Product Description
From Library Journal
In an effort to frighten his fiancee's parents into allowing an early wedding, Simon Talbott convinces his devilish rakehell cousin, James Faring, the Marquis of Abbonley, to feign an interest in his fiancee, Lady Angelique Graham. The plan, however, works too well, and it takes a bit of doing before all the lovers in the game are properly aligned. Traditional, lighthearted, and predictable, this country Regency features several standards of the subgenre, including an engaging, hoydenish heroine, a reformed rake hero, a heroic rescue, and an aborted trip to Gretna Green. The dialog and relationship between the hero and heroine work, as do some of the secondary characters, including a great lummox of a dog. Enoch is also the author of The Black Duke's Prize (Avon, 1995).

Just Love these Devilish Rakes, Sep 3 2002
By M. Rondeau - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Angel's Devil (Paperback)
This is a light but darling romantic triangle. The very lovely and impatient Angelique Graham just knows she is in love with her darling Simon, but her parents are going to force her to wait nine months before they will even consider announcing the engagement. Enter, Simon's scandalous rake of a cousin the disreputable Lord James Faring who is just home from the continent after a five year absence. He is recovering from wounds received in a war and wounds to his heart, but he is at once entranced with the little 'hoyden' Angelique from the moment they bumped into one another on the London docks.
After she finds out who he is - a plot is hatched to have James make overtures to her in front of her parents so that the parents would be happy to set an earlier date to save her from the clutches of 'the Devil'. As, things will get on, it doesn't take long for the game playing to become serious and Angelique finds out who she truly does love!
A darling story....very hard to come by but well worth the effort. You'll just love all the secondary characters, particulary Angeliques twin siblings - Henry and Helen, and the mastiff Brutus!

SIGH! THIS STORY IS WONDERFUL!, Mar 27 2000
By Sandra K. Shirah "kaliannah.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Angel's Devil (Paperback)
I think I'm living in the wrong era! I absolutely loved this book - the period was described wonderfully - I felt like I was there! Angelique, strong willed and impatient, was denied by her parents the speedy wedding she desperately wanted with her beloved Simon. So she hatches a plan, with the assistance of Simon's cousin ~aka~ The Devil. The Devil relunctanly agrees to pursue Angel in hopes of convincing her parents that a speedy wedding to Simon is the only safe option!
Will this harmless charade backfire on the Devil or the Angel?
