But when he meets her, the fiery chit is not what he expects to find in a ruined lady. As desire flares hotly between them, honor is the last thing on his mind . . .

I have permanently loved Sophie Jordan novels in the past but this was a huge disappointment. After a gripping opening, it was downhill. The tale line was beyond slow and predictable. The hero and heroine (Spencer and Evie) were rather two dimensional and adolescent. Many of the secondary characters were equally cliched in their renderings: the evil stepmother, the vapid ex- like interest of the hero, etc. The internal conflicts Spencer and Evie faced could have been easily resolved with one decent conversation. I’d take a pass on this one…wish I had.

My first review ever.
This book was major disappointment. Half the characters behave in ways that make no sense. Backstories are told that are never addressed in the narrative. Both main characters are idiots and the consumation is a huge event that it drags on and on and on until you don’t care if they do it or not. No man would place up with what our hero did and no hero would force a woman to remove your clothes outdoors in dead of winter so he could have her against a tree to prove something.
The secondary characters are just as shallow. The evil stepmother never gets what’s coming to her. The whimpy father has one moment of unbelievable bravery. The friends show up at the last minute and do virtually nothing. Evelyn’s entire past is never revealed to clarify her actions and she forgives her spouse way too easily for way too much verbal and physical abuse.
I have never read a worse book by this leader and I don’t plot to waste money on another.

Loved the book! Quick paced, appealing twists and fantastic sex scenes…I can’t know why anyone would diss this- another fantastic read by the talented Ms. Jordan.

I painstakingly loved Sophie Jordan’s In Scandal They Wed. The heroine, Evie Cross, is well-crafted, containing both noble and broken traits. Combined with the tasty hero, Spencer Lockhart, and an appealing twist on flawed identity, this high-stakes past kept me engaged from take in to take in.
I recommend this book lacking reservation to any past romance fan.

Evie, being the kindhearted soul that she is, agrees to pose as a widow and raise her half-sister’s (Linnie) bastard child when her evil step mother wants to “get rid of it.” Ian is desperately in like with Linnie, who for reasons unknown refuses to marry her or visit her in over 4 years, despite the fact he writes her weekly even lacking getting a response. As Ian lies dying he questions his cousin, Spenser, to look after Linnie and the child.
It is a slightly confusing premise based on a lot of miscommunication and deceit. Spenser is the main reason this tale didn’t work for me. He is just unadorned mean to Evie. He is nice for only a handful of pages, and also in the end uses sex to “punish” her. That NEVER sits well with me. Because of his antics the ending was utterly unsatisfying, it might had ongoing out that Evie was in the incorrect but after Spenser’s behavior he was the one utterly and really incorrect and both physically and mentally abusive. If I were Evie I would not have taken him back because of his abusive ways because he might start to abuse Nicholas, the child she is raising, as well as herself.
The thought that Evie never tells Spenser she is not the mother of Nicholas is just ridiculous, she has no reason not to tell, being no judge would ever take a child away from his aunt to give to a bachelor 2nd cousin so her dread is silly, and it’s even more ridiculous to thing that after Spenser has sex with her he doesn’t realize she has the body of a woman who never had a child. He got around reasonably a bit so I reflect that’s something he should have noticed, even if he managed to take Evie’s virginity lacking even noticing.
Not trying to give away the ending too much, but when Spenser shows up and declares his like, it is utterly ridiculous that Evie would suddenly accept that he is telling the truth, based on both his past behavior and the fact she was treated like a red-headed stepchild since his father got remarried, being sent away to a horrible school (reflect something out of David Copperfield or Jane Eyre) and forced to work as a companion (I judge) while Linnie was being groomed to marry a titled gentleman. She should have been too hurt to suddenly judge he loved her when all he did to prove it was show up. There are too many inconsistencies, coincidences and deception to make this one work. No one’s past influences the present and no one is willing to communicate or be honest, and then the pot thinks he has a right to abuse the kettle for being black too.
Really disappointing read, when it could have been so much better if the characters were just a small more emotionally and mentally intelligent.
2 stars.
