Last Night's Scandal
Okay, here's where the ugly truth comes out. I read a lot of books. I read books like other people watch TV. For a little while, I watched TV like other people watch TV, but now that the baby is more interested in exploring than he is in breastfeeding, I don't watch TV anymore. So, back to books. As a result, I read a lot of what my friend calls, "McReads". This includes murder mysteries, romance novels, and just about anything with words printed on it.
So, this McRead wasn't bad. I'm not saying anyone should run out and buy it. But, if you're looking for a total genre romance, this one is decent.
This genre usually includes some straight-laced woman who inadvertently or through some Seinfeldian stupidity, gets herself into a compromising position with some sort of gentleman of questionable character. When I picked it up, I was sure this was going to be the case. After all, it is called, Last Night's Scandal. What else could that mean. It turns out that this is simply what the lead character calls herself. She has a penchant for causing scandals.
If you want something thought provoking, this book is not it. Other than about two words that I had to look up and make sure the usage was correct, there is nothing challenging here. However, if you want a somewhat interesting story without commercials, go on and read it. I'm not opposed to reading anything by this author again and for a romance novel, that's high praise.
Like most books, though, the ending is terrible and cliche. The leading man is very fond of Egypt, so the leading lady, of course, wishes to go to Egypt. Bah.
