![]() She is hot on the trail of a well known whore who abducts young girls for the trade when Ainswood thwarts her and their first sparks start to fly.Īinswood manages to continue to thwart her do-gooder efforts – not really in order to stop her but just because he’s intrigued and follows her. She’s not high born but suspects her mother was somehow related to Dain, based on a diary Lydia discovered as a child. ![]() Lydia Grenville is a blue stocking, spinster journalist – she is a sort of muckraker, plus she also writes a serial romance under a pen name for the same newspaper. He should never have inherited the title – it went through so many male relatives, down to his cousin Robin, the 6th Duke of Ainswood, who died of diphtheria at age nine after having spent six months traveling with Ainswood. ![]() Ainswood is all things bad – the last of the hellions in his family. The hero is the Duke of Ainswood, friends with Dain of LOS: you may remember him as the one who called Dain’s wife Jessica a whore on their wedding day and whom Dain beat to a fare-thee-well because of that comment. Chase used the same wonderful techniques to create this story that made Lord of Scoundrels (LOS) such a favorite – incredibly witty, rich, layered writing that had me grinning and laughing out loud all the way through the book. What a treat it is to get the entire Scoundrels series in audio format read by the incomparable Kate Reading! If you loved Lord of Scoundrels, I predict you will love The Last Hellion. ![]()
