Picking up a Tessa Dare book is such a delight. You're also
always
guaranteed a good read. DO YOU WANT TO START A SCANDAL is no
exception! In this book, the hero, Piers, and the heroine,
Charlotte, find
themselves in a room together talking about how she doesn't
want to marry
him when another couple bursts in. While Charlotte and Piers
hide to avoid
ruining her reputation, the other couple starts having sex.
It's quite a
ridiculous situation, but one that Dare handles well with
humor and class.
However, when the tryst is over and they emerge, they are
seen together and
people believe that they were the ones to have a quickie.
Now Charlotte
is trying to prove that it wasn't them while trying to
resist Piers at the same
time.
As you can guess with the premise of this book, it's filled
with humor and
good times. I always look forward to a Tessa Dare book
because of this
reason. Not only will the characters make you fall in love,
but there's a pretty
fun mystery involved with this story as well.
As much as I love Piers in this story, I think the shining
star of this story is
really Charlotte. If it weren't for her charm or her
forwardness, DO YOU WANT TO START A SCANDAL
wouldn't be what it is. Kudos to Dare for creating such a
fun and inventive
heroine who rivals the men with humor and wit. There is no
doubt that Dare
has another winner on her hands.
On the night of the Parkhurst ball, someone had a
scandalous tryst in the library.
Was it Lord Canby, with the maid, on the divan? Or Miss
Fairchild, with a rake, against the wall? Perhaps the butler
did it.
All Charlotte Highwood knows is this: it wasn’t her. But
rumors to the contrary are buzzing. Unless she can discover
the lovers’ true identity, she’ll be forced to marry Piers
Brandon, Lord Granville—the coldest, most arrogantly
handsome gentleman she’s ever had the misfortune to embrace.
When it comes to emotion, the man hasn’t got a clue.
But as they set about finding the mystery lovers, Piers
reveals a few secrets of his own. The oh-so-proper marquess
can pick locks, land punches, tease with sly wit . . . and
melt a woman’s knees with a single kiss. The only thing he
guards more fiercely than Charlotte’s safety is the truth
about his dark past.
Their passion is intense. The danger is real. Soon
Charlotte’s feeling torn. Will she risk all to prove her
innocence? Or surrender it to a man who’s sworn to never love?
