Marquess of Malice is the second book in the Lords of Scandal series. This series is based on six noblemen who have opened the Den of Sin, a gaming hell but have tried to keep their identity secret. When one of them becomes engaged to one of the Chase females and the women descend into their Den, they decide they need to make sure the women don’t talk. They each pick one of the women, determined to stick close to them and ensure that they don’t disclose their identity. When Lady Abernath threatens the women in order to have revenge against one of the gentlemen, the men’s protectiveness kicks in.
Chad Hennessey, the Marquess of Malicorn, known as Malice to his friends doesn’t want a marriage with emotions. He wants a wife that will be biddable, will give him his heir, and then stay in the country. He thought he had found the perfect woman for his wife in Lady Cordelia. Corde declines his offer of marriage when he says that she would be “suitable.” Chad then realizes that Corde might be quiet and shy but has a backbone of steel and is stubborn.
Lady Cordelia “Corde” Chase has always been the girl in the family who fades into the background. She was the quiet one but had always dreamed of finding a man who saw her for herself. She wanted a man to propose because he loved her not because he found her “suitable.” Can Corde change Chad’s mind of what the perfect wife would be?
This has been such an exciting series. The Chase women are sassy, independent, and stubborn. They are certainly keeping the gentlemen busy trying to keep up. I can’t wait to read the next book which will be Exile’s.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Marquess of Malice is the second book in Tammy Andresen’s Lords of Scandal series, and it’s a great addition to the series. Although this can be read as a standalone romance, I do recommend reading book one and the prequel to get the best understanding of the story. There are certain elements of this one that continue what we were previously introduced to, and it will have you enjoying the development of the overall story arc more.
Whether you’re reading this as a standalone or as part of the series, Marquess of Malice is a quick read filled with plenty of drama to keep you turning the pages. Tammy Andresen sucks you right into the story, and you quickly fall in love with the characters. Although I saw some of the things coming, this was not enough to take away from the book. Every chapter packed a punch, and I was more than happy to devour it in a single sitting.
All in all, Marquess of Malice is well worth the read if you’re a fan of historical romance.
