A Lady’s Lesson In Scandal - ARC Review

Thank you so much to Boldwood Books and Darcy McGuire for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

This book, the sequel to The Secret Life of a Lady also by Darcy McGuire, is equal parts spicy and heartwarming. Available on 10/12/2024, this book is perfect for cozy reading.

Millicent “Millie” Wittenburg is being forced to marry a man only a few years younger than her father, which is seriously going to dig into her work as a vigilante crime fighter for Queen Victoria. Desperate to escape, she chooses scandal as her means of escape with the one man she can count on to ruin her and leave - Major General Beauford Drake.

He is under pressure from Parliament, under whom he’s an investigator, to take a wife, so he offers for her hand in marriage. Now, during the week-long wedding festivities at his country estate, they have to unmask the head of a human trafficking ring without letting the other know about it.

5/5 stars, this book has excellent pacing and a pitch-perfect sense of humor with the right amount of spice.
