Scandal of the Summer was a high stakes romance with all of the allure and temptation you could want! Ruby, Archer, and their crew of both humans and animals brought along so much enjoyment. The premise of the book- two individuals posing as someone else to the other- was hilarious, and a new take for me on historical romance.

On paper, Ruby and Archer are not compatible. In real life? The tension and chemistry is sizzling. Their individual stubbornness made for some delightful banter, and there’s nothing I love more than good banter. The setting of Pomoroy House has that perfect historical romance feel & there wasn’t a dull moment on these pages!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and going for a literal adventure with Ruby and Archer. I am chomping at the bit now for the next book in this series! Without spoiling this one… there is a lot more going on that I’m going to need to see through to its end. Alexandra Vasti has me completely hooked and I absolutely adore her historical romances!

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and St. Martin’s Griffin for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
