This was third and final in the Rogues to Lovers series. Taking place in the seaside town of Bellehaven Bay, Kitty and Leo grew up rivals as architect apprentices. Leo left for London but is back 4 years later and is determined to win Kitty’s heart who he has always secretly loved. They both enter an architectural contest and exchange favors…he gives her help with technical details and she turns him into a rake (what all the ladies want) to win the heart of the unknown woman that he loves (Kitty herself). As she gives lessons in rakish behavior to the honorable and gentlemanly Leo, humor and hijinks ensue. I enjoyed this, especially Leo’s character, who in my opinion had the patience of a saint where Kitty’s insecurities and neediness were concerned. Cute interactions, steamy moments and sweet declarations. My sincere thanks to the author, NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing the free early arc of It Takes a Rake for review. The opinions are strictly my own.
