Lord Perfect Book

Written September 12, 2015

4.3 Stars - Hilarious fun and the very best characters to imagine

I "read" Lord Perfect with help of the 10 hrs audiobook. Splendid narrated as always by a fantastic Kate Reading.

Wonderful amusing 10 hours of listening.



Mature historicals, by for example Loretta Chase, are the very best. This kind of witty humorous, amusing, playfully and slightly ironic told romances always do it for me. Narrated by a favorite voice, as here, and it is nearly full point again. ' Glad to know there is a high pile full with great Ms. Chase historicals to download and enjoy in the future.

*********************************************

Benedict Carsington, Viscount Rathbourne (heir to the Earl of Hargate) is maybe the absolute perfect aristocrat. 'Also called Mr Perfect .' Rathbourne is for a time the guardian to his thirteen-year-old nephew and godson Peregrine Dalmay, Earl of Lisle (the son of Benedict's deceased wife's brother, the Marquess of Atherton). One day visiting an Egyptian exhibition comes the boy in an argument and a fuss fight with a young girl (..whether women can become knights or not).

"Life is not an opera. Scenes belong on the stage."
The short-tempered Olivia's mother is a stunning beautiful struggling widow who learn kids to paint. Bathsheba Wingate is a woman people still talk about because her scandalous marriage years ago. She is also fortunate to have a bunch of infamous non liked ancestors from the DeLucey family. Nowadays is she living alone with her daughter in quite poor circumstances and is by society seen as a dangerous seductress.

Still a "lady" though and the usually stone-hearted Rathbourne is unusually enthusiastic about the dashing beauty Mrs Wingate. Then his struggling nephew needs art lessons. At once. The temperature rises and our proper tedious perfect, and to be honest quite stiff, Viscount begins to feel emotions and cravings he maybe shouldn't. Or?


'She gazed at him for a moment, up and down, then up again. Then, "Did your wife ever throw things at you?" she said.'

A hilarious catching running children adventure.
This PERFECT nobleman was so much fun to learn to know. A hero who had to fight to show his bravery, courage and strength trave with a widow who refused to behave like a lady in distress is refreshing. Add these two Wingate ladies which were the kind of "girls" I like to meet in my books - thirty-two or twelve years old.

Of course it ended grand, with some hot steamy moments here and there beyond the journey. ~ Looking forward to read about the other brothers in this big famous Carsington Family.

This wasn't my last historical this month. Addictive good audiobook as so often when I choose from this romance novel genre.

I LIKE - ridiculous much
