Search - Scandalous (Banning Sisters Trilogy)

Quite interesting! And an ending that just blew me away (and made me sigh and smile)

I thought it was a good read and enjoyed it.

A great trilogy, I recommend highly.

I loved this book! A different twist on the usual historical romance. This is part of a trilogy and I will be listing those titles as well once I have read them.

England, 1810: When Lady Gabriella Banning receives word that her half-brother, the Earl of Wickham, has died on his tea plantation in Ceylon, she faces the reality that she and her younger sisters, Claire and Elizabeth, are suddenly penniless. The family's riches will pass to the next male heir -- a distant cousin -- and the Banning sisters are doomed unless Gabby thinks fast.

Which she does. Pretending that Marcus is still alive, Gabby arranges beautiful Claire's London season. She'll keep up the pretense just long enough for Claire to marry a fabulously wealthy nobleman. But when a handsome gentleman arrives at the door and claims to be Marcus, Gabby's plan backfires. For if she exposes this mysterious stranger's deceit, she exposes her own. Bound by secrets and lies, Gabby and the roguish adventurer strike sparks off each other -- and soon London society is abuzz over the scandalous pair of "siblings" who appear to be falling in love....

With this beautifully rendered romance, bestselling author Karen Robards begins a sweeping series about three unforgettable sisters poised to take the ton by storm.

The beginning of the story, when two people are pretending to be who and what they are not, is quite well done. As the story resolves itself, and good wins out after all, the reader will most likely come away from the book with a satisfied feeling. This is an author whose other books I'll have to read.

A lovely romance from Robards - this one set in Regency England.
