Sebastian St. Vincent of course, closely followed by the Duke of Villers (from the Desperate Duchesses series). Great review!

Please count me in for the giveaway too. Your review was fabulous, and now I really would love to read Scandal. My favourite reformed rake (or rather reformed person) is Sebastian in Patricia Gaffney’s To Have and To Hold.

I adore Gideon from Anne Gracie’s The Perfect Rake but honestly, despite the title, I never believe in his rakishness all that much. So I’m going to vote for the adorably flawed Bentley (“Hell-Bent”) Rutledge from Liz Carlyle’s books. I literally have kept A Woman of Virtue only because he has a few brief scenes in it!

(I don’t know if Nick Gently counts as a rake, seeing as he only has had sex with one woman before the heroine…? )

Um, I’m also madly in love with St. Vincent. The Devil in Winter is one of my all time faves.

I’m also really looking forward to the Duke of Villiers’s book, from Eloisa James’s Desperate Duchesses series. I think he’s just fascinating and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for him.

Great review Ana! I keep hearing such great things about this book.

Hmmm – I agree with those who mentioned Sebastian St Vincent and Devil Cynster (oh, and great call Andrea on Reggie from The Rake and the Reformer – I LOVED that book), but the rake for me has to be Julian, Marquess of Brandon from Loretta Chase’s Knave’s Wager

Please count me in for this drawing.
My favorite rake: Reginal Davenport from The Rake and the Reformer by Mary Jo Putney (later expanded and reissued as The Rake). Sebastian St. Vincent is a close second.

St Vincent is one of my favourites, but I will go with either Lucien from Lord of Fire by Gaelen Foley, or another Sebastian, this time from Eloisa James Duchess Quartet. I didn’t particularly like the main couples in the first three books, but I did love the secondary romance that threaded through the books featuring Sebastian and Esme.
