Rakehell was the Regency term for a man of daring, who was also a ladies’ man and with a devil-may-care attitude regarding what the rest of Society thought about him.

The Rakehells are a group of school friends from Eton and Oxford, who play fair, but very much by their own rules in a society rapidly changing due to modernization, power politics, and the war.

From many different walks of life, and with all sorts of adventures befalling them, every one of the Rakehells, and their extended family circle, will find true love amid the backdrop of the late Napoleonic Wars, and the end of George III’s reign.

The Rakehell Regency Series is a bit more gritty, and more sensual, than the usual Regency, but also completely historically accurate for the period.

There is some comedy of manners, capturing the life andd concerns of the period, with liberal dashes of suspense and sensuality. It’s what Jane Austen would have written if only she had dared….

The Rakehell Regency series novels are each standalones, powerful, often sensual or even erotic romances, with remarkable characters facing seemingly insurmountable odds. They can be enjoyed singly, or read in order.

The Regency Period, which runs nearly parallel to the Napoleonic Wars, is the beginning of the modern world as we know it. It was a time of revolution and the old world order being torn apart: what a remarkable time to fall in love.

Napoleon Bonaparte was a Corsican who hated France, but went to live there in order to further his personal ambitions. From a humble artillery sergeant, he emerged from the turmoil of the French Revolution to become the ruler of half of the known world.

The Napoleonic Period spans roughly 1797 to 1815, with his final defeat at Waterloo. The hostilities between France and various other nations was intermittent, but one thing was clear: England was the only country to consistently remain at war with France throughout this period.

While Napoleon was able to win stunning victories against all of the other European nations, the English not only held, their own, their heroic efforts in “The Peninsular War,” from 1808 until 1814, to take back Portugal and Spain and eventually invade the South of France, was a monumental achievement that could only have been engineered by one man: Sir Arthur Wellesley, later known as The Duke of Wellington.

All of the Napoleonic War novels here at HerStory Books are based upon the eyewitness accounts of the time. Gripping, suspenseful, and sexy, they embody what makes an historical romance great.
