A Good Rake is Hard to Find by Manda Collins

We don't really know what that secret is until about halfway, but its understandable to see why she broke things off with Freddy, especially consider the time that this story takes place. She is driven and determined and is hiding a secret. Leonora is the type of heroine you instantly admire and I really loved what a role she played in the story here. Even though she is considered a 'radical' many listen to her. Nora is quite driven in her cause for women to have equal rights. Nora is a writer and writes for magazines, and is quite popular. Nora is what many would call a 'Bluestocking' heroine. Leonora Craven is a twin, and when her very opposite brother is murdered she will do anything to find out why and who really killed him. He doesn't go in half cocked, but with careful precision, and I really admire a man that thinks with his head. We see how much he changes, and I loved his fighting spirit, and how he is so delicate in handling solving the murder of his friend. We see how even after all these years, he still has a soft spot for the woman that broke his heart with no explanation. When he loves, he loves fiercely and passionately. He is loyal, protective, and committed to what he believes in. At first I was thinking he is just an average English rake but boy he isn't. Despite his roguish ways, he never strayed and could never understand why Nora broke off their engagement. Freddy has always been a bit of a wild card before he headed over to the continent. He and three other men formed a friendship and called themselves the 'Four Horsemen' and they have been tight ever since despite how different each of them is. And even though he is close to his family, he has always wanted to make his own way. Lord Frederick Isle is the youngest son of the family. But soon there is more than love at risk, their own lives are in peril if they make one mistake. What begins as a mystery turns into a passionate love affaire, one that reconnects these two who need love and a chance to begin again with each other. He has just returned and is on the hunt for the man that murdered his friend, but he will need to work with Nora and act the loving engaged couple in order to get the answers he needs. She once broke off their engagement, and broke his heart and he ended up fleeing to Europe.

Freddy is overwhelmed to be working with Nora once again. And he has been charged to find the answers, especially since the man they believe is probably responsible is his cousin. Freddy knows that one of his closest friends wouldn't be careless with his own life. On a burst of anger she bursts into his club and demands answers. She knows that it wasn't an accident and there is one man who has the answers.Frederick Isle.
