How to Survive a Scandal by Samara Parish

4.0

I really enjoyed this story. We follow Amelia, who has been groomed all her life to be a duchess but her life long fiancé has been dragging his feet, and Benedict a working class man who Amelia has nothing but disdain for.

Amelia is set on convincing her fiancé to set a date for their wedding when she gets stuck in a snowstorm all alone. Luckily for her Benedict comes along and residues her; unluckily for her, they are discovered some together and so no they are forced to marry. Amelia must move to the country and give up everything she knows, and Benedict has his life upended by his “upper crust wife”

I love the banter and chemistry with these two. I loved watching Amelia come into herself and her developing relationships with her new family and town. I love how she was able to use her intelligence to help Benedict with his company. And I do love a gruff grumpy hero and Benedict didn’t disappoint.

If you’re looking for a new historical romance author to try I’d highly recommend Samara Parish and I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
