Viscount Vagabond by Loretta Chase

I really liked this book and would rate it a strong 4 stars.  This is definitely where Ms. Chase learned her ability to make characters, both male and female, interesting and unique.  Max was perfect!  He was, to me, like most young men...a little selfish, kind, easily spooked, and decent.  Catherine was a perfect match for him.  His sister was a great character also, it is nice to read about supportive families.  The friend Jack was also great and I enjoyed his book as well.

The boy Jemmy was a great addition to the book because he really brought out the best in both Max and Catherine, even if they didn't see it.  Loved the ending and the way everything was tied up with the various fiances that were hanging about.  This is definitely an old throw-back novel without much heat, but a very nice story.
