Christina Brooke is amazing and I enjoyed reading LONDON'S LAST TRUE SCOUNDREL very much. I couldn't put this book down and stayed up late reading it! Jonathon Westruther, Earl of Davenport has stolen my heart! A King of rakehell's, a master at seduction and a winner in falling in love when he falls for Hilary deVere. Hilary has been dismissed from her position at the Ladies academy because the Ton is prejudiced against her brothers who are low life louts. When Jonathon meets straight laced Hilary, he can't keep her mind or eyes off her. He's never felt like this for any other woman. Hilary tries to keep distance between them, but Jonathon is very hard to fight off. Jonathon steals Hilary away from her brothers' house and brings her to London to make sure she has her coming out. Family members from her side and his, say they must marry for they traveled together alone to the London. Jonathon will not break his life style to marry Hilary and she will not marry a Scoundrel, but can Jonathon stand by while Hilary has her coming out and watch all the men flirt and dance with her? I'll tell no more, LONDON'S LAST TRUE SCOUNDREL is a recommended book, read it find out the ending! I loved LONDON'S LAST TRUE SCOUNDREL!

SUMMARY

LONDON’S ULTIMATE BAD BOY… Physically reckless, irrepressibly roguish, and poised on the brink of ruin, Jonathon Westruther, Earl of Davenport, returns from the dead only to throw himself into dissipation. Until he meets his worst nightmare: a straitlaced former schoolteacher he can’t get out of his head. He resolves to seduce the delightful Miss Hilary deVere by fair means or foul. But when his past returns to endanger Hilary, he must protect her at all costs… MEETS ENGLAND’S MOST PROPER MISS Dismissed from her post at a ladies’ academy because of prejudice against her uncouth family, Hilary will do anything to avoid going back to live with her loutish brothers. She longs for a London season to show the world a deVere can behave with utmost decorum and to find a respectable husband. Everything about Lord Davenport appalls her but desperation makes strange bedfellows. To get to London, Hilary strikes a bargain with the devilish Davenport, confident that she’s immune to his charm. But as she discovers surprising depths beneath his rakish surface, this infamous scoundrel becomes more temptation than even the most proper lady can withstand…
