It Takes a Hero

Written by Elizabeth Boyle

Narrated by Susan Duerden

Rebecca will have to take a page from her own book to keep the dashing Rafe Danvers from spoiling her success.

But how does one play hard-to-get with a man one cannot resist?

Rebecca Tate never intended to cause a revolution with her notoriously popular Miss Darby novels, merely to earn enough to support herself and her ailing uncle. But now it seems every eligible debutante in London is emulating her spunky heroine and refusing to marry . . . ever! Still, Rebecca's enjoying her newfound success as Miss Darby's anonymous creator, and she's not about to let anyone interfere-not even the rakishly appealing Raphael Danvers.

Having survived the perils of war and espionage, Rafe is less than thrilled by a disgruntled society matron's wish that he unmask the unknown author and halt the scandalous scribblings. The assignment becomes more attractive, however, when the trail leads to the enticing Miss Tate. Suddenly the dashing adventurer can't get enough of the charming troublemaker-and her resorting to some rather Darbyesque trickery to distract him serves only to intensify his desire. But will a rogue's determined pursuit result in a happy romantic ending . . . or lead them both into a dangerous intrigue?

Reviews for It Takes a Hero

[NNEAMAKA PAYNE · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book was a lot of fun. Our heroine writes borderline scandalous novels for ladies, and in her most recent novel, her heroine's love interest is tragically killed and so the subject of the book declares she will never marry. All of the young ladies of the ton, who follow these books almost religiously, make the same vow never to marry, which of course upsets their mothers. One of those mothers hires our hero, who works as sort of a private investigator, to find the author of these books and convince them to stop writing. I really liked a lot of the characters in this story, and the plot was pretty funny - the only thing that really threw me off was the fact that I think I've missed out by not reading any of the previous books in the Danvers series, because people kept alluding back to the hero's brothers. Also, the sex scenes are that bad, just making the lady look more desperate for the man. When she has everything going for her and she is stronger than that. For a lady that has her own character and can handle her life better.
