That Scandalous Summer by Meredith Duran

5.0

Why did I wait so long to read all the Meredith Duran books I've acquired during various Kindle sales? I have been MISSING OUT.

I loved Elizabeth Chudderley as she floated around the edges of other books Duran has written, and I'm so glad she finally gets her own happy ending. I loved Michael's desire to heal his brother and also to protect those who were relying on him, although I don't necessarily agree with how he did it (which is part of the point, yeah?) I really liked the clash of their mutual needs, and the banter between them was ever so lovely. And gosh, the sexual tension, mmmmm.

I liked the complicated way their secrets intertwined, and the conflict (while based on keeping secrets) was fascinating and excellent. I liked how vividly the setting and the histories were drawn without getting into long drawn-out wandering musings - it was always just enough.
