A Woman Scorned by Liz Carlyle
4.0
A great sophomore novel from Liz Carlyle! Again, she flips the traditional emotions and roles of the romance novel hero and heroines. Jonet Rowland, Marchioness of Mercer, is a feisty, temperamental, passionate woman who finds her perfect foil in the most unexpected place: the cool, studious and serious Captain Cole Amherst. Great secondary characters rounded out this book. It was gratifying to have small children in the book who weren't cloyingly cute or obnoxiously precocious. They read like real kids: the type you might babysit on a random Thursday evening.
The only flaw in this novel, as I read it, was the villain was a little too obvious. Carlyle threw a few red herrings, but not enough to throw me of the scent.
