Wild wild rake by janna macgregor5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() This story felt like a description of Stockholm syndrome, not a loving relationship. While the couple begin the book arguing, by the end the heroine happily agrees with him. Devan is protective, but frequently tells the heroine that her feelings are wrong. After a time jump of ten years, Devan’s reputation hasn’t changed, but he is now deeply religious. At the beginning of the book, Devan is a dissolute gentleman who’s cultivated a reputation as a womanizer, and publicly loathes the heroine. I found most of the characters in Wild Wild Rake confusing, or unlikable. The amount of plot in Wild Wild Rake almost reached 1990s crazysauce level, yet it wasn’t a compelling read. ![]() This has a tantalizing premise, a vicar who’s also a rake, but reading it was a dreary slog. ![]()
