Rating 4 1/2 StarsThe first thing that popped in my mind by the time I finished the story was unique. Yes, the heroine is a bit of a blue-stock, but so are her sisters. Normally, you just find one young woman in the family whose a bit of a blue-stock instead of all the sisters. However, they are vary of degrees of blue-stocking. In Cara Elliot's Scandalously Yours, we focus more on the eldest, Olivia Sloane, who is considered odd by the ton. She goes out of her way to be different, because she doesn't care what society really thinks of her. While her ideas would be a bit off the wall, this charming young lady holds some secrets.Then we meet the Earl of Wrexham, who would be consider a stick in the mud. He's on the hunt to find the perfect countess, after all he has a young boy at home who is in need of a mother. So, he's trying find the perfect woman among the "simpering featherhead" young ladies. Of course, he believes he has  found a likely candidate in Lady Serena, yet his son, Prescott would disagree. Nope he sees her as Lady Steel Corsets. So, Prescott sets out to find the perfect match for his father. Oh dear.Let's just say that Scandalously Yours is a fun witty read. I mean you have John (Earl of Wrexham) has his handful throughout this book, as he's trying to find his a step-mother for his son, his son trying to find the perfect woman for dad, and he's trying to match wits with Olivia. While he's doing all this he's trying to fight social reform, if only he can find a mysterious writer. I truly enjoyed this book with the on going match between John and Olivia. Basically, if you are looking for a blue-stock heroine, a hero that is a bit misguided on trying to find a new wife, and a son that wants a say, you might want to try Scandalously Yours.Copy provided by Forever Romance via NetGalley
