SCANDALOUS DESIRES . . .
Amy Hardwick has one last Season to shake off her wallflower image and make a love match. If she can’t, she’ll set aside her dreams of romance and return home to a suitor who can provide security—if little else. What she doesn’t count on is the inappropriate—and irresistible—attention lavished on her in a darkened library by rake extraordinaire Will “The Devil” Darcett . . .
DEVILISH DELIGHT
When Will is caught in a tryst with the ton’s shyest miss, he knows he must offer for her hand. Yet Amy is not the shrinking violet she seems to be. Passion lies beneath her prim exterior and Will is eager to release it. But winning Amy isn’t simply a matter of seduction; first, Will must convince her that he’s mended his wicked ways . . .

My Thoughts:
This was a great book. I loved that Amy got her own book. In the past two books Amy was the wallflower of the group. But in How to Ravish a Rake Amy knows that this may be her last season, so she tries to transform herself. Amy learns so much about herself in this book. It was great fun to watch her grow.
Will is the bad boy of the ton. The one all the women swoon over. But when Will finds himself trapped with the beautiful red head he loves to tease, he doesn’t know the full extent of the consequent of his actions.
I really enjoyed How to Ravish a Rake. Amy & Will are a great, fun, feisty couple to read about. While their wedding may not have come from love, they learn how to make the best of their situation.
If you have enjoyed Vicky’s first two books you will love book 3 How to Ravish a Rake.

I *just* finished "The Redemption of Lord Rawling" by Rachel Van Dyken. I love that series, and her writing is great. I have also read all of Julia Quinn's books. I'm just now coming to like the historical romance genre. I'm usually a paranormal type of girl.
