John, the Earl of Wrexham, is a war hero who is
passionate
about politics and making a difference for those who need
a
voice. But he is also a father to ten year old Prescott,
an
adventurous, spirited boy who desperately needs a mother.
John has resigned himself to finding a bride but is
adamant
that his future wife must be intelligent. Passion and
love play no part
in his search, much to the dismay of his sister. Prescott
has
other ideas of what he needs in a mother and has plenty
of
tricks up his sleeve to get what he wants.
Olivia Sloane is everything her mother and society
dislikes -
opinionated, outspoken, and intelligent. Having no
interest in
getting married, Olivia is quite happy with the life she
has
built for herself, but she is willing to attend balls, if
it
will help her two younger sisters find love. But life for
Olivia changes in so many ways when she meets the Earl of
Wrexham, because she finds in him a kindred spirit buried
beneath
his controlled demeanour, even if they do snap at each
other
sometimes. When John requests her help with a speech, it
is
not long before their intense connection explodes into
passion. With secret identities, misunderstandings,
childish
pranks, politics and kidnapping, is there any hope of
John and
Olivia carving out a future together? Or is their love
just
too scandalous to survive?
SCANDALOUSLY YOURS by Cara Elliott effortlessly
transported
me back to Regency England, and introduced me to
characters
that I fell hopelessly in love with. John is intelligent,
handsome and caring, but he is floundering with regards
to his
son and fears he is making many mistakes with him.
I adore
Olivia and her sisters. Headstrong, independent and
spirited,
Olivia goes after what she wants, and is proud of her
intelligence. But she also has a softer, more vulnerable
side
which is so endearing. I found myself wishing that John
would unlock this side of her.
With plenty of adventure,
danger, and sizzling romance, SCANDALOUSLY YOURS by Cara
Elliott truly gripped me from the beginning, and I could
not
put it down. I cannot wait to find out what happens next
for
the Sloane sisters in the next Hellions of High
Street novels.
Proper young ladies of the ton-especially ones who have
very small dowries-are not
encouraged to have an interest in intellectual pursuits.
Indeed, the only thing they are
encouraged to pursue is an eligible bachelor. So, the
headstrong Sloane sisters must keep
their passions a secret. Ah, but secret passions are wont to
lead a lady into trouble . .
.
SCANDALOUSLY YOURS
The eldest of the three Sloane sisters, Olivia is unafraid
to question the boundaries of
Society-even if it does frequently land her in trouble.
Disdaining the glittery world of
balls and courtship, Olivia prefers to spend her time
writing fiery political essays under
a pseudonym for London's leading newspaper. But when her
columns attract the attention of
the oh-so-proper Earl of Wrexham, Olivia suddenly finds
herself dancing on the razor's
edge of scandal. With the help of her sisters, she tries to
stay one step ahead of trouble
. . .
However, after a series of madcap misadventures, Wrexham, a
former military hero who is
fighting for social reform in Parliament, discovers Olivia's
secret. To her surprise, he
proposes a temporary alliance to help win passage of his
bill. Passion flares between
them, but when a political enemy kidnaps the earl's young
son, they must make some
dangerous decisions . . . and trust that love will conquer
all.
