A very sweet holiday read, The Scandal Before Christmas was a wonderful historical romance novella. I really enjoyed reading this sweet book. Loved it!Anne was shy, plain, and has been painfully aware of her flaws for her entire life. That has made her very self conscious. Add to that, living with an overbearing mother and far too many siblings, and Anne never had a chance to be herself. So, she starts off the book as very timid. But, over the course of the story, she gained confidence and proved that she had her own quiet brand of strength. By the end, I really liked her. I thought she proved herself as a heroine.Ian was also wonderful. He came off as a bit callous and shallow at first. But, then we see that he was really sweet and very devoted to those he cared about, be it his brother or his maybe-fiance. I really liked him, as well.The romance was super sweet. Anne and Ian were so adorable together. The romance between them was just absolutely lovely. There was a sprinkle of spice, but this was a mostly sweet read. I thought these two were a perfect couple.The plot was well paced. I was hooked the entire way through. I really enjoyed this sweet story and the ending was just lovely.The Scandal Before Christmas was a wonderful historical romance. I absolutely loved this holiday novella. It was fantastic. Lovers of romance, this is a novella you don't want to miss.*I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
