Reformed Rakes

The Letter

Jared Warren is a wealthy duke, a peer of the realm, and he cannot have his young wife recklessly embarking on one escapade after another--no matter how charming or passionate she might be. However, trying to rein in his beautiful bride proves to be both a challenge...and a pleasure.

Patricia is madly in love with her handsome, autocratic husband, but somehow can't seem to stay in his good graces. Behind closed doors they find erotic fulfillment in each other's arms and Jared is a wonderful, inventive lover, but he is also a stickler for propriety in all other situations...

Compromising Situations

Andrew Carlton is a seasoned rake trapped into an untenable position, and sparks fly when he is forced to marry Christa Hatton, the very prim daughter of a duke. Who plotted so they would be found together is a mystery, but someone has it in for one of them. 

However, to his dismay, Andrew finds his bride is not exactly the shy debutante he expected but is instead stubborn, moody, and has a "shell." Used to women falling into his arms, Andrew isn't sure exactly how to deal with his innocent, headstrong bride. 

Even if the arrangement isn't of her choice, Christa finds that being pressured into marriage with a man of Carlton's reputation has some benefits. For one thing, he certainly knows what to do in the bedroom. The question is will he make a good husband, and more than that, why were they lured into a compromising situation in the first place?

A Woman Seduced

Viscount Cheviot is a notorious rogue, reputed to be an incomparable lover, and when Shannon Cates sneaks into his bedroom to retrieve her beloved father's watch, the last thing she expects is to spend an erotic night in the arms of the legendary lord. Yielding to temptation when faced with the seductive Devlin Moore, she is swept into a storm of passion that rivals her most exceptional and shocking fantasies.

Beguiled by the force of the pleasure he shared with the mysterious young lady he had mistaken for a common prostitute, Devlin seeks to find her real identity, amazed when she turns out to be an icy widow of reputed unshakable virtue. Knowing her secret capacity for unbridled pleasure, he seeks to tempt her by promising wicked excess and complete sexual license, sweeping her into a tumultuous love affair that can only end in disaster…

REVIEWS for The Letter [Reformed Rakes 1]

5 Flags: "Emma Wildes has once again penned a vibrant Regency story. Each word appears to be carefully chosen to develop the characters of this story as well as the atmosphere of the time period. Patricia’s teasing and wry sense of humor in one so young as well as her ability to let go of her innocence and take pleasure in her sensuality make her an endearing character while Jared’s sexual experience and devotion to his young bride make him an ideal husband. Ms. Wildes’ terminology and mastery of the English language immerses the reader into the time period. The possessiveness and depth of emotion shared between Patricia and Jared is heartwarming. This story is very sweet and it brought tears to my eyes. The Letter is a definite must-read as is my experience with all of Ms. Wildes’ books!" —Kerin, Euro-Reviews

5 Stars: "The Letter contains several very hot and amazing sexual encounters between Jared and Patricia, but it also boasts a truly interesting and exciting plot. The characters are well developed; we are privy to their thoughts which show growth through their conversations with confidants who are described only well enough to show their loyalty. Jared asks his mentor to query his own wife as to what a woman desires most as a gift from her husband. Patricia determines to use her newly discovered sexual power to ensure her husband not only falls in love with her, but recognizes her as his closest friend and confidant as well as the only sexual partner he’ll ever desire. There is intrigue in the guise of a spurned lover from the distant past determined to do away with Patricia. When the result changes Jared in the most delightful ways, his new attitude and actions cause the plot to develop in the most delightful ways also. The storyline is clever and enticing, very well written, with sex scenes that are interesting as well as arousing, making The Letter a book that stands out far above the rest and a pleasure to read." —Karen Haas, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

4.5 Blue Ribbons: "With her captivating prose, Emma Wildes intimately describes the sensual awakening of Patricia, Duchess of Tellbourne. Though for Jared’s part, nothing can quite prepare him for the overwhelming pleasure that he gains form tutoring his wife. It would seem at times, that both our heroine and hero are being awoken to new experiences and intimacies. However, as the Duke and Duchess revel in their newly found passions, a dark specter looms over them in the form of the Duke’s former mistress, Lady Alicia Black. Consumed with raging jealousy, Lady Black sets out upon a course of action that is destined to change forever the lives of all those involved. After reading just two of Ms. Wildes' ebooks, I am already a huge fan. The Letter contains a rich and vivid style of writing, with intimate descriptions that are the signature mark of this talented author. Ms.Wildes draws in the reader and almost envelopes them with her sensually descriptive and enormously satisfying historical tales." —Deborah, Romance Junkies

4.5 Kisses: "The Letter was refreshingly different from many Regency romances I’ve read; instead of a lengthy courtship culminating in a wedding, this is the story of a married couple testing the bounds of their intimacy. Jared manages to exert his control without being overly domineering, and Patricia enjoys submission despite her spirited personality. I absolutely loved it when Jared decided to stop being a gentleman in the bedroom. Delicious! I could almost feel the heat of Patricia’s responsiveness to his creative lovemaking. Their combined sexuality burns up the pages, and I devoured the story in one sitting. The element of danger adds a nice dimension to the drama, and Emma Wildes writes it in a believable way. I’m looking forward to reading the next installment of the Reformed Rakes series." Lindy, Two Lips Reviews

4.5 Stars: "Emma Wildes spins a tale of a man who does not know he is in love with his wife, but his path to discovery is filled with blazing hot sex. Jared and Patricia live in a time when enjoying sex is not considered proper for the members of society. When Jared teaches Patricia that sex is more then a method of making heirs, Patricia cannot wait to tell her best friend about her adventures in bed. Unfortunately, someone else over hears her and plans to destroy the young Duchess. Patricia is responsible for capturing the heart of Jared Warren but another woman feels the Duke belongs to her! Can Jared save his wife before it is too late?" —Candy, Ecataromance

 

REVIEWS for Compromising Situations [Reformed Rakes 2]

5 Angels: F.A.R. Recommended Read: "I truly enjoyed getting to know Andrew. He is the kind of to-die-for bad boy who has set hearts thumping forever: sinfully handsome, sinfully good in bed…and yet with that redeemable heart women are always hoping to find lurking just below the surface! Of course it takes just the right woman to bring out such a trait. Ms. Wildes allows the reader the vicarious thrill of watching Christa achieve that status in a believable manner. In addition, she was able to breathe life into several secondary characters to a rather extraordinary degree, considering the short length of this story. Apparently, this is the second of two in The Reformed Rakes series by this author, and I am willing to bet the first, entitled The Letter, is just as charming. I recommend this to anyone looking for a quick, yet satisfying romp between the sheets set in the Regency era." —Lynn, Fallen Angel Reviews

5 Flowers: Recommended Read: "Miss Wildes has given her readers a gift with this gem of a regency romance. She’s created a well researched and vividly detailed story of historical England, where a person’s reputation could be made or destroyed on a whim. The characters of Andrew and Christa are both likable and the plot surprisingly well developed for a book of this short length. While the relationship between them starts off sedately and chaste, it’s not long before they’re married and heating up the sheets as Andrew discovers the hidden sexuality of his young bride. The person behind their compromising situation is well hidden until the end, and the identity is a total surprise when revealed. It’s a sign of a great author when the reader races to the end, trying to figure out who the villain is, and Miss Wildes had done just that, and done it well. I’m not a great reader of regency romances, but I can’t recommend this wonderful little book enough." —Pam, My Book Cravings

5 Stars: "Compromising Situations has everything, a plot filled with intrigue and romance, a sexy rakehell hero, a beautiful innocent who eagerly grasps all the lessons in pleasure her new husband is delighted to teach and a crafty villain determined to ruin it all for some unfathomable reason secreted in dim scandal from the past. Andrew's twin Adam, the sixth Earl of Wenton and his insatiable countess, Helena, are engaging secondary characters who add to the story in their support of the newlyweds and also their own happily sensual relationship. The sex scenes are especially well written in a range of sensuality from making me blush to waking my own hero. You can't go wrong with a book from Emma Wildes' Reformed Rakes series; they are a guaranteed satisfying read." —Karen Haas, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

4.5 Kisses: "Emma Wildes delivers an enjoyable mystery with likeable main characters and a plot that is well-developed despite the short length of the book. I like that they don't fight against being thrown together, despite the fact that it wasn't their idea. Even though they don't know each other very well, they seem to recognize what a good thing they've found in each other. Their chemistry clicks, drawing the reader into a tale of delectable passion and love. Once again, I'm looking forward to the next part of this wonderful series." —Lindy, Two Lips Reviews

4.5 Stars: "Emma Wildes brings the readers a story of historical England, where reputations are important enough to destroy lives. Christa and Andrew wed after they are found in a compromising situation. In spite of the circumstances that compelled them to marry, Christa and Andrew discover a love that burns off the pages of this book. When someone sends threatening notes to Christa after the wedding, Andrew is sure that someone still wants to cause trouble. Can Andrew discover who is behind the original notes that placed them in a compromising situation before that person destroys their new happiness?" —Candy, Ecataromance

 

REVIEWS for A Woman Seduced [Reformed Rakes 3]

5 Blue Ribbons: "Emma Wildes writes brilliant historical storylines that promise to captivate readers. A Woman Seduced is the third book in the Reformed Rakes series and I absolutely loved everything about the storyline. Shannon’s plight especially drew me into this tale. She’s basically at the mercy of her irresponsible brother and risks everything to be with Devlin. Devlin has a reputation as a rake, but his feelings for Shannon go far beyond simple sexual attraction. I highly recommend this story and if you haven’t read the other books in the series then don’t worry. A Woman Seduced can be read as a stand alone, but you’ll probably want to pick up the other books as well." —Chrissy Dionne, Romance Junkies

5 Stars: “A poor woman is taken care of by a renown lover...
    
This is steamy. Lord Viscount mistakes Shannon Cates as a prostitute. She goes along with it to obtain the watch she was trying to steal. She discovers that he truly is a polished lover. He takes her as his lover, and he falls in love with her.
     Anything by Emma Wildes is guaranteed to sizzle. Do not pass this one up!" —Ashley Turlington, Review Your Book

5 Flags: "I am a devoted fan of Emma’s and this book just reinforces it. Sexy and hot, Devlin is the bad boy every woman wants in her bed and Shannon at heart is just like all the women out there. High marks!" —Melisa, Euro-Reviews

5 Angels: "I loved A Woman Seduced. It is a wonderful and skilled combination of erotica and romance. The sex is hot but believable. Nothing too crazy for a widow newly introduced to the erotic arts. The sex scenes also show the reader the buildup of trust and tender feelings between the two lovers. Emma Wildes intersperses 'real life' with the bedroom scenes and I believed this couple interested each other mentally as well as physically." —Kimber, Fallen Angel Reviews
