A Loving Scoundrel (Malory Family, Bk 7)
robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2048 more book reviews


Ophaned at a young age with no memory of her past, Danny was taken under the wing of a group of thieves. When Danny is banished from her gang because she helped handsome Rakehell Jeremy Malory steal back the jewels his friend lost in a card game, Danny demands that Jeremy give her a job. She is determined to change her life and become respectable in order to fulfill her dream of marrying and starting a family. Intrigued by her beauty and spunk, Jeremy hires Danny as his upstairs maid, although he intends to make her his mistress.

Jeremy, who was introduced in the first Malory book as a smart mouthed sixteen year old, has finally got his own book. He is now 25 year old and considered quite a catch by the ladies of the Ton. Like his father, uncle, and cousin before him, Jeremy has no plans to settle down. But when he meets Danny, he finds he has met his match. She may have started out as a pickpocket in the London slums, but she wants to make a life for herself and be no man's mistress.

This is an entertaining addition to the Malory series. Although the plot is predictable and we know that eventually Danny will discover her past, I still enjoyed this book. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
