Unlike many women in that time, Mary traveled with her husband while he was with Wellington’s army. Four men in her husband’s regiment were killed when their tent was struck by lightning. Lady Mornington aka Mary Gregg has a terrible fear of thunderstorms and rightly so. By no means is The Notorious Rake a perfect book but it managed to entertain me despite a few complaints I had which you’ll read later. It is one of the best romances I’ve read this year. This book was written back in 1992 but the story, the writing and the characters gripped me and engaged me until the last page was turned. The Notorious Rake was very good and it had been sitting in my TBR pile for years.ĭo you enjoy themes where the hero is the pursuer? Or where you have opposites attracted to each other? How about a story that starts off as a light romance then becomes a much more serious story about a wounded soul who has lost his way? Or a story about two people wearing masks in public and true love allowing each to take a glimpse behind that mask? I know it is horrible of me to rave about this book when it is OOP but this book is good. Well, my fellow romance readers, you made the right call on this one. Balogh #98 despite the fact that the book is sadly out of print and will cost you at least $20 to obtain a copy online. A community of romance readers ranked this particular title by Ms. The Notorious Rake by Mary Balogh (1992) attracted my attention when it was listed in the Top 100 Romances at All About Romance for 2007.
