Date: 11 4, 2013
The Scandal Before Christmas by Elizabeth EssexIt all starts with a tyrant of a father telling his son (Ian) he has to marry to produce an heir because his brother has been injured, the son then lies and says he is already married and then it is a race against time to find a bride. In a chance meeting in a pub Ian meets an old ship mate and tells him his tale and what type of wife he is looking for, and just by chance his ship mates daughter fits the bill.  The story then goes on to their meeting and how you can not read a book by its cover, as he assumes Anne is plain and he ges onto find out she is everything he wants and needs. This is a very enjoyable historical novel, well worth a read.
