Joint discussion: Do you want to start a scandal by Tessa Dare

 



Hello all! We will be discussing "Do You Want to Start a Scandal" by Tessa Dare. Blodeuedd is in red and Carole is in purple.





Author: Tessa Dare

Title: Do You Want to Start a Scandal
Series: Castles Ever After #4
Genre: Historical Romance
Published: September 27, 2016
Pages: 272

Summary:
On the night of the Parkhurst ball, someone had a scandalous tryst in the library.
• Was it Lord Canby, with the maid, on the divan?
• Or Miss Fairchild, with a rake, against the wall?
• Perhaps the butler did it.

All Charlotte Highwood knows is this: it wasn’t her. But rumors to the contrary are buzzing. Unless she can discover the lovers’ true identity, she’ll be forced to marry Piers Brandon, Lord Granville—the coldest, most arrogantly handsome gentleman she’s ever had the misfortune to embrace. When it comes to emotion, the man hasn’t got a clue.

But as they set about finding the mystery lovers, Piers reveals a few secrets of his own. The oh-so-proper marquess can pick locks, land punches, tease with sly wit... and melt a woman’s knees with a single kiss. The only thing he guards more fiercely than Charlotte’s safety is the truth about his dark past.

Their passion is intense. The danger is real. Soon Charlotte’s feeling torn. Will she risk all to prove her innocence? Or surrender it to a man who’s sworn to never love?

Discussion:

I have been reading Dare for so many years, and she is always fun 🙂



I’ve read some. She is fun! And I like that I could skip to this one. I think I’m missing a book or two of the series but it did well as a standalone which is always nice. 



I just took a look again, and it is Spindle Cove nr 5, but! Castles nr 4! No wonder it works like a stand alone. And yes I have read some here and there. At the moment I am reading a book where Charlotte is 14



Awwwwww I do plan on backtracking. This was fun and I want to see the others fall in love. 



I am going to do Spindle Cove the missing ones :D I fear September will be a Dare month, but that is good.



I’m beginning to feel that too. I crave more of her books! :D 



I liked this one cos omg that beginning. I had to hide my face in laughter and giggled as I was out walking




This was very funny!!!!! Especially with the aubergine! LOLLLLL



It was just the perfect mix of funny and cute



It really was. The drama was there but it didn’t take too long to fix. I loved this couple. 



I kept trying to solve the mystery too, but I honestly suck at solving mysteries



There wasn’t much given to solve it. I think the author did it on purpose. The solution had me rolling in laughter.



It was a tricky one! 

Cute couple, good times, I even liked her mother. Sure, meddling for sure, but she wanted the best. The one I could not stand was her besties sister, ugh!



Oooh that friend Frances or something another. She can rot for all I care. She was mean and terrible. I GET that she was looking out for her sister, but was she? I think she was just jealous of Charlotte. 



I did like Edmund? Though. Omg honestly all the times he was shouting murderer made me lol



Bless him. That little boy just wanted to solve the murder so bad. A part of me thought maybe he wasn’t wrong. Hahahahaha. 



I think he will solve crimes when he grows up!



Awww I hope so. Maybe we’ll get a book for him ;) Maybe Piers will take the lad under his wings.



I could see that in the future. I really do not have a lot to say about this book cos I was amused all the way through. Def read it, listen to it, and do not give one thought which order it is in.



I’m sure the audio is a lot of fun. I did the ebook and I enjoyed it immensely!! I bet the audio is fun ;) But yes, this was a gem. It was funny, had heart, and a great cast of characters. 



Awesome narration. Nothing to complain about there



Love that! Maybe I’ll try and see if my library has the audio for one of the others of the series. I do plan on reading the others. Maybe, like you said, this might end up being the month of Dare. Darempter. Hehe



I have a mix of things coming up, spindle cover and castle ever after. Good times ;D Oh and one from a series that I loved, but I never read one of the books. Gotta catch them all



Hahahahaha I choose you Dare!



I dare you to Dare



Yessss!!!!! The end?



The end

  1. I have several of her books on my kindle but I've never read anything by her.

    It's good you can just pick one up without being too lost.
