REVIEW

From a Scoundrel with Love

Great way to read favorite authors and find new writers that you will want to read again. This anthology of stories containing 1000 pages has only one author that I know well so reading all of the others will add to my author list, I am sure.

THE PIRATE’S DUCHESS by Katherine Bone, first in the book, has a villain to be thwarted and a husband and wife reunited, a happy ending and a hint of a romance that might take place in an upcoming book by Ms. Bone.

THE BRUNETTE WHO STOLE HIS HEART by Tabetha Waite, was the second book I read. A lady’s maid and valet are talked into standing in for their employers. A lovely story and a new author that I will read again.

CHASING THE DUKE by Tracy Sumner, is the story I had to read first as she is one of my favorite writers. This story is about a woman who has promised herself that she will NOT chase her brother’s best friend, the person she had a childhood crush on for so many years, but what happens if he chases her? I knew I would enjoy this story and was so glad that I did.

I look forward to reading and getting to know the other six authors soon.

Thank you to BookSirens and the authors for the ARC – This is my honest review.

This book slowly grew on me as I was reading. It took me a while to get used to the writing and to let go of my preconceived notions about what I thought the plot was going to be.

What I liked was that this book wasn't a happy-go-lucky romance. It deals with some serious issues and is realistic when it comes to the romance. But at the same time, it's hard to read because both characters aren't in a happy place in their lives, which gives the book a depressing tone.

The last quarter of the book was the strongest part for me and I wish it was introduced earlier in the story. It was more of what I thought the book was going to be and I just loved the character growth that happened during those plot events.

I'm looking forward to seeing what is in story for the next two leads in the second book because I still have a lot of unanswered questions with those two.
