The uncrowned king of broken hearts, Gabriel Sinclair is rescued from an untimely end by an angel. But golden-haired Louisa Peabody is not only the most beautiful woman he's ever seen; she's also the first to find him totally resistible -- a challenge he can't ignore. So he willingly aids her in her reform efforts ... knowing that eventually, he'll get what he wants. Louisa has appointed herself the defender of innocents, knowing no man can be trusted -- yet she only pretends to unaffected by Gabriel. For his tantalizing whispers invite her to abandon her fears, and his stolen kisses make her burn. But which is more dangerous: his enticing smile, or his vulnerable heart? And does she really want to reform him ... or surrender to him?

In 1818 London, notorious rake Gabriel Sinclair now realizes the first law of dealing with the other sex. Rakes must never mess with virgins. Due to a bet, he was trapped inside a monastery filled with girls and nuns. Now the "Fallen Angel" finds his neck in a noose as one of the largest crowds in recent years attends his public hanging. In a mix up, do-gooder Louisa Peabody and her cohorts rescue Gabriel instead of saving a woman from the fates of Newgate as they planned.
Gabriel thinks he died and ended up in a hell occupied by six women, five brats, and a giant eunuch. Once he learns the truth, he decides he must have his angel even if she is the first female immune to his charms. Instead, Louisa demands he assists her and her merry band of women with their endeavor to rescue other females who have fallen victim to unfair male laws. Money persuades Gabriel to assist the group. However, he finds himself motivated by love for the one woman who, at least outwardly, rejects his advances. How can a no-gooder prove to a do-gooder that they belong together while pushing forward women's rights?
NEVER TRUST A RAKE is a very intriguing Regency romance that focuses on the lack of women's rights during the early nineteenth century. The lead protagonists are an interesting pair, who will remind readers of Guys and Dolls transferred back to 1818. The support cast amplifies the feel of the period even as they propel the plot forward. Award winning author Eileen Putman provides an invigorating novel that deserves fan acclaim for its exciting plot with a deep message cleverly incorporated into the story.

Louisa Peabody had saved a group of women prisoners from a terrible fate. All she wanted to do was to give these women a better life outside of prison. Gabriel Sinclair thought Louisa was too innocent for her own good. He felt one should have a little adventure in life. This love story is slow to develop, but the conflict and tension are strong and sometimes quite funny.

So the cover's awful. The hero looks like he's the second Golem monster. The heroine looks like she's wearing a bad wig. But please don't let it turn you off.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK.
Despite some flaws, this book is a gem. Trust me. Brilliant dialogue, exciting adventure, and the funniest nuns in any romances you'll ever find. Oh, and the love scenes are good. Just don't let the cover shoo you away.
Look out for my review on the Avon Books page in July.
