Helpful Score: 11
I was really excited about this book, but for some reason I had a really hard time getting into it once I had it in my hands. The book details the reconciliation of an estranged couple (Lord and Lady Lindsey) who after the death of their young son have lived apart for three years.
For starters, the beginning of the book attempts to describe the scandal that will ensue once "The Book Of Scandal" is released into regency London, and how upon the books reading Lady Lindsey will be named in a scandal that could ruin the good name of Lindsey. Once this makes its was out to Lord Lindsey in rural England he is determined to get his wife back out to the country to tamper down the rumors of her and another man.
During all of this is some subplot about the king and the queen and the princes and princesses of Wales which, maybe I'm a little bit slow, but I had a really hard time following. With there being six different princesses I couldn't really follow who the main scandal was including.
Following Lady Lindsey's return to her old estate comes the memories of the son she lost, and her husband's betrayal. Attempts on her life and his desire to mend their relationship lead to a rather predictable outcome.
I liked the characters and I really wanted to like this book, but there was just something missing. I had a hard time feeling for her characters like in her "Rogues of Regent Street" series. Overall it was just okay for me, wait till you can get it for 50 cents used.
