A Rake's Guide to Seduction

A Rake's Guide to Seduction (Zebra Historical Romance) - Caroline Linden 4.5 stars. An excellent character-driven Regency romance, slightly marred by an improbable villainous plot stuck on at the end. Anthony, though no real fault of his own, has a terrible reputation amongst society; Celia married for what she thought was love and discovered she and her husband actually had nothing in common. When Celia is widowed, the two old acquaintances have a second chance to find happiness. The characters are both sympathetic and interesting and I would have been happy to read about the progress of their relationship without any additional plot elements.
