Simply Scandalous - Tamara Lejeune

I would give this book, five stars out of five. I found this book online, I was just scanning through the first chapter and have trouble putting it down. I found the story intriguing and very humorous.  I've never felt compelled to write about a book and it's author before, but she deserves it. The book is about a bet, a scandalous race, a not-so-nice hero, misunderstanding and funny conversations. I laughed out loud on the some of the scenes being described. This book is definitely worth a try.  For some reason though, I have trouble finding information about the author and her books.  I would recommend this book to readers everywhere who likes historical/regency books who are looking for new authors. If you like Lisa Kleypas, Eloisa James and Julia Quinn books, you will also like this book.


Simply Irresistible Juliet Wayborn did not hesitate to avenge her brother’s beating in a London alley, especially once she discovered the perpetrator was the notorious Geoffrey Swale. When opportunity arose, she got even. But humiliating Swale in public is a sin for which there is no forgiveness. For Swale is the sort of gentleman (and she uses that term loosely) who doesn’t like to lose, a man who coldly vows to challenge her every move in her determination to ruin him. A man who is proving dangerously, unthinkably...seductive.

Simply Outrageous Geoffrey Swale will not stand for being bested by the outrageous Miss Wayborn, nor accused of a crime he did not commit. If Juliet were a man, Swale would deliver a well-aimed punch...or two. But since she is quite unmistakably female, he does the next best thing. He kisses her. And then he kisses her again. Suddenly, Swale wants so much more than defeat from the woman who has openly declared war on him. He no longer cares about winning...he simply wants her surrender.
