And such is the case in my April release, <strong>SOMETHING SCANDALOUS<\/strong>. Actually, all of my <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Spinster Club<\/em><\/span> books have scandals involved in some way or another. Only in this book, the real scandal is not so much between my hero and heroine, but my heroine\u2019s parents. Writing this story and my others made me think about scandals in general, and the people\u2019s interest in them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do we love scandals? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not just in our books but even in everyday life. You can\u2019t wait in a grocery store line without seeing 4-5 magazines and newspapers that devote most of their pages to exposing someone\u2019s personal life to the masses. There are early evening shows that focus the majority of their time on the current scandal from Hollywood. Even the soap operas I watched as a teen were nothing but scandals. It wasn\u2019t that different 200 years ago either. People loved to hear some piece of juicy gossip.<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"border: double; border-color: #4259a9; padding-right: 15px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #4259a9;\"><strong><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2869\" title=\"something scandalous\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/something-scandalous.jpg?resize=203%2C329\" alt=\"\" width=\"203\" height=\"329\" \/>Something Scandalous<\/strong><br \/>\nAuthor: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christiekelley.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christie Kelley<\/a><br \/>\nPublisher: Zebra<br \/>\nPub.

And because the Duke had no sons, his title and fortune must go to his only male heir: a distant cousin who left England for America long ago. Anticipating the man\u2019s imminent occupation of her home, Elizabeth anxiously searches for her mother\u2019s diary, and the secret of her paternity\u2026<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><em>Arriving in London with his seven siblings, William Atherton intends to sell everything and return to his beloved Virginia farm, and his fianc\u00e9e, as quickly as possible. But as Elizabeth shows William an England he never knew, and graciously introduces his siblings to London society, it becomes clear the two are meant for each other. Soon, Elizabeth finds herself determined to seduce the man who can save not only her family name, but her heart\u2026<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>But what do we get out of it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is that satisfaction of knowing someone has done something more foolish than yourself. That\u2019s a big one. It does make you feel better about yourself, doesn\u2019t it? After all, while you might have done something foolish, but you didn\u2019t get caught and the other person did.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the idea that a scandal humanizes someone from a higher social position. It makes that person fallible.<\/p>\n<p>Or in the case of many books, it makes the character more sympathetic. I think this is especially true for the heroines who might have been caught in some mistake and are suddenly shunned from society. It\u2019s hard not to root for the underdog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think? Do you like to read the gossip magazines or hear about the Hollywood stars and their marriage woes? If you do, tell me why. If not, tell me what you people get out of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"border: ridge; border-color: #000080; padding-right: 15px;\"><p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christiekelley.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christie Kelley<\/a> was born and raised in upstate New   York.
