Synosis:
After watching her beloved sister Sophia pine over the ton’s
Golden Boy for years, Miss Julia St. Claire has foresworn love and put herself
firmly on the shelf. Unfortunately, her social-climbing mother and debt-ridden
father have other ideas, and jump at the chance to marry Julia off to the
newly-named Earl of Clivesden…the man of Sophia’s dreams.
Since resigning his Cavalry commission, Benedict Revelstoke
has spent his time in London avoiding the marriage mart. But when he discovers
that the Earl of Clivesden has set Julia in his sights, Benedict tries to
protect his childhood best friend from the man’s advances—only to discover more
than friendship driving his desire to defend her. He surprises them both with
the force of his feelings, but when she refuses him and her father announces
her betrothal, he fears he’s lost her forever—until Julia approaches him with a
shocking scheme that will ruin her for all respectable society…
…and lead them into an exquisite world of forbidden
pleasures.
Review:
The Most Scandalous proposal is homage of Jane Austen’s
Sense and Sensibility. Sense and Sensibility with more sex. The book starts a
little slow for me. Benedict is very confusing. We never are aware that he was
yearning for Julia until after their encounter in the St. Claire’s office. The
author doesn’t reveal how Benedict is in the know about Clivesden interests of
Julia. However, I love Sophie and Highgate.
I wished there are more of their storyline. The carriage scene are steaming!!
Over all Ashlyn
Macnamara wrote very funny, sexy and must read book. If you
haven’t read it. You definitely must do so. J
