London's Late Night Scandal

by Anabelle Bryant

This book had all the fixings for a lovely historical romance: injured hero, forced proximity, mutually intelligent characters, self enforced isolation…

The story starts out with the illustrious, but damaged Chief Officer of the Society for the Intellectually Advanced, Lord Matthew Strathmore, Earl of Whittingham on a breakneck speed trip to Oxfordshire. He had finally received an invitation from the reclusive Lord Talbot. Talbot’s scientific work of late has drawn the attention of the society and Matthew is eager to find answers to his scientific questions and prove himself worthier of his position as Chief Officer. Sadly, upon arrival things don’t go as planned… he meets Lord Talbot’s beautiful and intelligent granddaughter, Lady Theodosia and ends up with more questions than answers.

Lady Theodosia has lived a quiet life in Oxfordshire with her grandfather ever since loosing her parents to a hours fire as a child. Her grandfather not only raised her, but had her follow in his scientific studies. Now as a young woman she is content to remain in her grandfathers house studying the sciences and taking care of her aging guardian. He has done so much for her, the least she can do is take care of him now that old age is taking its toll… besides where would she go? Oxfordshire is hame and her brief experience in London has shown her that she doesn’t belong there. All is going well until a winter snowstorm brings in the Earl of Whittingham who seems determined to discover her secrets and upend her peaceful existence.

This was a delightful read. I enjoyed both of the main characters and the addition of the ailing grandfather, Lord Talbot was respectfully done. A delightful read altogether.

The third and final book in the Midnight Secrets trilogy , London's Late Night Scandal by Anabelle Bryant was released September 24th, 2019.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Zebra Romance and Kensington Press through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
