After a life of poverty, Miss Cleopatra Hadley learns her
father is one of the richest men in London and he's willing
to share his wealth if she marries into a title. Cleopatra
would do anything to save her half brothers and sisters
from living in squalor and agrees to find herself a
lord, one who will never be able to cause the same
suffering as her mother.
Lord Logan McKinney needs an heiress to restore his
ancestral Scottish castle, take care of his siblings, and
improve his people's lives. He's begun to think all English
heiresses vapid and irritating until he meets Cleo. She's
everything he wants in a bride, but can he convince her
that he's what she needs as well?
LESSONS FROM A SCANDALOUS BRIDE is book two in the
Forgotten Princesses series by Sophie Jordan. I
haven't
read the first book but have added it to my wish list of
books. The circumstances surrounding Cleo, her sisters, and
her father who is trying to make amends make for a tense,
emotion filled back story.
The romance between Logan and Cleo is rather sweet. There
are plenty of sparks flying between them for sure, but
these are two people who are struggling to save those they
love. They're good people who deserve good things. Their
motivations are deeply felt, especially Cleo's. Her fears
are well portrayed and completely relatable. This fear is
the basis of Cleo and Logan's conflict and that internal
dilemma drives this fast-paced story.
LESSONS FROM A SCANDALOUS BRIDE is a wonderfully, sweet
story that will bring a smile
to your face as you read. LESSONS FROM A SCANDALOUS BRIDE
by Sophie Jordan is fun, romantic, and heart-felt.
No one knows this better than Miss Cleopatra Hadley, who
went from poverty to plenty when she discovered one of
England's richest men was her true father who wanted her to
share his wealth . . . if she married into the upper
echelons of Society. A high price to pay for someone whose
mother taught her just how dangerous a marriage could be.
An imposing yet impoverished Scots nobleman, Lord Logan
McKinney knows he must wed some vapid title-hunter with a
substantial dowry in order to restore his once-thriving
estate. Having the vibrant Cleo nearby, however, makes his
task even more unpalatable—for she tempts him like no other
woman . . . just as he's precisely the sort of man she most
fears: exciting, unpredictable, fiercely passionate. But
when attraction proves too powerful, they succumb to a kiss
that quickly leads to lessons too scandalous for even the
darkest nights . . .
