Now she\u2019ll do anything to take back what\u2019s hers\u2026 even if she has to steal it. Accepting a scandalous offer from Lord Savage seems like the perfect solution to disguise her criminal intentions from the\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\">ton<\/span>. Until she discovers that there\u2019s more to this scoundrel than meets the eye.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Leo Ramsgate, Marquess of Savage, has everything except for a heart. That organ dried up long ago after a devastating betrayal. Since then, he vowed never to trust or love again. He ensures that his dalliances are mutually satisfying, but always temporary\u2026 until he meets the reserved Miss Thorogood. Not one of his previous lovers has ever beguiled him the way she does. Not one has made him want to break his own rules. Not one has tempted him to keep her\u2026 forever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Prue has every intention of disappearing from London after their affair ends. But her plan falters when she finds herself falling hopelessly in love with a man who may never love her in return. With time running out and so much at stake, she cannot help but wonder\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><em><span class=\"a-text-italic\">How to Steal a Scoundrel\u2019s Heart<\/span>?<\/em><\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_23787e9 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_2d1ea91  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25880 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-diamond-banner-1.png?resize=296%2C72\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> May 24, 2022<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>The Mating Habits of Scoundrels<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>4<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0HarperCollins<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Avon Books<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $5.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>This book, Lord Savage is probably my favorite. Readers, if you loved Sebastian from the <strong>Devil In Winter<\/strong>, then you need to give Lord Savage a shot.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Our heroine<strong> Prudence<\/strong> is a woman scorned. Ruined by a so-called gentleman, she is the reason the previous heroines in this series started on their book writing and researching paths. These ladies were determined to find a way to warn other women, to help protect them from the situation Prudence finds herself in. Yet, she&#8217;s a woman with justice in mind. She&#8217;ll lie, cheat and steal to get it and what better way than to enter into a bargain with the type of man believed to be a spawn of Satan.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>Psst&#8230;<\/em> I loved Prudence for her sheer determination and strength. No matter the villain or the outcome she&#8217;s motivated to succeed.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Our hero, <strong>Lord Savage, Leo<\/strong>, is not hero material. He&#8217;s only motivated by his own interests and preferably women with experience. Yet our dear Prudence rouses his interest. Before long Leo is breaking his own rules in this quest to seduce her for real. Though someone from his past is trying to ruin everything.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">There was, or is, something magical about this story. Lorret ensnared me from chapter one and I couldn&#8217;t help but literally inhale this book like a ravenous Kirby. From the chemistry between Prudence and Leo, both of their heartbreaking backstories, and to how they rise together. The best relationships in romance are how hero and heroine make each other better versions of themselves, and the journey towards this HEA was so worth it.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Overall, like I said before if you&#8217;re a fan of <strong>Chase<\/strong> or <strong>Kleypas<\/strong> then you need to get reading Lorret.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3lKyBlQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geo.itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/wedding-cake-crumble\/id1260340886?mt=11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/how-to-steal-a-scoundrels-heart-vivienne-lorret\/1140045249?ean=9780063143029\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/how-to-steal-a-scoundrel-s-heart-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Vivienne_Lorret_How_to_Steal_a_Scoundrel_s_Heart?id=dDQ_EAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ruined debutante Prudence Thorogood lost everything when she was ousted from polite society, including her inheritance.

Now she\u2019ll do anything to take back what\u2019s hers\u2026 even if she has to steal it. Accepting a scandalous offer from Lord Savage seems like the perfect solution to disguise her criminal intentions from the\u00a0ton. Until she discovers that there\u2019s more to this scoundrel than meets the eye.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Leo Ramsgate, Marquess of Savage, has everything except for a heart. That organ dried up long ago after a devastating betrayal. Since then, he vowed never to trust or love again. He ensures that his dalliances are mutually satisfying, but always temporary\u2026 until he meets the reserved Miss Thorogood. Not one of his previous lovers has ever beguiled him the way she does. Not one has made him want to break his own rules. Not one has tempted him to keep her\u2026 forever.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prue has every intention of disappearing from London after their affair ends. But her plan falters when she finds herself falling hopelessly in love with a man who may never love her in return. With time running out and so much at stake, she cannot help but wonder\u2026\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>How to Steal a Scoundrel\u2019s Heart?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-diamond-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> May 24, 2022<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>The Mating Habits of Scoundrels<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>4<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0HarperCollins<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Avon Books<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $5.99<\/p><hr \/><p><br \/><br \/><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>This book, Lord Savage is probably my favorite. Readers, if you loved Sebastian from the <strong>Devil In Winter<\/strong>, then you need to give Lord Savage a shot.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Our heroine<strong> Prudence<\/strong> is a woman scorned. Ruined by a so-called gentleman, she is the reason the previous heroines in this series started on their book writing and researching paths. These ladies were determined to find a way to warn other women, to help protect them from the situation Prudence finds herself in. Yet, she's a woman with justice in mind. She'll lie, cheat and steal to get it and what better way than to enter into a bargain with the type of man believed to be a spawn of Satan.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>Psst...<\/em> I loved Prudence for her sheer determination and strength. No matter the villain or the outcome she's motivated to succeed.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Our hero, <strong>Lord Savage, Leo<\/strong>, is not hero material. He's only motivated by his own interests and preferably women with experience. Yet our dear Prudence rouses his interest. Before long Leo is breaking his own rules in this quest to seduce her for real. Though someone from his past is trying to ruin everything.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">There was, or is, something magical about this story. Lorret ensnared me from chapter one and I couldn't help but literally inhale this book like a ravenous Kirby. From the chemistry between Prudence and Leo, both of their heartbreaking backstories, and to how they rise together. The best relationships in romance are how hero and heroine make each other better versions of themselves, and the journey towards this HEA was so worth it.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Overall, like I said before if you're a fan of <strong>Chase<\/strong> or <strong>Kleypas<\/strong> then you need to get reading Lorret.\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3lKyBlQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geo.itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/wedding-cake-crumble\/id1260340886?mt=11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/how-to-steal-a-scoundrels-heart-vivienne-lorret\/1140045249?ean=9780063143029\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/how-to-steal-a-scoundrel-s-heart-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Vivienne_Lorret_How_to_Steal_a_Scoundrel_s_Heart?id=dDQ_EAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28206"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28206\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29222,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28206\/revisions\/29222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
