Scandal of the Year: Abandoned at the Altar by Laura Lee Guhrke

3.0

It was refreshing to read a historical set in a different time period - Edwardian England rather than Regency, or Scotland, and to have a hero/ine pair that were both older and more mature. But in some ways, that made the novel read more as a contemporary, than a historical, as the conflict was about two people set in their ways adapting to each other.

The hardest part about the novel is that it was told in alternating segments between the present, and previous encounters between the hero and heroine. It made it difficult to invest in either character, until the reader was "caught up" and the action stayed in the present.

This is my first Laura Lee Guhrke, and I have a few others on my wish list, so we'll see.
