The Art of Taming a Rake by Nicole Jordan
Pub. Date - January 26, 2016
4 stars



I was really excited to read this one and was not disappointed at all.  Two years prior, Venetia was forced into exile after publicly stilling her drunken, philandering fiancĂ©.  She returns to London when news of her younger season's attachment to the disreputable Earl of Traherne.  She decides to catch him at his exploits at a gaming club but instead becomes embroiled in his life as someone tries to assassinate him.  It starts slow and the heroine is a bit grating at first... but as the two are forced into a marriage of convenience the sparks begin to fly and both are forced to learn to trust one another.  Venetia is feisty and courageous while Quinn is genuinely charming and overall a pretty great guy.  I liked the side suspense as they try to figure out who is trying to kill Quinn and I think it added a level of danger to the story. I really ended up liking these characters and found the whole book entirely enjoyable.  I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
