A Lady's Guide to Scandal by Sophie Irwin book review


Ready for a regency love triangle? If so, this might be the book for you. Eliza Balfour is recently widowed and is getting ready to explore life without her controlling husband. She married her husband because of a duty to her family. It was not a love match. She was molded into what society expected a woman like her to be. She is now wealthy and ready to get on with her life. She asks for friend and cousin, Margaret, to go with her to Bath, where they rent some rooms. Eliza is a talented artist, but has not really been allowed to pursue a career as an artist. Eliza has a second chance to reunite with her first love (who is also related to the now deceased Lord Somerset). However, Eliza meets Lord Melville and is both frustrated, intrigued and attracted to him. Scandal follows him around, but with Eliza’s daring new life, she gets to know him better. There is some jealousy that definitely emerges and unpredictable twists and turns that involve a bit of mystery and scandal with the stipulations of Eliza’s inheritance. This is a slow burn romance that will hook you in and a perfect summer read.
