A Scandalous Lady Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
In Regency England, an actress finds herself suddenly playing on a whole new stage . . .
 
Having risen from the squalor of London’s back alleys to be the darling of Drury Lane, Meg Fletcher was indeed the consummate actress. And it takes all her considerable skills to conceal her shock when she learns she was actually the legitimate daughter—and heir—of Sir Richard Carswell, an aging baronet . . .
 
Determined to learn why her mother fled her husband in terror all those years ago, Meg journeys to Carswell Hall. There, in addition to the scandalized servants and a very surprised papa, she encounters the extremely unsettling Earl of Stanbrook, a deliciously handsome rake—who is not at all amused when the actress he’d been intended to seduce began putting on airs at Carswell Hall in the role of virtuous prodigal daughter.
 
There was only one way a girl of her station could have come so far in the world. She might enjoy pretending she wasn’t to be won over with a few baubles, but he knew she was his for the taking. It would be trickier now that he knew she was of the Quality, but every gentleman understood there were ways to bend the rules when wooing a scandalous lady . . .

There is a mystery as to how and why our heroine, Meg, the daughter of a baronet, became the sweetheart of Drury Lane? Why did her mother leave the man she loved while living in comfort to live with a man who lived above a rough tavern. Who killed her stepfather and why? Who is after Meg? The story slowly unfolds and Meg is in danger. The hero believes at first she is a scam artist after her father's money. Then as time will tell he falls in love with her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some unusual ingredients added to standard fare make a tasty read. (I think so, anyway.)
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2015

A very engaging read. Regency romance with a tasty mystery to it, no graphic sex, but definitely romance with all the "standard" tensions of social class-in-conflict with choosing the mate one is meant for. Dashing hero, and a nice choice of villains (you'll probably figure out "who done it" by the 3/4 mark, or earlier), heroine who is independent and intelligent without the snarkiness one often finds in heroines described as "feisty." Characters and a rather complex plot develop well & smoothly, and I found it all believable in context ...something like what you might get if Daphne du Maurier had decided to write "Rebecca" as a Regency, and lighter. This novel comes after Lady Maryann's Dilemma, and appears in it Lady Maryann, as she and Meg Fletcher, an actress raised by a Bow Street Runner, and in Seven Dials, met in the earlier novel. Neither graphic violence nor graphic sex are present or necessary to hold the reader's interest; violent events and sexual encounters more passionate than warm kisses, take place "off-stage" as it were, though we sit with Meg as her wounded Pa expires while revealing (to her) her true antecedents, and conversation and dynamics among the characters make the reader aware of the various tensions & passions at work among them (love, pride, loyalty, loathing...with a touch of madness thrown in). A good little mystery, drama, romance, quite satisfactory resolution. I may read it again at some point. Liked it very well.
