Worst revenge affair ever!

Eight years ago, the heroine and hero were head over heels in love when the h jilted the hero for an older Duke shocking all society and emotionally damaging the hero. He turned to war and women to deaden the pain, and is now a "rake". Yeah. Sure.

He sees the now widowed heroine with her son. She's left the Duke's estate and is a shut-down pale imitation of her former self. She tries to apologize and explained what happened, and he tells her she can make it by being his mistress. She takes him up on it much to his surprise and the revenge portion of the story is pretty much over. She did have a good reason for martyring marrying the Duke which the H slowly buys into. They start up their affair and that's pretty much all she wrote for the poor hero.

She basically has PTSD, but is eager to open up sexually as she really loved him all those years ago and may still deep down. The Duke was a bad Duke and not only wouldn't let her read, paint or garden, but threatened to beat her son if she showed him affection. So basically she stood in a corner or in the garden staring into space for about eight years.

The evil Duke's evil son rears his head with all kinds of threats that are sadly resolved much to realistically for me. Yes, the hero hires another rogue to do some dirty work, but other than a few glares from a Mrs. Danvers's type housekeeper and the new Duke calling the h a bitch it's all a little bland. No kidnapping attempts, no duels other than a fist fight. Ah well, can't have everything.

Better than average writing and mostly historically accurate. It would make a nice respite from uber angst and TSTL characters.

The Rake to Rescue Her Ransleigh Rogues Julia Justiss 9780373298242 Books Reviews

To begin with, THE RAKE TO RESCUE HER is one of the most gorgeously written books I have ever read!

Diana broke Alastair’s hearts years ago when she left him to marry money and a title. He never got over it, he never forgave her, but when they accidentally meet again, Diana is a widow. Alastair seems to want to establish a renewed civil relationship, but Diana responds rather coolly. Alastair offers her to become his mistress, and he is nonplussed when she agrees. Eventually Alastair thinks it might be possible to rebuild the love they once had, but something is troubling Diana, and slowly he begins to understand the trials she experienced during the time they were apart.

THE RAKE TO RESCUE HER is sublimely written, the prose is historically flawless, and the dialogues are exquisite. The era is meticulously researched yet the author never hinders the flow of the story with unnecessary details everything is simply perfect. It’s also a very emotional and touching story as the characters get to know each other again. Diana and Alastair are fascinating characters, very complex, and their story is captivating.

Julia Justiss was a new author to me, and I loved THE RAKE TO RESCUE HER so much, her next book will not come soon enough; a truly exceptional book!
I enjoyed reading it!
There aren't many Harlequin HR authors that I actively seek out, but if I had to list my favorites they would be Carla Kelly (well, of course!), Sophia James and possibly Julia Justiss. I've read several older Justiss books that I enjoyed. This one's OK but not a top-of-her-game book for me.

8 years ago Diana and Alastair were engaged and very much in love. She threw him over to marry an older, powerful duke, w/o giving Alastair any explanation. Now the duke is dead and Diana and Alastair accidentally meet up again in Bath.

She tries to explain the dire circumstances that led to her betrayal but he's having none of it. Then she wants to know how she can make it up to him and he replies how about being my mistress until I grow tired of you. What a charmer! Oh, but the poor man's feelings were hurt 8 years ago so he has the perfect right to be a jackass.

I have to admit that the relationship and Alastair himself greatly improve as the book progresses and he becomes her Knight in Shining Armor to defend her and her son from the evil stepson, now the present duke. And poor Diana's years-long physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her husband and her struggles to overcome the emotional issues resulting from that abuse are handled well by Justiss.

Still, first appearances count for something and I wasn't all that impressed with Alastair at the beginning. And the other problem I had with the book was that it was slow moving and repetitive. Justiss has done better and will again, I'm sure.
