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

Product Information

Unloved by his father and told that his mother is an "evil, godless creature", [3] Sebastian is sent off to Eton where he is teased by his classmates over his appearance.

From the beginning I could see them both clearly in my minds eye and felt, through clever writing by the author, their attraction to each other (even if neither of them actually wanted to feel anything) and a good picture of the people they were mixing with and the places they were situated in. If you haven't read a historical in a while, you can't go wrong with this one--I urge anyone to try it. He is half Italian, so he has a big nose and a very awkward body as a child for which he is tormented mercilessly while at Eton, where his dad sent him when he was eight. It feels so modern in its tone, character and stories – it’s like something you’d find in a Sarah MacLean or Tessa Dare novel publishing today.The two exchange wits; Jessica requests that Dain send her brother back to England in exchange for a valuable religious icon she will sell him, while Dain wants the icon or else he will destroy her reputation and ruin her brother. But they are incredibly effective, because of the passion between Jessica and Dain, and the deep caring and love they feel for each other. 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. Además, me gustó mucho el estilo de Loretta Chase (me recordó al de Lisa Kleypas de quien es, ni más ni menos, la recomendación a la que me refiero en el reto).

Romantic fiction scholars have identified Jessica Trent as a "feminist heroine" with whom the "alpha male hero" has met his match. The romance was understated, fraught with difficulties, which made it all the more believably romantic. 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.

Hormonally speaking there is nothing that can really pinpoint a man's superior need for sexual release. The hilarious enjoying story about Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Dain and Lady Jessica Trent. He consciously uses his monstrousness in the same way he uses his vast wealth and his social position: to control his world and protect himself. I’m trying to be more frugal with my book spending, so leaving it behind was probably the right choice (even if it is so pretty!
