Reviews

This book took my breath away.

WOW. Simply, wow. That is the only word I can use to describe this masterpiece. It has been such a long time since I have read such a rich, emotional and tension filled romance. Not only did Scandal have me hooked from the very first page, but this is the first book, in a very long time, where I had to read straight through into the wee hours of the night because I couldn't put it down. When an author can write such a book, that book is destined for greatness. I wouldn't be surprised if Scandal becomes one of the favorites of 2009, and perhaps placed on most reader's lists for all time favorite historical.
– Romance Novel TV

Readers looking for a deeply emotional and very well-written book will love this one. I have a certain weakness for flawed but redeemable characters, and this tale very much hit the spot. I cannot wait to see more historicals from this author in the future.
–All About Romance

Jewel plays readers' emotions like a virtuoso, ensuring they will eagerly follow her characters into dramatic, intensely passionate and gripping love stories that will steal your heart and make you beg for more. She grabs you at the first word and never lets go.

Appraise Based On Books Scandal (Historical Jewels)

I had no idea this book would make me scream And I mean scream in a good way. That's what that there gif is...screaming in a good way. And an excuse to post a shirtless man in aviator shades showing off his rack of steel and those super hero deltoids. Setting / Time / Genre: Regency-ishSeries: Dunno. But I should find out. Sexy times: Yes. Amazingly well done. Well described. I mean apparently Ms. Jewel had to act these out to get all of the body positioning correct. Well done, you, well done.

Carolyn Jewel's historicals are normally a breath of light, fresh air, bubbling over with an almost giddy sense of fun. But her latest, "Scandal", carried an air of heavy emotion that left me wondering where the cloud over my head came from! Sophie was just a young, impressionable girl when she fell in love with a fortune hunter. It didn't take long after their elopement for the stars to fall out of her eyes and leave her trying to maintain their home in the country while her husband caroused

Did not finish. Writing style too wordy. I was not interested in anything.I also did not like the jumping back in time. There are four chapters that interrupt the current story to tell a short back story about the main characters. I read those four chapters first and then went back to read the rest. It would have been better if the author told the entire back story first, and then proceeded to the current story. There was nothing in the back story that needed to be spread out the way it was. It

Gorgeous prose using period appropriate language. I felt Banallt's ache and longing quite acutely. He makes a wonderful hero, unwaveringly loyal, devastatingly handsome with enough past rakish experience to heat up their intimate scenes. Sophie, she takes too long to remove her blinders and see Banallt for what he is, rather than what the malicious gossips portray him to be.

I really loved this book.It's not a galloping romp through Regency London, but a study of the heartache, betrayal, cynicism and coldness left behind a rake's endless pursuit of pleasure. The plot is actually quite simple, but the writing, oh, the writing, is just so superb, that I could probably do a beautiful precis of the story and you would still be stunned by the book if you read it.It has strains of Persuasion, but is more of a step-by-step, breath-by-breath study of two people, their

Really, really good. Fans of historical romances will love this one. This author can write. It is also a very steamy, passionate read too. (She writes love scenes how I like them -- filled with passion, humor, buring heat but NOT full of body part descriptions and sex for the sake of sex. The scenes are very meaningful to the romance and the progression of the story.) This was my first book by this author, and until last week I had never even heard of her. I saw some reviews and thought what the

Whoa! I'm seeing tons of 4 and 5 star ratings for this book, but after reading it, I'm just not seeing where they're coming from. Did we read the same book?It was ok...ish, but for a romance novel it was also really hard to slog through. The widowed Earl of Banalt is desperately in love with the widowed Mrs. Sophie Evans. But since he used to be an unfaithful to his wife, and her husband used to be unfaithful to her, she won't give him a chance. Makes sense at first, right?It does!Except the
