A review by alice2000
Scoundrel by Zoe Archer
5.0
After reading [b:Warrior|7199027|Warrior (The Blades of the Rose, #1)|Zoe Archer|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1264553344s/7199027.jpg|7860127] I wasn't sure if Zoe Archer could keep up the great momentum she got going. I am happy to say she did. I loved Bennett & London as much as I did Thalia & Gabriel. Another great location, Greek Isles, and more great action, adventure, magic and romance.
Bennett & London's connection was both steamy and so sweet. After reading so many books where the rake/womanizing/scoundrel leading man has never felt love and is resistant to it it's nice to get a book about one who adores women so much. He readily admits he loves something about each and every woman he comes across. It was a refreshing change and really helped me engage with his character. The fact that his mother is a huge Jane Austen/Pride & Prejudice fan (hence his name) is just another perk. London also could have been a cliche, but instead was a delightfully intelligent, fully formed character. She grew so much through the book, but it felt natural.
The only complaint I have so far is that all the Heirs seem a bit alike. Lamb/Jonas from Warrior were near the same as Edgeworth/Fraser in Scoundrel. Still, that small thing doesn't detract from my near perfect enjoyment of this series.
