Feb 22, Jane Hunt rated it really liked it. In this novella, Violet's secrets are revealed and they prove too damning, even for her to brazen out, amid the 'haute ton'. This short story has all the emotion, heartache and passionate romance, you find in the longer stories but it is faster paced and more focused on actions and consequences than inner emotional turmoil.

It reads perfectly well as a short stand alone tale but is far more enjoyable if you have read the previous book in the series. This story is an interesting expose into the hidden secrets of Regency society with a strong female lead and an alpha hero who has to change his ways to win her heart. This novella is free to read from Harper Impulse. Oct 09, Jo Hughes rated it really liked it. I was effortlessly pulled back to this time and I soon loved characters I had met before.

I loved that Geoffrey is distraught at Violet leaving and he chases her to find out why she had left and finally admit his feelings for her.

I got my copy of this book on www. Oct 05, Angela Smith rated it really liked it Shelves: There were a couple of editing issues like the word "here" being used instead of "hear" but otherwise a nice read.

It was different from some Regency books I have read in that the lady wasn't a paragon of virtue and as a "merry widow" was not unafraid to play the field.

Also rather different was that it was an older woman and a younger man who were the main characters of the book, possibly the first time I have seen it done within this genre. Geoff Lord Sparks is passionate, caring and totally There were a couple of editing issues like the word "here" being used instead of "hear" but otherwise a nice read. Geoff Lord Sparks is passionate, caring and totally in love with Lady Violet Rimes and means to tell her so, only to find she has disappeared and his heart is left in tatters, imagining all sorts of things about why she would have left without a word.

Desperate Love

Neither have spoken of their true feelings as it is not that sort of arrangement. Fear on both sides, hamper their re-union. Nov 30, Gabby What's Beyond Forks? I love this series. It's a definite favorite of mine, however this time the story felt very rushed. I felt like I didn't really get to know Violet or Geoffrey as much as I could have. There was a little bit of a role reversal.

Violet was the promiscuous "scoundrel" in this case, and Geoffrey seemed more the monogamous fellow, which I really liked. That was fun and dif Full Review at: That was fun and different, and it was interesting to watch them find each other again. Sep 06, Maria rated it really liked it. Geoffrey Sparks and Violet Rimes story was a very short story. If you have followed Jane Lark's series, this was tying up nicely the loose ends of these two characters.

It was very fast paced and very touching. I look forward to more of Jane Lark's stories, but I would love if they were longer than these short novellas. She is a great author, so I would ask for longer stories. I know her material can produce full length great stories. Dec 30, Bekah rated it it was ok. I wasn't too fond of this book I have to admit. It fell short and ended rather abruptly leaving me wondering, why I wasted my time on this book.

I did enjoy the reversed roles where Lady Violet was the rake, but there could have been so much more character play involved, rather than Lord Geoffrey chasing after her when she left town. It felt thrown together and it was a disappointing read, to say the least. Oct 05, Jude Knight rated it it was amazing. Jane Lark did it again! A lovely addition to the Marlowe opus. I liked Violet in The Passionate Love of a Rake - her fierce loyalty and her devil-may-care surface were very appealing. She deserved her own happy ending, and Sparks was the man to give it to her.

A lovely little story that I devoured in one sitting. Sep 09, J.

Kahele rated it really liked it. Cute Violet is a widow who has been carrying on with a man seven years her senior. When she finds that she is with child she leaves without word to anyone, trying to avoid a scandal. After learning Violet has left, Geoff is devastated.

He doesn't understand why she would leave, what he did wrong, so he sets out to find her. Dec 01, Vicki rated it really liked it Shelves: I enjoyed the story and the characters. Sometimes a quick novella is exactly what is needed. Violet and Geoff were content with the affair they were having. Violet was a widow that had made all the rules clear before starting up with Geoffrey.

When Violet gets some unexpected news she has to rethink her situation and moves away. I enjoyed this book. Sep 02, P. A totally predictable story, that while short seems too long because It was free, so I almost feel as if I should give it another star, but can't, because predictability of the 'total' sort is inherently boring. It's well written, but that doesn't help much. Oct 14, Sally Hannoush rated it it was amazing.
