Resumen del Editor

When Rebecca Russell’s brother marries, she finally has the opportunity she has been dreaming of: to leave the seclusion of her reclusive grandfather’s home and enter into society. But when her inexperience has her making blunders and courting embarrassment, help comes from an unexpected source: the brooding, irritable brother of her chaperone.

Valentine Donovan is a rake, mountains of gaming debt and all. With his only hope for financial relief tied up in the Admiralty Court, he must temporarily rely on his father’s charity—and all the strings attached to it. His father demands Valentine show evidence that he is changing his ways, so when the engaging but naïve young woman living with his sister presents a plan, he can’t refuse the opportunity to fulfill some of his father’s requirements, albeit reluctantly.

But Valentine is unprepared for Rebecca’s guileless optimism and how impossible he finds it to say no to her increasingly onerous requests—requests that put both their hearts and reputations in danger. A Confirmed Rake is the second in Martha Keyes's The Donovans regency-set romance series. Each book can be treated as a standalone.

Cute story

I have really been enjoying this series. Fun, clean rom-coms that had me laughing several times. My only complaint is the narrator they chose for Valentine. He’s a fantastic narrator In general, I just find it distracting when the reader sounds much older than the characters are supposed to be. The main characters are early 20’s, but I believe Rupert Degas is in his 50’s. So I can’t help but picture a 50 year old getting involved with a 20 year old. 🤷‍♀️

Great book to listen to!

I chose this rating because it was such an enjoyable read. The reader did a great job. I’ve read several books by Martha Keyes, and she never disappoints.

One of My Favorites!

I loved every aspect of this performance. At first I didn’t like the voice of Rebecca’s character but it wasn’t long until I realized it was perfect for her! Valentine’s voice was exactly right for his character. I would enjoy listening to the narrators in more novels.
The story was sweet and fun. I’ve read it a few times and listened to it several times. It is a great mood booster!

Loved this!

I really enjoyed this one!! Great characters, engaging and interesting story, and near perfect narration. I thought this would be a 5 star read, but the last 15% (the ending) was a little anticlimactic.
