Book Review -- Scandalous by Patricia Burroughs

ScandalousScandalous by Patricia Burroughs

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a darling little piece of fluff! Scandalous is a short romance, originally a Loveswept, with Christmas and couture and longtime scandals, and the delightful layer of history that all good fiction possesses.


Paisley Vandermeir was born on a hippie commune, transplanted at all of seven years old to high society Manhattan, and mentored by her wild Aunt Izzy, whose Roaring 20s exploits still tarnish the family name. Paisley has never had a chance to be respectable, because Vandermeir women are expected to cause scandals. But Paisley has taken care of something she needed to do. Only one more thing is left -- cause the scandal everyone has been waiting for, and then go past it and find her own future.

Christopher Quincy Maitland, the spitting image of Aunt Izzy's scandalous lover, appears safe, dependable, and scandal proof. A touch of flirtation, a spin with all that high society does not expect her to touch, and then Paisley will be free.

But is Chris scandal proof? And can Paisley free herself from a man whose very glance sets her pulse fluttering in a fashion that is entirely foreign to all her experience?

An enjoyable evening -- Recommended!
