Loved this series
What a great collection of books!!
To Love a thief - 5 stars - hands down my favorite in this entire series. I loved Jocelyn and Daniel. They had such great chemistry. I also liked the mystery aspect of the book. While this was a novella - it didn't feel rushed nor did it seem like the intro to the next book. It was very well done.
Never Love a Scoundrel - 5 stars
Jason and Lydia are great together. I wasn't sure if I was going to like Lydia as a heroine - based on her character in the previous books. But she was a lot more than she appeared in those books. And Jason...sigh. I love scarred and tormented heroes. I felt for him and enjoyed his transformation. And really, the same goes for Lydia, her transformation was remarkable. I wasn't sure these two were actually going to get a HEA and was very happy with the way everything worked out.
Scoundrel Ever After - 4.5 stars
Ethan and Audrey are just about the most unlikely couple I think I have ever read. I liked them both - but didn't believe them as a couple until almost the end of the book. This book was what I call a roller coaster read. It was up and down. It didn't flow as well as her other books and there is a lot going on.
Upside - there are cameos from all the previous heroes and heroines and quite a bit of action in this story. The book took off like a rocket and then seemed to lose steam around the 50% mark only to pick up steam and finish with a bang!
I can't recommend this series enough. It is well written, interesting, steamy and totally entertaining.
