I wish there were more characters written like Abigail Carrington. I hate reading about ladies who worship rakes like they’re God’s gift to women. No woman with a working brain would dream to be married to one, fictional or otherwise..
Baron of Blasphemy, Book 12 of the Lords of Scandal series was about Chadwick "Chad" Blackwater, the Baron of Blackwater (aka the Baron of Blasphemy), who had inherited a bankrupt barony, and Miss Abigail Carrington, youngest of four daughters of Lucas Carrington, a wealthy shipping merchant who had been missing for over a year, and feared deceased. Abby's brother-in-law the Duke of Devonhall, thinking he was doing what was best for her in hopes of protecting her and restoring her reputation, arranged a match between her and Chad, much to her dismay. She was adamant that she would not be forced to marry for anything other than love, as had her three sisters. Unfortunately for Abby, all of her sisters believed her to be a spoiled brat with a brash tongue. Because they treated her that way, everyone else that knew her did as well, to her detriment. Even Chad called her "Princess" because he agreed with everyone else's opinion. Because they all thought that of her, they tended to treat her harshly. Granted, Abby was a bit on the selfish and vain side, but she was only 19 and was only just beginning to take notice of life around her. Chad was the second son of a baron and he only inherited the title after the deaths of his father and elder brother. Both his father and brother had been vicious men who enjoyed bullying everyone around them, including Chad and his mother. Because of their treatment, he had deliberately developed the rakish reputation that earned him the nickname "Baron of Blasphemy". Even his mother treated him poorly. He wanted the marriage between him and Abby, not just for the financial gain, but also to prove that he was good enough. Because of the attack on Brandon and Emily in the previous book, the rest of the family split up, going in different directions. The Duke of Devonhall told Emily that she no longer had a choice but to marry Chad and that they were to take the Viscount of Vanity with them as a bodyguard. Bash would send another of their friends to take her cousin somewhere safe. With all options and choices removed from her, Emily wondered how she would ever feel that she was worthy of love if she never got the chance to find it for herself. Secrets began to unravel further as Chad and Abby worked together to understand the ins and outs of married life. Surprises seemed to lie around every corner and, when revealed, revamped and reshaped their very lives. The way the book ended on a bit of a cliffhanger was...irritating. However, it did end with a HEA and that's always a good thing, right? Still not a 5-star story, nor will it join the Keeper for the Shelves collection. Decent, but definitely better than some of the others in the series.
