"It is a true joy to listen to Patricia Cabot's unique voice."--Romantic Times
Product Description
When beautiful Kate Mayhew is hired as chaperone to Burke Traherne's headstrong daughter Isabel, the Marquis finds himself in an impossible predicament. Torn between the knowledge that she is exactly what Isabel needs but also, for him, the worst possible temptation, he finds himself in constant proximity with someone who threatens his independence. Known for his steely self-control since the day he caught his wife with a lover, Burke has vowed never to risk marriage again.
In accepting his lordship's offer of employment, the feisty Kate faces two perils; her wild attraction to a man who has sworn off love, and a date with her own scandalous past...which she cannot keep secret forever.

TURN UP THE AIR-COND. ! A HYSTERICAL ROMP ! WHAT A HOOT !!!!,
This review is from: A Little Scandal (Mass Market Paperback)
This book swept me up & had me in stitches up to the sooo-happy ending !!! Grouchy heroes always tug at my heart, but this one scores even higher 'cuz of his Italian temper & reluctant protectiveness towards the love of his life. Not a lot of novels out there feature a spoiled brat to spice up the story. The 1st encounter where Kate almost - and let me quote - 'endangered Burke's hopes of siring an heir' is hilarious & it gets even better since then on. No matter what the other scathing reviews said, I LUUUV this extremely funny, merry, passionate tale of 2 lovable characters fighting their hopeless attraction. It's well-written, fast-paced, overflowing w/ witty banters, dynamite chemistry, crisp plot & sensual love-scenes. In short, it's a page-turner ! This is only Ms. Cabot's 3rd book that I've read (after Lady of Skye & Improper Proposal) but she's on my must-buy list. It'll charm the wits out of ya !!!

gentlemanly conduct,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Little Scandal (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read Where Roses Grow Wild, Portrait Of My Heart, and A Little Scandal, and would rate them above average. However, one thing disturbs me. In all three novels, the heroines end up living in the same house as the hero, who is in a more powerful position. As gentleman, the men in a household are supposed to protect those in the women in their homes, and definitely not take advantage of them (i.e. Regency Buck, by Georgette Heyer). Yet time and again, the heroes in Patricia Cabot's books take the innocence of the heroines living under their roof, and feel no twinge of conscience, no betrayal of honor. I don't admire the men that much, they seem to have little honor concerning their "own" womenfolk.

BETTER LUCK WITH NEXT BOOK....,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Little Scandal (Mass Market Paperback)
I also tried to like this book because it sounded cute. I also liked her first book - Where Roses Grow Wild very much. I was hoping for a repeat peformance, but this book falls flat with both the character development and the plot. It was truly uninspiring and boring. I only finished the book because I spent good money on it. I am hoping I like the next book better.
