A Proper Scandal

By: Esther Hatch

Narrated by: Abbigail Warren

Grace Sinclair has been callously cast out of her home. And though taken in as an orphaned child by the vicar and his wife, her unsurpassed beauty makes it impossible for her to remain in the vicar’s household - with two daughters of their own about to enter Society, the vicar and his wife see Grace as nothing but competition. Thankfully, Grace’s estranged Aunt Bell has agreed to take her in to her home in London. But Grace soon learns her situation has just gotten much worse.

It takes only a moment’s acquaintance for Grace to ascertain that her aunt has married a detestable rake. And Aunt Bell, recognizing the danger of having her lovely niece too near her husband, gives Grace an ultimatum: The young woman has two weeks to find a man to marry, after which she will be turned out. With no experience in the art of attracting a husband, Grace quickly realizes that a worthy suitor might not be so easy to ensnare.

Fun story

This story made me laugh so much! Well written and I would recommend to anyone. I docked one star because towards to end there were some clicking sounds that distracted from the story.

Strong female lead

I enjoyed this book however and went at a slower pace than I would prefer but overall it was a good book.

Great Story

I really enjoyed this book. This writer is great. I will be getting the second book for sure.

Such a great story!

I love the characters in this story. Every interaction is so cute and full of life. Everything is stacked against them being together and yet fate has a way of making it all work out. I loved the ending and especially the epilog. It was good to see the bag guy get what he deserved and then some.

Loved it

Couldn't put it down. The best part was the ending where everyone received their just deserts.

Great story

I loved this book so much! I enjoyed the flirtation, banter, and humor. Would recommend 100 stars

Slow start, but great ending!

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

I listened to this on audible. The narrator was great! I felt like the first few chapters took me some time to get into. But once Grace was deep into trouble, the interest picked up. The second half of the book, once Nathaniel was more involved and trying to resist Grace (and failing), the interest was high and I couldn’t get enough!

A sweet story

I wasn’t sure if I was going to finish this book at first. The narrator is American, however after the first 2 chapters it didn’t really bother me so much anymore as I became engrossed in the characters and the story. It was a little bit too long and I felt it dragged towards the end and I was becoming a little bored especially when they were going through a rough patch. There was not enough passion for me but otherwise a sweet lovely story.

Characters shallow and plot even less interesting

Plot shallow and very drawn out over so many hours - thought it would never get to the conclusion

Goodison story, narration took away from it

This story is probably a good one, but the narrator is not a good match. I would've preferred either the whole story in an American accent or have a narrator that actually has a British/English accent. Switching between both was too distracting, and the fabricated accent not the best. The FMC sounded whiny most if the time, and the MMC sounded too annoyed all the time.
