearby and attend parties and such hosted by the family but for the most part she is kept almost as locked away as her mother before she died After her father dies her brother continues with the father s wishes and refuses to change things Caroline desperately wants to get away She wants a normal life but her brother not only refuses to let her have a Season in London but he now brings around only his friends who all smack their lips to get a rich wife with the right bloodlines The suppression she lived under even if it was not overtly cruel felt as such to a strong feeling vibrant woman Caroline s side of the story with her family history her brother s overbearing behavior and her mother s shadowy past that brought on her being tucked away has a gothic tone to it There is a tragic feel so that when Caroline made her bid for freedom I applauded her Caroline doesn t just escape to London on the pretext of attending her friend s wedding She takes her coming of age trust money that she received through her mother and set up her own household which is not the thing for a young heiress The real shocker was that she is planning to get up an affair She is determined to seduce the notorious Lord of the Rakes Caro has no intention of getting married She will be free She has seen what marriage did for her family There was no happy loving home for any of them She acknowledges that there can be love for some like her friend Fiona and her family but she s not taking that chance on her own life She will be free and she will always be in charge Thus she will do the seducing and she will end the affair when she leaves to travel the Continent And her plans come to fruition so that it is not long before she is experiencing the sensual delights with Phillip. Lord of the rakese pdf I want to kiss you Caroline hard on your mouth and throat I want to do such things as will have you crying out in your delight and begging for And you know you will beg before I am finished with you But I cannot say any of those things I vowed that I would not take advantage of any passion we have fostered between us I would be rational I would be reasonable But seeing you here so proud and so beautifulAbruptly Phillip stood and strode across the room as if he needed to put as much distance between the two of them as possible. Lord of the realm 2 download God Caroline he cried Either send me away or bid me to come to you because I cannot stand this politisse any Caroline s heart hammered so hard she shook from the force of its beating She pictured herself sending him away She should She must She had to find her poise her control again But she could not shape those words. Lord of the rakeskin 179 Lord of the RakesThe relationship is such that both know the score going in They both have coping mechanisms which amount to the need to be in charge Phillip s past experiences leave him as a dominant in the bedroom playing sexual games I m not convinced that he is a natural at it so much as he needs it to maintain distance in his relationships Caroline batters right through his walls just as forceful as he is She plays the games with him but has no intention of letting anyone have complete charge of her Much of the story is spent in the bedroom with these too It lingers and describes so that I felt like I was there right along with these too This one should definitely be classified as like historical erotic romance because of the sensual nature of this story Caroline may be a virgin and technically an innocent when they start but her nature and maturity are such that she doesn t get shy or coy She knows what she wants and she goes for it It was much believable therefore when she and Phillip come together She starts out as a defiant need to take the town by storm and revel in her freedom but then she sees the real man behind the mask See that s the thing They both see each other rather well and like what they see but their issues make them fight it The romantic in me loved the way that what they had together changed Phillip for the better He is in the middle of an actual relationship long before he recognizes it as such His eyes are opened about the time his eyes are opened to a lot of things particularly about his family I loved that Caro actually becomes the harder sell because of her fears If there is a true villain of the story it is her dead father He has a lot to be accountable for the way he controlled his household even beyond the grave The man had me fired up even than her brother did Phillip s father affected me the same way He ruined Phillip s life until Caro saved him The other villains were small potatoes compared to these two. Lord of the rakes book cover So in the end this is a very sensual and passionate read but it is also a redemptive romance too This one has nice historical elements to it and it is definitely romantic but I would recommend it for those who don t mind the moderate heat level to their romance. Lord of the rakese pdf 5I found this book pleasantly surprising Lady Caroline Delamarre leaves the restraining walls of her country home and heads to London Thanks to a trust left from her mother Caroline has the funds to care for herself For the first time in forever she s free She s away from the overbearing eye of her brother and able to take life on how she chooses And she chooses Phillip Montcalm the Lord of the Rakes Phillip Montcalm born a second son knows his reputation with ladies and he s rather bored with it While making pleasantries at a season ball he meets eyes with the Lady Caroline and his interest in piqued He s charming smooth and suave not to mention a dominating lover From secret meetings in the garden to late night encounters they begin a quiet affair. Lord of the rakesji pdf This story takes us from sexual intimacy to emotional intimacy Caroline doesn t want any attachments and Phillip is the perfect one for this She comes from the country where her late father and brother basically held her like her mother before her captive that focus to bind one to others It s the lifeline of the heart Without it we re all adrift A few minor issues the pacing seemed off to me We spent the first half of the book describing one ball but then when Caroline s brother comes to London to collect her it s summed up in a chapter The beginning went on while the ending was abrupt Also I noticed that the author misspelled Caroline in the beginning but that s the editor s problem There are secrets lies and betrayal all told with a beautiful London backdrop Fancy parties operas ball gowns and cravats Just a pure fun steamy read I received a copy of this novel from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Rakesh meaning in english This review can also be seen here on my blog Lord of the Rakes Setting Regency EnglandSteam Factor HotLady Caroline Delamarre is suddenly a heiress and now free of her overbearing overprotective brother. Lord of the rakesgard As she now decides to savour life to the fullest she goes to London to stay with friends and there is no better way to also start her new life then in the arms of Phillip Montcalm Ahhh. Rakesh meaning in english truth be told he is a bit tired of the gameuntil he meets Caroline To Phillip she is like no other woman he has met Caroline is a delicious combination of naivete and a sensuality all wrapped up and is a woman willing and eager to play out their fantasies as master and mistress She is also a woman who equals him in creativity and fire As Caroline and Phillip begin falling in love they must find a way to escape the past or they will have no future together Okmy thoughts here on this one Straight out Not My Cuppa This isn t for the faint of heart and is for those readers who are adventurous and savour the explicit AlasI am not one of them Not just because of the content I found it without a plot of any kind and way too much angst between the couple I did finish it.
