Love in the Time of Scandal

Scandals, Book 3

By: Caroline Linden

Narrated by: Beverley A. Crick

Penelope Weston does not like Benedict Lennox, Lord Atherton. He may be the suave and charming heir to an earl as well as the most handsome man on earth, but she can't forget how he abandoned a friend in need - nor how he once courted her sister, Abigail. He's the last man she would ever marry. If only she didn't feel so attracted to the arrogant scoundrel....

Once upon a time, Benedict thought that he and Penelope got along rather well. Though he needs a wealthy bride to escape his cruel father's control, spirited Penelope just doesn't suit his plans for a model marriage - until a good deed goes awry, and scandalous rumors link his name to Penelope's. She might not be the quiet, sensible wife he thought he wanted, but she is beautiful, beguiling, and far more passionate than he ever imagined. Can a marriage begun in scandal become a love match, too?

Contains mature themes.

Critic reviews

"[F]abulously entertaining...." ( Booklist)

Sweet story

I really liked both of the main characters and the narcissistic father was too real. I really wanted the bad guy to be taken out in this book, but alas, it must wait for another book in the series.

Wanted: more time with this wonderful series!

This is such a good series with interesting characters, exciting plots and yummy sexual interludes. With a perfectly wonderful narrator and lots of surprises it's a series to love!

Love conquers many things

Character development. The characters are drawn with some depth. Despicable characters get their just deserts.

Great listen

Enjoyed the story. Not sure sure I liked the ‘giggles’ but found the steamy scenes to my liking! Haha

Oh my heart.

Oh my heart, “I’d rather die trying to save her than live being your heir!” Great story, great narration!
