Customer Reviews

Pleasant though not light-hearted reading

Descriptions of this book make so much of the fact Lord Shandal gets a peek at Miss Ashley Madison in her bath but that is just one little incident that happens. Of course having caught a peek at her, Brandon (Lord Shandal) liked what he saw. Later, he finds out (as Ashley does) that they are to make a match of it. Brandon's mother and best friend (Ashley's aunt) have decided these two will marry. Ashley is dependent upon her aunt and uncle since her new sister-in-law has literally driven her from the house with barely the clothes on her back. It is a marriage of convenience but Ashley with her winning ways soon charms Brandon to live down the name "Lord Scandal." I found it charming that Ashley was so reluctant and frightened to consummate the marriage. After all, though Brandon was handsome, he was a stranger. They work out those problems as well as the others that crop up along the way - including a irksome sister-in-law and her indebted brother. And there is the scandal of Brandon's current mistress - she appears at the house! How shocking! This is a well paced book, but not particularly light hearted. It envelopes you in the life of a woman forced to marry and forced (she thinks) to take second place in her husband's affections as was many a woman in those times. Good and pleasant reading.
