SHE'S TAKING CHARGEPrim, proper, and thrifty, Eve Dinwoody is all business when it comes to protecting her brother's investment. But when she agrees to control the purse strings of London's premier pleasure garden, Harte's Folly, she finds herself butting heads with an infuriating scoundrel who can't be controlled.HE'S RUNNING THE SHOWBawdy and bold, Asa Makepeace doesn't have time for a penny-pinching prude like Eve. As the garden's larger-than-life owner, he's already dealing with self-centered sopranos and temperamental tenors. He's not about to let an aristocratic woman boss him around . . . no matter how enticing she is.BUT LOVE CONQUERS ALLIn spite of her lack of theatrical experience-and her fiery clashes with Asa-Eve is determined to turn Harte's Folly into a smashing success. But the harder she tries to manage the stubborn rake, the harder it is to ignore his seductive charm and raw magnetism. There's no denying the smoldering fire between them-and trying to put it out would be the greatest folly of all . . .

By Karwyn Elizabeth Hoyt’s newest book The Sweetest Scoundrel is a darker read than some of her other Maiden Lane novels. It actually harkened back to her first book in the series Wicked Intentions. If you have read the Maiden Lane books, which I believe is a ‘must read’ for any historical romance reader, you will know that Eve Dinwoody the female protagonist, is the illegitimate sister of Valentine Napier the Duke of Montgomery, who just happens to be a blackmailing blackhearted rogue, to anyone but sweet Eve. Which just happens to make Montgomery an utterly delicious bad boy Duke.So Eve has a very dark past, kind of the gut check type past and it may make some readers uncomfortable, Hoyt does not sugar coat the horror that Eve suffered in her young life. Eve despite being a strong formidable woman has been damaged greatly by past events and she is still haunted and stuck emotionally because of them.The male protagonist of this story is Asa Makepeace. The mysterious brother of the Makepeace siblings whom have been featured throughout the Maiden Lane Series. I simply adore all of of Hoyt’s characters, but Asa unlike his other siblings did not have anyone in his family to rely on since he was nineteen years old. He has purposely kept himself apart from his family for the past fifteen or so years, and it has shaped him into the man in The Sweetest Scoundrel. Asa has had one singular drive to be a success in the business that he thrust himself into. The business ripped his family away from him and then became a pseudo family, the reasons for all this are revealed in Hoyt’s book. He has lived and breathed working since her left his family. He is stubborn and tenuous, in how he deals with everyone.So the story goes, Asa and Eve met, and they mix about as well as oil and water. They are both strong willed and are not that willing to bow to each others wishes. Hmmm…. you are wondering how they met, well Eve just happens to be overseeing her brother’s investments in Asa’s business. In fact Eve holds the purse strings to Asa’s business venture, and Asa is not too happy about this fact.Why should you plop down almost eight dollars to read this book? Because the sex is freaking hotter than hell fire. Asa has a deliciously filthy mouth on him, and uses it on the virginal Miss. Dinwoody, in not just words, but fire a need within Eve, that frankly scares and shocks the woman. Yes my kindle may have caught on fire several times, as Asa is a raw and totally virile man. Think a sexy 1741 Gerard Butler, he is not dandy and not any part metrosexual, he exudes sex, and raw power. Eve is sexually naive, but she’s fiery and can give as good as she gets. The darkness in her past makes her one of the better of Hoyt’s female characters. Hoyt has a marvelous dangerous plot, as part of this story, which forces both protagonist to confront their past and present lives. Despite the Duke of Montgomery, being absent in this book, his machinations are in full swing. This book was definitely helping to set up the next one in Hoyt’s series, as there was a minor plot point involving the absent Duke. Hoyt has the talent to wrap up a beautiful love story, but also left me wanting more in future Maiden Lane books. Shhh…. I heard it from a little birdie that the Duke of Montgomery is the next book. I think I just melted into a puddle.

The garden was in shambles, the opera didn't look like it would ever be staged, and Mr. Harte was a brutal animal."FINAL DECISION: The plot of the rebuilding a pleasure garden mirrors the rebuilding of Eve's own life and ability to find joy and happiness and pleasure after a horrible incident in her childhood. Sensual and emotional with a good dash of mystery and action, this is a great addition to a wonderful series.THE STORY: Asa Makepeace aka Mr. Harte is the owner of Harte's Folly -- a theater and pleasure garden. Rebuilding after a fire that destroyed his life's work, Asa entered into a deal with the devil when he took an investment from the Duke of Montgomery. Now Asa has the Duke's half sister Eve Dinwoody looking over his shoulder. The prim and proper Eve has agreed to oversee her brother's investment. The sensual and physical Asa frightens Eve even as she challenges him. An incident in her childhood has left her with a deep fear of men -- especially angry, violent ones. At the same time, Eve finds herself intrigued by the loud and brash Asa.OPINION: Hoyt once again creates unique characters that dazzle in many ways -- and in this case, she gives us regular looking people for the main characters -- not models in historical garb."His face wasn't pretty. The exact opposite, in fact. It was strong, lined, and fierce, and everything that was masculine. Everything that Eve most dreaded."Asa is bawdy, bold, emotional, earthy, and physical -- thus being reflective of the theater world he lives in. Impulsive and a bit wild, Asa is the black sheep and the last unmarried Makepeace sibling (the siblings make appearances here for fans of the Maiden Lane series). His relationship with Eve allows Asa to have quieter, more protective moments -- although he also protects her violently. Asa is sexy and earthy and definitely different from the outward appearances of the Makepeace family. Readers of the series know that underneath the reserve of the siblings there is definite heat. For Asa all the passion is on the surface and the quiet and reserve is hidden. Asa is determined, he never gives up. That quality is important here where he has to be patient with Eve, but refreshingly he doesn't treat her as fragile and unable to deal with life. Indeed, he believes she has been protected too much."Eve liked her quiet life."Eve is reserved and plain with a long beak-like nose (that Asa rudely insults). She wants a quiet controlled life. For over ten years, Eve has been placed in a bubble and protected from the things that frighten her. A horrible incident as a child has made Eve afraid of being touched by men or even being around angry, violent men. Although Eve sees herself as broken, Asa recognizes her as strong (he calls her a harpy). Eve fights in a quiet and polite fashion but she is strong and determined."She should be afraid of this man. Perhaps she was. Perhaps the hammering of her heart, the quickening of her breath were fear."What a romance that begins which Asa insulting Eve's nose! Asa and Eve have a contentious relationship from the beginning. The two fight but when Asa witnesses Eve's pain, his protective instincts toward her begin to turn the two from adversaries to friends and then to lovers. Asa not only calms Eve's fears by giving her control and opportunity to rebuild her own sexual identity.Wow this book is hot. Asa recognizes in Eve a passionate woman hidden away from the world. Because she is afraid of the touch of a man, Asa and Eve have some interesting sexual encounters before they finally engage in intercourse. There is one scene (no I won't give away spoilers) that is incredibly sexy and hot and the two never touch one another. Sexy and sensual and earthy but steeped in relationship and emotion so these are not gratuitous sex scenes but ones that are vital to the storyline.The plot involves the suspense of who is trying to stop the reopening of Harte's Folly and that threatens the lives of Asa and Eve. Closely connected with the couple, this plot is important to the romance itself.The book has one of Hoyt's trademark fairy tales to begin each chapter. Because there are often subtle and clever connections between the fairy tale and main story, puzzling out those connections is part of the enjoyment of the novel for me and I often (as I did here) re-read the fairy tale only at the end to appreciate the full story.WORTH MENTIONING: The line that made me anxious to read the next book: "Bridget Crumb kept the house of the wickedest man in England."CONNECTED BOOKS: SWEETEST SCOUNDREL is the ninth book in the Maiden Lane series. It can be read as a standalone but it closely connected with DARLING BEAST and DEAREST ROGUE (which form a mini trilogy in the series) and I recommend reading those first.STAR RATING: I give this book 4.5 stars.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. My oh my! Hot, sensuous and awesome romance! By Bookdivas This the 9th book in the Maiden Lane series. One of my favorite series for action packed and hot historical romance. If you have never read a book from this series, I would recommend starting with "Wicked Intentions" for better understanding of all the characters. Elizabeth Hoyt always writes really rich, complex, deep and beautiful characters. Every single book from this series is special and that is quite a feat when you have written 9 books in one series.This book is about Asa Makepeace and Eve Dinwoody. Asa is rebuilding his previously destroyed pleasure garden, Harte's Folly and Eve's brother has invested into the gardens and left Eve to manage the investment. When these two come together for the gardens, they argue and fight over decisions but in the end work together to make the garden a success. As they start spending more time with each other, sparks start flying and they slowly start falling in love. The story is beautifully written by Elizabeth Hoyt and keeps you entertained and on the edge of your seat till the very end. I finished the entire book within a few hours. Just could not put it down. Amazing new romance, so hot and sensuous in an even more amazing series! Would recommend to all historical romance lovers and I cannot wait to read Duke of Montgomery's book.Here are some of my favorite excerpts from the book:"It fell all at once, uncoiling heavily over her shoulders. She turned her head to look at him, suddenly shy. He was staring at her hair. “It’s beautiful,” he murmured, burying his fingers in the long tresses, gently working apart the strands, lifting and spreading them.“Like liquid gold.” He suddenly lifted the mass to his face. “And perfumed. Like flowers.” “Lily of the valley.” He made her feel exotic, still dressed in her sensible gray frock, only her hair loose about her shoulders. “Lily of the valley,” he murmured. “I’ll remember that scent forever now, and whenever I smell it again I’ll think of you, Eve Dinwoody. You’ll be haunting my tomorrows evermore.”"Sighhh...how can you not fall in love with Asa! Strong, vulgar but extremely romantic!"“You’re killing me, luv. Slaying me cut by beautiful cut. I’ll bleed away and die happy under you, Eve, my darling.”"
