Can Gideon Lyndon win back the heart of Lady Sybil Anson after a year of silence?
Lady Sybil Anson thought she had it all. Even a match of the heart, despite so many London elite marrying for convenience. But the night before their betrothal was to become official, the love of her life vanished–with a hastily scrawled note and little more. She feared the worst as her heart ached for Gideon, and the scandal sheets simply made matters worse with their preposterous musings on the hows and whys of Viscount Galway’s disappearance. Now, more than a year later, he’s unexpectedly back, and Sybil will have her answers.Many, many years ago, Gideon Lyndon made a grave mistake. One he’s spent most of his adult life trying to rectify. And despite the progress made, the sacrifices were extensive and damaging. On the verge of repairing one misdeed, he finds himself faced with his greatest challenge yet: winning back the woman he has loved since the moment he met her. But after a year of silence, convincing his headstrong paramour to take him back will not be easy. Especially since he can’t even explain why he left–not if he wants to keep her safe.

Book Review:
The Lady Loves a Scandal by Christina McKnight is the story of Lady Sybil and Gideon Lyndon who love each other but get separated because of a deadly secret.
The cover is beautiful and naughty giving the first impression of a racy regency romance but that isn’t the case. The blurb is intriguing and add Christina McKnight’s name to this mix and readers will stop to check this book!
I enjoy Christina’s writing. She writes well crafted stories with wholesome romances, admirable world building, often times suspense or mystery that keep the readers guessing till the end and characters that become dear to us. I got to know about her a year back and after getting one taste of her writing, I have voraciously devoured her books which I can attest to with the ever increasing list of reviews I still have to write!
I thoroughly enjoyed each scene in this sweet romantic novella with its well developed characters, an engaging mystery that kept me on my toes and a wholesome, clean romance that tugged at my heartstrings and had me rooting for a happily-ever-after for the protagonists.
All in all, The Lady Loves a Scandal by Christina McKnight is a breezy, feel good historical suspense romance novella that is perfect to chill out in this blistering summer heat with a cool drink by your side. Njkinny recommends it to everyone and gives it 4.5 super shiny stars out of 5.
I received the book for review from the author and the tour organizers and I am very thankful to them. The above is my honest and unbiased opinion and in no way influenced.
