Season for Scandal by Theresa Review


Unladylike Risk Jane Tindall has never had money of her own or exceptional beauty. Her gifts are more subtle: a mind like an abacus, a talent for play-acting--and a daring taste for gambling. But all the daring in the world can't help with the cards fixed against her. And when Edmund Ware, Baron Kirkpatrick, unwittingly spoils her chance to win a fortune, her reputation is ruined too. Or so she thinks, until he suggests a surprising mode of escape: a hasty marriage. To him. On the surface, their wedding would satisfy all the demands of proper society, but as the Yuletide approaches, secrets and scandals turn this proper marriage into a very improper affair.

My Review:
I love historical romances and this book is a perfect fit for that genre. I loved the idea of a hasty marriage. I also loved the fact that she was playing cards and was dressed as a man to hide her identity. However she is unmasked! Christmas has a way of making wishes come true! All the mistletoes help as well! I was hoping that Jane would get her happy ending. Towards the end of the book I really wanted to slap some sense into Edmund. He needed to follow his heart. The only thing that I didn't like was that this story has been done before. I have read a lot of stories like this before. Granted there were some differences, but the plot was similar. However the ending was great and this was a really good book. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
