review 1: A rather emotional read. Though I think that Twice a Wastrel would have been a more accurate title, in favor of spiking interest to read however Twice a Rake works. Aurora is a girl who while down to earth does seem to have her head in the clouds most of the time; though with her lack of interesting suitors and having a Aunt who not only dislikes and is quick to point out your faults, well who can blame her for day dreaming. Though while the ton may forgive her for being a little absent minded they surly will never forgive her if they read her journal where she keeps record of all her fantasy's and opinions about those on the ton. Enter Baron Quinton, Quin or Niles if you please, who not only finds him self in need of a wife but also happens to come across Aurora's journal... more. Problem solved, for Quin at least. Unfortunately Quin is less of a rake and more of a wastrel than anything, and everything might have gone well if only he had stayed off the Brandy! Instead Quin ends up waltzing and kissing Aurora's reputation away in the middle of a ball. Que a hasty proposal, a quicker wedding, and lets not forget a little blackmail in the case that the bride gets cold feet and decides to steal a horse and ride off in her wedding dress! And those are most of the funny parts, what follows is a rather emotional journey in which Quin and Aurora struggle to make the best of there marriage or rather just learn how to be married. With secrets and emotional baggage to work through on both parts they get off to a less than stellar start. But when someone publishes a story from Aurora's journal, Quin will have to own up to his faults and open up to his wife before he ends up turning into what he fears most.*Honestly it was a good read but rather emotional. Kleenex box may be required.
review 2: This book was spectacularly bad. It was a grind to get through, and I could never work up the energy to care much. One example: the heroine says "Oh dear good Lord." Not "oh dear ", not "oh Lord ", not even "dear Lord". She says this clunker of a phrase several times a chapter, chapter after chapter. For. The. Whole. Book. By the end, I was pretty sure I needed to go to confession about my feelings regarding that particular phrase. less
