'Charming, witty, and thoroughly adorable! You'll fall in love with Grace and Sebastian...[Eva Leigh is] One of my favorite authors. Her books are pure romantic delight'. – Tessa Dare on My Fake Rake 'a jolt of electricity, a blast of fresh air — everything delightful and exciting you could want it to be.'New York Times Book Review on My Fake Rake Lady Grace Wyatt is content as a wallflower, focusing on scientific pursuits rather than the complications of society matches. But when a handsome, celebrated naturalist returns from abroad, Grace wishes, for once, to be noticed. Her solution: to create the perfect man, to act as her suitor, and help her catch his eye. Grace's colleague, anthropologist Sebastian Holloway, is just the blank slate she requires. To further his own research on English society, Sebastian agrees to let Grace transform him from a bespectacled, bookish academic into a dashing—albeit fake—rake. Between secret lessons on how to be a rogue and exaggerated public flirtations, Grace's feelings for Sebastian grow from friendship into undeniable, inconvenient, real attraction. If only she hadn't asked him to help her marry someone else... Sebastian is in love with brilliant, beautiful Grace, but their bargain is complete, and she desires another. Yet when he's faced with losing her forever, Sebastian will do whatever it takes to tell her the truth, even if it means risking his own future—and his heart.

      Listeners will delight in Zara Hampton-Brown's rousing and humorous performance, which fully embraces the high jinks that ensue in this romance. Lady Grace, a devoted scientist, transforms her colleague, Sebastian Holloway, into a notorious suitor to draw the attention of another man. When the socially awkward pair enlist the help of a revered duke, Hampton-Brown doesn't miss a comic beat as the trio build the perfect rake. Hampton-Brown also exudes the joy and passion the two scientists have for their fields of study, which only intensify as the slowly simmering feelings they begin to form for each other derail their plan. The scheme helps Sebastian manage his social anxiety, a trait that provides Hampton-Brown an outlet for a more subtle and reflective performance, balancing out the boundless energy of this friends-to-lovers romance.

      Starred review from September 30, 2019
      A pair of bookworms goes from friends to lovers in the charming first regency romance in the Union of Rakes series from Leigh (Dare to Love a Duke). Shy, awkward Sebastian “Seb” Holloway has been secretly pining for his good friend Lady Grace Wyatt for years, but Grace only has eyes for Mason Fredericks, a wealthy naturalist who is indifferent to her bookish charm. When Seb suggests that she’d have better luck catching Mason’s eye if he saw another man wooing her, Grace convinces Seb to play the role, and they enact a plan to transform Seb into a dashing rake. Seb’s best friend, the Duke of Rotherby, pitches in to instruct Seb on how to behave in society. As Seb secures a new wardrobe, takes dance lessons, and practices his seduction technique on ladies in the park, Grace realizes she’s been as blind to Seb as Mason has been toward her. The plot is as well developed as the lovers’ growing feelings. Readers will delight in this heartfelt, swoon-worthy tale. Agent: Kevon Lyon, Marsal Lyon Literary.
