Scandal of the Season was about Lord Sorin Latham, Earl of Wincanton, and Lady Eleanor Cramley, daughter of the late Duke of Ashford, as well as the cousin and ward of the current Duke and Duchess Ashford. Sorin and Eleanor had been long-time friends and neighbors. Ellie had always been a rather impetuous young lady and had a way of always getting into a scrape. Just before she turned 16, He and his mother had been charged with assisting Ellie with her debut into Society. However, Sorin had taken it upon himself to admonish her in her lack of decorum and it had severely damaged their friendship. Shortly after the incident, he left for war. Over the next five years, Ellie had been determined to transform herself from the "paragon of propriety" everyone deemed she should be and succeeded beyond everyone's hopes. Sorin returned five years later on Ellies 21st birthday to find her greatly changed and more beautiful than ever. Noting the marked differences in her demeanor, though, only brought about sadness and regret his harshness towards her so long ago. However, the chemistry and attraction he had felt for her five years previously had only increased upon seeing her again. Who needs enemies when one has vipers for friends? Ellie had a friend, Caroline, who, upon seeing Sorin, determined she, and not Ellie, would be his wife. Caroline went out of her way to gain his attention, even to the point of being inappropriate more often than not. Also, it seemed as if anyone who showed an interest in Ellie, Caroline was intent on pursuing. There was a bit of uncertainty on the friendship between the two girls, but I'll let the next reader learn what became of it. Everyone around Eleanor was determined to see her married with little to no regard for what it was SHE wanted. They were all determined to push her past her comfort zone and make her bend to their will...as was the nature of things in their era. The humor in the story was spectacular and much needed. Sparsed throughout in the right points of the book, it gave a much-earned respite from the constant drama and angst. While the romance of the story was a bit slow on the uptake it was, at least, present. There was even a bit of intrigue involved, mixed in with the jealousy, anger, regret Once Ellie made the decision that she did, in fact, want to marry Sorin, she made every effort to be the kind of woman that she believed would attract his attention. Since he had schooled her so harshly on decorum, she made certain there would never be anything "childish" about her, but that he would only ever see her as a mature woman and his equal. Sorin, for his part, desperately wanted Ellie's love but kept putting his foot in his mouth and making things worse for himself. Instead of being honest and open about his feelings, he just kept screwing up and keeping them to himself. For a man who was 12 years older, he instead acted like he was 12 years younger. With all the twists, turns, intrigue, and...yes...emotions this story had, it definitely kept the reader wondering what would happen next. It had a lot of surprises, some things not so surprising, and some of the things expected in such a book. However, as any author worth their weight in salt should know, they have to do the leg work for their books. They realize that the potential audience for their stories are not now, nor ever will be, idiots to not know when a book is badly written in some form or another. My biggest pet peeve in reading any book was grossly apparent for, once again, the author did not do proper research on the chosen material. This book? This book, once again, did not properly address the characters. Neither a Duke nor a Duchess is ever addressed as Lord or Lady or Sir or Ma'am. They are always...always...addressed as Your Grace. When an author fails to know their subject matter better than the reader then the author is setting themselves up for a lower rating and a possible no return from the audience. This book had the potential for a 5-star rating, a book that could have been added to my collection...but because of errors such as this, it won't. Even with the HEA, it still had moments that...lacked. It had grammatical errors and historical errors. Was it a good story? Sure. But a good story needs all of its components to be well written and, if it's not, then that detracts from the story. As it did here, unfortunately.
