I'm the biggest Laura Wood fan there is, and this second book in the Scandal series does not disappoint.
Set in Victorian England, this is a world where men hold all the power, and women must operate in secret ways to help each other.
Mari is an ambitious young woman who has built up her family's florist shop into a thriving business. All that is threatened when her fiance dumps her for not being *ladylike* enough, and his father, their landlord, tries to pressure her into becoming his mistress - or face ruin. Desperate and with no one to turn to, she unexpectedly hears of The Aviary - from a scowling, extremely handsome man. With nothing to lose, she asks for their help - and thus embarks on a life more full of adventure and romance than she ever dreamed...
Swoony historical YA romance combines with feminism & a sharp look at race to make this an enthralling book.
