Publisher's Summary:

The Duke of Ainswood, Vere Mallory - the last of the infamous Mallory hellions - lives a charmed life: he's rich, titled, and exceedingly handsome. And he's seemingly bent on throwing it all away in his reckless race toward self-destruction, until a devastatingly beautiful blonde amazon literally knocks him off his feet.

Lydia Grenville has devoted herself to protecting London's less fortunate. She has no patience for dissolute aristocrats and would like nothing more than to get his big, strong, handsome carcass out of her path so she can continue her work. But Ainswood could never resist a challenge - especially in female form - or trouble, which seems to follow Lydia like a stray puppy. When real trouble appears it's all or nothing for the duke and his annoyingly headstrong female!

"I want a love that feels like a dream"

A VERY well written book and very engaging storyline. Characters are very well developed and the story is well thought out. I liked everything about it. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because as good as the book was it was just not what I give a 5 star for. I give 5 stars to the ones I spend every minute of my life I can spare listening to. I even cut from sleep to know what happens next. This however was an excellent book.

More scoundrels

Any additional comments?

Just a quick note to say that this wonderful book is more wonderful because Dane and Jessica play a part in it. I wondered about that when I considered ordering it, so others might wonder as well.

Sensual transformation.....loved it!

Second best book in the series. More comparable to The Lord of Scoundrels...but not quite there but so dang close. Way better than book 1 and 2. I felt like 3 and 4 were in a class of their own.

It is amazing how Chase can make us love a previously hated character. Ainswood is wonderful. Lydia and Ainswood's banter makes the story so fun and interesting. Lydia is a great heroine....perfect combo of beauty and strength....independent but not off putting.

Loved Susan. Could not get enough of the way Ainswood spoke to Susan.

Had trouble understanding the time line with book 2, but I don't guess it mattered much....just odd and it made no difference in the grand scheme of things.

I didn't want it to end. Seriously credit worthy...but must read AFTER Lord of Scoundrels.

One of the best in the Genre

5/5; 5 stars; A+

Since I listened to Lord of Scoundrels last week I thought I'd go dig up the rest of my Loretta Chase books. I read this and then, recently, when I saw it available on Audible, I listened to it. I am so glad that this book is available at Audible. It has long been one of my favorite historical romance books but with the addition of Kate Reading as a narrator, it becomes even better.

I really enjoyed the role Lydia Grenville played in this story. Some authors can portray the bluestocking as a bit of a harridan. Not so, here. As a Journalist, she was in a very unconventional profession for the time but she approached it with courage and dignity. She was devoted to her 'cause' but was funny and kindhearted as well as incredibly determined. Her sidekick, the Mastiff, Susan, really added a lot to the story for me.

So, Vere Mallory, the Duke of Ainswood.
