Rakes in Disgrace

review 1: This is a light, fluffy historical romance, the main characters Lord Robert Montford, the second son of a Duke and Miss Frederica Bracewell a lady with some doubts about her birth, are both likeable and sweet.Robert has been banished by his imperious Father after one escapade too far, although I do feel he is a little misunderstood. He is not in favour with his peers either and leaves London in disgrace. Finding employment as an assistant gamekeeper on the estate of Frederica's Uncle, he settles down to a simple life, intrinsically an honourable man he is determined to one day pay off the debts left behind after his flight. Frederica is an accomplished artist and likes to sketch in private on her Uncles estate, albeit without his knowledge as he disapproves of this pursuit... more. She is building up a portfolio of her work so that she can escape her Uncle and his plans to marry her off to her cousin...his heir, for nefarious reasons that Frederica is unaware of. Frederica plans to travel to Italy to study her art as soon as she is able. On one of her sojourns to a special place of hers, she meets Robert and is struck by his beauty eventually she plucks up the courage to ask him to 'sit' for her. What follows is sweet and romantic but Frederica is ruined, although Robert does not realise that she is an innocent and she does not correct his assumption, they are very drawn to one another and against his rakish nature Robert finds himself starting to champion her.There is a plot although like the story it is fairly light and fluffy and quite predictable. There are quite a few characters introduced, too many really, but on the whole an enjoyable easy read. Not too taxing but sweet and romantic.
review 2: A good read, it took me a few pages to realise that it was a series book with 'more than a mistress' but the book's timing ran side by side with the other book, so what was happening to the twins brothers was at the same time in two books. I loved how the two characters found each other amid such bad circumstances, it made me smile but at the same time the intrigue gave me butterflies. It seemed to take a while but they finally got their happy ending :) less
