The rake's return

A decade ago, wallflower Alyssa Drake's heart broke when Adam Alistair was banished from Mowbray. Now, he's back—wealthy, titled and more cynical than before! And Alyssa's determined not to fall under this notorious rake's spell ever again…

Reluctant viscount Adam knows only betrayal. But Alyssa proves herself an unexpected ally when he finds his life endangered, and they are forced into a sham engagement. Their betrothal may be fake, but there's no denying the very real passion that explodes between them!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Alyssa is just the loveliest heroine that I have met for a while... I really like her strong will, her resilience and the fact that nothing - especially Adam - get's in her way once she is on a mission... This I am absolutely certain is going to be a favorite of any Historical Romance reader, and I can see this is going to be on many bookshelves. Lara Temple has definitely got a real winner on her hand's with The Reluctant Viscount."
Chicks Rogues and Scandals
"the dialogue between the protagonists is superbly executed and is one of the book's strengths; there's a real sense of the strong emotional connection between them and the underlying romantic and sexual tension bubbles along nicely." "I wanted more of Adam and Alyssa and their delicious banter and wonderful sexual tension"

About the Author

Lara Temple writes strong, sexy regency romances about complex individuals who give no quarter but do so with plenty of passion.

Her fourth book with Harlequin Mills & Boon, 'Lord Hunter's Cinderella Heiress' will be published in November 2017, and will be the first in her Wild Lords series. Her three previous books are: The Duke's Unexpected Bride, The Reluctant Viscount, and Lord Crayle's Secret World.
When she was fifteen Lara found a very grubby copy of Georgette Heyer's Faro's Daughter in an equally grubby book store. Several blissful hours later she emerged, blinking, into the light of day completely in love with Regency Romance but it took three decades of various fascinating but completely unrelated careers in finance and high tech before she returned to her first love.

Lara lives with her husband and two children who are very good about her taking over the kitchen table for her writing (so she can look out over the garden and dream). She loves to travel (especially to places steeped in history) and read as many books as possible. She recently went looking for that crowded little bookstore but couldn't quite remember around what corner it was...hopefully it is still there and another girl is in the corner by the window, reading and dreaming...

Both MCs felt genuine and were fully developed as characters. Their banter was entertaining and their interactions and dialogue felt natural and unforced. This was my first time reading this author and now I'm eager to read her other books.

I'm really pleased to have discovered Lara Temple and her historical romances, it's always good to find new writers whose work you enjoy and whose books draw you in to a world full of interesting places and characters that help to create the right conditions for lovely story.
This tale had intrigue, passion, angst, attempted murder and misunderstandings, the perfect ingredients for an enjoyable read.
Very good.
