Daniella Foster needs a hero. Her sister is being
blackmailed, and her family's reputation is on the line.
When she meets war hero Cooper Townsend she believes she
has
found the perfect hero to help her family. As it turns
out,
the same villain is blackmailing Cooper. Daniella and
Cooper
must hunt the villain down before their lives are ruined,
and decide what to do with the feelings that begin to
emerge
between them.
Kasey Michaels's A SCANDALOUS PROPOSAL is a fun romance.
The
hero, Cooper, and the heroine, Dany, share witty banter
throughout the story, and readers will be laughing from
the
beginning to the end of this book. This banter builds up
the
tension between Cooper and Dany, and makes for steamy
romantic scenes. Dany and Cooper are each other's
opposites,
and they make a great pair. Cooper is serious and stoic,
but
loyal and understanding, and Dany is talkative and lively,
but is also selflessly helping her sister. Their unique
pasts make them stand out from other romance heroes and
heroines, and I enjoy the fact that they are not the
typical
"lady" and titled gentleman of the ton.
Michaels has written a mystery that is both intriguing and
clever to bring her characters together. The antagonist is
an interesting villain that is unexpected, and readers may
be a bit surprised when the villain's identity is
revealed.
The element of blackmail is well done, and all the little
pieces that come together to link to the villain are quite
ingenious.
The secondary characters in A SCANDALOUS PROPOSAL are
brilliantly written. Each one from Cooper's mother,
Minerva,
to Dany's sister Marietta, to Cooper's friend Darby, are
filled with personality and bring humor and extra layers
to
the story. Overall, A SCANDALOUS PROPOSAL is a fun read
with
likable characters hooked me from the start to an
exciting mystery that kept me reading until the last page.
The drama of London's Little Season continues in this
vibrant new series by USA TODAY
bestselling author Kasey Michaels featuring three
courageous
war heroes surrendering at last to love…
Who would have thought a man could tire of being fawned
over
and flirted with? Ever since Cooper Townsend returned from
France as a hero with a new title, he has been
relentlessly
pursued by every marriageable miss in London. Perhaps
that's
why the unconventional Miss Daniella Foster is so
appealing.
She doesn't simper or flatter. She only wants him to help
unmask her sister's blackmailer, and Coop has never been
so
intrigued…
Let every other woman in London fight over His Lordship's
romantic attentions. Marriage is the last thing on Dany's
mind…at least until she samples his illicit kisses. Now,
as
a mutual enemy races to ruin Coop's reputation and Dany's
family name, an engagement of convenience will spark an
unlikely passion that might save them both.
