A Proper Scandal

A Proper Scandal A Novel

Esther Hatch2019
Grace Sinclair has been callously cast out of her home. Despite the vicar and his wife taking her in years ago, her unsurpassed beauty makes it impossible for her to remain in the vicar's household--with two daughters of their own about to enter Society, the vicar and his wife see Grace as nothing but competition. Thankfully, Grace's estranged Aunt Bell from London has agreed to care for her. But Grace soon learns her situation has just gotten much worse. It takes only a moment's acquaintance for Grace to ascertain that her aunt has married a detestable rake. And Aunt Bell, recognizing the danger of having her lovely niece too near her husband, gives Grace an ultimatum: the young woman has two weeks to find a man to marry, after which she will be turned out. With no experience in the art of attracting a husband, Grace quickly realizes that a worthy suitor might not be so easy to ensnare.--

IM IN LOVE WITH ALL OF ESTHER HATCH’S BOOKS!! 😭😭😭 imagine a girl with a desperate situation in her hands, being forced to marry a man to escape the evil clutched of her uncle. she tries to flirt and seduce the guy to no avail, since she doesn’t know how and yet she’s becoming more and more intrigued by him 👀✨ imagine a gentleman, a rough railroad one, bent on making transportation accesible to everyone at a fair rate. determination marks him and, since his heart got broken love is the far way thing from his mind.. until a girl with her parasol stuck in her bonnet doesn’t let him breath and is almost basically a temptation he can’t resist… 😌✨ but will lies and deceit get in the way of that happily ever after? READ IT TO FIND OUT! 🤍🤩 5 out 5 stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 STARS This was such a cute short clean romance. If you love sweet and clean romance with a regency feel, then you will love this book. This was a quick and easy read for me, and overall an enjoyable read. I did feet that occasionally the situations and dialogue didn’t seem to fit the time period, but overall it was a good read. Grace was a great leading lady, and I chuckled a few times at the predicaments she gets herself into. I loved Nate and thought he was a great leading man. They make a cute couple, and like most clean romances, they don’t really get together until almost the end. When reading this genre, I seem to always want them to get together sooner so that I get more of them together 🤷🏻‍♀️ Is it just me? Lol Also the uncle really irked me in this book. Just not a nice human being 😢 But I was pleased that Grace was finally able to break free from that awful situation. Overall I would recommend this one! Thanks to NetGalley, Esther Hatch and Covenant Communications for the free copy in exchange for my honest review and feedback. Follow Me! Instagram | Alicia Reads It - Blog | Twitter
