A Proper Scandal by Esther Hatch
First off, let’s start with how I was on the edge of my seat for the majority of this book. That almost never happens with my historical romance reads. The plot is rich and leads the story. The main characters are well developed and have personalities of their own.
Grace is a girl with no place of her own. An orphan taken in by the local vicar, with beauty a plenty and a hefty dowry. Many of the local villager boys have their eye on her but none of them want her for who she is. When the opportunity arises to stay with her aunt and her aunt’s new husband in London, Grace reluctantly agrees. Only, she realizes her situation has become much worse. She has two weeks to marry a man in order to save herself from the danger she finds herself in.
I could see parts of myself in Grace making it easy to connect with her and her longings. She has a naive view of society with a giddy zest for life. She’s an easy character to root for.
Nate is fantastic and I love how easily he falls for her charms, all the while trying his hardest to fight the feelings arising in him.
Their story is so cute, I could cry at that adorable happy ending. It was well fought for and deserved.
Content: attempted sexual assault, sexual harassment, mild violence
