    This is such a great story not only did I get to enjoy Adam and Violet’s journey to a wonderful HEA, but I also learnt a lot about the woman who were suffragettes and there is also the chocolate, who doesn’t love chocolates, this is a story that I highly recommend, it is a page turner.

    Violet Coombes is an only child to parents who own Coombes chocolate, they make the best violet creams, the family are in London for the season hoping that Violet will make a good match, but Violet is a suffragette and marriage is the last thing on her mind, but when she falls into the arms of a handsome man trying to hang a banner, and then causing shock waves through the ton said handsome man proposes marriage, one of convenience, which suits Violet very well, for a while.

    Adam Beaufort has been left the family estate which is in dire straits thanks to his wasteful father, he has his mother and two sisters to think about, but when he meets the beautiful Violet and comes up with a plan that will suit both of them and avoid scandal, he is sure that they can be friends and he will support her suffragette ways, but will he be able to stop an entanglement between them.

    I really enjoyed this story, it is beautifully written, Violet is such a strong heroine who knows her mind and what she wants, and Adam wow what a hero, he is so easy to fall in love with, I loved their journey there are ups and downs along the way, and so much to learn for them both. Thank you MS Redgold for a fabulous story, one that I am sure will leave a lot of readers smiling.

A perfect plan, Adam will be able to save his family estate and Violet would be free to continue her work as a Suffragette, but only if it was that easy. They find there is a growing attraction. Will it be a marriage of convenience or be will it be forever. A great read.

    THE SCANDALOUS SUFFRAGETTE by author Eliza Redgold is a Harlequin Historical Romance series release for April 2019.

    Violet Coombes has just brought scandal on her family by her activities within the suffragette movement. Her parents are upset but then Adam comes in with a marriage proposal. He needs her money to save his family’s reputation and Violet and her family need his name to avert the disaster. A perfect marriage, right? Wrong!

    After they hash out the details of their marriage of convenience, Adam is determined to keep his distance from Violet, yet the attraction between them wouldn’t let Adam keep away. He also doesn’t want Violet to be part of the suffragette movement as it has become dangerous, but Violet walks out on him when he tries to lay the rule down. Could he change himself enough to be the person Violet wanted?

    THE SCANDALOUS SUFFRAGETTE is a romance filled with emotions and drama. Author Eliza Redgold brought this story to life on the pages where a reader would sympathize with Violet and Adam yet root for them too. Violet is a strong heroine and Adam is a good guy. He is sensitive and caring. And the story was full of fun and witty dialogue among the more serious issues of fighting for women’s rights. Thanks to the research and beautifully written story, I feel as I know Violet personally. Her struggles and her triumphs, her strengths and her fears and also her heart.

    Highly recommended for all readers of historical romance.

As society finds out what she has been up to Adam proposes a marriage of convenience to help him regain the loss of his family fortune. There is much more to this story and the author doe an amazing job in giving us a little bit of History behind the women's movement for the right to vote while keeping it a Romance novel too.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Blend of Passionate Romance & Historical Events
    Reviewed in Australia on March 26, 2019
    An impressive amount of research underpins this compelling historical romance novel. It reveals itself in the details of setting and costume, of attitudes and especially in the changes the heroine, Violet, is fighting for.

    I particularly liked the portrayal of family in "The Scandalous Suffragette". Discussion and analysis of the fight for women's right to vote tends to focus on the public conflict. This novel explores the strain the cause brought to personal relationships. I liked that the side characters were more than cardboard cutouts of opposition. The hero and heroine's romance developed far more naturally and believably in this context of good-hearted people holding different views and responsibilities.

    Which brings me to Violet and Adam - they are wonderful! I like protagonist who are honorable, as this couple is. It makes their happy ever after even more enjoyable. They've earned it.
