Following a year abroad, Willa wants to move on with her life, so she accepts an invitation to a house party. She&#8217;s determined to leave her humiliation behind, as well as the scorching attraction she still feels for the man who jilted her.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">When dark secrets from his past surfaced right before his wedding, Dom knew he didn\u2019t deserve Willa. So, he bolted. But he still burns for the only woman who ever claimed his heart. To escape the memories of all he lost, Dom heads to a friend\u2019s estate on an isolated Scottish isle. Yet one of the other guests is the very woman who haunts his every thought and makes him wish for the impossible.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Thrown together by well-meaning family and friends, Willa and Dom try to resist the fiery pull between them. Soon the line between love and loathing begins to blur, and their attraction explodes. But Dom\u2019s past lurks on the edge of their rekindled passion and Willa fears she\u2019ll be devastated all over again. Can these star-crossed lovers find their happily ever after, or will\u00a0everything detonate a second time?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_obha382 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_9bic382  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-25879 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-top-pick-banner-1-2.png?resize=296%2C72&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Apr 25, 2023<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Last Chance Scoundrels<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>3<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0HarperCollins<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Avon<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $6.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>The final book in <em>Last Chance Scoundrels<\/em> is delicious!<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Leigh<\/strong> is probably one of my favorite historical authors currently writing. I prescribe her books to anyone wanting a more inclusive window into the historical world, along with heroes that empower the women they love and aren\u2019t threatened by a woman\u2019s desire or ambition. The final book in this series only adds to her ongoing world and legacy&#8230; not to mention her talent for writing smokin\u2019 hot romance.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I\u2019ve been waiting for<strong> Dom<\/strong> and <strong>Willa\u2019s<\/strong> story since the opening pages of <strong>The Good Girl\u2019s Guide to Rakes<\/strong>. Dom left Willa at the alter for a reason, some reason, and it was horrible, and I needed to know why. I also had to understand what type of person Willa was. Leigh delivered this heartbreaking story in the best way possible, with Dom and Willa stranded together at an island house party. When these two are forced to face their past, the awakening is so much more than lingering attraction.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I loved how Dom and Willa had issues they needed to overcome and how being together once more drove them to uncover hard truths. These two together are smokin\u2019 hot, though, from the forced bad acting scene to their random meeting on a dark night beach, to getting caught in a rainstorm, and of course, a small guest house with only one bed. There\u2019s some light kink in this book too, which I love. Leigh is so good at weaving in sexual tension amid internal conflict. As for external, this book is all Dom and Willa, which forces readers to really sink into the history between the pair and how they\u2019ve grown in the time apart.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">There is nothing conventional about this book, and I wouldn\u2019t want it any other way. From the setting to the pacing, it\u2019s on the mark. While there aren\u2019t external forces keeping these two apart, the wounds of the past are the major antagonist here. Both characters show how easily a person can be dominated by the expectations of society around them and the masks they wear instead of being true to themselves.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re looking for historical romances that really dive deep into character development and you enjoy on-fire sexual tension, you can\u2019t go wrong with this one. I\u2019m considering this summer for an Eva Leigh Renaissance and may be reading through her last four series to soak in a world I wish I were part of.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_k55d382 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\/3n5HhI2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/41CtmIk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/a-rogues-rules-for-seduction-eva-leigh\/1141864288?ean=9780063082694\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/a-rogue-s-rules-for-seduction-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Eva_Leigh_A_Rogue_s_Rules_for_Seduction?id=-rt9EAAAQBAJ\" 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>After Dominic Kilburn left Lady Willa Ransom at the altar, she vowed never to reveal how badly she was hurt.

Following a year abroad, Willa wants to move on with her life, so she accepts an invitation to a house party. She's determined to leave her humiliation behind, as well as the scorching attraction she still feels for the man who jilted her.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When dark secrets from his past surfaced right before his wedding, Dom knew he didn\u2019t deserve Willa. So, he bolted. But he still burns for the only woman who ever claimed his heart. To escape the memories of all he lost, Dom heads to a friend\u2019s estate on an isolated Scottish isle. Yet one of the other guests is the very woman who haunts his every thought and makes him wish for the impossible.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thrown together by well-meaning family and friends, Willa and Dom try to resist the fiery pull between them. Soon the line between love and loathing begins to blur, and their attraction explodes. But Dom\u2019s past lurks on the edge of their rekindled passion and Willa fears she\u2019ll be devastated all over again. Can these star-crossed lovers find their happily ever after, or will\u00a0everything detonate a second time?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/smitten-top-pick-banner-1-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"72\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Apr 25, 2023<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Last Chance Scoundrels<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>3<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Hot<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0HarperCollins<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Avon<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $6.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>The final book in <em>Last Chance Scoundrels<\/em> is delicious!<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Leigh<\/strong> is probably one of my favorite historical authors currently writing. I prescribe her books to anyone wanting a more inclusive window into the historical world, along with heroes that empower the women they love and aren\u2019t threatened by a woman\u2019s desire or ambition. The final book in this series only adds to her ongoing world and legacy... not to mention her talent for writing smokin\u2019 hot romance.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I\u2019ve been waiting for<strong> Dom<\/strong> and <strong>Willa\u2019s<\/strong> story since the opening pages of <strong>The Good Girl\u2019s Guide to Rakes<\/strong>. Dom left Willa at the alter for a reason, some reason, and it was horrible, and I needed to know why. I also had to understand what type of person Willa was. Leigh delivered this heartbreaking story in the best way possible, with Dom and Willa stranded together at an island house party. When these two are forced to face their past, the awakening is so much more than lingering attraction.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">I loved how Dom and Willa had issues they needed to overcome and how being together once more drove them to uncover hard truths. These two together are smokin\u2019 hot, though, from the forced bad acting scene to their random meeting on a dark night beach, to getting caught in a rainstorm, and of course, a small guest house with only one bed. There\u2019s some light kink in this book too, which I love. Leigh is so good at weaving in sexual tension amid internal conflict. As for external, this book is all Dom and Willa, which forces readers to really sink into the history between the pair and how they\u2019ve grown in the time apart.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">There is nothing conventional about this book, and I wouldn\u2019t want it any other way. From the setting to the pacing, it\u2019s on the mark. While there aren\u2019t external forces keeping these two apart, the wounds of the past are the major antagonist here. Both characters show how easily a person can be dominated by the expectations of society around them and the masks they wear instead of being true to themselves.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re looking for historical romances that really dive deep into character development and you enjoy on-fire sexual tension, you can\u2019t go wrong with this one. I\u2019m considering this summer for an Eva Leigh Renaissance and may be reading through her last four series to soak in a world I wish I were part of.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Landra<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3n5HhI2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/41CtmIk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/a-rogues-rules-for-seduction-eva-leigh\/1141864288?ean=9780063082694\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/a-rogue-s-rules-for-seduction-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Eva_Leigh_A_Rogue_s_Rules_for_Seduction?id=-rt9EAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30178","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=30178"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30178\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30186,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30178\/revisions\/30186"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
