***This book was provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.***I do love a sweet historical romance, and Scandalously Yours is definitely that!The main characters were both likable. Olivia wasn't concerned with what the ton thought of her. She was much too focused on scholarly pursuits to care about society. She was (though she wasn't aware of it) quite charming.Wrexham was quite practical in all things, including his pursuit of a wife. My favorite thing about his character was how he worried about being a good parent and if he was making the right decisions for his son. And he was drawn to Olivia because of her intelligence and stance on certain parliamentary issues. Wrexham was kind and considerate, and he had no problem going with the flow, then adjusting his life when things took a different turn.I loved their first meeting. Olivia's boldness set the tone for their entire story. I love that she was able to shock Wrexham from their very first meeting. It definitely was enough to intrigue him, and he couldn't seem to get her off his mind.The banter between the hero and heroine was witty and entertaining, as was the banter between Olivia and her sisters. Wrexham's charming and amusing son was a great addition to this story, and his friend Lucy was a hoot.This wasn't your average historical romance. Wrexham and Olivia were definitely unique. I really appreciated that despite his role in society, Wrexham never once tried to 'strong arm' Olivia into anything. Instead of using power play, he chose to put everything on the table.If you're looking for a fun, romantic opposites-attract story with a bit of action tossed in, this book is definitely for you!
