Falling Into Bed with a Duke (The Hellions of Havisham, #1) By Lorraine Heath

Falling Into Bed with a Duke by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love the love stories that Lorraine Heath creates they full of everything that a story need, emotions, events, unexpectedness and much more.

Though I love her stories sometimes I dread reading them if I'm a bit honest. I know that dread is a bit a strong word but it's kinda true. Her stories contain truth and a dose of reality that in some of them I can't help but think they are a bit dark, but the way she twist that darkness to happiness and happy ever after is totally worth it, and that's the pull that I can't resist.

- I loved the heroine she was so bold and smart and straightforward, I liked how she stayed calm and straight faced whenever someone wanted to deliver a jab and I knew without a doubt that she would have K.O-ed them in an instance

- I loved how the hero was so obsessed with her since he first saw her, it kinda gives me hope that their might be someone who would be the same toward me as well XD

- I can say without a doubt that my favorite part was the latest couple of chapters especially when the hero told her dad who has a reputation that is similar to a mafia don that he likes her legs XD

Overall, *thumps up*

Once More, My Darling Rogue (Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James, #2) By Lorraine Heath

Once More, My Darling Rogue by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It took me a while and some encouragement from my GR friend Carol to read this book, and I want to say thanx, at first I hesitated because I didn't like the amnesia theme cause I knew the emotions involved would be confusion, deceit, guilt, sorrow, that's during the amnesia but it's nothing compared to what happens after the memories are back, that's why I didn't want to feel or read angst.

- I loved the both the hero and the heroine, they had their bad moments but they were both good at heart. The heroine uses her cold blue-blooded veins as a facade to keep her darkest secrets hidden, abusing the hero and staff at first which I'm sure made everyone not like her. The hero using the amnesia as a weapon to deceive the heroine and seek his revenge for previous mistreatment. So both didn't have totally pure hearts and attitudes but who does they are human after all.

- I noticed since the beginning that the heroine had a thing for the hero even before the amnesia, for who notices the shape and color of every aspect of their enemy, like eyes, shoulders, hair, and smile, Seriously!

- I didn't like the deceit myself but at first I thought she had it coming, but not for long.

- I liked the zoo aspect that the house turned to XD

- I loved how they were together, they were adorable especially when he succumbed to her regarding the animals.

- Loved the father-son scene with the watch, I literally teared up.

- Loved how they got back together, so publicly ^^

- As usual loved the epilogue

When the Duke Was Wicked (Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James, #1) By Lorraine Heath

When the Duke Was Wicked by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lorraine Heath, book by devastatingly beautiful book is becoming one of my favorite authors, the type I put in my mind on a pedestal, the type that their writing contain all the elements I love in books.

This is my second series by her, after reading The Scoundrels of St.James, which was a beautiful series about the parents of the heroes or heroines of this book.

- I love the originality of her dilemmas how she bring to light issues that people tend to ignore because it doesn't concern them or their immediate circle.

- In here I found the hero a very stubborn man, keeps on repeating the same mantra again and again, that he can't love again. But to me it sounded as a warning or a reminder that it's not like he's not capable of loving another woman it's that he's not allowed to, to honor his died wife and child. I'm glad for the appearance of the heroine in his life, in a way that the author pictured perfectly he started to move, even though he was rusted and creaking but he moved.

- The heroine here was wild and daring, she knew about rules but deliberately sought to break them, she was quiet the feminist. She was bold and again daring, from the hints since the beginning of the book, I sensed that she was being daring for a reason like she doesn't have enough time and she wants to try everything. After finishing the book I admire her, her survival at what she suffered during her time wasn't something should be taken lightly, and how she faced everything head on was something truly to be admired and sought to achieve.

- I liked their awkward and humorous conversation about the male anatomy XD

- I liked the moments that all the people from parents to siblings to cousins were included in this book, in a way I'm seeing all the characters from The Scoundrels of St.James through a time skip and I know that the couples lived for long and were happy.

- I loved Lorraine Heath's epilogues, I love how it shows us that the couple lived together for a long time and were happy, that they were still together through thick and thin, that they had their children and saw them grow up, that they did grow grey and old together.

The Last Wicked Scoundrel (Scoundrels of St. James, #5) By Lorraine Heath

The Last Wicked Scoundrel by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A beautiful conclusion to a beautiful series ^^

I had my hopes that Winnie would end up with Graves and I'm happy she did, cause she needs some gentleness in her life, and from all the previous books Graves was known of his gentleness.

- Liked both characters, Graves for his desire toward Winnie that he held back for almost 3 YEARS! and how he boated her confidence, and of course the unflinching loyalty between the scoundrels/ Fagean's lads XD. Winnie for her determination and backbone.

- Loved the Rowing scene and any comment that included the word "rowing" XD

- I liked how Ms. Heath added a touch of mystery, suspense and humor with the main ingredient of romance t create such beautiful recipe of a book. One of the things I like most about her books is the originality behind the stories, so far I haven't encountered in a single one of them a scene that looked familiar or cliche especially the darkest secret behind each scoundrel.

- Plus here epilogues are lovely they are the kind that assures the reader that the couple did indeed lived happily ever after, mentioning children and old age and such sorts, not the kind that usually found in other books, where it's either instantly after the ending or after couple of months or years.

- I can't wait to start with the next generation XD

Overall, *thumps up* Anyone you is wondering about this series, I guarantee that it's well worth it.

Midnight Pleasures with a Scoundrel (Scoundrels of St. James, #4) By Lorraine Heath

Midnight Pleasures with a Scoundrel by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lorraine Heath is an amazing writer she finds a way to move around words, characters, scenes into different designs that makes every reader enjoys the story even when some elements might be something the reader doesn't like she finds a way to make it all work out fabulously.

- I Loved James, he gave different impressions in each book, mostly a bit distant, like with Luke he followed the orders because he believed it's Luke's due as a lord, then with Dodger he didn't trust him, with Franny he was like a kicked out puppy excluding the exhibitionist portion (still can't get over it XD). But in this book his true colors showed, the previous actions were done but love and complete trust and those misconceptions were by the other members not him. He was so gentle and kind, at first cunning, then he became completely love sick.

- I loved Emma, she was so gentle and sweet, the impersonation part aside, she was lovely, she was the mild tempered gentle sister, and it's my first time reading about a triplet in a book XD. Nonetheless, I can't imagine losing one twin to that ugliness, and what I mostly liked about her is how thought she's tiny and gentle she can be a savage lioness when needs be.

- I'm a sucked fr huge hunky guy with petite women so that's a big plus ^^

- At first I was annoyed with Eleanor cause did she really fell for every guy who complements her, and then she's all snappy at James, but I'm glad how things ended up for her, I just wished that James would have teased the guy some more, since he commented about James love sick attitude couple of times XD

- I loved the courting part, and how each member or their wives reacted when they met her ^^

- Loved how fast things worked between them, they weren't the type to stall or anything and I like that

- The Epilogues are to die for, all happy, all have decades wealth of happiness, every book's epilogues makes more intrigued with the next.

Surrender to the Devil (Scoundrels of St. James, #3) By Lorraine Heath

Surrender to the Devil by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm starting to develop a crush Ms. Heath, this series is amazing, at first I didn't realize that it's a sort of parody of Oliver Twist but now I confirmed my doubts and I really think it's amazingly nice

- I have to admit in here I didn't fall in love with any of the characters but I liked them well enough, it's just some of the ideas that are included in this book were the ones I loved.

- Since book one I really didn't like the Duke, and in the beginning of the book he didn't help, being all snobbish and bossy. Plus my thoughts about his dilemma at first weren't of the kind variety, I was like he was turning blind why all the drama, I read books about already blind guys and they kinda adjusted better, but then I felt contrite, I'm in no place to judge since I'm not the one with a timer set to finalize the end of his eyesight. Slowly bit by bit I started to like him, at first I didn't like the idea of his trying to impress her by doing charity and help the boys, but eventually he started ding it for the boys using her as an excuse XD. I liked how he interacted with the boys especially Peter.

- I liked Frannie since book one, since she supported the main characters in their love pursuits. I like her passion about the orphaned boys. And I envy her her relationship with Feagan's lads, and I have to voice my sympathies to Swindler, since he didn't have a chance, but WOW his crush seems more series since he became kinda of an exhibitionist to her and all. I liked her moderate attitude, and when I say moderate I meant that she didn't play hard to get or played to easy to get sort, she knew their differences she knew how it would end and she embraced the results.

- I'm starting to develop a liking to Feagan as well XD

- I liked the scenes with the kids and their interactions with the adults XD

Overall, *thumps up* can't wait to finish this series so that I can jump to the other series regarding their children XD

Between the Devil and Desire (Scoundrels of St. James, #2) By Lorraine Heath

Between the Devil and Desire by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved Jack, and the touch of a single parent theme is melting ^^

- Jack was wonderful, of course I had my doubts about him since the first book, since no one seemed t trust him fully even the Feagan's Lads didn't except for Luke and we have see what that had turned into. However unlike the heroine I didn't base judgments n him from what I heard about him, I was just curious about him. I was slightly annoyed with the heroine till half way through the book, she was so judgmental ALWAYS thinking the worst of him, always thinking he's the one at fault, always assuming he was the one who did the wrong, even the first scene when they first met, she kept having this one sided conversation about his wicked bad life and all he did was sit in the chair and ignore her, But I'm glad she saw the mistake in her actions and righted her behavior.

He was so lovely with Henry, and since the beginning I sensed the connection between them that they realized at the end of the book. I liked how he was attuned to Henry's behavior and fears, how he paid bags of money just so the boy can have a moments of joy. I liked his protectiveness toward the boys, because his experience is something that no boy should experience, it's just unnatural and plainly sick.

- I liked the heroine, she was ok. I liked how she was devoted to her son, but her insistence on propriety was annoying, I liked her much more on the second half of the book, specifically after they fired the old nanny, that's when they started to develop their camaraderie. I loved her at the end, when they ended up together, how she was fiercely loyal to jack and is ignoring society and its dictates.

- I loved the loyalty between the Feagan brood, they were together from thin to thick and back.

- I loved the relationship that developed between Jack and Henry, the hero worship in the boy's eyes was evident, and I loved the imitating scene at the dinner table.

In Bed with the Devil (Scoundrels of St. James, #1) By Lorraine Heath

In Bed with the Devil by Lorraine Heath
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved it!! This is my first book by Lorraine Heath and I loved every second of it.

- Loved the hero, he was sooo kind and sweet and totally doesn't fit the name of the Devil, he was more gentlemanly more kind, more brave more .. just more in every area than any other man in the book, maybe not all we still didn't get to know the others form Feagan's scoundrels, but that is soon is going to be remedied. Anyway the point is he was more of a gentleman than anyone who claimed they were.

- Loved the heroine, the word that fits her the most is Bold. for she was bold, she doesn't take to commands well, she talks back, she fights back, she doesn't hesitate, she keeps going forward and on. I loved how she was bold and brazen how she thought of the Earl and how it changed, how she was calm about everything about his history and how she was comfortable with his friends. Simply I loved that she accepts him for him.

- Even though there was a third wheel between them, but that didn't worry me much because since the beginning of the book Frannie admitted that she only sees him as a brother and she was encouraging their relationship.

- Loved how comfortable they were with each other, I loved the omelette scenes.

- I loved the fight scene where she protects him, which shows shes not the time to stand back and let herself be protected which makes me like her more.

- I loved the scenes that followed them to the country house, the night, the picnic, all of it, they were so cute.

- The ending was lovely, but I think I don't like the brother much, he was overbearing with I'm lord and master crap, hated him on the spot for that. But I loved how they came together.

Overall, *thumps up*
