A Season for Scandal

What a tangled path it took these 2 together. Fate took over and gave them a forever they never dreamed possible....well worth your time to read..... April H, FL

Josie gets her story and HEA in this book. It is not with the man she always wanted, but I love seeing how what starts out as a marriage of convenience slowly turns into a true partnership- both in the marriage and in spycraft.

They mystery part is very good. The bouts of sadism are a bit much.

Another great historical romance from Golden Angel. Love these head strong women who hide their abilities from society so as not draw attention. Elijah has always known Josie but never dreamed he would be marrying her. Josie has loved Elijah’s brother for a long as she can remember. Now unfortunate circumstances are throwing Elijah and Josie together. He’s going to discover things about her even she didn’t know.

A Season for Scandal is the second book in the Deception and Discipline series. Josie has been in love with her best friend’s cousin for years, but in a season full of suspense and trying to help find a traitor, she’s the center of potential scandal and is forced to marry the wrong brother. Elijah is terrified his new wife will be used against him, so while he wants to push her away, he can’t help but release their passion. Will this reluctant couple learn to love and trust each other before the danger catches up to them? Wow! This book had me hooked! I barely put this book down because I needed to know what would happen next! I was so curious about the traitor and what Elijah and Josie could uncover, both together and separately, but I was also dying to know how their relationship would develop! Their passion and connection could be felt right away, but I loved that neither one of them particularly wanted to be married to the other and that neither really knew what to do about their marriage! Josie was a bit of a romantic dreamer, but she was fearless and one not to be underestimated. I loved that she put one face on to the society, but only let the select few see beyond that. Elijah was, phew, he just gives me the best kind of shivers thinking of him. He was stern and dominant, I loved his darker sides that came out, and I loved that he wanted not just loyalty from his wife, but ultimately her heart. Elijah had to quickly change his views on having a woman in his life, but I loved that he wasn’t afraid to apologize when he realized he was wrong. I adored this couple together. They were fire. They were passion. They were explosive! Their scenes were thrilling, but I thought it was beautiful that they also needed to have more than just a physical connection, but a partnership. The danger in this book was just as captivating as the dynamic of this couple. I am seriously loving this series and cannot wait to read the next book!

Much as I love Golden Angel and her spanking good stories, this series is not working in my opinion. In particular the spy storyline is failing with its lack of consistency. The attempt to marry the domestic discipline with a feminist assertion is equally not working.

I adored book 1, A Season For Treason, but I absolutely devoured A Season For Scandal. Elijah and Josie’s story is sizzling, laugh out loud funny and left me wondering where the author will take the suspense throughout the series. Not that I’m complaining, I love that I can’t guess what’s going to happen next. Whatever she does I know it’ll be funny, steamy and have me on the edge of my seat.
