Book Review: One Night of Scandal

One Night of Scandal One Night of Scandal by Darcy Burke

I really enjoyed this book! When Jack Barrett catches Lady Viola Fairfax attempting to sneak into a gentlemen's club, he escorts her home. Lady Viola is horrified that anyone saw through her disguise as Tavistock and immediately complies. However, fate throws them together when they decide to investigate the rumour that a peer was behind the attempt on the Prince Regent. But when the tables are turned against them by unknown political enemies and she defends him against accusations that he is a radical, she creates a scandal, there is only one solution: marriage. When these accusations put them both in danger, will she realize that some things are more important than her ideals?
I really liked Lady Viola! She's my kind of girl. Although she is headstrong, she recognizes when her actions are futile and when she can fight back. I really enjoyed that she didn't do anything in order to prove Jack wrong or make her point. Jack is a good person and tries to do what is best for Viola even when she resists. He knows when to capitulate to her. I also liked the pacing of the book as I had a really hard time putting it down towards the end. I feel that had I read the previous books in this series, I would have a much better feel for the characters.

Life Just Suddenly Happened

Hi faithful readers!
I'm so happy to be back to blogging!  It has been a long time since I posted.  The reason is simply that life suddenly got very busy since I got 2 jobs (one is working in a library and I love it!) and had all my volunteering as well.  I also joined the choir at one my volunteering gigs.  Suddenly, I was so busy that although I was reading, I had trouble finding the time to write reviews.  I am still working on managing my time and learning to balance everything, including working on cosplay.  I will be posting more reviews starting next week!
