The Perks of Loving a Scoundrel


25980816

Today’s post is on The Perks of Loving a Scoundrel by Jennifer McQuiston. It is the third in her Seduction Diaries. It is 384 pages long and is published by Avon Books. The cover has the main character with her back to the reader as her dress is slipping off her shoulders. The intended reader is someone likes historical romances. There is mild foul language, sex, and mild violence in this book. The story is told from third person close of the two main characters moving from one to the other as the story goes. There Be Spoilers Ahead.


From the back of the book- Every girl dreams of a hero . . .
No one loves books more than Miss Mary Channing. Perhaps that’s why she’s reached the ripe old age of six-and-twenty without ever being kissed. Her future may be as bland as milk toast, but Mary is content to simply dream about the heroes and adventures she reads about in her books. That way she won’t end up with a villain instead.
But sometimes only a scoundrel will do.
When she unexpectedly finds herself in the arms of Geoffrey Westmore, London’s most notorious scoundrel, it feels a bit like a plot from one of her favorite novels. Suddenly, Mary understands why even the smartest heroines can fall prey to a handsome face. And Westmore is more handsome than most. But far worse than the damage to her reputation, the moment’s indiscretion uncovers an assassination plot that reaches to the highest levels of society and threatens the course of the entire country.
When a tight-laced miss and a scoundrel of epic proportions put their minds together, nothing can stand in their way. But unless they put their hearts together as well, a happy ending is anything but assured.


Review- A cute and quick read between two character who have more in common than they originally thought. It is the third in a series but you do not have to read the first two to understand the plot. Mary and Westmore are really good for each other and for this plot they only have each other. Mary has a wild imagination and deep tragedy in her past; Westmore has traumatic past himself and is prankster to boot. So when they overhear a plot to kill the Queen no one believes them, leaving them with no choice but to stop it themselves. Of course they have an attraction and that adds more trouble for everyone from them to the villains. But their love story is pretty sweet and Westmore does try his best to make Mary happy and she wants to learn how to make him happy too. I enjoyed this book and I am curious to read the others in the series.


I give this novel a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library
