Search - A Loving Scoundrel (Malory Family, Bk 7)

Gotta love the Malory's.

A wonderful historical romance.

Wonderful!

Good. Woman who grew up on the streets is hired as a maid and finds her true identity.

This was the first Johanna Lindsey novel that I read about two years ago. The story and the main characters still stick with me. It's a Malory novel about James Malory's son Jeremy and a girl named Dani. She has been raised on the street's of London and is a pickpocket. She can't remember her past. Jeremy eventually hires her as his maid and they become lovers. He helps her uncover secrets from her past. It's been two years, but I remember liking the Malory clan and enjoying this story.

I love all her books. Greta author and stories. Highly recommened.

Lindsey's formula for bestselling historical romance features modern-thinking heroes and heroines in old-fashioned clothing, who meet in scenes reminiscent of favorite classics-and who then jump into bed with an enthusiasm that would make the authors of said classics blush. Her latest Regency picks up the Malory series (Gentle Rogue, etc.) after a long hiatus, to focus on Jeremy Malory. Raised a pirate but now enjoying the Malory fortune, socially prominent but streetwise Jeremy meets his match in Danny, a beautiful orphan with no memory of her past, who lives dressed as a boy with a group of London pickpockets. After catching her trying to rob him in a sketchy tavern, he promises to release her only after she breaks into the country home of a dastardly nobleman who cheated Jeremy's friend out of precious family heirlooms. Jeremy goes along for the ride, and when they're caught in the act, it takes Danny's quick wit and Jeremy's steady nerve to escape. Oliver Twist becomes Pygmalion as Danny becomes a maid in Jeremy's household and later tries to pass as a highborn lady to help her master escape the clutches of a scheming heiress. Of course, Danny has more in common with highborn ladies than she realizes, and the reader knows that eventually Danny will learn who she is and uncover the evildoer who stole her birthright. The fun of this costume drama, after all, is not in guessing what happens next but in knowing what will and savoring the anticipation. Lindsey brings nothing new to the mix, but she stirs it up with so much energy and spirit that it's hard not to find it delicious.

I adore Johanna Lindsey!

This is another in the Mallory series. This one is about Jeremy who is James son. He finds Danny, who is a young woman dressed as a boy and hires her as his upstairs maid. A must if you enjoy Johanna Lindsey!

Part of the Mallory series but each book stands alone. Good Reading

What can I say it's another JOHANNA LINDSEY great!!the Mallorys are back in this one..

Good story, unexpected ending.

When Jeremy Malory hires Danny, a young woman who grew up on London's streets disguished as a boy, as his upstairs maid, he secretly intends to make her his mistress. But Danny surprises him with her dreams of becoming a refined lady and a gentleman's wife. As she transforms from urchin to elegant beauty before Jeremy's eyes, she unwittingly captivates the charming scoundrel. Now high society tongues are wagging: Who is this mysterious newcomer, and what is the truth about her past? No matter that a life-long adversary will go to any lengths to ensure Danny's downfall, Jeremy, who vowed never to succumb to matrimony, finds his resolve weakening as he pursues a woman whose strong, passionate nature rivals his own and promises the kind of challenge a Malory man can't resist.
