![]() I’m brand new to historicals I read one or two only this past year and realized, hey, I love these! Once I realized this (and aren’t you sort of jealous? Because look at the feast I have before me, all these amazing books unread!) I thought, hell, I’m going start with the best historical ever. ![]() My favorite Loretta Chase book: Lord of Scoundrels! It has, in spades, what I have come to call the “loretachaseness” factor: a very distinctive style recognizable anywhere with its alternating third person narrative (usually of the same scene), detailed historical research, a genius for entertainingly clever dialogue, a knack for creating amusing scenes, strong heroines and drool worthy heroes.īut even though Lord of Scoundrels is my favorite, there is another book by Loretta Chase that has very recently, captured a piece of my heart: The Lion’s Daughter. Lord of Scoundrels is not only my favorite romance novel but it also managed to smuggle itself into a very high position into my top 10 favorite books of all time, alongside the likes of Lord of the Rings and The Sandman. It was right after reading Lord of Scoundrels that I was able to hold my head high and say “Yes, I read romance novels and I am proud of it”. ![]() ![]() If I started reading romance because of Julia Quinn, it was Loretta Chase who cemented it for me. ![]()
