If not, this book will still be sure to captivate your attention as Lily's story is quite engaging. Lily isn't looking for marriage, but she certainly hopes for true love. Instead, she is not pleased to find herself facing marriage to Edward Galbraith, due to a scandal. It really is disturbing to her that he is a rake with quite a reputation. At the tender age of 18, Lily is more than a bit naive. Lily must face one fact ... she is more than drawn to him. So agreeing to marry Edward might not end up being the worst thing that could happen to her. Now, if she could just get him to have feelings for her. However, Edward has had a difficult past, and does his very best to keep his heart under lock and key. As far as how Lily and Edward got together. Well, he was her savior. After rescuing Lily, all he wanted to do was to keep her safe until he could return her to her family. Meanwhile, there was a man who put Lily in danger, and that is something that Edward will never forget. Although he is more than honorable, and despite the fact that he worked hard to maintain Lily's reputation, the pair do end up together. One thing about Lily is that she has never been able to learn to read, and this is a huge part of who she is, and therefore, this becomes part of this story. Meanwhile, since this is part of a series, we see Lily's family occasionally. What's more is there is a special character who I was rather fond of, and that it Edward's grandfather. So, just as in the first book in series, family connections were part of this story. I love how Lily's learning disorder was handled, and also enjoyed how Edward was able to face his past. This was a terrific read and a delightful part of an enjoyable series. The next book, Marry in Secret, was another very good read. (  ) RobinLovesReading | Oct 25, 2019 | ) mary23nm | Feb 27, 2019 |
Marry in Scandal by Anne Gracie Historical Romance -April 3rd, 2018 4 1/2 stars Anne Gracie's newest Regency romance is like reading sunshine. A fresh novel filled with romantic innocence. Lady Lily Rutherford is sweet and, perhaps, too soft-hearted. When she tries to help someone who she believes is her friend, she finds herself being abducted by a nefarious villain instead! But Lily uses her resourcefulness to escape and finds assistance from an unexpected source, the dashing rake Edward Galbraith. Surprisingly this rake has a kind heart. He protects Lily and attempts to shelter her from scandal while trying to return her to her beloved family. Their trip has an unexpected side effect -a mutual attraction that Edward fears. He knows that Lily is too good for him. But when word of their time together is spread by malicious gossip, they must marry in haste to protect her reputation. Will a marriage built on convenience ever find love? Ann Grace's writing has rare depth. Lily is not the typical heroine. She has a disability which makes her life more difficult, but she uses her optimism and love of life to overcome her insecurities. Instead of becoming reclusive or bitter, she still sees the best in others and tries to help them. Edward, although young, has suffered greatly. His guilt and sense of responsibility have changed his behavior to the point that he does not seem to care for his life. He is intent on punishing himself and unfortunately those that love him. When he feels forced to protect Lily by marrying her, he must confront his demons. While this book explores Lily's new sense of independence it also more remarkably journeys through Edward's transformation and self-forgiveness. This romance novel may seem simple, but it has a quiet sweetness that could only be written by a master. (But that does not mean there aren't many passionate scenes as Lily is no shy miss!) This uplifting romance will bring joy to readers looking for endearing character and smoldering, yet quiet emotional read.

This was an above-average historical romance read for me. It's the second in a series, so I will definitely go back to read the first. (
