Jane Bunting is a talented baker, but she's still struggling
to keep her shop afloat. When Richard Moore, Lord Raleigh
storms through her front door and attacks her cousin, it's
the start of something that could destroy her business and
her life.
A TASTE FOR SCANDAL is a sweet romance with a lot of heat
but nothing explicit. Author Erin Knightley has crafted a
truly enjoyable story peopled with strong, likeable
characters, and a couple of nasties for conflict. Jane and
Richard don't like each other at all, at first, but they're
polite people who realize they may have been mistaken. It
doesn't take long for them to start seeing that good in each
other.
Jane has a difficult life, running the shop and caring for
her younger brother. Her sailor cousin's return from the
sea, while helpful in some ways, is also quite disrupting.
Richard has troubles of his own at home. And of course,
they're all wrong for each other. A common baker and the
heir to a marquisate can't possibly have a future together.
I had a wonderful time reading this book. Knightley is so
descriptive, especially of the delightful scents in Jane's
kitchen. Richard and Jane and their families are a pleasure
to spend time with and I raced through the book.
Fortunately, it's the second in a series about Richard's
family, and I'm looking forward to spending more time with
them in the future.
A TASTE FOR SCANDAL is perfect for readers who enjoy
historical or Regency novels, a little cooking mixed in with
their romance, and a love story that leaves the lovemaking
to your imagination.
A TEMPTING DIVERSION
Things have always fallen into place for Richard Moore,
Earl
of Raleigh. His good looks, abundance of charm, and the
small matter of being heir to a marquisate make him quite
the catch. So when a delectable young woman wants nothing
to
do with him, he can't help but seize the irresistible
challenge.
AN UNLIKELY COURTSHIP
Jane Bunting knows all about responsibility—she has
managed to support herself and her brother with their
bakery—but she knows nothing of excitement or passion.
When dashing Lord Raleigh crosses the threshold of her
shop,
she has no idea of the potential danger to her
reputation...or to her heart.
AN IMPOSSIBLE MATCH
Neither imagined things would go so far—until the
night their worlds collide, irrevocably changing both
their
lives. But when duty calls for Richard, and with
everything
Jane's worked for suddenly at stake, will their taste for
scandal be their downfall?
