Dec 26, 2025 11:01 am
Merry Christmas and any other Holidays you might celebrate!
I come bearing gifts.
I have FREE rakes to offer you. And 1700+ other free books in various genres.
Let's start with the rakes.
First, Gone with the Rake, Book 1 in my Inglorious Scoundrels series, is currently free for a few days for everyone! Yes, it is still free with amazon prime, but if you don't have prime or KU you can get it for absolutely free today and tomorrow with no obligations.
Just grab it, read it, and enjoy the steamy chaos (pun intended, iykyk).
Lydia Lawless is a thief. Her family fortune? A lie. To start a new, honest life, she needs to steal one last thing—a family heirloom from a charming viscount.
There’s just one problem.
The viscount is a man from her past. And to steal the jewel… she’ll have to get him naked.
Viscount Arthur Thornton has many regrets. Letting go of his first love is the greatest. Now, fate gives him a second chance… But if he claims it, he risks losing everything.
Including life as he knows it.
That's not all. Our multi-author series, Rake Review, Season II is coming soon. In fact, the first three books are currently on preorder:
And to celebrate we have two books of the first season free!
He may be Mr. Notorious…
Three weeks in November. Munro Notley told himself he need only survive twenty-one days in London, then his niece would be married, and he could disappear again. He’d been wandering Europe for years now, ever since Beatrice Haddington Barnet rejected his offer of marriage and wed his best friend instead. Now Notley’s brother, the viscount, has demanded his attendance at the family wedding, and Notley just wants to survive the social whirl without acknowledging her. It’s a brilliant plan…until Beatrice, now widowed, is standing before him and Notley makes a drunken confession he can’t take back.
But she’s the one with the nefarious scheme.
Beatrice knew she made a mistake almost as soon as she said her wedding vows. Despite being in love with Munro Notley, she’d rejected his proposal because of his reputation as an irredeemable rake. It turns out her husband was the true rake. A few years after their marriage, he was shot in a duel over a courtesan. Beatrice has vowed never to so much as look at a rake again. When she reads in The Rake Review that Notley is back in London for her niece’s wedding, she plans to stay as far from him as possible. But once she sees him, those broad shoulders and that smoldering smile stir up old feelings. He still wants her, and she can’t deny she wants him too.
Can he pass five wicked tests and claim her five scandalous prizes?
Beatrice will not trust a man so easily this time. If he wants her, Notley will have to pass not one, but five tests. For each challenge he passes, she’s offering a tantalizing reward. But Notley will not have an easy time of it. Beatrice’s wicked tests will prove once and for all whether Notley’s sobriquet as Mr. Notorious is well-deserved or whether he’s reformed his rakish ways.

In the frosty heart of Regency London, American engineer Weston Whitaker has arrived with a singular purpose: to perfect his steam-powered inventions. But his reckless disregard for England’s stifling social codes earns him a notorious reputation as “Tall, Dark, and December”, putting his project—and his prospects—in jeopardy. Bound by blood to a powerful duke, West is reluctantly drawn into society’s gilded web, where every glance and rumor can make or break him.
Tasked with taming this brooding American is Lady Penelope, London’s sharpest etiquette tutor and a woman who embodies the very aristocracy West disdains. Yet, beneath her proper exterior, Penelope is as fierce and unconventional as he is, and West finds himself captivated by her bold mind and dangerous wit. As sparks fly between them, Penelope battles to remain detached, unwilling to fall for a man who could so easily unravel her carefully constructed life.
When West’s secrets threaten to shatter their budding love, he must decide to confront the family he never wanted or leave England—and the woman he’s falling for—forever. In a city where every scandal and secret counts, can this iron-willed inventor win the heart of the woman who’s turned his world upside down?

One last thing before I vanish back into the writing cave.
I receive a lot of messages from you and... I absolutely love hearing from you! I love, love, love, love your thoughts, your takes on your favorite characters, the plot twists that made you gasp or throw your Kindle across the room.
But I also noticed a pattern in those messages.
So many of you confess the same thing: you have no one else to talk to about historical romance. No one who understands the appeal of a well-timed glove removal or a morally compromised duke.
It is, tragically, not easy to spot a fellow hist rom enthusiast in the wild.
But did you know that there is a whole community out there?
We built the Brazen Belles with my fellow authors: a Facebook group for historical romance lovers who want to gush, rant, debate, and collectively lose their minds over excellent books.
Come join us. Bring your opinions. Your enthusiasm. Your unhinged love of rakes, morally grey heroes, and cinnamon rolls.
And this year, we’re carving out a special nook just for Rake Review Season II readers—with dedicated readalongs so you can discuss every delicious moment in real time.
What is a readalong?
It’s a month-long reading party where everyone reads the same book. Readalong leaders post weekly discussion questions and prompts, and the group jumps in to chat, debate, swoon, rage, and spiral together.
But we need your help. We’re looking for readers who:
• Are members of the Brazen Belles Facebook group
• Love the Brazen Belles authors
• Enjoy discussing books (not just reading quietly in the dark 
)
• Want to help lead a fun, engaged reading experience
Your role as a readalong leader:
• Read the book
• Create discussion questions and prompts
• Post those prompts on their assigned week
• Chat, discuss, lament, curse, fawn, and generally have fun with fellow readers.
Your perks:
• A free ARC of the book you’re leading.
• Swag from the author.
If you want to be a reader-leader, just fill out the form below!
• You may apply for as many books as you like
• We’ll choose 2–3 leaders per book
• Not everyone will be selected—but we will contact all chosen leaders before the new year
Q: I don’t want to be a readalong leader, can I still participate?
A: Yes. Not only can you participate, but you’re encouraged to. And every participant will enter a monthly giveaway, too! Details about all that later. Right now, we need to pick our leaders. (In the meantime, join our group and familiarize ourself with our fun members)
Q: I want to be a readalong leader, but I don’t know what to do! Will I get guidance?
A: Absolutely! Our lovely admin Estela will guide you through the whole thing.
Q: As a leader, am I required to make graphics?
A: Nope. Unless you want to for fun. Main graphics will be provided for you.
Feel free to ask any other questions! This is the first time we are trying this, so let’s make it fun for everyone together!
You’ll finally be among your people.
P.S. Did I promise a cover reveal at some point? If I did, I apologize for the delay. I just have too many things to tell you! But I promise, it's coming sooooon.
Cheers,
Sadie
