A matchmaker born on the wrong side of the blanket, Sophie
Reynard has the gift of finding the perfect someone for what
seems like everyone but herself. Knowing she can never find
love with a highborn gentleman, given her illegitimacy,
Sophie nonetheless is determined to find the kind of happily
ever after she's given her friends. When she finds what she
thinks is the perfect non-aristocratic man to fall for,
Sophie discovers her mistake long after succumbing to a
night of passion. With no other option, Sophie disappears
from the gentleman's life, leaving no trace of her identity.
Nicholas Tenbury, Marquess of Ancroft, may not know who
Sophie is, but he's determined to find the enchanting woman
who stole his heart in just one night. With no success
through the usual means, Nicholas turns to a matchmaker to
help him in his search only to find the woman herself is
the matchmaker he goes to for help. When Sophie refuses to
marry him, Nicholas sets out to win her over with all his
seductive powers. He's not counting on Sophie's stubbornness
or her fear of society shunning Nicholas for marrying a
bastard. What began as a seduction soon turns into a battle
of wills with a lifetime of happiness at stake.
ONE NIGHT SCANDAL is the type of book that'll keep you
reading even though you know what's going to happen in the
story. Though fairly predictable, Christie Kelley has done a
great job of writing a story you
get immersed in, regardless of whether or not you know
what's going to happen. My only problem with the book was
that I thought it threw one too many obstacles in the way of
the couple on their road to happily ever after. It just got
to the point where I almost didn't care if they made it
together at the end, if they were going to be so stupid and
careless. Though, as absorbed as I was in the book, there
was no way I was going to put it down, no matter how annoyed
I became with the characters. All in all, a well written
book and a great way to pass a few hours.
Born on the wrong side of the blanket, matchmaker Sophie
Reynard understands the consequences of unbridled desire all
too well. Despite the many highborn friends she has matched,
falling in love with an aristocrat without a pedigree of her
own would be an act of futility. But that doesn't stop her
from succumbing to one evening of anonymous
passion...Nicholas Tenbury, Marquess of Ancroft, knows
nothing of Sophie's lineage. He knows only that the
enchanting beauty captured his heart in one night and then
fled, leaving no trace of her identity. But when he seeks
answers from London's finest matchmaker, he finds none other
than the woman herself - stubbornly refusing to acknowledge
the attraction they share! Now the enamored Marquess has no
choice but to sway Sophie with seduction...
