3 1/2 stars. This is a rather nice regency romance from the Love Inspired Historical stable. The hero Vaughn Everard is a charming, rather rakish poet with a tendency to the wild side and a history of duelling. Imogene is the daughter of the last Marquis of Widmore. The death of her brother when she was young brought her to a deeper spiritual understanding of God's place in her life.

“Where was he?”
Lady Imogene Devary is puzzled by the stranger who has appeared at their door the past 3 days wanting to speak with her father. Even more curious is her father’s point blank refusal to see the man. As her father won’t talk about it, Imogene figures the best way to find out is to meet the man herself & find out from him what it is he wants. Here at the Mayweathers’ ball, is a chance for her to find out.

Disclaimers: I received a temporary electronic copy of this novel from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion. Thanks for letting me review this novel.
My Overall Thoughts/Impressions: I will be honest. I really didn't expect to like this one all that much. I thought it would be cute but forgettable. I was dead wrong.
This book was hilariously funny and brilliantly written. I found myself laughing hysterically the entire time I read this novel....more

Really 4.5 stars.
I really enjoyed these characters. Vaughn and Imogene were amazing: she's independent and you know it from the 1st chapter, he's 'been around' and never thought his life would amount to much and they both are in serious need of TLC:)
I LOVE Imogene's character! She knows what she wants, and works the ropes to get it xD She's also not afraid to stand her ground when the time arises. Her only outstanding fault is her blind faith in people's goodness. She's a great match to Vaughn,...more

I ended up liking this one more than I thought I would. I didn’t really like Vaughn that much in the first two books, but he grew on my in this one. I also liked Imogene, she was good for him. I liked that she didn’t back down and she also didn’t get all flustered with his flirting. She could hold her own. I thought they had good chemistry together and worked well together.
As for the mystery, I have mixed feelings about it. It’s kind of been an ongoing story from the first book and we finally g...more

I'm not going to rate this book because I don't think that it would be fair of me. I picked up The Rake's Redemption without realizing that it was a Christian romance. Unfortunately, those are not my favorite genre. This was a find book, but it isn't from a genre that I like, so it just was't my cup of tea.
But, I will say that the characters are solid, the writing is well done, and the plot was lovely. So, if you do like Christian romances, this is totally for you.
Thanks to Netgalley for a copy!

I really, really wanted to like this book. I received it as part of the First Reads program, and was excited about reading what would be my first Harlequin historical, as well as my first Love Inspired. While I'm not usually one for Christian novels, the plot seemed fun and I love a good historical. Weirdly enough, it wasn't the heroine's awkward inner reflections on her religion that bugged me the most, it was the extremely creepy vibe that I got off of the hero. I think he was supposed to be a...more

I won this in a First Reads Giveaway.
Regina Scott continues to impress me. Her characters are solid and each one is in need of TLC. Her writing is excellent and enjoyable to read. I couldn't tell I was reading a "Christian romance" and didn't really realize it was marketed as such until I came here to write a quick review. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves regency. :)

This is the second book in The Everard Legacy that I have read. The first was a bit unrealistic but this one was great. Vaughn is a lovable guy and Imogene is hard not to respect. The book is short, sweet, and I will definitely read the next.

Excellent! A very excellent read! The book was well written and the characters were wonderful! Vaughn was such a complex character being both a poet and an infamous duelist. He lured you in with his senstivity and poetry but could also be your knight in shining armor and protector with his dueling skills! The mystery of Imogene's father also added an element that kept the pages turning! This book is fabulous!

Maybe even more. I have read lots of these "love inspired" novels, and this was among the best.

Regina Scott started writing novels in the third grade. Thankfully for literature as we know it, she didn't actually sell her first novel until she had learned a bit more about writing such as vocabulary, sentence structure, and plot. After numerous short stories and articles in magazines and trade journals, she got serious about her novel writing. The Unflappable Miss Fairchild was her first nove...more
