From The Book Junkie Reads . . . One Dangerous Desire (Accidental Heirs, #3) . . .
Historical fiction especially romance allows for me to visit a world where I would never have been accepted and to enjoy a romance that is fundamentally basic in most aspects. Saying this I get to the current duo of Rex and May.
These two wanted each other but felt there was something else they needed/wanted. Depending on whom was looking at it. They just could not see past it. I found the scenes fast past then crashing together to a slower pace. I felt out of place in more than one place and had to return to the beginning. This read took me longer than usually to read because I had to return to the beginning of the paragraph or chapter in some cases.
Once all is said and done. This was a good enough read. Maybe I need to go back to the other two books of the series and she how they play out and to see the connections as they grow.

In a bet between two old flames…
In a bet between two old flames…
Rex Leighton dominates the boardroom
in the day and prowls the ballroom at night. Searching for the perfect bride to
usher him into the aristocracy, he abandoned the idea of love a long time
ago--the last time he saw the delicious May Sedgwick. But when he’s roped into
a bet, where the prize is the means to fund his greatest ambition and the
stakes are a marriage he’s already planning for, Rex is willing to go all in.
There’s just one problem-he’s competing against the only woman he’s ever loved
and he’s sure she’ll ruin all his plans.
Only love can take it all
Miss May Sedgwick could be the belle
of the season…if she cared. May is more interested in the art studio than the
marriage market and her craving to pursue her passion far outweighs her desire
for a titled English husband. Winning this bet will finally allow her to pursue
her true artistic desires. Rex Leighton losing is just a side benefit, as are
his breathtaking kisses that she just can’t seem to resist.
Teaser . . .
“Against your will, then?
This rogue desire to see me finally beat out your better judgment?” Sarcasm had
never been May’s strong suit. She hadn’t mastered the right tone.
“I fight it every day,” he
said in such a raspy whisper that she leaned in to catch it. “The desire to see
you.”
Fueled by Pacific Northwest coffee and inspired by multiple viewings of
every British costume drama she can get her hands on, Christy Carlyle writes
sensual historical romance set in the Victorian era. She loves heroes who
struggle against all odds and heroines who are ahead of their time. A former
teacher with a degree in history, she finds there’s nothing better than being
able to combine her love of the past with a die-hard belief in happy endings.

FIVE BET'S TO MAKE WHEN MARRYING A RAKE
Bet #3
Like Lady, Like Rake
Etiquette books
remind ladies to behave demurely, deny compliments, and exude propriety at
every turn. Obviously, such admonitions won’t aid a lady if she’s determined to
allow a rake to woo her. Don’t hide your cleverness or restrain your witty
tongue and let a rake do all the talking, ladies. Don’t diminish your own
talents to build up any man’s ego. Charm as you are charmed. Seduce as you are
seduced. Have no fear of overwhelming a rake with precisely how impressive you
can be. Any rake worth his salt will find much to admire in a lady of
intelligence, wit, and accomplishments.
If he can jest, why can’t you? If he can seek to impress you with his wit or
sporting skills, why not display your own? Whoever you are, whatever your
interests and inclinations, let your inner beauty shine. You take care to dress
your hair or choose the most flattering gowns, don’t you, ladies? Be sure to
treat a rake to your inner adornments too. Outer beauty fades. If you’re
looking to pursue your happy ending with a rake, he must value your heart and
nature just as thoroughly as he is taken with your pretty face and fine eyes.
