A review by katiemayveil
A Proper Scandal by Esther Hatch
4.0
Grace Sinclair is no stranger to loneliness and grief. Her parents have been gone for several years, and after staying with the local vicar and his family she is now forced to make a home with her aunt and uncle. Unfortunately, things are made more difficult for her because of how beautiful she is. She has lived for years with unwanted advances and has developed a distrust of men because of it.
After moving in with her aunt and uncle, she learns that her uncle is not a nice man. To get out of his house she agrees to pursue a certain gentleman at his request in hopes that a marriage will occur. She is told by her cousin that she needs to be caught in a scandalous situation with the gentleman so that he will be forced to marry her. She soon realizes that this is easier said than done.
This is a delightful book that is cleverly crafted. Grace is kind and innocent but also stubborn. She stands up for herself because she has had too, but desperately wants a family who will want her around. I could not put this book down and read it in about 4 hours, but I wished there was so much more to it!
