Three Nights With A Scoundrel - Tiga Malam Yang Mengejutkan (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Whenever you have a series where characters present in the beginning books have their own book later on, there's always a bit of apprehension and fear involved. Sometimes it's whether the characters gets the romance they deserve.In other cases, like Three Nights with a Scoundrel, you wonder how the hell the author is going to redeem a character you don't particularly like. Enter Julian Bellamy.I can't say that the previous two books endeared me to Julian, and though we already know Lily loves him, it was hard to see why. But one must trust Tessa Dare because she knows what she's doing. I may have wanted to whack Julian upside the head, but his character was well-developed enough that I could totally wrap my arms around him. Ahem.Three Nights with a Scoundrel is the last in the Stud Club trilogy. (Seriously. Stud Club. You should read for the name alone.) The murder that happened in One Dance with a Duke is solved. Though the mystery wasn't ever a huge part of the story---more like something that strings everything together---it was a damn good mystery.And Lily was awesome. She's reeling from the loss of her twin brother and she's learning how to be on her own and deaf, but she kicks serious ass and reaches out to grab what she wants in life. I loved how well she and Julian were matched, especially considering his history. (Which we finally get answers for. Yay!)If you're a fan of historical romance and you haven't tried Tessa Dare yet, you may just be missing out on some seriously good books. In the third book of the series we follow Lily and Julian. Lily is trying to move on with her life after the death of her brother and Julian is trying to not only locate his killer but find Lily a suitable husband. Julian's hidden past will finally be revealed as will his love for Lily. This was a wonderful read that will grasp your attention from the first pages till the end. In true fashion Ms. Dare included characters we fell in love with from the first two books. What I also love is in the end she sets up the possibility of a new line of stories following the lives of the children.
