3.0
The Last Wicked Scoundrel
3 Star
Series note: This novella concludes the Scoundrels of St. James series and brings readers full circle to the results of the events presented in book #1. Consequently, it is recommended that the books be read in order.
The story focuses on Dr. William Graves, the last member of Feagan's gang, and Winnie, Duchess of Avendale. As this is a novella, events proceed at a rapid pace and readers are quickly immersed in the plot revolving around Winnie's fears of an unknown intruder. Nevertheless, there is some good character development in terms of William's past and Winnie's transition from an abused wife to a strong and confident woman.
In sum, this is a satisfying albeit rather short conclusion to the series. The story does continue in the spin-off series focusing on the various Scoundrel's children.
