The Chivalrous Rake

Jack Hamilton is in a foul mood. He has broken his collarbone, making it impossible for him to participate during hunting season and visitors do not help his mood any. A dear old friend of Jack's family has arrived for an unexpected stay at his home. Dr. Edward Bramley and his daughter Cressida have come to stay for an undetermined amount of time. Jack and Cressida get off to a rocky start. Their tempers seem to flare whenever they are around each other. Jack thinks there is a mystery behind Edward and Cressida's arrival (which there is) and Cressida is determined to keep her secrets. Their constant bickering continues but a secret attraction is growing as well. When Cressida's secrets are revealed, will Jack be willing and able to protect the woman who has snuck into his heart? In The Chivalrous Rake, Jack and Cressida are very strong and emotional characters. They constantly go back and forth regarding their feelings for each other, which at first is an accurate depiction of their personalities but eventually it just feels frustrating. The Chivalrous Rake has an interesting storyline and many endearing characters, especially Cressida's father Edward. If not for the constant angst Jack and Cressida go through, I would consider The Chivalrous Rake to be a very good story. Nannette Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
