Would I Lie to the Duke

My Fake Rake is a feast of female empowerment, positive friendships, feel-good moments, and social satire. And as the first book in a series, it builds a delicious world you'll want to come back to -- hopefully because the delightful supporting characters will get their own stories next. -- NPR for My Fake Rake divinely charming... Grace and Sebastian are the two of the most glorious dummies ever to grace the pages of a romance novel... The makeover trope is one of the more tired and problematic of the rom-com genre, but Leigh ingeniously turns it on its head, swapping the genders and making Sebastian's transformation more about social commentary than anything else... our love for these two romantic dunces and their satirical, slow-burn, sexy ruse is nothing but genuine. -- Entertainment Weekly for My Fake Rake This superbly entertaining, perfectly executed Regency-set love story is not only dazzlingly witty and intensely sexy; it is also a sweetly crafted love letter about the power of learning, literature, and lifelong friendships. -- Booklist (starred review) Grace and Seb are delightful together, and Seb is a breath of non-alpha-hero fresh air... satisfying for readers of Courtney Milan and Tessa Dare. A sweet faux suitor romance between two scientist friends who find a new passion in one another. -- Kirkus Reviews In this first book of her new Union of the Rakes series, Leigh adopts the fake dating trope to the Regency Era in a wildly fun and entertaining way, introducing characters who are sure to delight fans of this beloved genre. -- Library Journal charming... The plot is as well developed as the lovers' growing feelings. Readers will delight in this heartfelt, swoon-worthy tale. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Eva Leigh puts inspiring, forthright female characters at the forefront of her delectable romances... with down-to-earth characters and an enthralling friends-to-lovers storyline, My Fake Rake is a hard one to put down. -- BookPage.com This book is so good!

Leigh makes a strong case for their compatibility as Noel learns to open his heart and Jessica learns her own lesson about trust. Readers will delight in this fun, fresh Regency. -- Publishers Weekly There are well-rounded characters, drama and some impish fun--one man pitches what sounds very much like an impractical version of Twitter--but the satisfying sense of female empowerment makes this a standout. -- Bookpage (Starred Review) A duke who has no problem taking a more submissive role and an intelligent woman determined not to fail make an exquisite match in this second spicy, delectable tale... Regency fans will savor and want more. -- Library Journal (starred review) Everything I look for in a historical romance and much more. The characters in WOULD I LIE TO THE DUKE are realistically flawed but equally entertaining and engaging. This story never lets you down. -- Fresh Fiction
