A Taste of Scandal

Plenty of suspense and drama included in this bundle of sexy regency romances. There are eight great stories to choose from all are scandalous and steamy. I am a huge regency fan and getting a great bundle like this is a great way to find new authors. Enjoy!

What a wonderful eclectic steamy anthology of eight full length books by eight different authors – definitely worth the price for nearly 2000 pages of reading enjoyment!

To Wed the Widow by Megan Bryce:
An earl with four daughters needs an heir so calls home his brother home from India to provide an heir and a spare. Brother George’s eye is not caught or held by any of the young debutantes but instead finds Elinor, five times a widow, a woman he cannot forget. Will George do his duty? Will Elinor get what she really wants? Will the heir achieve his goal?

A Heartless Design by Elizabeth Cole:
Cordelia has secrets and doesn’t want them known. Sebastien’s activities as a spy have him looking for something and someone rather dangerous. How the two meet, overlap and become more over time provides a great story of daring with intrigue, foreign travel and a whole lot more!

Three Times the Scandal by Madelynne Ellis: Talk about HOT! This book made me think that there is nothing new under the sun and what is no doubt considered risqué today was probably just the same long ago. People are people with needs and wants and desires that may not be vanilla…and this story more than proves that this is so! Fortuna learns a LOT and makes herself into a new and very different woman before the story ends.

The Sweetest Revenge by Dawn Halliday:
This was a darker story. Women work together to seek revenge against a man that harmed them and others. Will the revenge be achieved? Will Leo and Isabelle find what they need apart or with one another?

Dark Persuasion by Vicki Hopkins:
Charlotte Gray was blinded in childhood by two boys in a tree. Many years later those same two boys, now men, start courting her. All three have changed. Which of the young men will win her heart? Will she find a true love with either of the men? Can one forgive the person who has changed your life forever?

Loving the Marquess by Suzanna Medeiros:
Genetic illness has Nicholas looking for a way to beget an heir without passing on the disease. Louisa is trying to keep a roof over the head of her siblings and finds herself betrothed. As the story unfolds more and more comes to light and eventually a happily ever after is found for both of them.

Educating Elizabeth by Kate Pearce:
This is another wonderful romance with spies, a woman given as payment for a gambling debt and both good and bad men doing what they do best. There are twists and turns with adventure aplenty in this wonderful telling of the love story of Gervaise and Elizabeth.

Bewitched by Sandra Schwab: Magic, standing stones, pagan religions, evil, revenge, family and more are part and parcel of Amelia and Sebastian’s story. I have always loved fairy tales and stories with magic and this was a very fun read to conclude the book with.

Message from Deet: This is a boxed collection of 8 full length novels. Normally I wait until I have read all the books in a collection before I write a review but this collection is available for a limited time and I don’t want you to miss out on this terrific price of $.99 for all 8 of them. I have read two of the books to date ( Megan Bryce’s To Wed The Widow and Madelynne Ellis’ Three Times The Scandal) and their reviews follow below along with the synopsis for the other books in the collection. The collection is available in the USA and UK and I suggest strongly that you pick this one up.

Megan Bryce -- To Wed the Widow George Sinclair would rather poke his eye out than appease his brother the earl, who thinks George ought to marry a dull, scandal-less wife. However, the oft-widowed Lady Haywood is a scandalous distraction that no gentleman can ignore.

Deet’s review: This book is number three in Megan Bryce’s The Reluctant Bride series. It is a standalone novel but I can guarantee that you will want to read more from this terrific author. This book contains the most delightful witty banter along with a well plotted story and superbly nuanced characters. I cannot praise this one high enough. It is well worth the $.99 you will spend on the entire collection. Don’t pass this up!!!! Deet’s rating: 5+, Sexy Rating: 5

Madelynne Ellis -- Three Times the Scandal Engaged to a man she despises, Fortuna Allenthorpe abandons duty and flees into the night with a notorious rakehell. Giles Dovecote isn't looking for a wife, but Fortuna makes him want things he considers off limits. How long can he hold fast to his principles, if they mean surrendering the woman he loves?

Deet’s Review:The title of this book refers to Giles Dovecoat and his two best friends, Robert and Ned Darleston. They are true Regency Rakehells. They believe in “Free Love” and have no intention of following all those pesky ton rules. Fortuna is eager to explore her sensual side and is not averse to doing that with all three, either together or singly. As you might have realized, this is a Historical Erotic Romance. If you don’t mind lots of sex with lots of participants then I think this is one you will truly enjoy. The writing is superb! There is a plot and there is romance as well as a mystery. This is book #4 in Ms. Ellis’ Scandalous Seductions series but is a standalone with only minor references to previous books. Again, certainly worth the price of this $.99 collection. Deet’s Rating: 5, Sexy Rating: 5+

Lots of tales and scandals. I loved them! Especially, .. Three times the scandal, Educating Elizabeth, and the Sweetest Revenge. Yummy steamy tales that were fun to read and kept me glued to the very end. Absolutely Amazing!

I loved this collection of books! Probably one of my favorites I have read this year. My favorite book in the collection was "Dark Persuasion" by Vicki Hopkins. In this book, Charlotte has been blind since an accident when she was eight, she met two mean boys in the woods and one of them pushed her off a limb and she became blind. She is pretty courageous for a blind young lady and she ends up being introduced to society. She meets two brothers, Patrick and Rupert, but she doesn't know that they are the reason for her blindness. Patrick starts to fall in love with her, but Rupert is only out to seduce her. Which brother will she choose? Will she ever "see" through Rupert's scheme and will she find out that Patrick was responsible for her accident? This story was very good!
Madelynne Ellis' book was hot enough to melt your Kindle, as was Dawn Halliday's!

A collection of delightful. romantic, steamy fun! Introduced me to some new authors and left me wanting more of their work - the perfect regency escape!

A great collection of eight romantic tales for avid historical romance enthusiasts and those wanting to delve for the first time in this genre, as well. For the low price, you simply can't go wrong with this bundle of literary romantic goodness.
