A Lady's Guide to Skirting Scandal by Kelly Bowen
Date Read: August 2015
Genre: Historical, Romance
More Information:A delightful romp to be read in one sitting—for fans of Sarah MacLean, Julia Quinn, and Tessa Dare.
Lady Viola Hextall is bored—of the ocean, her chaperones, and the woeful lack of available dukes on the ocean voyage from London to New York. Scrambling for any diversion short of jumping overboard, Viola strikes up a conversation with the ship's rough-hewn, blue-eyed surgeon—and discovers an immediate cure for what ails her...
To Nathaniel Shaw, Viola has the bearing of a lady and the spirit of an adventurer—an unlikely combination that he finds utterly irresistible. So he's hoping to convince Viola to leave the stifling ballrooms of London high society behind because there is a big, wide world just waiting for them to explore—together.

Read It/Rate It Thoughts: A Lady’s Guide to Skirting Scandal by Kelly Bowen just proved that Kelly can take a character I don’t like and make me root for her! BRAVO! I got to the end and couldn’t believe that I was happy that Viola met her match. I think they will have a wonderful life together!

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

This is the Bowen that I read. I loved it!
I totally didn’t like the character before this and really liked her by the end 🙂 Amazing in a novella!
This sure sounds different, and fun! Adding it to my wishlist.
I really love the series 🙂
Sounds like a good one, not read this series so might put it on my list. 🙂
It really is good!!!!
It is always nice when you find yourself rooting for a character you didn’t like before.
I love when it happens 🙂 🙂
