Reviews for Scandalous Innocent

[wyvernfriend · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Stories of two women over two generations linked by pushy men who won't allow them to say no. I actually had problems with this, instead of trying to woo them they just ran roughshod over the women and didn't really feel loverly but in many ways unpleasant, I wanted to like the stories and the detail felt quite historical but this wasn't my sort of romance, I prefer wooing.Two stories feature in this book, one post-restoration (1676) and the other regency (1803); the first features an entertaining fencing competition the second had a widow who loses her house when her brother gambles it away.I just didn't feel it, I wanted to like the story and the characters but somehow felt that it was more historical novel than romance, probably quite correct for the era but not for my tastes. I like wooing not women whose choices are caught between a rock and a hard place.Readable, somewhat entertining but not what I was expecting and not romantic enough for me.
