Say Hello to Jealous Rakes and June Mistakes
Jun 01, 2026 1:11 pm
Hello, lovely readers!
Jealous Rakes and June Mistakes releases today!
Tessa and Remmy are hot from long summer days and excited to share this family house party with everyone!
What's this one about? Well...
All the world’s a stage—and Remington Ives plays the part of a rake to perfection.
His theater is failing, and Remmy needs money fast. A scandalous rake's reputation might be the only thing that saves it.
But when a country house party reunites him with his childhood friend, his carefully crafted image begins to unravel.
Because Tessa King refuses to believe he’s a scoundrel.
The boy she grew up with couldn’t have changed so much in six years. Even if the man he’s become kisses her like he means to claim her the moment they’re alone.
Tessa is tempted to uncover the truth behind his dangerous charm and the Brazen Belle's scandalous article about him. But temptation is a luxury she cannot afford.
Her livelihood is at stake.
Tessa must choose between remaining a companion… or making a respectable marriage.
Unless Remmy can convince her there’s a third option.
Him.
Childhood friends, a rakish reputation, and a forbidden attraction collide at a scandalous house party—but risking their hearts may cost them everything.
Only six more books in The Rake Review season 2 after this one. Which one are you looking forward to?
And remember, the paperback has the steamy setback on the back cover, and can be purchased at all online retailers, not just Amazon!
Book Recommendations
Shannon Gillmore has released a boxset for her Illegitimate Desires series! You can grab it for your next binge read here!
If you're needing a fantasy with an independent heroine, here's a bunch of them!
I always call my heroines "determined" and I think that's accurate. Writing a determined heroine in historical fiction means she'll be up against some massive odds. For a woman to pursue her desires before she even had the right to vote is in itself an act of defiance, and to find a hero who's right by her side, helping her get exactly what she wants... well, I swoon every time. 😍
My heroes are all a bit like Kristoff from Frozen 2. When his lady's in the thick of conflict, he stretches out a hand and asks, "What do you need?"
Remmy does that with Tessa, and Bran, from The Duchess Curse, lives that way every day with Guin.
Happy reading!
