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

Product Information

These two are one of my favorite couples and I look forward to re-reading this book in the near future!

The story, the witty dialogue, the oh-so-complicated hero, the take-no-guff heroine, the whole love/hate thing between the H/h--it was at times funny, sad, frustrating, but there was never a dull moment. I just loved their whole dynamic--how they met, how they wanted each other, how they fought, those sexy Italian phrases he used with Jess, and how they grew to love each other.She told herself she ought not feel in the least surprised that the cocksure clod pole proposed to settle matters by making her his mistress. Their relationship is strained further when a former mistress arrives on the scene with Dain’s illegitimate son. But they are incredibly effective, because of the passion between Jessica and Dain, and the deep caring and love they feel for each other. They get caught in a compromising position at a ball but instead of protecting her honor, Dain just walks away because he thinks she is trying to trap him into marriage just like the other girl.

When writing the novel, Chase knew that her female protagonist had to be strong enough to equal Dain's forceful personality. Jessica Trent arrives in Paris furious and determined to save her silly brother from the clutches of Sebastian Ballister, the Marquess of Dain. I enjoyed how in the story we actually see Dain's progression from a cynical, out-of-control rake to a better man, husband and father who learns how to love. She is fighting her growing desire for the amoral rogue but destiny interferes and has different plans for them. Bertie sees Dain as a hero and tried to emulate all of his bad habits, to the point of financial ruin of his family.

Aunque aquí ponga que es la segunda lectura, realmente ha sido la cuarta o la quinta y creo que ha sido la lectura que más he disfrutado.
