Lady Corinne wants a man who is honorable and respected.
That are not the words to describe her fiance, Lord Freddie
Sherwin. Since her father wont listen to her pleas of not
wanting to marry the despicable Lord Sherwin, Corinne
decides to take action for herself. Running away until after
the wedding may have sounded like a great plan until she finds
herself in the company of the notorious highwayman Thorn.
Some suspicions are confirmed and others are proven wrong as
she hides from her unwanted marriage and blackmails a
suspected felon for his help.
Cathy Maxwell delivers a wonderful tale with THE SEDUCTION
OF SCANDAL. Lady Corinne is a woman who wants only an
upstanding husband who she could love and respect for his
actions. She knows that the man she is being forced to marry
is not this type of gentleman. Corinne lets her emotions
lead her actions and it gets her into trouble more then once
through out this tale. She does act like the spoiled
daughter of a duke at first but her actions tend to be for
the better good for those around her. The mysterious
highwayman Thorn is portrayed as a cold-blooded murderer
and thief but turns out to be an honorable man who only
wants to protect the people of the village. Both characters
draw the reader into the story through badly thought out
plans and humorous interactions with each other. The
mysteries of Thorn's heritage will pull the reader deeper
into the story.
THE SEDUCTION OF SCANDAL is the type of book that you
continue thinking about after you have read the last page. I
was drawn into the story to the point that I did not want it
to end. This is the first book written by Cathy Maxwell that
I have read and I assure you, it will not be the last.
The Seduction of Scandal—the fifth book in New York Times
and USA Today bestselling author Cathy Maxwell’s
Scandals
and Seduction historical romance series—is a thrilling tale
complete with secret identities and runaway brides, a
notorious English highwayman and dangerous intrigues…and, of
course, wildly passionate love!
This is romance, adventure, sensuality, and wit blended to
perfection—ideal for fans of Christina Dodd and Victoria
Alexander—as a strong-willed hellion fleeing an unwanted
arranged marriage is taken captive by a Robin Hood-like
criminal...and discovers in his arms just how delightfully
seductive scandal can be!
