A Bargain with the Rake

Necessary Arrangements, Book 3

By: Sadie Bosque

Narrated by: Sienna Frances, Timothy Campbell

A duchess determined to love...

Evie Montgomery, the Duchess of Somerset, has promised her grandfather she will marry for love, and she is determined to keep said promise. Only the man she loves is the most notorious rake in the country, and he hasn't spared her a glance in the seven years since she's known him. Winning his hand in marriage isn't hard, winning his heart, however, is another matter entirely.

The rake she cannot forget...

The last thing Gabriel, the Viscount St. Clare, wants in this life is marriage. However, when Evie appears on his doorstep, she proposes a bargain that he can't refuse. Marrying the duchess to gain her fortune is tempting, but not as tempting as the duchess herself.

When the past comes a knocking, they realize that to keep love in their lives, they have to give up much more than either of them has bargained for.

I really enjoyed this one

I've read books 1-4 of this series, and this is my favorite of the series so far. The chemistry between the two main characters was the best of the four books I've read. It was witty and funny and I very much enjoyed this book.

Worth the Wait

Excellent read. Riveting story. Full closure on the circle. Now onto the next. Narration superb.

Very enjoyable

Very fun story and characters. Loved the narrators. Looking forward to more Sadie Bosque novels.

Wonderful book!

This may be the book by Sadie Bosque that I loved most! There’s humor and there’s angst here, and the two are perfectly mixed together. The road trip is adventurous, funny and captivating and the love story is a perfectly portrayed slow burn (with an explosive outcome, quite foreseeable from the chemistry between the characters since the beginning!). I loved both characters, especially the sweet and caring scoundrel Gabriel, who’s definitely NOT in love with his Eve (ha ha ha)… Bosque is a great writer and I’ll never tire of repeating that her greatest strength is to be able to write very human, very flawed and very realistic characters. A five star read if ever there was one. (Listen to the audiobook! Both narrators are gorgeous and the already gorgeous reading experience is enhanced tenfold!)

Near Perfect!

Loved everything about this book. I loved Gabriel's character and just the overall playfulness, banter and chemistry between the hero/heroine. This is so far my favorite of the series and the two narrators are superb.
