The Rake and the Rose by Eva Devon

Book Review #therakeandtherose #evadevon #netgalley #entangledpublishing

The Rake and the Rose is the third installment in Eva Devon’s Once Upon a Wallflower series and it is a wonderfully charming addition! Devon’s writing is really sweet and evocative. Through clear intensions and well developed characters, Devon’s story shines. I found this novel to be a sweet and quick read. This series embraces the feeling of a fairytale with out the magic, through class differences, through dreams, and through love. 

This novel is easily read as a stand alone, and a lovely sensual romance with a hero who would do anything for his heroine. I really enjoyed watching Rose and Alexander fall in love with each other. Their romance is one that slowly builds as they truly learn who the other is and how they treat each other. It is always lovely watching a heroine learn that the hero is not the rake she assumed he was. I really enjoyed that the hero is absolutely smitten with the heroine and that he will do anything to keep her safe.

Eva Devon is definitely a historical romance author who should be on your radar if she is not. I am also easily charmed by her stories and her romances are always full of sensuality and chemistry. 

Thank you so much to Entangled: Amara and NetGalley for an eARC, all thoughts and options are my own.
