Rescued by the Rakish Lord
A man of such dubious reputation…
that he was called Devil Blackbourne!
When Lord Deveril Blackbourne meets Selina Wynter, he is intrigued. For she has all the accomplishments of a lady, but the fiery temper and spirit of a tavern maid! Then she is abducted by a dastardly suitor, and Deveril—for all his roguish reputation— can’t stand idly by…
Lord Deveril is Selina’s least likely rescuer, but when they’re stranded together in a snowstorm and her reputation is at risk, he surprises her with a gallant proposal! Deveril’s no honourable suitor, yet his actions say otherwise…
Just who is the real Devil Blackbourne? Selina’s determined to find out!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid romance read
Rescued by the Rakish Lord follows Selina, a strong-willed young woman who finds herself unexpectedly thrown together with the mysterious and charming Deveril. As danger, secrets, and growing attraction pull them closer, both are forced to confront their pasts and decide whether they’re willing to risk their hearts. It’s a romantic and emotional Regency story filled with tension, chemistry, and plenty of heartfelt moments.
Rescued by the Rakish Lord was a really enjoyable read and one of those books that’s easy to get lost in for a few hours.
I really liked the chemistry between Selina and Deveril. Their relationship felt natural and wasn’t rushed, which made the romance more satisfying. Selina was easy to root for because she’s sensible and strong without feeling overly perfect, and Deveril had just enough charm and emotional baggage to make him interesting instead of frustrating.
The story kept me engaged the whole way through, although the middle section slowed down a bit at times and I found myself wanting a little more tension near the end. A couple of the side characters could’ve been fleshed out more too.
That said, it was still a warm, entertaining historical romance with characters I genuinely cared about. Definitely worth reading if you like emotional romances with a protective hero and a heroine who can hold her own.
