About this eBook
The series of four friends united by power, privilege and the daring pursuit of passion comes to “a deeply romantic and satisfying end” (All About Romance).
The courtesan’s courtship . . .
Pursuing a role in Parliament, Christopher Lattimar needs a virtuous marriage to make society overlook his roguish past. When beautiful and disarming Ellie Parmenter offers to reform and refine him, he’s too tempted to say no.
Once a courtesan, Ellie knows a thing or two about polishing a diamond in the rough. She has no designs on Christopher—or any man in search of a wife—but their best-laid plans begin to tumble once lessons in respectability turn to seduction . . .
“A terrific love story, defying proper society and its staid rules. All the Hellions have found their HEA and not a single one of them were conventional, with each man standing up to society’s norms and expectations to right wrongs and overcome unreasonable barriers . . . Julia keeps the storyline fresh and interesting without compromising the genre!” —The Book Review

I did not want to put this story down. Ellie and Christopher took a chance on their friendship to help each other out despite their different circumstances. It was a fast paced read that kept my attention, and I enjoyed meeting the other characters from the previous Hadley's Hellions. I received a copy of this story as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.

I absolutely loved this story! Secret Lessons with the Rake is the final book in Julia Justiss' Hadley's Hellions series and these rakish heroes are going to be missed. Christopher Lattimar is pursuing a major role in Parliament, but his past is something that society can't soon forget so finding a wife is his first order of business. Ellie Parmenter who was once a courtesan has decided to help Christopher out by giving him lessons in order to polish and refine him, but it soon becomes apparent that their attraction for one anther is going throw their plans off course. I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
About the author
Long before embarking on romantic adventures of her own, Julia Justiss read about them, transporting herself to such favourite venues as ancient Egypt, World War II submarine patrols, the Old South and, of course, Regency England. Soon she was keeping notebooks for jotting down story ideas. When not writing or traveling, she enjoys watching movies, reading and puttering about in the garden trying to kill off more weeds than flowers.
