A Marriage Made in Scandal by Elisa Braden
4.0
I was so excited for this book because I love this whole series. I couldn't wait to read Phineus's story and I was not disappointed. The chemistry was amazing between the two. The story along with the mystery kept me hooked from start to end. It is always so delicious to read about a Hero is so emotionless on the outside but adorably warm to the heroine :)
My only problem with this book was her "Scandal". Even for the sake of the plot I just couldn't bring myself to connect with how everyone was so cool about it. In reality, she would have been ostracized by society and her parents would have sent her to the country (even if they do support her no matter what). But no, here, Genie is living with her parents, working which means she is walking around London, and taking part in family dinner parties. Since avoiding scandal was such a huge part of Regency society, I just couldn't ignore that plot point.
