The Scandal of It All

The Rogue Files

De: Sophie Jordan

Narrado por: Carmen Rose

It takes two to make a scandal....

What kind of woman ventures into London's most notorious pleasure club? An outsider like Graciela, the Duchess of Autenberry, snubbed time and time again by society because of her Spanish roots. Ela longs to take a lover for a single wild night, and within the walls of Sodom there are gentlemen to suit every forbidden taste. If only she were not so drawn to the smoldering Lord Strickland...a dangerous man who sees beyond her mask and could ruin her reputation with a mere whisper.

Lord Strickland never permitted himself to fantasize about the sultry, off-limits lady, but then he never expected to find Ela in a place so wicked, looking for what he's more than too happy to give. She may not be to the ton's taste, but she suits him perfectly. First, however, he must convince her to trust in this dangerous desire - and in the promise of forever unleashed by one wild, scandalous night.

Cute Story

It’s a cute story. I thought H and Hr had great chemistry. The love scenes were hot. This is my first Sophie Jordan book. I’ll definitely read more of her stories.

I loved this book.

I really enjoyed this book. I love that she was older than him. I loved the intensity and persistence of his love and desire for her. The steamy scenes were well done and I felt their passion.
I was happy for the ending.
The narrator was generally acceptable but I think another narrator could have made the book better. Her pronunciation is very clear which is nice but her style of reading sounds detached. In addition, she Spanish/English accent sounded fabricated and the lead female was supposed to be a fluent Spanish speaker but every time she uttered something in Spanish, it was very unnatural.

What a great spicy story

I am absolutely loving this book series. Not only is it a great story with great characters but there's some really great love scenes. This book was way better than the first. I'm looking forward to reading the third book.

Beautiful Unexpected Love

This was a beautiful story of a love finally realized. At first I was less than happy with Colin’s pushy behavior toward Ella and her fear of life. It all became clear as they faced the ton’s judgement and deepened their love. The character development was rushed in some places; perhaps that’s the way of life when someone has to break free of cultural norms to accept who they are. Love chooses you.

Happily, ever after

I really enjoyed this story the way I expected it to go author. She has lots of twists and turns in her stories and I am reading them in order and so farI have really enjoyed them.. if you enjoy going through so many different emotions this author is for you?

Sumptuous series

Loved them all. Delectable story, with Carmens sensuous voice makes this another winner in my opinion!

two souls who need each other

Jordan shows her uncanny ability to develop characters with deep emotions and yearnings. and yet the tale is woven in a way that is not quite predictable but a pleasure to follow to the end. Jordan binds them in their deepest needs for love and acceptance. I love this series, each book is a lush, sexy tale with an intensity to each it's own.

A great second book to this series!

Especially after the unoriginal first installment! This was much more on track with what I’ve come to expect from Sophie Jordan. She’s been an auto by for me since Rosalie, or was it Aralia? Both were so good!

😍

I haven’t stayed up reading a book in a long time! I loved this older woman and younger man trope. Even so I loved Ela’s innocence in spite of her age and how she had tried so hard to fit in. Seems so unfair her friend could have all these incident free flings and then Ela tries one and she gets caught. Welp that was the story I guess! Ela had a bad first marriage and 10 years a widow she’s ready to try an affair, meets family friend Colin at a seedy brothel like place and things escalated from there but really it felt like the pages FLEW by! I couldn’t put it down! Well done!

Like every romance

It’s good until the first smooch - then the heroines lose their damn minds and become melodramatic weak willed and love (read this as lust) crazed. And sadly don’t know the difference
