5.0 out of 5 stars
Providing back cover blurb,
By Gemma "bookworm" (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scandals (Mass Market Paperback)
From the back cover:
A compromising position... Victoria Hawthorne was merely stealing a kiss in the hayfield when her fatehr caught her. But to have the gossips of the ton tell it, she was no more than a common strumpet. What they didn't know was that she and Ned Thomas were in love--and she intended to run away with him as soon as she returned from her London Season. A tarnished reputation... Although her dance card was blank, the rumors could not keep one handsome suitor at bay: Steede Warring, eighth earl of Blackstone. Condemned by society for his wife's tragic death, known behind his back as the Brute, he would have Victoria as his bride, even if he had to trick her into elopment. Resenting this man who dared keep her from her true love, Victoria was now helpless to escape the marriage bed. But she could not know that Steede would uncover her body's hidden pleasures, and show her that only faith and trust could cast aside the pain of bitter scandals.

100% genuine twak,
By jocobeth (Pretoria, South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scandals (Mass Market Paperback)
Firstly let me put it on record that the only reason I've given this book a star at all is because you have to but in my opinion this was actually surposed to be a starless review.I made the mistake of buying this book after I read Neri's previous novel Stolen, which I thought was a darn good read, I whish I had saved my hard earned cash. This book was one of the most boringest book I've ever had the misfortune to come across, the dialogue was so " Oh, come on", the story line in itself was dismall, the characters totaly boring and lifeless not to mention childish. I find it hard to believe that the heroine could fill her days just supervising the staff and spend half the day choosing what to wear and how to arrange her hair.I must say this is one of the most awful romance novel ever written, I don't mean to put Miss Neri down for as I mentioned earlier, Stolen (her other novel) was very good, but this book should have never been published. I was ready to give up on this book after the seventh chapter but persevered due to the fact that I never leave a book unfinished, and I had spent good money on it, but believe me this was a very painful read. I recommend that one should rather read Stolen instead of this one, or better yet,buy a book from Connie Mason.

Unbelievable plot; hero deserved a better heroine,
By Anne M. Marble "Anne" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scandals (Mass Market Paperback)
I was really, really looking forward to reading this book. It combined a Victorian setting with a classic Gothic plot, and it had a heroine who had been unfairly tarred by scandal. All elements I love to read about.However, you can have all those elements and still have a book that simply does not work. Why? The heroine. Sometimes, she's clever -- but most of the time, she does stupid things. She yearns for the cad who almost took her virginity. And worst of all, she suspects the charming hero of murder -- even though there is no evidence at all. Steede deserved better than this! To make matters worse, the plot hinged on coincidence after coincidence, with gaping holes in logic. I gave this book an F at All About Romance. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

I liked it,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scandals (Mass Market Paperback)
I found the characters in this book a little too good to be true, but I like how I didn't have to wait too long for Steede and Victoria to realize their love. And then the story continued to an even happier ending. Wonderful book.
