Book Reviews of Never Seduce a Scoundrel (The School for Heiresses, Book 1)Book Review: Liked the love story, hated the plot resolution Summary: 3 StarsI'm a big fan of Sabrina Jeffries and I've been hunting down all her novels since I read her Prince series and this is the last of her currently available titles for me to read and my least favorite. The love story was good, nothing stellar, but nothing annoying (although I just finished London's Highlander in Love so most any love pairing has to be better than that one).
Now for this one, the hero and heroine and good, at times affectionate and caring and not spending the whole story bickering or arguing. I liked that he came to investigate her stepmother, but hated that there's no real resolution to the plot. Not to spoil anything, but no one is punished for any of the horrible things the author mentions: not the masssacre, which may be historical fact but I wish there would have been some sort of resolution to it other than the hero just accepting it and moving on or the plot about the missing money or suicide. The author builds the reader up to sort of expect something to happen and then it doesn't and the entire ending of the book feels rushed and anticlimactic.
I'm a big fan of Star Trek DS9 and in Star Trek there are often A and B plots and that's sort of true for many romance novels too,. There's the love story plot and the everything else pllot and both need to be good for a novel to be good. I'd give the romance 4 stars, but the rest of the story 2 stars. The averages out to 3 stars and an unsatisfying read. So if you are a person who likes for authors to punish villains and injustice and all that stuff, I'd advise avoiding this book because the only thing that get's resolved is the love story and the lack of resolution for eveything else will drive you crazy.
