London Harcourt's father is bent on subjugating the world's magic to British rule. But since London is a mere female, he hasn't bothered to tell her so. He's said only that he's leading a voyage to the Greek isles. No matter, after a smothering marriage and three years of straitlaced widowhood, London jumps at the opportunity - unfortunately, right into the arms of Bennett Day. Bennett is a ladies' man, when he's not dodging lethal attacks to protect the powers of the ancients from men like London's father. Sometimes, he's a ladies' man even when he is dodging them.

I totally loved Victoria Regina Gloriana Lon...
With Scoundrel, Ms. Archer takes us adventure-loving romantics on a splendid journey around the Aegean Sea on the hunt for mystical treasure. Readers who enjoy Indiana Jones will get a kick out of this book, with its very real magic and a dash of steampunk-like adventure.London is an admirable hero...
Whatever didn't work in Warrior, worked in Scoundrel. Perhaps it was just the characters themselves. Our H, a veritable playboy, runs into our h, the daughter of the enemy (though he doesn't know it at the time) and is... obsessed with seeing her again? maybe? I dunno. Whatever he is, when he ...
I am happy to say that SCOUNDREL is even better than WARRIOR was! I loved Bennett and London together, and I really cannot wait for Astrid in the next book.
