Um, why did it take me so long to read this? I loved it!!
I loved this book. Usually I am not the romance type of person, but this one got me. I start without knowing anything about the book, but it made me laugh.
I liked the author's YA regency romance book, so I had higher hopes for this one.
On the plus side, it was hilarious... but not because it was meant to be. The whole thing was completely ridiculous and full of unnecessary sex. I would have admired the main character for sticking to her list and doing the exciting and cool things that men get to do without basically being easy. Instead, she gets a chance at the guy she's been pining for for ten years and jumps at it, only to get shirty because he "doesn't love her back." Yeah, girls can be crazy, but she was special.
Also, way to Mary-Sue it up and give the main character a ridiculous name that only her One True Love appreciates...

Pandemic 2020 calls for all the historical romance novels. A great distraction!
It was okay aside from when Callie would be completely spineless and a doormat. My god girl, stand up

4.5 stars.
I had expectations going into this book which were completely disproved during the reading experience. I was impressed by how much I saw myself in this main character and, beyond this, how well those characteristics were explored. This was fun and full of the scandal the title indicates, but I have gained a different perspective on this seemingly empty-of-meaning title.
This featured a woman who was strong in her expression of vulnerability and was - to my surprise - emotional. I know some people will never find books such as these worthy of people's time, but I am grateful that for some reason I chose to read this book at a time in which I could connect to the subject matter in this way.
*NOTE - this does not mean it is a 'boring' or 'bland' book. It can be both within the romance genre and don't forget that!
