Okay, I’ll admit it. I like the Reformed Rake. I also like the “you were made for me” scenario where the h/h have just been waiting for each other to come along, and when they meet, they know it instantly.

The Reformed Rake might be my favorite. I really have a love for them all, but I think I’m biased because in rl, reformed rakes really do make the best husbands!
