TAKEN : The Rake And The Recluse :
Part Three
A woman out of time.
A man stifled by propriety.
A nemesis determined to take her
away.
A brother to the rescue.
How will a powerful Duke deal with
a woman who doesn't know her place? How will a woman used to the 21st century
survive in time where she is considered property?
THE RAKE AND THE RECLUSE Part THREE
brings Francine and Gideon closer than they ever imagined possible, until the
unimaginable tears them apart. What will Gideon do if he loses her, this time,
forever? This is the third installment of the completely revised novel, with
all new material.
Francine Larrabee woke up on the
wrong side of the century. She was fairly certain she went to sleep in her own
comfy bed, but she doesn’t quite seem to be there now. Only adding to her
problems is that she has no voice, is constantly being glowered at by a large,
stunning man who is obsessed with propriety, and she is apparently betrothed to
another horrid little man, determined to ruin her, and any other girls that get
in his way.
How does she find herself in the
past, when she couldn’t even find herself in her present? How does a self
sufficient businesswoman survive in a time when women were still considered
property for the whole of their lives and what is she going to do with this man
who draws her to him so fiercely?
If you are not following along with
Jenn LeBlanc’s book, what are you waiting on?!? You have got to read this story!
What can I say about TAKEN,
the third installment of her unique, six book, illustrated romance The Rake and the Recluse serial?
Several things come to mind. Before I start, there is one key suggestion for
enjoying this story to its fullest and that is the books should be read in
order. You cannot just jump into book three and know what is going on, you need
to start at the beginning, because it’s a very good place to start.
Jenn LeBlanc not only draws you
into a well-written story, but she incorporates one of her other passions,
photography into the story. Not only is the story great, she is able to draw on
that photographer’s eye to give such detail in her writing that it is almost
tangible.
In TAKEN, Gideon begins to come
loose of his propriety shell when it comes to Francine. We start to see
glimpses of that ”thing” that his brother Perry, the rake has. Francine, our 21
century, time traveling heroine, tempts Gideon, and herself, looking for the
elusive happiness she has wanted. But
there is trouble far closer than either of them expect…
Perry finds himself as the guardian
of three young ladies, and now starts to appreciate those rules that he so
enjoyed breaking, and I believe he gets a little kick discussing propriety with
Gideon about Francine. Perry hires a tutor and chaperone for his new charges,
and she is definitely a firecracker, keeping the men on their toes.
Jenn has succeeded in turning up
the heat in TAKEN! Every book manages to get a few degrees hotter than the
previous, and this is no exception. A midnight make -out session. a private
dance lesson, not-quite-proper horse rides through the park… Yes, steam is in the pages of this one. The chief
complaint? Being forced to wait for book four, but I am certain it will be
worth it.
So, as I said, “What
are you waiting for”? Get your copy of TAKEN, and be prepared to
be taken on a fun ride!
