Frederick Worth, the Earl of Brent, is out of luck. He's gambled away a considerable fortune, and London's creditors are in pursuit. Rather than return to Faraday Hall and risk his father's displeasure, he flees to his property in the remote north. Only Penshaw Manor isn't quite the safe, comfortable haven he expects. Freddie is horrified to discover that not only is the property in an alarming state of disrepair but "the Earl of Brent" is loathed by tenants and neighbors alike. Forced to conceal his true identity, he finds himself enjoying this small circle of society, even as he falls for the lovely--if oftentimes infuriating--Miss Rosalind Harris. Now he's tempted to bid farewell to his rakish ways and become the true lord of Penshaw Manor. But first, Freddie must prove his worth to Miss Rosalind--and to himself--before anyone discovers who he really is....… (mehr)

Although we are not given the details of the useless and profligate life that the Earl of Brent has lead so far, we are informed that he has gambled all his money away and is greatly in debt. So in December 1817 this leads to the decision to flee London with his best friend Trevor to Penshaw Manor, an estate he owns. This is where his reformation begins when he meets his tenants, and the family of the steward.
I enjoyed this story, and liked the characters, and the style of writing and so shall look out for more of the series.

Ms. Marks is a new author to me. A Rake Reformed started off on the wrong foot. There was plenty of promise but the story took longer than I expected in gaining it's sea legs. I'meant a fast reader and like my stories to be as fast pasted as I am. My lukewarm opinion started to go full throttle when Fredrick went from careless young boy to a responsible young man. His metamorphic was complete as he opened his heart to love and opened his mind to learning the benefit of maturity. A Rake Reformed is slow moving but given a chance it'seems worth the trip. (

Regency with misunderstandings, hidden identities, and the redemption of a 'rake' who is not really very rakish.

Not too objectionable, just not very taking, if you know what I mean. The characters were not really likable, and acted erratically. Scenes were contrived and seemed unnatural. I lost interest in the story early on, but it did not make me angry, just indifferent.

Also, I am not a fan of the 'sustained lying about who you are' trope in romance, so perhaps this was a doomed book-reader relationship from the start.
