The Importance of Being Scandalous

Tale of Two Sisters Series, Book 1

De: Kimberly Bell

Narrado por: Esther Wane

A horse race in trousers on Rotten Row. Visiting a gaming hall in a dress that would make her mother faint. Sneaking an invitation to a masquerade ball attended by only the wickedest, most debauched members of society....

None of these things are scaring off bookish but strong-willed Amelia Bishop's stuffy, egotistical fiance.

The only thing left is to entice childhood friend Nicholas Wakefield into a truly engagement-ending scandal. The Wakefields are the height of propriety, and Nicholas's parents have made it clear a wife from the neighboring Bishop family would be unacceptable....

But Nicholas would give up his family and his fortune if Amelia would ever see him as more than just a childhood friend. He'll go along with her scheme, even if it means ruining them both, because he's got a plan that will change her mind about him being merely the boy next door.

Contains mature themes.

EXCELLENT

Loved this story, it had all the pieces of adventure, character development & frustrations between leading heroines. My favorite, Jasper, absolutely love him!!

A hilarious and steamy romance I could not put down

The characters were so vibrant and bursting with wit and humor, I was taken from the start. I seriously loved this book from start to finish. It was like reading a gothic comedy, such a wonderful story I highly recommend!

lovable characters with excellent chemistry

sweet and spicy at its best. the lovable side characters are great too. the female friendship element is also nice.

Romantic and funny

I am a suckered forchildhood sweethearts so it didn't take much to snag my interest. It is a well written story that takes you through all the emotional ups and down. There were even moments I fleetingly wondered if they would get together. Thank goodness there is a HEA. Lots of drama, very funny dialog, and a few life & historical lessons to boot.

Impossibly Beautiful!

I am so happy I found this gem. The characters are perfect: Amelia is sweet, strong and honest; Nicholas is honorable,loyal and devoted. He is not the typical Alpha male in many HR novels; he is insecure, shy and unsure of himself. The only certainty in his life is his love for Amelia, he would do anything for her- even incur his family's wrath and displeasure. I absolutely loved this couple, they may be one of my favorites ever.

The plot is well defined and the other characters are just as well written. Esther Ware was a new narrator for me and she is absolutely perfect. I can't wait to listen to the second novel!
