Wild Wild Rake

In Janna MacGregor's Wild Wild Rake, the sixth and final installment in the Cavensham Heiresses historical romance series, this loveswept romance will have you weeping in no time. For Avalon Cavensham Pierce, she was forced into a loveless marriage to Richard Pierce, the Lord Warwyk.  He treated her cold and cheated on her with his pregnant mistress, Mary Bolen. While she was pregnant with his heir, his mistress spared him from harming her and her unborn baby. Ten years later, Avalon is a single mother with her ten-year-old son Thane, who raised him for nine years ever since her husband died from a fever. She spent her time helping unfortunate women who were down on their luck and using her money as a charity. But when Devan Farris, the new vicar of his community, have been asked to spy on her for his brother Gavin, he had no choice since his brother forced his hand. And when he met Avalon and her son Thane, his luck had changed when he tutored Thane. Due to one incident in the wine cellar, magic happened between them when they've shared feelings and how much of the past had hurt them. But after that night in the cellar, there's been accusations against Devan that put his reputation to the test. Only Avalon and Devan knew the truth, and when asked, Avalon proposed a plan for them to marry by special license to salvage his career. All bets aside and the truth is revealed, they've found each other as true soul mates that belonged together with a fitting ending to the series.

What a beautiful way to wrap up this series, though this is the second book in the series. I've read the 4th one last year. I loved how emotionally involved I was in Avalon's world and how she changed things for the better for others around her. She changed a negative into a positive for her and her son. I instantly cared for her and how she became her own woman and found true love with Devan Farris. I loved how she looked after Thane and her sister Sophia too. I did find Devan a charming vicar who had found his own belonging in the village and how he captivated his congregation around him. He became someone that Thane should look up to as he grows up. I loved the English countryside for the locations and the settings in and around London that transported us there. The theme is that love can transcend between two lovers and everyone deserves a second chance to find true love.
