Just About a Rake is about Lady Leonora Heart and her unlikely friendship with Rake Sloane, the Earl of Dare. Their friendship turns into a scandalous affair that they must keep a secret so Leonora's virtue can remain intact. But with Leonora learning more about her parentage, complications arise that may doom the couple.

This book was such a sweet and spicy historical romance. I love how lightheartedly it tackled serious topics like being a bastard child. The slow burn of friends to lovers was so good and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the banter between Dare and Leonora. 4/5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
