Eva Leigh is a romance author who has always loved the Regency era. She writes novels chock-full of determined women and sexy men. She enjoys baking, spending too much time on the Internet, and listening to music from the ’80s. Eva and her husband live in Central California.
“there’s just something about the way [Leigh] structures her plots
that slips under my skin and gets my mental wheels turning every
time...”
*Seattle Review of Books*
“Every now and then, you discover a new (or at least, new-to-you)
author who leaves you a little sunstruck... I was dazzled.”
*Lisa Kleypas for Powell’s “Lisa Kleypas Recommends” column-
Forever Your Earl*
“Leigh consistently crafts whip-smart heroines and irresistible
heroes delivered in packages bursting with wicked wit, feminist
leanings, and sex positivity... For any who question whether
historical romance is outdated or can be feminist, look no further
than Eva Leigh’s work – while maintaining assiduous historical
accuracy, she delivers intoxicating yarns that bulldoze tropes and
flip gender expectations on their head.”
*Entertainment Weekly*
“Is there anyone better at twisting the tropes of historical
romance than Leigh? [...] it will all be very hot and smart and
snarky and I can’t wait.”
*BookPage.com (Most Anticipated Romances of Fall 2019)*
"Grace and Seb are delightful together, and Seb is a breath of
non-alpha-hero fresh air... satisfying for readers of Courtney
Milan and Tessa Dare. A sweet faux suitor romance between two
scientist friends who find a new passion in one another."
*Kirkus Reviews*
"charming... The plot is as well developed as the lovers’
growing feelings. Readers will delight in this heartfelt,
swoon-worthy tale."
*Publishers Weekly (starred review)*
"In this first book of her new “Union of the Rakes” series, Leigh
adopts the fake dating trope to the Regency Era in a wildly fun and
entertaining way, introducing characters who are sure to delight
fans of this beloved genre."
*Library Journal*
"This superbly entertaining, perfectly executed Regency-set love
story is not only dazzlingly witty and intensely sexy; it is also a
sweetly crafted love letter about the power of learning,
literature, and lifelong friendships."
*Booklist (starred review)*
"This book is totally charming."
*Cat Sebastian, author of A Delicate Deception*
"My Fake Rake is a feast of female empowerment, positive
friendships, feel-good moments, and social satire. And as the first
book in a series, it builds a delicious world you'll want to come
back to — hopefully because the delightful supporting characters
will get their own stories next."
*NPR*
“divinely charming... Grace and Sebastian are the two of the
most glorious dummies ever to grace the pages of a romance
novel... The makeover trope is one of the more tired and
problematic of the rom-com genre, but Leigh ingeniously turns it on
its head, swapping the genders and making Sebastian’s
transformation more about social commentary than anything else...
our love for these two romantic dunces and their satirical,
slow-burn, sexy ruse is nothing but genuine.”
*Entertainment Weekly *
“This book is so good! Dorks + rake makeover + kissing =
DELICIOUSNESS. Run to read it!!”
*Joanna Shupe, author of The Prince of Broadway*
"Eva Leigh puts inspiring, forthright female characters at the
forefront of her delectable romances... with down-to-earth
characters and an enthralling friends-to-lovers storyline, My
Fake Rake is a hard one to put down."
