Lord of Scoundrels: 3 (The Scoundrels Series)

Thank You Corina for reminding me about this book that has been in my TBR for ages.Surely, there would be reason why a book would occupy many “Best of” recommendations in almost all the lists by crazy bookworms. Hold your stiches, (is there a saying like that, I wonder🤔) no really, this book makes you laugh, outright guffaws that makes your family ponder if you have really lost it, finally becoming cross-eyed reading too much.The Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase is a book that I will surely go back to read again and again whenever am at my lowest. I have Julie Garwood’s couple of historical romances for the same purpose and this will definitely be added to that.Jessica Trent and Lord Dain are such a perfect match that with the quips and wisecrack repartees that they both indulge in; the house should have been on fire. I loved how the author has shown Jess as this extremely strong and willful woman not ready to give an inch for what she believes in and definitely knows how to handle misbehaved boys and even crazy thieves. Of course, there were times when I wanted to throw something at Dain for his thick headedness for mostly behaving like a spoilt brute even with an explanation, his antics are merely obtuseness rather than pride. There’s a peculiar charm to this love story of a beauty and a beast.For the few hours of pure fun and immense joy that this story gave me, I am going with 5 stars.

Easy breezy read light fun reading

There is a lot of 5 star hype surrounding this book on Amazon.com, and it is well deserved.The writing is beautiful, light, and easy to read. There are many laugh-out-loud moments. The story is cleverly done. I was very impressed.What a complicated man the hero, Dain, is. I ached for him. And I wanted to smack him. Jessica is very insightful and the perfect balance to shake up his world, for the better.I never thought a scene with just a man and a brick wall would melt my heart. I loved that such a simple thing could move me so deeply.This book was written in 1994 according to my ebook version. Wow, I can’t believe it took more than 20 years to come to my attention! This was my first Loretta Chase novel and I know it won’t be the last if this is typical of her writing.

Fabulous! One the best books I've read-and I've read it 3 times now. And I know this is one book I will return to again and again and again.

First book by the Loretta chase, and I didn't like it much. Language was a bit of issue moreover I feel the story is a drag.

Nice

Desde seu lançamento em 2009, Lord of Scoundrels já constou merecidamente em diversas listas de melhores romances.A estória parte da sofrida infância do personagem principal, o Marquês Sebastian Dain, passa pela sua adolescência marcada pela rejeição paterna e o bulling dos colegas de colégio e chega na vida adulta, marcada pelos traumas do passado e o comportamento desregrado e muitas vezes violento. Já adulto, aos 33 anos, Sebastian irá conhecer a bela, inteligente, corajosa (e solteirona para os padrões da época) Jessica que o desafia e encanta a cada encontro.A trama emocionante e com várias surpresas, os personagens apaixonantes, os diálogos ágeis e o ritmo construído com sabedoria sãos os maiores atrativos deste belo romance. A autora, com talento, alterna momentos emocionantes com outros mais leves. A introdução de um segundo conflito na segunda metade do romance trouxe ainda mais emoção a estória.Aqui nada falta: o herói canalha luta e alcança sua redenção e o amor de sua marquesa. Tem grandes gestos e ótimos personagens, a receita certa para diversão garantida com emoção de sobra.Imperdível para qualquer leitor que aprecie um romance bem construído.

Jessica is a 28 year old spinster: a happy spinster. Dain is a Marquess with a vile temper who is often called Beelzebub.. And when they get together sparks fly. There are many parts in this story where I laughed out load. A great read and fun.

The characters don't mat h the time period a d story ends with every deep problem just magically fixing itself

Second time reading this baby and oh man, definitely one of my all time faves. Dain and Jess are one of those couples that you keep coming back to.The chemistry, the banter, the pet names, gahhh it’s too much. One of my favourite things about this book is that although a “lady”, Jess is not stifled by the same decorum and rules as the rest of the ton. She speaks her mind, she doesn’t play ignorant about delicate matters and she admits her interest Dain almost the instant she feels it.In return, Dain just can’t control himself around her and it’s…delicious.Definitely will be reading this again and again over the years

El libro ya lo había leído en ebook y es uno de mis favoritos, así que cuando lo vi de segunda mano a buen precio tuve que comprarlo. La edición en papel es tal y como la describe el vendedor, con ligeros signos de uso y el lomo con marcas de haber sido leído, pero por lo demás, está todo bastante bien. Estoy muy satisfecha con la compra y más por tener esta joyita
