Books by Loretta Chase
Narrated by Kate Reading
The Last Hellion is the last of the four books in Ms Chase’s Scoundrels series, which are linked via a number of recurring characters; and it can perhaps be seen as a sequel to the wonderful Lord of Scoundrels. We met Vere Mallory, Duke of Ainswood, in that story when, ...

Originally published in 1990, Viscount Vagabond is one of Loretta Chase’s earliest historical romances, and one which has only recently come to audio along with a handful of other titles such as Isabella, The English Witch and Knave’s Wager. It’s a lighthearted ...
I’ve enjoyed the previous two novels in this series (which I’ve listened to rather than read), but I think this might be my favourite of the series so far. It’s one of those books I found hard to put down and couldn’t help gobbling up, no matter how much I wanted to read it slowly so it didn ...
Kate Reading’s narration of Loretta Chase’s Lord of Scoundrels is an audio triumph, an absolutely perfect meshing of one of the best historical romances with a nuanced and note-perfect performance by a highly talented narrator. Naturally, seeing that Ms. Reading had been engaged to narrate the a ...
Can a beautiful, conniving, brilliant French dressmaker find true love with a gorgeous, straight-forward, not so bright English Earl?

We’ve often discussed at AAR what books we would include in a “Conversion Kit” to bring non-romance readers over to the joy of the genre. Last Night’s Scandal, showcasing a great writer at the absolute top of her game, is most assuredly in mine.
Honestly, I liked, but didn’t love Don’ ...
I have read Lord of Scoundrels three times now. The first time in 1999 when I discovered AAR’s Desert Isle Keeper page (back when there was a special page), again in 2004 after it won the #1 slot on that year’s Top 100 Romances poll, and this last month for AAR’s Book Club. From reading to r ...
Loretta Chase rarely lets me down. Very rarely. And, I’m happy to say that Don’t Tempt Me certainly didn’t disappoint. Chase brings all the things she does so well to the table yet again in this one as humor, witty dialogue, and well-fleshed out characters are all present and accounted for.

Writing reviews is normally pretty easy for me. But I’ve been putting off writing this one for days now and I think I finally figured out why. When a book is this good, it’s a challenging task to make certain I’ve adequately conveyed that fact to readers.
To put my reaction to this book int ...
