The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . SOME LIKE IT SCANDALOUS (The Gilded Age Girls Club, #4) . . . Maya Rodale give some of the more fun historical romance that I have read. I enjoy very much picking up one of her romances and seeing where it takes me. I love that so makes the titles feel like something familiar.
With Some Like it Scandalous we get us a pair of enemies that turn to lovers and then so much more. The game of pretend or convenience makes its claim know and staked on the hearts of two very unsuspecting individuals.
Daisy and Theodore Prescott the Third makes to most of their fake engagement. The take full advantage of all the offerings of being respectable in public and behind closed doors things were certainly different.
I can only say that again I had fun with Maya's latest offering. I do very much look forward to more of the friends, family and other characters meet while traveling this journey with Theo and Daisy.
BLURB They are sworn enemies…
Theodore Prescott the Third, one of Manhattan’s Rogues of Millionaire Row, has really done it this time. The only way to survive his most recent, unspeakably outrageous scandal is marry someone respectable. Someone sensible. Someone like Daisy Swann. Of all the girls in Gilded Age Manhattan, it had to be her.
Pretending to be lovers...
Daisy Swann has plans and they do not involve a loveless marriage with anyone. But when a devastating family secret threatens to destroy her standing in society, suddenly a fake engagement with Theo is just the thing to make all her dreams come true.
And now it’s time to kiss and make up…
Daisy Swann aspires to sell cosmetics that she has created, but this brainy scientist needs a smooth talking charmer’s flair for words and eye for beauty to make it a success. Before long, Daisy and Theo are trading kisses. And secrets. And discovering that despite appearances, they might be the perfect couple after all.

EXCERPT
“But you definitely must try harder to act like you’re seducing me,” she said. “I’m not feeling the slightest bit breathless or weak in the knees or whatever it is girls feel when they’re being swept off their feet.”
“My apologies,” he murmured. Then he dropped the reins and turned to her, intent on giving her a taste of her own medicine. “Let’s fix that immediately.”
“You don’t have to do it right now—”
He gave her his wolfish smile. Then he leaned in close to whisper in her ear, but words failed him for a second. She smelled good. It was that heady fragrance. And her skin was smooth and dewy and just lovely. Hers was a complexion that begged to be caressed. That was just the skin politely exposed; he idly wondered about the rest of her . . .
Finally, he remembered what he meant to say. Something romantic and seductive. Two could play at this game of irritating each other profoundly.
“What do you say we return to that gazebo and see if it’s empty so we can be alone?”
“To do what, exactly?”
“Get to know each other better. Intimately.”
Had they been alone he might have kissed her earlobe. Desire flared when the thought occurred to him.
Thank God they were not alone.
