Search - Love with the Perfect Scoundrel (Widows Club, Bk 3)

I hate to rate and review books that I was unable to finish, but I do feel a certain responsibility to my fellow romance readers to give them some sort of warning about this book. In short, it stinks:P I was actually under the impression that as a plot device, injuring the heroine in such a way as to force the hero to get her undressed in Chapter 1 had gone the way of the dinosaur - and rightly so. The set-up is as thin as a tissue, the hero's language anachronistic - even for an American - and the use of long since exhausted plot devices get this story off to a less than promising start. All before Chapter 5...
Again, to be absolutely fair, I just couldn't get into it, so I can't swear that it doesn't get any better, but I also think if you have to struggle that hard to get through the first few chapters of a story, it's not exactly a good sign.

Rating: None, since it was a DNF (did not finish).

This is the third book in the "Widows' Club" series and the one I liked the best. Grace is the most refined and wealthiest of the widows; Michael has been running since he was a young boy and is strong and quick on his feet. He teaches Grace to be strong also. It is an entertaining read with enough eroticism to keep most satisfied.

I really enjoyed this story. There is a bit of eye-rolling with the injury and getting naked ploy but after all that the interaction between Michael and Grace was a lot of fun. Adding the other characters from the previous two books, I found it a delightful read.

Grace was never my favorite character since she was Nash's whipping dog from the previous two books. Her redeeming quality was that she was the one who broke off the engagements. Here with her confidence in herself building, she actually became a very wonderful strong character.

Although you don't have to read the previous two books it helps for the group scenes.
