Reviews for Scandal and Miss Markham

[wyvernfriend · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A strong heroine. She makes her own decisions and also tells the hero when he's being an ass, excellent, many romance heros need telling that to and this one learns, mostly. Lord Vernon Beauchamp is looking for his cousin. The mystery brings him to the doors of the Markhams where Thea is anxiously looking for her brother, who went away several days ago and hasn't been heard from since. Now she wants to help Lord Vernon, but he can't see any reason a woman could help him with his mission so she follows him, in boys clothing. As they hunt for both their missing men they discover an attraction that is distracting them both. Entertaining. I liked Thea, even if she was occasionally out of her depth and trying to ignore consequences.
