dear readers,
HER SCANDALOUS AFFAIR
Written by Candice Hern
genre: historical romance
4 STARS
Richard
(aka Major Lord Mallory) returns home from the wars and finds his
beloved grandfather on his deathbed. His cold non-maternal grandmother
sends him on a mission to find the long-lost Mallory heart before her
husband dies. At one of the social events in London he sees the brooch
pinned to Lady Isabel Weymouth's bosom. Was this socialite widow a
jewel thief as well? Richard steals the brooch from Isabel (who is
borrowing the jewelry from her grandmother) then Isabel steals it back
the next day. So begins the game of jewel thievery but soon they don't
know if they are stealing the brooch or one anothers's heart.
A
fun historical romp sizzling with passion and a hint of mystery and
action. A great read all around. Hern has as a way with dialogue and
characters. Even when they were a bit cliched you still felt love or
hate for them. It is a predictable story that keeps you entertained.
love,
kris
