The desire she has created between her two main characters fairly crackles in the air and gives her readers the shivers! Our leading man may vow not to be \u201canother fool to fall at our heroine\u2019s feet\u201d but anytime a man says that you know he is in for the ride of his life.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned, the desire between our characters is well written but I can not say the same for the romance. Both lead characters were not adapted enough. I like it when you can feel their love grow as you get to know them. You feel no \u2018ownership\u2019 to this story, however, that did not take away from the overall effectiveness of the book for me.<\/p>\n<p>Evie is a smart and courageous woman, making an unbelievable sacrifice for her sister and family. But she winds up married to a man she doesn\u2019t know and is filled with a sense of betrayal over the lies she must tell him. She is perplexing sometimes, having all this courage to go through life but not enough to trust her new husband with the reality of her situation. Other than that little bit of annoyance, I liked Evie\u2019s character very much.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer has also made a sacrifice to repair the honor of the woman he feels was wronged by his cousin, even if he still loved her with his dying breath. The fact that Spencer has secretly coveted the mysterious \u201cLinny\u201d helps the reader to see past his so-called selfless act; he is infatuated with the idea of a woman who he thinks can solve all his problems. What he really wants is a quiet life to forget the horrors of war and the predilections and betrayals of the ton. So he marries a stranger and winds up with the last type of woman he expects. Spencer bothered me many times in this book and I will admit to not really liking him all that much. However, he does somewhat redeem himself at the end.<\/p>\n<p>The love scenes are steamy but not overly so and match the tone of the book well.<\/p>\n<p>A different plot concept saved this book for me and I would recommend it to most historical romance enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #333300;\">8 (Very Good ) <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat-Level: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #003366;\">3.5 (Very Sensual) <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.danielledubois.blog.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2540\" title=\"danielle\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/danielle4.png?resize=550%2C155\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"155\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-3171\" data-postid=\"3171\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-3171 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Scandal They Wed Author: Sophie Jordan Publisher: Avon\/HarperCollins Pub.
