Mass Market Paperback, 375 pages
Published
January 1995
by Avon Books
Genre: historical romance novel
Rating: 5 stars
Of all the romance novels
inspired by the timeless fairytale of
Beauty and the Beast, Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase is probably one of
the best ones, my favorite anyway. What I loved the most about it is the
strength and the vulnerability of the protagonists (polar opposites in
personality and physical look), the way they wonderfully match and complement
each other, the mutual trust they struggle to achieve and when they finally
do…well, it’s heaven.
Sebastian Marquess of Dain,
notorious, brutish, arrogant, devilish, wounded and scarred at the age of eight
by the loss of his mother, by the cold and cruel upbringing of his father and
by the bullying he had to suffer in school because of his “not exactly handsome”
looks, is attracted by Jessica’s clean innocence and determination, smart brain
and delicate beauty. Jessica Trent , headstrong and independent, beautiful and
ladylike, is charmed by his virility and strength, but most of all she can
sense his incredibly deep and repressed need for love and acceptance.
Witty dialogues, steamy love
scenes, great romantic tension, heart-wrenching plot…you couldn’t ask for more.
Extremely enjoyable reading!
