REVENGE REALLY DOESN’T PAY.

Except that he drives off with the wrong woman . . . and as if that wasn’t scandalous enough, he can’t resist stealing a kiss.

50 Ways to Ruin a Rake

by Jade Lee

Sourcebooks Casablanca

Release Date: May 5th, 2015

Review:

This is definitely the most fun I’ve read from Jade!

It’s also the most different from her because it’s a comical! Yes! You read that right, comical!

As you may not know,  many of Jade’s Historical romances lean towards the darker and tortured side of romance with angst and all but this is one heck of a fun read!
