Cold-Hearted Rake

"Readers are introduced to the unforgettable characters and their original personalities through a delightful storyline peppered with sharp repartee and steamy sensuality. Yet it is the change in the characters' motivations that intrigues and charms readers, moving this novel onto that special spot on readers' keeper shelves."--RT Book Reviews (top pick)
"Intricately and elegantly crafted, intensely romantic, and with secondary characters and an epilogue that will leave readers anxiously awaiting more. A gratifying series starter from a not-to-be-missed romance author."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"insightful characterization, an abundance of super-charged sexual chemistry, a dash of dry humor, and a to-die-for hero, all of which will have the author's legions of fans giddy with delight at her triumphant return to historical romance."--Booklist (starred review)
"A cadre of three-dimensional characters who captivate from the moment you meet them and a multi-layered plot that allows the characters to grow will keep fans intrigued by this addictive, rewarding story. [...] This delightful, compelling story is the first in Kleypas's new Victorian series about the Ravenel family."--Library Journal (starred review)
