3.0 out of 5 stars
Providing book information,
By Gemma "bookworm" (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scandalous (Mass Market Paperback)
From the back cover:
A virtuous maid... Christine was shocked that she'd agreed to marry. And though her intended was the newest Lord Greenhaven and the son of her noble benefactor, Gavin Norfork was a notorious lover, gambler, and duelist. It was rumored he could seduce a woman at twenty paces. The dissolute aristocrat was clearly an unsuitable match for a virtuous orphan who had devoted her life to charity work. Even if he was the most handsome man she'd ever seen. A dirty trick... But her first attempt to scare him off ended only with mud on her face. And, suddenly finding herself wed to a man she hadn't even met, Christine found herself questioning her goals. Perhaps it was time to make her entree into London society, to meet Gavin on his own ground--and challenge him with his own tricks. The unrepentant rake thought she'd gotten dirty before, but he hadn't seen anything yet. Not only her husband could be scandalous--and not only Christine could fall in love.

Scandalous,
By
This review is from: Scandalous (Mass Market Paperback)
The reason I give Scandalous four stars instead of five is that Miss Thompson has made a few mistakes. The inheritance laws being incorrect did not bother me overly much. Nor did the few grammar errors.The thing that bothered me was the maid Tillie's habit of jumping back and forth between not having an accent and then suddenly having one. The first time this happened I was stunned. I was so involved in the book that the sudden accent had me turning back pages to see if I had missed something. I did not. For the first few chapters Tillie had no accent. And then suddenly she has to address her new master for the first time. You changed to ye. But Ye was not always ye. It changed back and forth. One time Tillie even said, "Thank ye, Your Lordship." Very strange, I thought. Yet,throughout the rest of the book this happen. In the same paragraph, she would have an alternating number of ye's and you's. One time Tillie dropped an H. Only once that I noticed. And then never again. I could have understood this if the author had explained somewhere that Tillie lapsed into an old accent when she was nervous, but that never happened. I know it sounds picky, but I am picky about the books I read. Very picky and things like this seem to jump off the page at me. This does not mean that I did not enjoy the book. Actually, I loved it. Other than the mistakes mentioned above, this book was very well written, the story (Exception, English Inheritance laws) very believable and the characters delightful! I loved the laugh out loud humor. Scandalous has the dialog was the best I have read in years even if some of the phrases were decidedly modern sounding. Buy the book and overlook the mistakes. It will be worth your while.

Steamy and Romantic,
By deefossen (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scandalous (Mass Market Paperback)
Scandalous is a regency-set book without all the constraints of some regencies. Christine is definitely not a character hindered by the strict rules of a strict society. She's a spit fire. And Gavin is, well, just plain mouth-watering. If you want steam and romance combined, then this is the book for you.
