I think this is probably my favorite historical romance novel EVER! Not only was the hero fabulous, but so was the heroine--a wonderful balance...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“I really enjoyed this book. It was my first by Mrs Chase, but will not be my last. I love a good book where people are not perfect. I know it's all fantasy, but sometimes I want to hear the less than beautiful women or men with faults can find love too. I also enjoyed how self assured the heroine was. There were several jaw dropping episodes that had me rolling. This book is an example of beauty is on the inside cause the cover was lacking for me.lol”

“I think this book has quite a bit more hype than it actually deserves. While it was entertaining, nothing struck me as being outstanding. The characters are well drawn, but the story feels like it's being told by a narrator. I would have liked to be more immersed in the inner workings of the character's minds. Despite these traits, the story is still engaging. Jessica is a fun character to read about but seems shallow while Dain is deep and more thought provoking. I wish more of the story had been told from his perspective.”

“ I read this early on in my trashy romance phase which is still in full swing. Can't remember the last time I broke into constant giggles reading a romance novel. although I would rather go for a romance about a beta hero and a sassy heroine, I have to admit this one has won top place on my Desert Island Keepers list.

This book is all about the witty dialogue and the obvious sparkles between the two main characters: Lord Dain, the dark and tortured reprobate, with a very low opinion of himself, but who can't help being hopelessly besotted with the "needle-tongued, conceited, provoking ape leader of a lady" and Jessica, the beautiful, strong-minded spinster who, for the first time in her life has fallen in Major lust with a man.The awfully painful childhood Dain had - born with a giant nose and a scrawny body - made him a cynical man who questioned the existence of the Lord above. He learned to protect himself by laughing at his foes and everything else. He even referred to his by-blow as 'it' because the boy is the exact image of himself when he was 8 years old. He's also a "whoremonger" who has sworn never to get involved with a lady. He's big, brutish, and a bully... and Jess is the all too perfect lady who captures the beast's heart.
Captivating verbal fights, the "animal lust" and the deep desire for conquest and possession keep the reader enthralled.
I love romance books, but originality is scarce. In a genre where too many books seem to blend together until I can hardly tell them apart, LORD OF SCOUNDRELS is a true original. not that my review managed to illustrate any of the original bits, i'll give you that...

“as lovely as a romance novel can get.”

“At first, I didn't understand this book (I hadn't read it in my mother language). After, when I began to familiar with author's style, I loved it. As I think, this isn't motif Beauty and The Beast at all, cause I've never thought Dain were ugly. Well, Jessica Trent is one of the courage and sharp heroine I've met.”
