This book! I loved the first and couldn’t wait to read the second! I’m so happy NetGalley gave me that chance with the ARC! Thank you NetGalley!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of A Lady's Guide to Scandal by Sophie Irwin in exchange for my honest review and opinion. I read the debut book by Sophie Irwin and was beyond excited to be given the opportunity to read this before all my friends and family. I can say, I liked it but didn't love it. Felt it was a bit slow at times and didn't truly hold my interest. I would read a few pages and then put it down as I just wasn't invested. I'm hoping to read more by this author in the future.

While I found this book to be overall enjoyable, I'm not a huge fan of love triangles. Definitely scratches that "I just watched Bridgerton and I want to get into the regency era" itch.

The book started off rather slow and was hard to get hooked, but I ending up liking the ending. However, I would recommend the first book in this series over the second.

The novel weaves a delightful narrative that balances humor, romance, and the consequences of Eliza's choices, especially with her late husband's nephew. Irwin's writing captures the essence of a heroine unapologetically shaping her future. A Lady's Guide to Scandal is a captivating historical romance, blending wit and adventure to deliver an engaging and satisfying read for fans of the genre.

I had high hopes but this installment let me down. It was a struggle to get into the story.

The love triangle was such a letdown. It didn't really show us anything new about the MC. One of the love connections is also really weak.

I loved outlander, and i love the royal family so I thought I would enjoy this story., It was definitely a cute and cozy romance and the characters are likeable. I would definitely consider re-reading this book, and reading other books by Sophie!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Thank you!

When is the next Sophie Irwin book coming out?! I love the colorful descriptions in this book - - the sky was purpling. Such vivid impressions, along with a lovely storyline.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was interesting book and I enjoyed it so much. I hope to read more from this author soon.

Thank you to netgalley for give me an opportunity.

Maybe not as perfect as the first one, but still pretty awesome! And here I was thinking that it would be a series about the same protagonist over and over, but NOPE. It’s dope. 🤣💜📚

Sophie Irwin's A Lady's Guide to Scandal is a deligthful regency romance. I love Sophie Irwin so much more than other regency romance writers because her characters are intelligent and her dialogue is witty.

Not a huge fan of cheating/ love triangles in general but I feel like this one was not really well. I had trouble getting into this book. The plot didn’t flow as nicely as her last books.

Loved this entry into the series, The characters were lovable and independent, I saw the "twist" coming but it was still a worth while read.

This was a fun book to read.
It wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, but I had a good time.
Definitely a little outside my comfort zone though

The writing is solid, creating a vivid atmosphere, but the plot is a mix of captivating moments and predictability. Characters are well-developed, though some lack depth. Pacing fluctuates, making it a decent but not outstanding read.

I am in my Regency romance era, and I greatly enjoyed A Lady's Guide to Scandal by Sophie Irwin. Miss Eliza Balfour is widowed and able to live life on her own terms (or at least able to push the bounds of society), and she's also met with a second chance at love.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me. All thoughts are my own.

I had high hopes for this book. Wording and sentences were very choppy and too many characters all mentioned at once made this very hard to follow. Did not finish.

“Was she really to allow any man to make such demands of her, anymore? Allow her life to be ordained, in perpetuity, by their high-handed judgements or capricious moods?”

I really enjoyed this follow-up to A Lady's Guide to Fortune-Hunting. It's a stand alone novel, not a sequel so feel free to read this one first, but I really recommend reading both. I love a good love triangle when it's done right. When they're done wrong, I really can't handle reading them. Fortunately in this case it was the former. I went back and forth rooting for both couples but ended up loving the ending. Historical Romance is a new genre for me and this author in particular has really caused me to want to read more of it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Books for providing me a digital reviewer copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.

A Lady’s Guide To Scandal by Sophie Irwin was was a fun and delightful regency-era read! I enjoyed returning back to Miss Eliza Balfour - when we left her in the first book ten years prior she was married to the austere Earl of Somerset, twenty years her senior. Now widowed and an independently wealthy woman, we follow her to Bath with her cousin Margaret to pursue Bath’s most alluring bachelor, the infamous Lord Melville.

There are a lot of laughs and delightful moments Sophie Irwin is well known for that made this read so enjoyable for me. Highly recommend!

A Lady’s Guide to Scandal is the 2nd book of The Lady’s’ Guide series and can be read as a stand alone novel. A bit slow at first but ok in the end. Widowed, Eliza finds herself in a position to create her future. We follow through ups and downs, what choices will she make? Where will they take her.
