Wicked Scandal is the 3rd book in USA Today Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer's, Amazon #1 Regency Sinners series.Author's Note: All the books in the very sexy Regency Sinners series are complete and HEA stories. The stories are connected by the friendship of the eight heroes.Lord Sebastian Trentham, Marquis of Deveril, known to his close acquaintances as Devil, is the third of the eight gentlemen known as The Sinners, tasked with discovering which of eight ladies in Society has been acting as a spy for Napoleon. He is expected to do this by fair means or foul.Alys doesn't know whether to be distressed or angry when her brother informs her he has invited the Marquis of Deveril, along with several other of his male acquaintances, to join him for a weeklong shoot at their manor house in Worcestershire.The last time the marquis visited Alys's home, she discovered him with a pistol in his hand as he stood over the dead body of her father.Devil is not looking forward to returning to Newcomb Manor and only accepted Sir Teddy Newcomb's invitation because of the need to clear Alys Newcomb's name of any wrongdoing. Not that she would thank Devil for it if she knew that was his intention. Alys believes she has every reason to dislike and distrust him, and nothing Devil says or does will convince her otherwise.From the minute the two of them meet again, sexual tension flares into life and refuses to be extinguished. Much as Alys might fight against it. When circumstances force the two of them into a hasty betrothal that sexual attraction flares out of control. But if Devil didn't kill Alys's father, then the real murderer must still be at large?… (mehr)

This one feels considerably weaker than the first two. The plot was transparent, the villain was one dimensional, I didn't really feel the deeper connection these characters were claiming to have, and they both made poor decisions. She had been awfully quick to believe the absolute worst of the man she "loved" years before (and on very flimsy 'evidence'), which is one thing, but then for her to still be convinced of it years later, *and still* repeatedly allow him to kiss her... I just can't fathom. I question that it was really love to begin with, if it took only one suspicious thing to convince her he was a murderer, despite his protestations, (and it didn't sound like they'd really shared anything beyond casual interactions before anyway, and didn't know what the other felt, so it seems pretty unlikely it could have been more than a crush), and I really question a person's mental state who would willingly kiss the man they believe shot their father in the back in cold blooded murder. The plot and these other aspects likely aren't the main draw for readers anyway, but Mortimer has had pretty decent ones previously regardless. Overall this one was just okay. ( )
