Love with a Scandalous Lord

In a nutshell: Gigolo turned Duke falls for Texan girl

Plot Analysis: The plot taps into a basic need to nurture. In this case the woman healing the broken man. Interesting in that the only “rescuing” that doesn't end up boomeranging is the female's.

Heroine evaluation: not as naïve as the average country girl is thought to be.

Hero evaluation: Seemingly well rounded mysterious man who ends up really being a cardboard Pollyanna.

Best Part: A refreshingly well rounded female lead who completely saves the male.

Worst Part: the chocolate scene is just terrible. (please don't ask...)



Titillation factor: 4, the first half of the book is surprisingly “romantic” with the scenes being actually plausible

Reading level: 3, the euphemisms aren't too annoying, surprisingly

Overall: 4, nice plot twists

Onto the worst romance story of them all
