His Scandalous Lessons by Katrina Kendrick book review

A notorious rogue and a politician’s daughter? Yes, please! Anne Sheffield acts as her father’s secretary as he wheels and deals as a member of Parliament. She has a photographic memory which allows her to blend into the background and benefits her intelligence gathering. However, her father never lets her out of his sight because of the secrets she keeps. She has decided to take control of her life and goes to Richard Grey, rogue and member of Parliament” on the opposite end of the political spectrum as her father. Trust does not come easily to either Anne or Richard, but Anne promises to turn over secrets in return for help with society and relationship “lessons” and some husband hunting. Anne is desperate and at this point, marrying any man would be better than staying at home with her abusive father. As one would expect, sparks fly between Anne and Richard as they spend time with each other and get to know each other. Richard might make some morally gray choices as a politician, but his heart is in the right place, making him a perfect match for Anne. I was not expecting the darkness of some of the secondary characters, but it definitely added to the urgency and mystery of the story and why Anne had to get out of the situation she was in. I love seeing strong and smart women in historical romances. The physical relationship was a bit of a slow burn, but when it got there…holy HOT! This was a good read. I read it late into the night because I just had to see how it ended. A great weekend read!
