Romance in a book (usually a landmark), where does the term "rake" comes?
I have read some books on romance recent history (written about the early 1800s) and some of them refer to some men as "rakes" I'm English and the best I can get to the case of men who have a history of many women, not wanting to settle OT, etc. Am I right? "Where or what does the term arising exactly?
Yes, a rake is often defined as a man who is habituated to immoral conduct. Often a rake is a man who wastes his (usually inherited) fortune in the game, wine, women and song, incurring lavish debts in the process. They are sometimes also called CADS. The word was used much during the Restoration, English (around 1660 to 1690) to the courtiers of Charles II's descriptor. It was then continued to be used later.

It is this original interest in writing that made her stand out as a person who could become an author. Her Professor at the University of Florida noticed this gift in her and told her exactly this. She wanted to have a back up plan just in case she did not make it in writing and, she decided to undertake a degree in applied mathematics. She continued to attain masters in theoretical mathematics. She took a job as a teacher and, it was until later that she switched to writing. She started with non fiction articles which were published by parenting magazines and others. Historical romance authors have to go through certain challenges and Judith was no exception.
She had to take her first novel to 12 different publishers before she was approved. Her first book was 'starlit surrender'.
