About this ebook

As the head of his family, Robert Beckford, the Earl of Masten, was accustomed to dealing with various problems his siblings had caused of one sort or another. However he wasn’t prepared when his cad of brother ruined and then abandoned a young lady. To right the wrong, Robert married the girl himself; but his chivalry only went so far. He didn’t want a wife, and most certainly not a scandalous one. So after repeating his vows, he sent her packing, off to a secluded estate and expected her to stay put.

After years of mistreatment at the hands of her family, Lydia was prepared to be an accommodating wife; but her rigid and unforgiving husband asked too much of her. After languishing for years in her opulent prison, Lydia leaves her country estate for the glamour and excitement of London—and unfortunately her husband’s path.

I loved the plot. Ironically i felt pity for henry. He must have been subjected to soo much hate n being unloved as a child was so cruel.There were some funny moments as well. A fair balance.Thank u Miss Stone.

Two good people caught up by a bad start makes it really hard to go forward. Strength of character and love eventually solve the problems they encounter.

I really enjoyed this first book in the Scandalous series, it kept me wondering almost the whole way through. I especially liked the length of the book, so I couldn't finish it in one sitting and have nothing to look forward to. Even still it was hard to put down when it was sleep time. I liked the characters in the book a lot, and am looking forward to reading more in this series. I recommend this book, loved it!

About the author

The author of several Regency Noir Romances, Ava Stone first fell in love with Mr. Darcy, Jane Austen and Regency England at the age of twelve. And in the years since, that love has never diminished. If she isn't writing Regency Era romance, she can be found reading it. Her best-selling Scandalous Series is filled with witty humor and centers around the friends and family of the Machiavellian-like Lady Staveley, exploring deep themes but with a light touch. A single mother, Ava lives outside Raleigh NC, but she travels extensively, always looking for inspiration for new stories and characters in the various locales she visits.
