Description
She’s written a mega-bestseller. But when her hero springs off the page, will it end with happily-ever-after?
Regency Romance author Catherine Paige pours her heartbreak into her passionate pages. Recovering from a brutal breakup and with her next book’s deadline looming, she writes her ex into her narrative and hopefully out of her mind. But instead of being “the end,” his fictionalized alter-ego takes a magical leap out of her manuscript and into the real world.
Daniel Lockhart has spent his whole life looking for an easy jackpot. So when he’s pulled into a strange new future, he’s determined to stack the deck in his favor and charm his way to the top. And even a pretty lady who claims she can help him will not convince him to change his scoundrel ways.
Frustrated that the man before her is still a work-in-progress, Catherine endeavors to guide him to the grand finale she penned. But as Daniel veers wildly off script, they both realize they’ve got to read between the lines to heal their own stories.
Can Catherine and Daniel turn their tales of woe into a truly fulfilling, happy ending?

I love time-travel books but this one was a novel take on this genre. ‘The Novelist’s Rake’ follows regency romance author Catherine Paige who has written a novel after her breakup with her boyfriend. She creates Daniel Lockhard, who turns into everyone’s romantic male. It is only after a book signing that Daniel actually walks into her life. Confused by what is happening, Catherine begins to question whether Daniel is for real, or whether he will disappear at any moment. Daniel is blissfully unaware of how he has landed in the 21st century, but finds himself enthralled by Catherine, a woman who looks very similar to a woman he left behind in Regency London.
This was such a delightful story that I read it in one sitting. I was so captivated by this novel storyline, Daniel was so much the perfect male that I even found myself enthralled, as Catherine appears to do. This was such a whirlwind of a story that I found myself smiling throughout. Daniel and Catherine’s romance was electric. Ava Douglan, a combination of authors, are on my list of authors to watch as they had me entertained throughout. A must read!
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
