She knows what she wants, and she’s determined to do whatever she has to in order to achieve her dreams. She’s smart and driven to succeed, character traits that set her apart from most other high society ladies. He doesn’t always get it right, but the strides he makes felt completely authentic to me.ĭaisy is an utter delight. I loved his willingness to own his mistakes and his attempts to become a better person. He doesn’t change into a warm, caring man overnight, but he does grow quite a bit over the course of the novel. Rodale would be able to redeem him, but my fears were totally unfounded. He treated Daisy badly when they were children, and I wasn’t sure Ms. They agree to pretend to be engaged while they come up with a foolproof plan to call off the wedding without doing irreparable harm to Daisy’s reputation. Since then, the two have done their best to avoid one another, so they’re stunned and more than a little dismayed at the prospect of being forced into marriage, but neither of them is sure how to get out of it. When they were children, Theo mocked Daisy horribly, which resulted in her becoming somewhat of a social outcast. Prescott has decided that his son needs a wife to help keep him in line, and he’s decided that Daisy is the perfect candidate. It seems he was caught riding a stolen racehorse, and his father has finally had enough. As the eldest son of a steel magnate, he’s managed to flit from one exploit to another with very little thought to the consequences of his abominable behavior, but now, he’s taken things just a bit too far. But when her father loses the family fortune through some rather shady investments, Daisy’s mother informs her that she must marry, and to make matters worse, the man she is to wed is none other than Theodore Prescott, the man Daisy has sworn to hate for the past twelve years. She has dreams of one day developing a line of cosmetics for respectable women, so there’s simply no room for marriage in her plans. Instead, she looks forward to devoting her time to the study of chemistry, which has been her great passion for the past several years. Some Like it Scandalous is a delightful enemies-to-lovers romance, filled with all the sparkling wit and sizzling chemistry a romance reader could ask for.ĭaisy Swan is on the verge of being declared firmly on the shelf by New York society, but contrary to popular opinion, she’s not at all bothered by her lack of a serious suitor. I flew through Duchess by Design, the first book in Maya Rodale’s Gilded Age Girls’ Club series, a couple of months ago, and was super excited to pick up this second installment.
