Prince of Persuasion Sins and Scoundrels Book 2 edition by Scarlett Scott Dragonblade Publishing Romance eBooks Reviews

• This book was uncannily similar to a book written a dozen years ago by Gail Ranstrom called “Unlacing Lilly.” They both featured heroes who were the bastard sons of noblemen seeking revenge on their fathers for the untimely deaths of their mothers through the ruination of the fiancés of their half brothers. As convoluted as that storyline is, it is a remarkable coincidence in my eyes. I actually liked that book much better as well. There was a little too much internal dialogue in this book as well as sloppy editing. It was still entertaining, thus the three stars.
• Is it because it was a revenge book that I needed more time to read it?
  Revenge is with triangle love one of my least favorite trope, both deal with secrets that only bring pain and heartache.
  I do liked the first part when Frederica and Duncan get to know each other, their interactions, how they play their game of cat and mouse but always respecting the other.
  But even they keep secrets from another, each one planning to use the other for its own benefit.
  Once the betrayal was revealed, the story takes an other turn, they begin to realize they care more than the usual for another but also the masks of the people around them fall, and it is not very pretty to see what lay behind.
  I liked both main characters, sure Frederica is very naive as was alas the sheltered women in these times, but she has a goal, once outside her rank and perfectly unsuitable for a lady but she does not deter and tries to reach it.
  Duncan raised himself from the gutters, building his own wealth and name but inside himself, a little boy won’t find peace until he get revenge for his mother’s treatment and death. Alas his ire against a special peer and his encounter with Lady Frederica Isling do not mix well.
  At a time, he will have to make a choice, but will she be willing to give him a chance too?
  I was glad it was not a too angsty read, the main problems were misconceptions and miscommunication. From the beginning, they are well for one another, each understanding the other. They will just need to see their feelings for the other endangered to get the right decisions.
  A 4,5 stars rate.
• London, 1812 "He noticed the fellow's arse first." Duncan Kirkwood could only stare as the "gentleman" in his exclusive gaming club bent over. But of course he eventually figured out it was a girl dressed as a man and it happened to be Lady Frederica Isling, daughter of a duke. What was she doing in The Duke's Bastard? She was doing research for her book, that's what! Of course he could see below her garb she was a lady and it eventually came out who she was, that is after she was exposed to some rather risque' entertainment!
  A volatile attraction seemed to ignite between the two, but Freddy is an innocent. She had no idea she may be the key to Duncan's revenge plot against his real father. The man who ignores him and caused his mother's death. He didn't name his club the Duke's Bastard for nothing!
  What starts out as a chance encounter (ok Freddy had been determined to get into the club) began to change into something else. Scarlett Scott always pulls me into the story and this one tugged at the emotions. Duncan was a very strong, determined man and had pulled himself up from nothing. Freddy only wanted to write stories and not marry the man her parents insisted on.
  Sizzling heat, a few twists and even humor at times make this an amazing story not to be missed!! Cannot wait for the next in this series!!
• Finding a very odd man in his gambling establishment, Duncan Kirkwood soon realized that he was mistaken-it was definitely a female. Quickly making “her” acquaintance, he realized that he had been given a gift. Frederica needed to finish her novel and visiting the Bastard, a well known venue that catered to men, was the perfect place for research. Duncan was very determined to shock this female, but was soon aware that shock would not be her reaction. Intrigued, he and the lady soon negotiate return visits to supplement her novel and he becomes more aware of his feelings for her. Frederica doesn’t realize his alternative motive until it is too late.
  I didn’t like the hero for most of the book. His anger had become his sole purpose of life, but the author’s storyline is a well written redemption for him. This second book in the series will keep you interested until the very last page.
• Gaming hell? Yes. Gorgeous owner of said gaming hell? Yes. Woman who wants to stand on her own and be what she wants to be? Yes. Enough said. I knew this story would be great based on Duncan’s appearance in the last book and it was fantastic. The story is so lovely and edge of your seat – will their differences in social standing work, will the villain see justice, why can’t I stop reading the story? Another wonderful story from Ms. Scott.
• In this book you will meet Duncan Kirkwood and Lady Frederica Isling. All Frederica wanted to do was to be left along and write her novel “ The Silent Baron”. To further her research she feels that she should visit the gaming house The Duke’s Bastard, which is the most fashionable and notorious gambling hell in London. This gaming house is owned by Duncan Kirkwood.
  Duncan’s father is the Duke of Amberley and his mother was his mistress until she became pregnant with Duncan.
  Love, revenge, evilness and uncaring parents are entwined in this story.
• The book had a very good storyline with great characters and plot. I especially appreciated the cleverness in the naming of the club, with the obvious reference and the inferred ones. I really enjoyed reading this book.
• I absolutely enjoyed reading this book very much. I can't wait to read the next book in the Sins and Scoundrels series.
