The Lure of a Rake

By: Christi Caldwell

Narrated by: Tim Campbell

A Lady Dreaming of Love

Lady Genevieve Farendale has a scandalous past. Jilted at the altar years earlier and exiled by her family, she's now returned to London to prove she can be a proper lady. Even though she's not given up on the hope of marrying for love, she's wary of trusting again. Then she meets Cedric Falcot, the Marquess of St. Albans, whose seductive ways set her heart aflutter. But with her sordid history, Genevieve knows a rake can also easily destroy her.

An Unlikely Pairing

What begins as a chance encounter between Cedric and Genevieve becomes something more. As they continue to meet, passions stir. But with Genevieve's hope for true love, she fears Cedric will be unable to give up his wayward lifestyle. After all, Cedric has spent years protecting his heart and keeping everyone out. Slowly, she chips away at all the walls he's built, but when he falters, Genevieve can't offer him redemption. Now it's up to Cedric to prove to Genevieve that the love of a man is far more powerful than the lure of a rake.

The best since For the Love of a Duke

I really liked this powerful story. The two main characters were destined to be together but it was a rough road to get to that point. This story draws you in and you don’t want it to end ( Iso wanted an epilogue).
My favorite so far has been #1 but this is an exceedingly close to it second.
Tim Campbell did a wonderful job with narration.

Love the book!

I really live Christi Caldwell’s books. What I don’t love is the narrator. I know a lot of people do, but the mispronunciations are so irritating to me that it pulls me right out of the book to the point where have to shut it off. Grrrr. Won’t stop me from getting the books though. Adore the author!

Beautiful story of loving and trusting agian
