Lady Hargrave, Delilah, has accompanied her older sister to New York. Both her sisters are older than Delilah and they have never been close, but the three sisters are trying to develop a relationship, which one of the reasons Delilah is in New York. While there, she meets a man who could make her forget all the rules of propriety; in fact, he does and the man she knows as Samuel Russell gives her one unforgettable night before she returns to England.

Samuel had declined the invitation to his best friend's wedding, but when a business trip takes him to Germany, he stops in England on his way home. Even if he won't admit that the wedding is not the only thing drawing him to England. Samuel has never forgotten the woman who gave him a memorable night.

As Samuel and Delilah meet again, sparks will fly. Delilah doesn't like being reminded of her peccadillo, and Samuel isn't about to allow her to get away with the same trick she used last time to escape him.

Ms. Alexander is known for her humorous writing and THE SCANDALOUS ADVENTURES OF THE SISTER OF THE BRIDE contains the innuendo she is known for. Delilah is a widow and the secrets of her marriage impede her ability to trust. When Samuel's former fiancée appears ready to rebuild their relationship, Delilah retreats.

Set against the backdrop of Delilah's sister's wedding, Delilah is able to hide her growing attraction to Samuel. Even with Camille caught up in the details of the wedding, when Beryl comes to join them, she ferrets out the attraction. With Beryl and Camille both working to show her the error of her ways, Delilah is afraid to admit how much she cares.

As a big fan of Ms. Alexander's, I love the battle of wits that takes place in THE SCANDALOUS ADVENTURES OF THE SISTER OF THE BRIDE. Ms. Alexander has a way of keeping the reader guessing about what is happening as Delilah and Samuel dance around each other. The reader will be caught up in the emotional tug of war as Delilah learns the truth of her first marriage.
