The Perks of Loving a Scoundrel by Jennifer McQuiston

5.0

This was an amazingly fun story! Mary has been pretty much hiding from society. She refused to ever be properly presented. Her sister brings her to the city under the guise of needing assistance at the end of her pregnancy, but she convinces Mary to get out to some functions. Wouldn't you know it, she attends a literary salon and goes to hide in the library, where she's followed by the irresistible Geoffrey. They're caught in a compromising position and end up overhearing an assassination plot. Now, because of their reputations (his for pranks; hers for daydreaming) no one believes them. So they must solve the puzzle involving identifying the target and the guilty parties and then take it upon themselves to save the day. So we have a crazy adventure. And along the way we get some sweet romance. Geoffrey might be immature, but he knows there is something about this girl that he can't give up. I love how the story encompasses so much more than just the romance leading up to the betrothal. We get to see the after-the-wedding stuff, too. We get to feel their insecurities. I very much loved reading this and would not hesitate to grab something else by this author. I received a copy of this story from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
