Which one will capture her heart?

RITA Award–winning author Elizabeth Boyle offers up another magical story filled with sensuality, passion, and wit. A sexy page turner, And the Miss Ran Away with the Rake is a lively and clever romance that you won’t want to put down.

A fun romp not to be missed

I loved this book. It was sweet and funny. The characters are lovable. It has the sweetest dog. I’m a sucker for animals and kids and at least one ornery elderly person. The only thing missing in this book was kids. But, no matter. Throw all those things together, give me story and a laugh and I’m you’re fan! It was also narrated by Susan Duerden who is always great. I don’t remember any bad words. 2 or 3 sex scenes after the couple was in love and tastefully done. (For those who like to know before picking a book.) No cliffhanger. The book prior to this was one was great but this is easily read as a stand alone.

I'm hooked on this author!

I love Elizabeth Boyle's writing style. She sees the humor in life and relationships and makes me laugh while wondering what will happen next! Her books are good reads!

Love Battles Family Feuds

Lovely true-love story with good rhythm throughout most of book. Towards the latter third it got a bit slow (or I should say it felt like prolonging the "lie" could've resolved itself faster); but it only lasted maybe 2 chapters & truly made sense by the final chapter & epilogue.

Both hero & Heroine were smart, loving, & desirous to build a life with someone. It warmed my heart so much more than my typical enjoyment of angsty emotionally crippled hero's needing to be brought to scratch. And it made their sex scenes more like loving connections with each other than passionate urges full of doubt or seductions with little decision. This couple connected mentally, emotionally, socially, physically, & maritally at the end.

Very well done to both the author and the SUPERB narrator actress who was also a real pro!

Great fun

Enjoying this series, comical, and witty with a bit of romance. Narrator brings the story to life.

what a yarn

we've heard this tale before...see Shop around the corner, You've got mail, add a little Hatfield's vs McCoy's then place it in regency times and you've got the premise. The difference is the writing, character development and the romance brought seamlessly to the fore. The narration is spot on.
