The Scandal of Rose by Joanna Shupe

4.0

---

3.5 stars

I came to it because of this cute cover, I stayed because the plot was interesting and I was taken by surprise with how much I ended up enjoying this novella.

Now, to be clear, the story is in two parts. There is a very cliffy Prologue, then under Part 1 we jump back weeks before covering where essentially the h, Rose pursues the H, Moore and they embark on an affair of sorts and then we have Part 2 which is where big drama happens. I did not care much for Part 1 because the suddeness of the erotica parts and the characterisation was a bit unsettling.

But Part 2, omg, Part 2 was wow! Excellent angst
