In the wake of a fire that decimates his racing stock, Christian Andrews, the Marquess of Amstead, struggles to keep his family's stud farm from slipping into ruin and painstakingly rebuilds the program. When one of his prime stallions is injured, he notices his new assistant trainer has a special way with the horses. As talented as the trainer is, once he realizes he is a she…and a very beautiful, spirited she at that…he should sack her before scandal breaks. But it’s only weeks before the high stakes race he’s counting on to build back his fortune, and Flora should be by his side for the win.
Miserable under the weight of the ton’s expectations, headstrong Lady Flora Campbell laments her privileged life in London. Embracing her dream of working with racehorses, she disguises herself as a lad and slips away to learn as much as she can from England’s premiere expert, Christian Andrews, never thinking of the scandal she courts but the glory to be had.
Although she develops a tendre for the dashing marquess, she can never let on that she’s not only a woman, but the daughter of a duke...

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . TO TAME A SCANDALOUS LADY (Once Upon a Scandal, #3) . . . For me this was a first lady of the ton as a horse trainer. That alone got me to want to read. Then opening the pages and finding out more about the losses to the Marquess of Amstead, Christian and the talent he had beneth his roof was just that push to keep turning the pages. I enjoyed watching Flora and Christian sort of dance around each other and still have the sparks and fire. Flora was the makings for a scandal lthat Christian and his goall to rebuild did not need.
Flora was young, strong, determined and beautiful. She also had the skills that was needed to do the job she wanted to do. The fact that she was a lady was the henderance to what she watned. So of course, dress as a boy. Now, in disquise she gets to do what she wanted most in the world. But she never accounted for the fact that she would be attracted to the very man she wanted to learn from.
For Christian and Flora it all comes down to love for each other or love for the one thing they both want more.
The writing was on point. The story for me was captivating and page turning. I wanted to know how they two both got what they wanted and how it would impact their relationship with each other.
