Review: To Tempt a Scandalous Lord (Once Upon a Scandal #4) by Liana De la Rosa
Synopsis
Alicia Lindsay, the dowager Countess Lindsay, has spent her life under the dominion of men— leered at yes, but ultimately silenced and cast aside. But widowhood has granted her the freedom to voice her critiques against injustices in articles that have enraptured the nation. Resolved to bring about political change, Alicia's investigation of the newest party candidates leads her to the captivating, hardheaded Lord Inverray. She's unprepared when he proves to be not only charming but chivalrous when a slight wardrobe malfunction—with all eyes of the ton upon them—forces her to accept his proposal. Now she’s keeping a huge secret from her soon-to-be-husband.
Niall Campbell, Marquess of Inverray, has spent years finding support for numerous legislations to help his fellow Scots. Now poised to grasp the party leadership, his success has been threatened by some anonymous articles critiquing his campaign. Niall vows to find the author and silence them, no matter the cost. But when he finds himself engaged to an alluring widow with a sharp tongue, his plans get derailed in more ways than one…
Review
This is such a charming story. I absolutely loved it! Both the main characters are amazing and the chemistry between them is off the charts. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also liked the political side of it. I think this is the first time I have read a historical romance that has made politics one of the primary focus of the story. And I think it's brilliantly done. I recommend this to all readers, especially if you like strong-minded female leads, and men who appreciate them. This book is a gem. I couldn't get enough of it.
P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.
