(I haven\u2019t read the previous three.) The story focuses on Elizabeth Ashburton, a woman pretending to be a widow in order to outrun a man who wants to marry her and that she doesn\u2019t trust. The reader isn\u2019t given the reasoning for this distrust till half way through the book, which caused many \u201cwhat\u2019s her deal\u201d moments for me. I couldn\u2019t understand her motivation and some of her actions seemed ridiculous to me without the knowledge of why she was running from him. In order to evade this man when he finds, her she hides out with Rowland Manning, the illegitimate half-brother of her friend\u2019s husband, who is one of the most disagreeable men in London.<\/p>\n<p>My biggest issue with this book was the \u201chero\u201d Rowland Manning. I have read books with un-likable heroes before, but not one I disliked as much as Rowland Manning. (For example,<strong> LORD OF SCOUNDRELS <\/strong>by <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>Loretta Chase<\/em><\/span> \u2013 Dain doesn\u2019t start out likable at all) He is purposefully hateful and mean toward Elizabeth in the beginning and although this behavior is excused by her because of his hard upbringing, I couldn\u2019t get past it. Throughout the book, it is hard to tell if Manning really cares for anyone but himself, let alone Elizabeth. He is of course a changed man by the end of the book, but it wasn\u2019t authentic for me.<\/p>\n<p>A redeeming quality of the book is the writing itself. Ms. Nash writes with such descriptions that I could see the places she was describing in her mind and feel the emotions of Elizabeth as I read about her fear.  This scene in particular stuck out to me as being beautifully written:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>All too soon they arrived at the Prince Regent\u2019s vast residence on the south side of Pall Mall. She glanced longingly toward St. James Park, now shadowy in the gloaming hour. As she entered the hexastyle portico of Corinthian columns, liveried royal footmen bowed in her wake as did the awed quests in attendance. It was ironic. For so long she had hoped to make her father proud by being accepted by the aristocracy, who had always ostracized her for her hoydenish ways. Now she would have given just about anything to be anywhere but her.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can feel her despair and imagine exactly what she is seeing as she embarks on something she has no desire to follow through with.<br \/>\nIf the progression of Manning from monster to gentleman had been evolving throughout the whole book instead of just at the end, I would have liked this book much better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">5 (Fair)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat-Level: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #003366;\">2: (Warm)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebookgirl.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2829\" title=\"carrie\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/carrie.png?resize=540%2C148\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"148\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-2935\" data-postid=\"2935\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-2935 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secrets of a Scandalous Bride Author: Sophia Nash Publisher: Avon \/ HarperCollins Pub.
