Best Romance Novels Part 7

Currently on on my iPod: Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga


Okay, so I've been a bit slack lately in my quest to research the best romance novels of all time. I've been reading, but I'm getting side-tracked by other things. It's a very hectic time for me right now.

Well, the latest book I've read in my 'investigation' is Loretta Chase's Lord of Scoundrels. I'm actually ashamed to say I've never read a Loretta Chase novel, and I'm appalled that I've waited so long to so, as she is BRILLIANT.

Lord of Scoundrels had me laughing and completely hooked from the beginning to the end. Every aspect of this novel appealed to me, from the characters to the dialogue (which is witty and sharp). The hero is sinful and described in very unflattering terms, but the heroine sees beyond this and can't help falling for 'the Devil's spawn'. The heroine is very funny, and possesses the strength of character to make this bad boy fall hard... and boy, does he fall!

It is, without a doubt, one of the best romance novels I've ever read. It was so good that I went and ordered about half a dozen other Loretta Chase novels to discover other characters she's created. I've already read Don't Tempt Me, which is excellent, and I'm in the process of reading Your Scandalous Ways, which is also very good. She is a fantastic author, and I'd have to say she's now on my list of all-time fave romance authors.

If you haven't checked out Lord of Scoundrels, you MUST grab a copy. It's a keeper, without a doubt.

Until next time,


Mon

AJ, the hero is flawed and so cynical. The heroine is delightful (I have a hard time liking some heroines, but she's fantastic). A must read!!

Hope you're well and we get to chat soon,
