Historical Romance
Lessons from a Scandalous Bride features two main characters
with very different opinions on marriage.
Cleopatra Hadley knows that she is illegitimate. She also knows that she never wants to
be trapped in marriage. She has
watched as her mother in a
marriage that has done nothing but produce children, many of whom have
died. Then a big change comes into
her life. Her father sends for
her. Suddenly she has a very
different life.
Logan McKinney is a Scottish Lord who needs a rich
wife. However he does want one he can at least stand to be with. At heart he is a romantic. He is in London when he
meets Cleopatra. He is smitten but
she wants nothing to do with him or marriage to him.
Cleo is an unusual character. Not a part of the ton but with a rich father who wants her
to make a good marriage. Her
solution is to marry a very old man who will not make physical demands. Then the conflict starts with Logan.
Logan finds that he really cannot see living with any of the
women who fit what he needs. That
is until he meets Cleo.
That is the conflict in the story. It is well played out and of course there is a HEA. It is a nice story. The characters are interesting and the
plot well developed. This is book
two in the series and I did wish I had read book one first. I could tell I was
missing some back-story.
Avon published Lessons from a Scandalous Bride by Sophie
Jordan in 2012.
I received an ARC of Lessons from a Scandalous Bride from
Edelweiss.

Hi Jo,
The 'Goodreads' blurb recommends that the reader should 'surrender to the sizzle', what more is there to add!
This is a new to me author, who I shall be adding to my list right away!
Thanks for sharing,
Yvonne
Good review. I hate to read a series book that makes me feel in the dark about what's going on in the actual book I'm reading, though, ugh!
