Loretta Chase, The Devil's Delilah

[oyceter]

I actually had a bit of a hard time getting into the book at first, because I wasn't really accustomed to the narrative voice. After only having read one Loretta Chase, I wasn't sure if the narrator was being funny or not. I mean, I could tell, but I don't think I was in the right mindset or something to immediately fall into it.

That said, I had giant amounts of fun, and I adore the narrative voice and all the "meanwhile.."'s.

I also adore the Devil... does he have his own book?

And finally we have a nice, bookish hero who is decidedly not rakish or anything of the sort, a rather hoyden-ish Delilah, and assorted mishaps trying to recover her father (the Devil)'s memoirs, which, if published, may ruin her chance at a respectable marriage.

No book for Devil, alas, although Knaves' Wager is about Jack's friends. This one is my favorite of Chase's traditional Regencies, though.

Knaves' Wager is as well? I read that one before this, and I may have missed the connections -- I have an awful memory for names.

No -- The Devil's Delilah is my favorite, and Knaves' Wager is so vague that I confused it with The Viscount Vagabond, which is actually the one where Jack doesn't get the girl.
