Jasmone says: Well, that was exciting! There was a lot more humor in "Perfect Scoundrels" (I love the Bagshaw brothers) and while I was a little worried about Hale going crazy (ie: Not staying with Kat), it was enjoyable. Content wise: There were kisses (up to semi-detailed); mentions of a womanizer and hints of affairs; A couple mentions of cleavage; Curses are said not written; Gabrielle's legs and short skirts are mentioned a handful of times (not as much as Book #1, but not as clean as #2.); ...Hale also gets drunk (which is brushed over since his grandmother did just die, but IMO I wasn't a fan of that part.).(Bunny trail) Also: Since this Hale is a Fifth, wouldn't all the other W. W. Hales have the same first name? Does no one else really know their names? I would think that Kat could find it out. Yes, I totally am curious on what Hale's names are. osterov says: so, i started this book right on the heels of finishing book 2, and once again i'd have to say i really liked it. as i was reading, i was probably closer to almost 4 star level enjoyment, but once i finished and thought over it, i realized that my suspension of disbelief ability is quite high WHILE reading a book like this, but once it's over and i really think about the plot, etc. the implausibility really sets in. i still REALLY liked the characters (hale in particular is a favorite), but as dumb as it sounds, i feel conflicted routing for characters with questionable ethics -- even if some of them are "reformed" thieves/trying to do the right thing. it's kind of like watching the movie ocean's 11 -- did i want them to get away with robbing the casino? yes! but then i felt bad wanting them to succeed, because stealing is stealing and it's wrong. ya know? hahaha. anyway, i would still file this firmly in the category of "3 stars -- i liked it." :)MoreLessRead More Read Less
