title: The Rake's Handbook: Including Field Guide
author:  Sally Orr 
description: "Orr debuts with a charming romp. The witty repartee and naughty innuendos set the perfect pitch for the entertaining romance. Though there are serious themes and carefully researched historical details, it's the banter and sensuality that are sure to enchant readers." - <strong><em> RT Book Reviews, 4 stars</em></strong><br /><br />"The HEA will conquer in the end. Quite the fun road to it." - <strong><em> Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell</em></strong><br /><br />"Orr had me laughing out loud throughout the story and I'm looking forward to reading about the other two authors of The <i>Rake's Handbook</i>!" - <strong><em> Historical Romance Lover</em></strong><br /><br />"Author Sally Orr's THE RAKE'S HANDBOOK: INCLUDING FIELD GUIDE is a hoot. It is a laugh a minute. " - <strong><em> Romance Junkies</em></strong><br /><br />"A good read... The dialogue was witty and the entire story flowed at an easy pace." - <strong><em> The Romance Reviews</em></strong><br /><br />"The <i>Rake's Handbook</i> was a lovely historical romance." - <strong><em> Imagine a World</em></strong><br /><br />"Light-hearted, highly entertaining and fast paced romance... This one will have you grinning and laughing from page one to the last." - <strong><em> Bookworm 2 Bookworm</em></strong><br /><br />"The Rake's Handbook: Including Field Guide was a quirky but steamy historical romance... very entertaining with marvelously spirited interactions between Elinor and Ross." - <strong><em> Tome Tender</em></strong><br /><br />"The Rake's Handbook, the first novel in a series by Sally Orr, explores the possibility of romance between Ross and Elinor with humor and sincerity, and it is very easy to care about both characters. " - <strong><em> Buried Under Romance</em></strong><br /><br />"Sally Orr has a lively way of writing and the scenes she creates are great fun." - <strong><em> Sonya's Stuff</em></strong>
