What's great about Loretta Chase is her strong heroines. These are no helpless virgins waiting for rescue. While the ladies may still have their maidenheads, they are fully women who are trying to take charge of their lives, have professions, and ideas of their own.

Chase breaks from historical romance tradition by having heroines who are rarely of the aristocracy, but they are still aristocratic. They're sensible, proud, and regal. Especially so is Lydia Grenville, a news reporter who runs afoul of Vere Mallory, the Duke of Ainswood. Their banter, oneupmanship, and bickering covers obvious attraction and leads to a lot of unique situations. Mostly with Ainswood finding himself on the losing end.

Bertie Trent, brother of Jessica from Lord of Scoundrels, is a core character in this book. He's still an idiot but he's lovable and loyal and finally gets his due in this story.

If you're reading this series, don't miss The Mad Earl's Bride, which is only available in anthology (Three Weddings and a Kiss). It's long enough to almost be a novella and absolutely worth the read.

These books don't need to be read in order, and I think the first two, Lion's Daughter, and Captives of the Night, could be skipped.

The last three are worth reading in order.
