Lord of Scoundrels: 3 (The Scoundrels Series, 3)

Product Information

Now known as Lord Dain, he held quite a bit of influence over Bertie Trent, Jessica’s brother, and was driving him to ruin. There's a statement made by Jessica where she thinks or says she cannot resist him, and he is baffled that she would feel that way, used to being considered ugly as sin. In doing so, Dain finally accepts Jessica’s love for him and this allows him to express his own love and need for her. The lady of the house smiles while listening to the boy’s funny little antics about his whore of a mother having sex with her husband in their bed.

I did find the beginning to be a little slow, but as soon as Dain and Jessica had their first meeting, I was hooked. Near the end of the story, Jessica is the one who initiates consummation of their marriage, by seducing Dain. But how can you just do this big jump start all at once, even thou it changes all your former beliefs?

The story had me engrossed from the first page to the last and I appreciated Chase’s wit and pace which was quick and smart throughout. These two are one of my favorite couples and I look forward to re-reading this book in the near future! It started off really well - from the first time they met and how she struck him dumb with her repartee! This is where Jessica steps in and tries to save her brother, and in the process finds that there is much more to Lord Dain than meets the eye. He had spent most of his short life being ignored when all children should be loved and adored and worshipped as the gift they are.

In a 2010 list of "must-reads in romance" for Kirkus Reviews, Sarah Wendell deemed it her favorite historical romance and believed her successful recommendation to a male professor proved its worth.Now I feel like I kicked a puppy because everybody told me to read this book and that it would be wonderful.
