Review: How to Steal a Scoundrel's Heart!

Review: How to Steal a Scoundrel's Heart by Vivienne Lorret

In USA Today bestselling author Vivienne Lorret’s latest steamy romance, a determined debutante discovers that making a deal with a notorious rake might just give her more than she ever bargained for…

Ruined debutante Prudence Thorogood lost everything when she was ousted from polite society, including her inheritance. Now she’ll do anything to take back what’s hers… even if she has to steal it. Accepting a scandalous offer from Lord Savage seems like the perfect solution to disguise her criminal intentions from the ton. Until she discovers that there’s more to this scoundrel than meets the eye.

Leo Ramsgate, Marquess of Savage, has everything except for a heart. That organ dried up long ago after a devastating betrayal. Since then, he vowed never to trust or love again. He ensures that his dalliances are mutually satisfying, but always temporary… until he meets the reserved Miss Thorogood. Not one of his previous lovers has ever beguiled him the way she does. Not one has made him want to break his own rules. Not one has tempted him to keep her… forever.

Prue has every intention of disappearing from London after their affair ends. But her plan falters when she finds herself falling hopelessly in love with a man who may never love her in return. With time running out and so much at stake, she cannot help but wonder…

How to Steal a Scoundrel’s Heart?

-summary and cover

Plot: The premise of this one was really unique, and I quite liked Prue's misadventures at the beginning trying to (unsuccessfully) get back the items that were rightfully hers, and eventually having to seek Leo's help. And while the plot was fun, the relationship between Prue and Leo was truly the best part of the book for me! 

Characters: I thought Prue was an absolutely fantastic main character! My heart broke for her and everything she had been through, and I loved reading about her gaining more confidence in herself. Leo fell for her so quickly, even though it took him quite awhile to realize that. (Leo and the clocks were hilarious, you'll know what I mean after you read the book!) And I liked all the supporting characters, particularly Prue's friends and Leo's butler.

The Cover: I like it!

Overall: I absolutely loved this book, and I highly recommend it to any fans of Historical Romances!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.
