Marry in Scandal by Anne Gracie


Book Description....

"A shy heiress and a well-known rake face a scandal-forced marriage that might be true love in the latest irresistible romance from the national bestselling author of Marry in Haste.

Shy young heiress, Lady Lily Rutherford, is in no hurry to marry. She dreams of true love and a real courtship. But when disaster strikes, she finds herself facing a scandal-forced marriage to her rescuer, Edward Galbraith, a well known rake.

Despite his reputation Lily is drawn to the handsome Galbraith. In the gamble of her life, she agrees to marry him, hoping to turn a convenient marriage into a love match.

As heir to a title, Galbraith knows he must wed, so a convenient marriage suits him perfectly. But there is a darkness in his past, and secrets he refuses to share with his tender-hearted young bride. All Lily's efforts to get close to him fall on stony ground, and in desperation she retreats to his childhood home--the place he's avoided for nearly a decade.

"Marry in Scandal" by Anne Gracie

My Thoughts...

This was quite a enjoyable unique historical romance read where I found these characters well developed, portrayed and believable giving the reader quite a engaging good read of some strong Regency England women.  I liked how Lily and Edward were drawn together with her being 'intuitive, sweet, shy and smart, but however, illiterate lady of the noble birth [dyslexia]  and him being a wounded soldier suffering with 'PTSD' and having much war guilt.

It was quite a read of how Lily is thrust into an engagement, then a marriage to a gallant war hero who had rescued her from a kidnapping attempt.  By the end the read the reader is see the growth of these two relationship and their developed trust and camaraderie that will become between them as Lily moves to save Edward just as he is their to save her.

So, if you are looking for a delightful historical romance I would definitely recommend 'Marry in Scandal' by Anne Gracie.
