Book one-hundred-and-forty-five: Never Seduce a Scoundrel

Never Seduce a Scoundrel (2006)
Sabrina Jeffries


Rating: 2.5/5

I hadn’t read anything written by Sabrina Jeffries before, but I'm really glad I picked this up (or downloaded it, I guess, as it was an eBook). I really love the way she writes. Very funny and very easy to read.

This is the first in a series… aren’t they all? (Well, usually with me, it’s the second or third in a series, only I don’t realise at the time of purchase…)

And of course, I can't wait to read Charlotte and Micheal's book (their letters open each chapter). I think it is coming out in 2008.

Lady Amelia Plume has many admirers; too bad they’re all fortune hunters and fops who can’t provide the exotic adventures she seeks. The ballrooms of Mayfair have become more appealing since the arrival of Major Lucas Winter—an American marine with a dangerous past and a brooding air. Lucas is brash, arrogant…and scandalously tempting. Every thrilling kiss sparks deeper desire, yet Amelia suspects that Lucas has a hidden motive in wooing her and she means to discover it, by any means necessary…

Lucas came to London to find the cad who embezzled money from a naval contractor. The captivating Lady Amelia could be the key to his quest, but what started as simple flirtation has become a delicious dance of seduction. And when a rival jeopardizes Amelia’s reputation, Lucas must choose what he wants most—the chance to avenge his past, or a future filled with fiery passion…
