Taming of the Rake by Victoria Vale

This is the fourth book in The Gentleman Courtesans series by Victoria Vale.  Each book is written as a standalone, however, you should start with the first book so you 

David Graham is a true lover of women.  He thoroughly enjoys being a Gentleman Courtesan.  When he has to return home after the death of his father he discovers a crumbling estate and a huge cash flow problem due to embezzlement.  Benedict offers him a contract with a widow close to his home.  Regina Hurst is a recent widow who had a miserable marriage.  When her husband was on his death bed, she wasn't even sure if she would even get her widows portion.  She hires a Courtesan so she can finally have a baby.  

I loved the relationship between David and Regina.  It is wonderful when a rake finds his true love and falls hard.  The story is fast paced and the characters are real.  I like that the characters from previous books are incorporated.  It feels like you are meeting old friends.  This book is sizzling.
