I loved this book. I went into this book a bit hesistant but it was such a great cinderlla inspired story with a twist. I realy loved both main characters and thought there love story was unique and something i had a not read before. I also really loved the dyamnics the leads had between the step sisters in this story and also the villan in this story really turned this story on the head and i loved it i def need to read more by this author in the future

The Rake and the Rose by Eva Devon
To me this is a story of pain suppressed and the energy refocused on avoiding pain in the future and in so doing preventing those in pain from enjoying life. It is a story of an almost fated love sidelined for years and almost lost for good. It is a story of the disparity between social stations, expectations of those within the various levels to behave a certain way, and the pain that often caused. It had manipulative people, caring kind people, fearful people, people who thought they knew the truth and really didn’t, and a good man that hid his goodness from others. It also had “rake” in many variations repeated over and over and the main person it was used to describe seemed almost more saintly than rakish.
I never really figured out how old Rose, Harry, and Alexander were supposed to be. Rose, at times, seemed more like she was sixteen than in her twenties but she could probably not have achieved what she had if she wasn’t older than her maturity level seemed to be. Alexander was more than he let on to others and I would have liked to see more of him in other situations. Harry was misguided and protective but did harm in his righteousness – wondering if he gets a book and who he will end up with. I felt both Harry and Rose, though from a lower social level, seemed rather priggish at times and not easy to cotton to making me wonder how they were friends with Alexander at all.
I think that the people I liked the best might have been Evelyn Turnbridge, a Cyprian, or perhaps Lily. Those two seemed to have a better handle on life than the main characters. I am guessing that Harry will have his story told next and though I can’t see him with Evelyn…it might be interesting. My questions at the end, besides the ages of the characters and the time between eviction of the Digby’s and Rose meeting up with Alexander again had to do with whether or not an heir had been born to any of the characters in the books of this series written so far.
Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled-Amara for the ARC – This is my honest review.
