1) Mass Market Paperback Book The Book of Scandal by Pocket. This book tells the story of a couple who became estranged due to the death of their toddler son and their inability to meet the other´s needs. Yes, it´s a regency romance, but it is also a modern tale. I liked the characters, but found myself surprised by the compassion the book evoked and how terrible it is to lose a beloved child. Another Julia London winner!¤

2) Mass Market Paperback Book The Book of Scandal by Pocket. I loved this book! It was very sad to read Nathan and Evelyn´s struggles with the loss of their son and how it put such a wide gap between them. All that ´non´ communication that left them with a lot of questions that made the seperation of the 3 years understandable. The danger that faces Evelyn, brings out how much Nathan still loves her and between the attempts on her life and them trying to find a way to save their marriage makes for a very emotional story. I needed to read something light hearted after this book but it was worth it. I´m looking forward to the rest of the scandal series.¤

3) Mass Market Paperback Book The Book of Scandal by Pocket. Julia London´s BOOK OF SCANDAL tells about the marriage of the Earl and Countess of Lindsey, who for the last three years have lived apart in every way possible. Nathan, the Libertine of Lindsey has been living the bachelor´s life in the country and his estranged wife, Evelyn, has settled in London, where she serves in the court and lives the society court life.

The Book of Scandal threatens the royal family and those closest to them, and when Nathan learns that his wife might very well be named among the scandal, he sets off to London to fetch her home...only to find her mere moments away from giving her heart (among other things) to another man.

Nathan has no choice but to abduct her (when she doesn´t seem too inclined to follow along willingly) to their country home. Once there, the memories that Evelyn and Nathan had both been running from--the death of their son and resulting hurt they caused each other in their grief -- demand to be dealt with.

When I picked up this book, I expected a great read, par with London´s stories. I received even better than that -- a heartbreaking, compassionate story about two parents who loved each other and their son and their grief over the loss of the child, the ways two people in grief hurt each other and how it´s possible to find a way to love again. Nathan and Evelyn are flawed, they´ve both made disastrous mistakes and that makes their journey and their reunion that much sweeter.

The weaving of the couple´s history is wonderfully done, and the characters will stay with you long after you´ve reluctantly put the book down. I look forward to the next in the series. This is definitely on the keeper shelf.¤

4) Mass Market Paperback Book The Book of Scandal by Pocket. In this romance, Nathan and Evelyn start out married but have been estranged for 3 years. Nathan has been building a bad reputation as a libertine and Evelyn has been living at court. But when political scandal potentially threatens the family, Nathan brings Evelyn back to his estate very much against her will.

The reason for the estrangement is a big part of the emotion of the book. The death of their young son and the different ways they expressed their grief, resulted in the separation. Ms. London did a very good job conveying the differences in the ways Nathan and Evelyn thought about their son and handled their grief, including the different names they used for the son. Evelyn called him Robbie and Nathan called him Robert.

Along with the process of rekindling the love they once had, Nathan and Evie face danger related to the political intrigue back in London. All of this together made a very enjoyable read.

I very much enjoyed this book and recommend it.¤

5) Mass Market Paperback Book The Book of Scandal by Pocket. The Earl and Countess of Lindsey have been married for years. Unable to cope with, accept, deal with the death of their toddler son, the two drift apart and become estranged. Nathan remains at the country home, Eastchurch while Evelyn flees to London. But with scandal brewing in London and Evelyn very possibly right in the middle of it, her husband, whom she hasn´t seen in 3 years, comes to London and forces her to return home. The story that follows is a very poignant, eloquently written tale of two people struggling to come to terms with their son´s death, the betrayal each of them felt in the aftermath and how they finally, together, sort through it and come to terms with it. I enjoyed watching their relationship grow and become strong again, the little blasts into the past and also Nathan´s relationship with his butler, Benton. The quality of writing in this book rates right up there with London´s Rogues of Regent Street series and is just as unputdownable.¤

6) Mass Market Paperback Book The Book of Scandal by Pocket. Nathan Grey, the Earl of Lindsey, is infamously known as the Libertine of Lindsey for his scandalous ways with women. But when he hears gossip that his estranged wife, Evelyn, is about to be named in The Book of Scandal, he has no choice but to remove her from London to protect her and himself from charges of treason -- even if it calls for abduction! While Evelyn has no legal recourse against the man who broke her heart years ago but is still considered her lord and master, she is no longer the immature girl Nathan married. Her enforced homecoming quickly turns into a battle of wills that tears down her husband´s defenses and lays bare the passion that still burns between them. Before it is too late, Nathan must confront powerful adversaries as he convinces Evelyn that she is not only his wife, but the one woman he will love for all time.¤
