Slightly Scandalous

So I'm sitting here in McDonald's wondering if anyone is ever going to read my blog.

It doesn't even come up in search engines. I tried.

Anyway, I suppose I should talk about the most recent book that I finished.

I dared myself to read a romance novel and while I was in Pennsylvania I came across a little cafe where the owner was selling a bunch of romance novels for 50 cents in the corner. I bought one.

Slightly Scandalous by Mary Balogh. I chose this book because there wasn't a ridiculous picture of some half naked guy and a woman with her boobs hanging out and also because it didn't have some revolting title like Undressing the Duke or something like that.

Surprisingly, this book ended up being a lot better than I had ever anticipated. It is the story about the sister of a duke, Lady Freyja Bedwyn and how she enters into a fake betrothal with the roguish Joshua Moore, the Marquess of Hallmere.

Slightly scandalous incidents ensue.

Of course this book was highly predictable. From the first page I knew that Lady Freyja and the Marquess would get together in the end, but it was entertaining nonetheless. I would liken it to a vacation for my brain. A welcome vacation what with all the stress that I've had lately.

Anyway, I would give this book oh, three out of five stars I guess. It wasn't Shakespeare but it did it's job well. And who knows, maybe this will prompt me to read the rest of the books in the series (Yes, it is part of a series. Each book is about another member of the Bedwyn family. There are six brothers and sisters in all.)

Anyways, til tomorrow,

Sarah
