Lady Scandal by Laura Lee Guhrke
4.0
lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the eARC of Lady Scandal!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I don't love the hate to love trope.  I think it is really difficult to strike a balance between being able to build that tension while also not making the characters hate each other too much.

I should not have been surprised that Laura Lee Guhrke was able to write one I actually enjoyed though!  I loved Bookshop Cinderella so I was excited to read Lady Scandal and it did not disappoint!  While Guhrke is able to put Delia and Simon at odds professionally, their personalities are more grumpy/sunshine which helps to make them falling for each other more believable later.  I can't wait to read the next book in the Scandal at the Savoy series!
