by Sarah MacLean, 384 pagesJuliana Fiori is billed as scandalous from her first introduction to society. Everyone assumes that she's just like her mother who abandoned her highborn husband and sons then later married an Italian merchant, Juliana's father. Juliana tolerates this closed mindedness impatiently, paying only slight attention to the rules and living the way she pleases. The only person whose opinion she can't quite ignore is the stuffy Duke of Leighton who prizes reputation above all else. Juliana sets out to prove to him that there is more to life than following society's rules, but she might just lose her heart in the process.
This is the third in a series, Juliana's story coming after her two older brothers. MacLean is great with creating lovable characters and tugging on the heart strings. Eleven Scandals was full of the drama that comes with falling in love and figuring out what matters in life. It wasn't quite the romp that the title suggests, but I'll happily trade that for the lovely emotional story that emerged instead.
