A Proper Scandal



Grace Sinclair has a problem and only two weeks to solve it. She must find a gentleman man who is willing to marry her or else she will be homeless. So begins Grace's hunt for that man. The only man who she thinks is suitable is Nathaniel Barton who helped her in a potentially dangerous situation when first arriving in London. 

I enjoyed Grace's attempts at trying to entrap Nate into marrying her. She is inexperienced in social situations and speaking to men and the advice that her younger cousin, Georgiana gives her backfires. Grace bumbles, both literally and figuratively while being with Nate, which makes the story lighthearted and entertaining. I am glad she found her own way of being who she really was instead of what others wanted her to be. 

This was a fun book as Nathaniel tries his best to escape Grace's schemes of matrimony.  I found Nate to be a wonderful man of integrity and of high moral principles, even when facing his growing affection for Grace. "His life had been a drudgery before she entered it. But it was a controlled drudgery. A drudgery he had chosen and even truthfully enjoyed. One thing was certain: life was simpler and his breathing more normal when Miss Sinclair was not around."

This is the first book in the Proper Scandals series.  There are several characters who have been introduced that I hope they have their own story in the near future. I would recommend this book if you like clean Regency romances.
