Scoundrel of My Heart

3.5 stars. Took me a while to realise that the hero is the brother to the heroine of the Beauty Tempts the Beast heroine. Frankly I wasn't terribly swept up by the couple's love story. It felt like something I've read a 100x times before. In fact, I was set to hate the heroine because she came off as a gold digger in the first few chapters. But once I knew why she had to snag a duke, I was a wee more sympathetic to her. Still, the plot was very common, so to speak, and I was about to give up on page 90 when things picked up a few pages later. That's when the Beauty Tempts the Beast couple makes a brief experience, which perked my interest a wee bit. Now I'm really curious about the fate of Griff's brother, Marcus, who seems like a more interesting fellow ...
Really enjoyed this one - I haven't read a ton of the “helping your friend/enemy get engaged, whoops I love them” trope (which has to have a better name than that). Loved the chemistry between these two, and this set me off on a mission to read all the Sins for All Seasons books, since this is a spinoff of the last one. There are too many books to read and not enough time!!
