Description

New York Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan kicks off her amazing new high concept series, The Scandalous Ladies of London, which chronicles the lives of a group of affluent ladies reigning over glittering, Regency-era London, vying for position in the hierarchy of the ton. They are the young wives, widows, and daughters of London’s wealthiest families. The drama is big, the money runs deep, and the shade is real. Life is different in the ton.

“My husband is a good man… just ask all the women he has bedded.”

Wealthy society maven Lady Gertrude knows how the world works. If her husband is less than faithful, it’s an acceptable price to pay for her coveted position at the apex of London’s most fashionable set. No exclusive soirée or lavish ball is complete without her and her group of decadent, well-connected friends. And this Season promises more excitement than usual: Tru is launching her daughter into Society, helping her navigate the cutthroat Marriage Mart, complete with fortune hunters, jealous debutantes, and malicious gossips.

As skilled as Tru is at playing the high-stakes games of the ton, she never expects to meet her match—until Jasper Thorne begins to court her daughter. Jasper needs a titled bride, but when he meets Tru, all his carefully laid plans go up in smoke. The attraction between Tru and Jasper is undeniable…and unacceptable. To indulge in an affair with her daughter’s suitor would be ruinous. If it becomes public, she’ll never survive the scandal. Especially as it becomes clear that he wants more than one night…he wants the impossible. He wants forever.

A sizzling story of scandalous ladies, irresistible temptation, and the dangers—and joys—of being true to yourself.

    4 Stars! I really enjoyed this book! It’s the first in a new series ‘The Scandalous Ladies of London’ by Sophie Jordan. The main characters are Tru & Jasper & it’s a forbidden romance with a slightly older woman and a HEA ending. At times it seemed to drag on a bit and I was skimming through but I still enjoyed the book. I still have a few questions that the short epilogue didn’t answer but they’ll probably be answered in the rest of series. I love that the series is focused on older women, by older I mean only in their 30’s. No naive school girls here! Definitely worth reading. I especially loved the ending and how everything got wrapped up and how it’s an original plot, I’ve never read anything like it before. *I received this at no charge & I voluntarily left this review.*
