She will give it to him if he will just kick her brother out of his debauched circle of buddies, but unfortunately, Dain sees this as a challenge to his pride. When Dain and Jess find themselves fighting over a rare painting, sparks fly. What is a lady to do in the face of a stupid brother’s folly that threatens to drag her down with him?Ĭonfront the source of his brother’s idiocy, that’s what. The nitwit has got himself deep into debts trying to live the lifestyle of his new idol Sebastian Ballister, the Marquess of Dain. The story begins with Jessica Trent charging up like the Amazonian she is into her silly brother Bertie’s Parisian apartment. Not an easy task, but she succeeded amazingly. In short, Ms Chase has managed to balance humor with poignancy. This is a funny memorable story that manages to portray a complicated, complex hero at the same time. It’s Beauty and the Beast with the charm factor cranked up ten times. Well, it isn’t perfect (which book is?) but it is a wonderful story. Loretta Chase’s Lord of Scoundrels is hailed by many readers as the perfect Regency historical romance.
