FIVE BET'S TO MAKE WHEN MARRYING A RAKE
Bet #2
Enjoy Your Dance with a Rake
Every rake has his tried and true methods for capturing a woman’s interest. Some may come by charm naturally, but the dance of wooing a woman takes effort and determination. There are books that advise men how best to approach a lady and what to do to appeal to women. Believe me, ladies, it’s no coincidence that rakes are some of the most charming and appealing men you’ll ever meet. Many speak of a woman’s wiles, but rakes have mastered the art of seduction. Worst of all, they expect every lady to fall for their lures. Yet, have you ever found that a rake quickly loses interest in a lady who responds to his flirtation too easily?
I suggest you, ladies, refrain from doing so. Enjoy the dance. If a rake is set on wooing you, and you are set on allowing him to do so, then enjoy every step. Accept his offer to sweep you across a ballroom now and then, and allow yourself to acknowledge a compliment here and there. Test his techniques until he’s exhausted all of his practiced methods and is left to appeal to you by revealing his true nature. You just might find that your rake is a man of substance underneath all of that gloss.

In a bet between two old flames…
Rex Leighton dominates the boardroom in the
day and prowls the ballroom at night. Searching for the perfect bride to usher
him into the aristocracy, he abandoned the idea of love a long time ago--the
last time he saw the delicious May Sedgwick. But when he’s roped into a bet,
where the prize is the means to fund his greatest ambition and the stakes are a
marriage he’s already planning for, Rex is willing to go all in. There’s just
one problem-he’s competing against the only woman he’s ever loved and he’s sure
she’ll ruin all his plans.
Only love can take it all
Miss May Sedgwick could be the belle of the
season…if she cared. May is more interested in the art studio than the marriage
market and her craving to pursue her passion far outweighs her desire for a
titled English husband. Winning this bet will finally allow her to pursue her
true artistic desires. Rex Leighton losing is just a side benefit, as are his
breathtaking kisses that she just can’t seem to resist.
My Thoughts:
First off, if you haven't read any of the previous stories, don't worry, One Dangerous Desire can be read as a standalone. Anyway. We meet Rex and May. Now these two had a previous relationship, but circumstances caused these two break apart. Gotta love dear old dad. Basically, she left New York to find herself a title, because that's what mother would love for her. Unbeknownst to her she runs into her former beau, but he's no longer the guy she knew. I mean with a name change and new life, you gotta change.
Now Rex, he has started a new better life in England. Now he wants to build the most impressive hotel, but one problem: capital. He heard that he get it from a particular duke, but he tends to lend money to friends easier. I don't know if that's the greatest idea, anyway. Brilliant idea pops into his head he could marry the Duke's daughter. BRILLIANT! One problem: May, the girl he left behind. Instead of being in New York she's best friend with Duke's daughter. How this just got complicated for him.
We watch these two try to avoid their feelings for one another. Plus, they end up double dating with an Earl and his sister. Which is kind of funny, because they want one another, yet both are too stubborn to go after what they want.
Overall, I did like One Dangerous Desire. I liked that May and Rex had to go all the way to England to find what they were looking for. The danger doesn't pop up until we draw closer to the end and Rex starts to worry about May's safety. However, May is fierce and stronger than most people give her credit. A perfect for Rex. A decent read.
