Nothing but Scandal is Allegra Gray's debut historical romance. I am usually not one for historical romance, though I have fallen in love with many a highlander. Allegra's voice is new and fresh and drew me into the beautiful story she wrote. Allegra Gray is definitely one to keep an eye out for!Elizabeth Medford is in a bind. Her father has died, leaving her family penniless and desperate for a good marriage. Her uncle is determined to marry her off to Harold Wetherby, an abusive nasty man who happens to have the money to support the family. Unable to stand the thought of spending any more time than is necessary with him, Elizabeth hatches plans to escape her fate.
When Alex Bainbridge crosses paths with the fiery Elizabeth, he knows that he is in trouble. A Duke known for his rakish ways, he is not interested in marriage, but would love a dalliance with the redhead. He is in for a surprise when he can't stop thinking about her, and when he has an undeniable urge to protect her from the perils of life.
Elizabeth is constantly getting into trouble that Alex has to rescue her from. He is so dashing and dangerous, you can't help but fall for him just a little. Elizabeth is no wilting flower to be rescued, but she does have her moments that remind you how women really were in this time period.
I am looking forward to Allegra Gray's newest novel, Nothing But Deception. It is the story of another of the women in this story- I can't wait to see what scrapes she gets into!
