reader ☆ Union of the Rakes ´ Eva Leigh
Handsome Scottish soldier who wouldn’t know a good time if it landed in his lap But maybe a madcap escapade will loosen him upBetween carriage crashes secret barn dances robbers and an inn with only one bed their initial tension dissolves into a passion that neither expected But is there a future for an adventure loving lady and a duty bound soldier or will their differences tear them apart Thank you NetGalley for the eARC 35 stars UNION OF THE RAKES is just a super fun series Are the 80s movies references cheesy Yes Do they make the books infinitely fun Also yes I love Duncan and Beatrice and even if this was my least favorite of the trilogy I still really enjoyed their story I'm crossing my fingers we get some sort of CurtisRowe novella

Waiting for a Scot Like You Union of the Rakes #3D being alone together will surely end in disasterBeatrice the Dowager Countess of Farris is finally free of a stifling marriage and she has no plans to shackle herself to any other man Ready to live life to the fullest she’s headed to a week for a Scot MOBI #183 long bacchanal and the journey should be half the fun Except she’s confined to a carriage with a young rule abiding irritatingly Feeling restless and aimless Major Duncan McCameron agrees to do his friend a favor and escort Lady Beatrice the Dowager Countess of Farris on a journey After surviving a miserable marriage Beatrice is looking forward to freedom and house party full of debauchery She wants to be carefree not follow Duncan's silly schedules and plans When a carriage accident creates a snowball effect of misfortunes it leads to the characters reconsidering their prioritiesThis is the third book in the Union of Rakes series but can be read alone There are some mentions of the previous couples as well as details from Leigh's book Temptations of a Wallflower This story is also a wink to 80s movie culture with references to The Breakfast Club Ferris Bueller Sixteen Candles and FootlooseAge gap romances are usually my least favorite trope but I couldn't help but root for these characters Duncan is searching for connection and purpose; Beatrice is finally able to be herself and seek out new experiences The road trip goes awry and becomes a little farcical but it's fun and highly enjoyable When they come together it's sizzling hot The scenes are super steamy and their sexy bedroom banter scorches the pages 45 stars rounded to five I received an ARC and this is my honest review #WaitingforaScotLikeYou #NetGalley
