A review by authorrubyduvall
The Scandal of It All by Sophie Jordan
4.0
I'm entirely biased when it comes to how I liked this book. (Aren't we all?) But though it wasn't perfect, it was very cathartic to read. Like Ela, I married a younger man, and like Ela, I had trouble conceiving—then was blessed with twins. Some reviewers found the ending too short or wrapped up too neatly (I mostly agree) but this sort of uber-happy ending REALLY hit the spot for me. I got my own ridiculously happy ending so why shouldn't Ela?
I'd give the book five stars, but I was a little disappointed with how the initial "pleasure club" scene panned out (an attempted rape by a couple dudes who are never seen again? really?). I was looking forward to Colin seducing this masked woman, realizing after a bit who she was and then REALLY seducing her with everything he has but not revealing that he's figured out her identity, and them getting it on in the club, but alas... I also wish the author had tried a little harder to make Colin Strickland less pushy and aggressive. Still, I really enjoyed the story and I'm excited to read the next in the series.
