Liviania's review of Never Romance a Rake (Neville Family Trilogy, Book 3) by Liz Carlyle
Historical romance release by Pocket Star 22 July 08
I doubt anyone who read the other entries in the Neville Family Series can resist Baron Rothwell's story. But even those unfamiliar with the other two can enjoy this novel. The plot relies on several cliches, but Liz Carlyle uses them well. This book uses the gambling set up, when the slimy Comte de Valigny offers his daughter for a wager. Kieran doesn't have much of a conscience, but he knows he's her best option between the two men at the table. Camille's willing to take any option if it means marriage and a child. Read more

Okay, so the awarding of these books is waaaay overdue. Mea Culpa, I plead too much sun. As you may remember, about a month ago we offered up 10 copies of each book in Liz Carlyle's latest trilogy: Never Lie to a Lady, Never Deceive a Duke and Never Romance a Rake. Then it somehow got lost in the shuffle. Well, I finally got my act together, so click on the cut to see who won.

Devon's review of Never Romance a Rake (Neville Family Trilogy, Book 3) by Liz Carlyle
Historical Romance released by Pocket 22 Jul 08
Liz Carlyle can always be counted upon to deliver. I haven't read all of her books, but I have read a number of them. She writes great characters and passionate, romantic stories. Her novels are meaty and often a bit dark. Carlyle deals with the darker side of nineteenth century social system-the strictures placed upon people by birth, ethnicity, classes and money. No fake rakes here. The heroes and heroines of her books have troubled pasts, and are in need of love and the redemption it provides. Never Romance a Rake looked to be another compelling read, and Sybil has raved about it. So was it "the historical of the summer?" Read more

Never Romance a Rake, the final book in Liz Carlyle's latest trilogy, was released on 22 July 2008. We know that Sybil loved it, and by clicking on that link, you can read a great excerpt as well.
Baron Rothewell lives a dark, shuttered existence by day, and a life of reckless abandon by night. Scarred by a childhood filled with torment and deprivation, Rothewell cares very little anyone or anything. His life on the edge of ruin suits him—until he meets a man who just might be his nemesis. The Comte de Valigny likes to play deeply and dangerously, but Rothewell’s recklessness is undeterred. Until one night when de Valigny wagers something just a little more valuable than gold.
Mademoiselle Marchand is a desperate woman in a strange land, and her pleading eyes seem to swallow Lord Rothewell body and soul—assuming he still has one. Now the baron must play his hand with the utmost care, for at last something meaningful is at stake . . .
In honor of (to quote Sybil) "the historical of the summer", TGTBTU presents...

This is THE book. Yes THE book. The one that I have wanted since Thanksgiving when I closed The School for Heiresses (see my review) and thought OMG I MUST have his book.

The Excerpt... just might explain why you need this book. Why you want this book. Yes this is the historical of the summer, the one you didn't even know you needed to be counting down the minutes too.
