Every plot is unique, the tension is palpable, the characters deep with interesting backgrounds. BUT - the last three books, Darling Beast, Dearest Rogue and now Sweetest Scoundrel have been way off the mark for me. This latest book, Sweetest Scoundrel, was so unlike her earlier writing that I ploughed through it,waiting and waiting to be caught up in her often nightmarish, intricate plots. It never happened. I liked both the hero's and heroine's characters and their interraction - but the sex scenes were unnecessarily graphic; I don't need to have male and female genitalia described in detail. I also don't know why the first 'sex scene' in the carriage was there - this is a 34 year old man, not a teenager, and a woman who, we know, has terrible issues from her childhood, asking for more explanations and demonstrations?? Please! Then we get a similar scene in the office; I really felt it was just there for titillation, not what I want from her books. There were a lot of other situations and actions that didn't work - but I would be giving the story away if I remarked on them. Suffice to say there were plenty, and I didn't like them.The plot was so thin that I thought there must be more to come to flesh it out, but no, it plodded along and the villain was despatched neatly - and unbelievably. There was never any feeling of menace from him - and I think that is something EH has always written so well. Because I have so enjoyed the earlier books in the series, I will read the next one because we are already familiar with the hero, the Duke of Montgomery, and hope that the author pulls something better out of the hat. I believe that there are a further three Maiden Lane books in the pipeline, but I will have decide whether to read them after the next book is published. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Maiden Lane Triumph! *by M***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 January 2016* Elizabeth Hoyt has created a wonderful backdrop for her Maiden Lane series and each book is a delight to read. Eve's and Asa's story is no exception. Asa is a really interesting, down to earth hero and at last we find out why he has been distant from his family for so long. He is driven by his passion for the garden at Harte's Folly and the theatrical entertainments that he works hard to produce. As he falls in love with Eve, he has to come to terms with his past and re-order his priorities for the future. His sensitivity to Eve reveals depths to his character that contrast strongly with the brash, hot tempered man we encounter at the beginning of the book. As for Eve, she is also a delight. She is plain, illegitimate and deeply traumatised by events in her own past, but when she loves, she loves wholeheartedly. (Who else could be so devoted to such an amoral and mercurial brother as the Duke of Montgomery? Val's book is next, thankfully, and I can't wait to see how Ms Hoyt can make a hero out of such a character!) Eve's journey is perhaps even more difficult than Asa's, but she is a lovely, courageous woman and it is heartwarming to see her blossom as these two unlikely lovers reach out for their HEA. I thoroughly recommend this book as well as all the others in the Maiden Lane series. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Sweet Tale *by E***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2016* I've always loved Elizabeth Hoyt's writing since the first book of Maiden Lane and Sweetest Scoundrel fits in the series just perfectly.It's not dramatic and scandalous as some of the other previous books, it is what the book's title states, it's a 'sweet' tale between two people who at first glance would never be seen together as a couple. Shy Eve who's a daughter of a Duke and hot-headed Asa the owner of a pleasure garden.For me personally the love story had a modern day feel to it, these two characters had chemistry from the start even though it wasn't the best of starts, but they somehow work so perfectly together.It's a quick, easy read, but full of character and promising storylines none the less.
