Synopsis: An earl is forced to
play matchmaker for the daughters of a rake in a smart and witty new
Regency romance from the national bestselling author of The Scoundrel’s Daughter.
Recently
returned to England, Leo, the new Earl of Salcott, discovers he's been
thrust into the role of guardian to an heiress, the daughter of a
notorious rake. Even worse, his wealthy ward has brought her
half-sister, the beautiful but penniless Isobel, with her. Leo must
introduce Clarissa to London society and find her a suitable husband,
but her illegitimate half sister, Izzy, is quite another matter. Her
lowly birth makes her quite unacceptable in aristocratic circles. However,
the girls are determined to enter society together. They’re devoted to
each other and despite the risk of scandal and ruin if Izzy’s parentage
is discovered, they refuse to be separated. Much to Leo’s frustration,
nothing he says or does will convince them otherwise. To further
complicate matters, sparks fly every time Leo and Izzy interact.
Called away for a quick visit to his country estate, Leo instructs the young ladies to stay quietly at home and consider their position. But when he returns, he's infuriated to discover that Clarissa and Izzy have launched themselves into society—and with tremendous success! There's no going back. Now Leo must enter society himself, protect Clarissa from fortune hunters, and try not to be driven mad by the sharp-witted, rebellious Izzy, and the rich, unworthy men drawn to her beauty.

My Thoughts: I love historical romance. It's so fun. There is nothing like that banter and watching two people fall in love.
The premise for The Rake's Daughter is what sold me in the beginning. I just loved the sound of it, the idea of it. I had a lot of fun with this novel. Izzy and Leo got on each other's nerves a lot, which was very enjoyable. I also really enjoyed how Izzy gave it right back to Leo in some situations.
I enjoyed the romance. It wasn't crazy or excessive, but it was nice. I do wish Leo would have figured his stuff out sooner.
I definitely want to read more in this series. I had a lot of fun with it.
