Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase

5.0

God I loved this book!!! I think this might well end up on my favorites of all time list, it strikes the perfect balance between humor and real serious emotion, is incredibly sexy, and did a great job grappling with the damage done by Sebastian while also showing so much love and compassion for him. There was your standard gender role related weirdness that comes in like 90% of historicals but that’s to be expected and I’m not about to take points away for it. My only gripe with this book was some of the way characters talked about charity graves made me a little sad, she is objectively not a great person and she does get her happy ending despite it all as well but I don’t love disparaging talk about SWers so I could’ve done without that. All in all though this book did my heart so much good and I’d recommend it for pretty much anyone.
