Lord of Scoundrels was #1 on the AAR poll, won awards, and is all-time favorite romance of many. Because of its good rep, I thought I'd love it as much as everyone else. Nope. Clearly something must be wrong with me since I can't seem to rave about this book. It's just a regular romance, nothing spectacular, in my opinion. I liked it, the banter and bickering was entertaining enough. However, most romances that I really enjoy I can finish in a day or so. This one took me a week and most of the time I just wanted to put it down and not even finish it. I think the one thing that stood out to me was the heroine (she's the reason I gave this 3 stars). I loved her. I usually find myself completely loving the hero but not this time. She was independent, charming, tough, gutsy (hello, she purposely shot the hero without even blinking a eye lol), witty, smart...I could go on and on.. Sometimes these type of heroines can be a bit annoying but LC did a great job with her, Jessica was one of the best written heroines I've ever come across.
This was a nice little book about a small town where everyone knows everybody's business - nearly. Most of the characters in this novel either have a secret hope for their futures, secrets that haunt them in their pasts, or feelings they keep a secret even from themselves. Cape Light has strongly Christian themes about giving oneself over to God's hands and letting God handle things. I'm not religious and expected that the Christian backbone would be distracting from the main story, but I was pleasantly surprised. The characters' faith, or lack thereof, was very much a part of each of them, and believable for the most part. Overall Cape Light was a pleasant read and I even came away from the book learning a couple of lessons.
This book is the SHIT!!!
