Summary
Marius Valstar doesn’t know which is worse: the dead body in his greenhouse or the naked fae prince on his desk.
The only rakes of interest to Marius are garden tools, not fae princes. Certainly not the arrogant, selfish fae prince he has the misfortune to have a history with.
But when Prince Rakken turns up naked and bleeding in Marius’s college the same day a body appears in his greenhouse, scruples must take second place to solving a murder that could unravel the delicate balance between humans and fae.
Marius’s own developing magical powers are more hindrance than help, as is Rakken’s bloodied past. Forced to work together, they must forge an uneasy alliance if they are to track down the killer. But how can Marius trust the man who represents everything he’s trying to avoid?
A Rake of His Own is a steamy m/m gaslamp fantasy featuring a melodramatic fae prince, a beleaguered botanist, and a second-chance enemies-to-lovers romance. It occurs chronologically after the events of The Stariel Quartet, but can be listened to as a standalone.

Excellent
I enjoyed this book immensely, the story was great, performance top notch and I’m a sucker for a happy ending! I’m so glad the author continued the relationship between rake and Marius. Fair warning though, this book gets steamy! But it only adds to the plot rather than just being included for the sake of it.
I’m really glad the author chose to focus on another character as well as the woman who narrated book 4 of the series did a terrible job. Really recommend this one though! X

Fabulous! Excellent narrator
I have read and listened to the other 4 books in this world. I loved them all! I am glad to say, this book does not disappoint.
Beautifully written believable adult romance with a suspense plot thrown in. The narrator does the story justice. Well defined characters. There is nothing to dislike - unless you don't like fantasy, gaslamp romance. Definitely, up for listening again and again ...

Obsessed with this series!
I loved this book. if you're a fan of the others in the series then this will not disappoint! I wasn't sure how I'd take to it if it wasn't Hetta as the lead but Rake and Marius are just fantastic characters. I laughed and totally fell in love with them. A very enjoyable listen and jam-packed story, just like the others in the series. I so hope we get some more!

Good to hear Marius and Rake’s story
I did enjoy the book but didn’t see the need for such detailed sex scenes as this wasn’t the case in the other books and not the genre I thought I was reading! I also felt a bit cheated out of Hetta’s story of having the twins and her and Wynn as new parents but maybe this will be in the next book? Overall another good Stariel story.

Fabulous story and narration
I particularly enjoyed the Stariel quartet, and this was a fitting wind up - although I do hope there will be more! The characters are well-rounded, and once again the author has created a world that is just far enough away from ours to be different, yet believable. The narration of Rake and Marius is superb.

I really enjoyed this
The first three books i listened to and got sucked in and listened at any opportunity. I don’t usually like a spin off or novella but this was great. Who knew I was so sappy at heart, but it it did warm mine 👌🏻

Great heart-warming story very well narrated
I had already read the book but enjoyed it so much I couldn’t resist getting the audible too!
The narration added another dimension to this romantic, sexy and magical story between Raken and Marius Valstar. It helps if you’ve read or listened to the previous trilogy of Win and Hester (which I also highly recommend) but you don’t need to have done, to enjoy this. I loved the characters and totally fell in love with Raken too- such a wonderful combination of arrogance, intelligence, vulnerability and sensitivity. Can’t wait for the next one in the series.

Loved the book
I really hope that there is another book in the series. The sort of book that you don’t want to end
