About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan returns with an all new sizzling historical romance in her Duke Hunt series about a woman determined to reclaim her family home from the dangerously handsome owner of London’s most popular gaming hell.

The owner of London’s most popular gaming hell, wealthy and powerful Silas Masters, is feared by men and desired by women—except Mercy Kittinger. When the blackguard wins her family home in a game of cards, Mercy steals into Silas’s rooms, intent on destroying the proof. But things don’t go to plan… 

She would have her way with him...

Caught in the act, Mercy must be bold to save herself...even if it means seducing the dangerous rogue and then disappearing with the dawn, debt voucher in hand. Safe at home and determined to settle back into her quiet, uneventful life, Mercy burns at the memory of her night spent ravishing the most compelling man she’d ever met. Thank goodness she’ll never see him again! 

He didn't see her coming...

No one trifles with Silas Masters. Even if he could forget the dark-haired seductress who undid him, he can’t allow anyone to steal from him. He will hunt down the sultry woman who haunts his dreams and show her just how sweet payback can be.

The rake really got it good in “The Rake Gets Ravished” by Sophie Jordan! In book two of The Duke Hunt series, Mercy Kittinger takes back her family’s home from the gaming hell owner, Silas Masters. Silas was not supposed to find Mercy in his chambers and he did not plan to accept what she offered, however one whiff of her and he saw oranges. The spicy beginning was unexpected and I am happy that the one scandalous decision Mercy does make, she wanted to do for herself and it coincidently allowed her to complete her plan. I love how she was written, she initiated moves and made moves. I want everything for Mercy! This book is heartbreaking because the heroine and villain are blood. Mercy takes care of her family and the lands that the owner should be handling. Is it too much to expect a roof over her and her sister’s head, and some respect? I do not remember the last time I wanted to slap a villainous, fictional character!! I loved that the hero’s humble beginnings rationalized Mercy’s actions quickly. Then, he gave her the partnership she was missing even when they were not official. I was tearing up, he was so good to her! I love his grand gesture even when his heart was breaking, and it was his act of services that allowed Mercy to think of herself as well as others. If you want all the feels, a brave heroine, and a hero who respects women, then this book is for you! Thank you to Net Galley, Avon, and Harper Voyager US for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.
