All four books in The Rake Chronicles together in the flesh! (okay, I do also have a free novella that is the fifth book, but it only lives in digital form).

It took me a while to get all four of my book babies together but now I have done it! A perfect pairing with the reader guide I posted yesterday 😘. Swipe to the end to see the physical copies of the Japanese translation of WHEN THE DUKE LOVED ME. #historicalromance #historicalromances #regencyromance #flatlayphotography #lemon8book

My favorite underrated books to recommend
📖 This book is full of light academia, multiple world religions, and quests. It is hard to say much without giving anything away. This is easily one of the best books I’ve ever read. It is a little strange and has a ton a Christian and non Christian religious references, so keep an open mind. 🥀
