Historical Romance
My Scandalous Viscount is another story with spies at the
center. This is book #5 in The
Inferno Club series and winds up one arc of this story. Gaelen Foley does plan further stories
using characters that were introduced in the first five books. I received an ARC of My Scandalous
Viscount from Edelweiss and did not realize that it was a part of a series I
had not read until I started reading. The book can stand-alone but I know I missed things and
many of the hints about the back-story did not make much sense to me.
My Scandalous Viscount is about honor, honesty, and
friendship. It is also about how
the choices you make influence how others see you.
Although Sebastian, Viscount Beauchamp lives by a code of
honor, he has no time for anything but casual flings with women. That honor is what leads him to marry Carissa.
Carissa Portland keeps up with gossip
as a way to protect herself. She
has a secret that she hopes is never revealed and so she is always listening in
case she needs to head off gossip about herself. She is not a gossip.
She does not pass tales on. As a result she is know as a “lady of
information”
Her quest to be in the know is the main driving force in My
Scandalous Viscount. It leads her
into more than one dangerous situation and into marriage to Sebastian. . For a historical romance Carissa is a
very modern woman. Sebastian is a
very traditional male so the marriage between the two is filled with all the
problems this brings. All of this
is written into the story in a very humorous way. Part of the time I found Carissa to be a train wreck waiting
to happen. But in the end her information is what saves the day.
If you need a quick
fun read pick up My Scandalous Viscount.
Avon published My Scandalous Viscount by Gaelen Foley in
2012.
I'll do that.:-)
