Her Scandalous Pursuit

 by Candace Camp

Her Scandalous Pursuit is a prequel to the epic The Mad Morelands series (6 books). I had not read any of the series so far… thus this was a perfect place to start! 

Thisbe Moreland is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Boroughton’s seven children, all eccentric in their own ways. Thisbe has devoted herself to the pursuit of science and chemistry. She not one to shy away from a scientific challenge, and no better than the laws of attraction!

Desmond Harrison is shocked to find such a stunning creature at a the scientific lecture, not only that, she’s incredible smart and interested in him! Too bad as he soon finds out that opposites really do attract since he is a lowly mister with nothing to his name and the love of his life turns out to be the daughter of a duke!

And as these star-crossed lovebirds attempt to come together fate places another obstacle/ mystery in their path. A powerful antiquity known as the Eye of Annie Blue us needs by Desmonds employer to save his reputation… the owner of the Eye turns out to be the one and only Dowager Duchess of Boroughton, Thisbe’s very own cantankerous grandmother … turns out the Eye can either bring them together or tear them apart…

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The start of the book was heavily based on the scientific, which was a slow go for me. That lasted for about the first 25% of the book, but from there it picked up speed with the mystery and the developing relationship. So, I highly recommend staying the course. By the end chapters of the book, I couldn’t put it down!

I am eager to continue this series and see where the other captivating Mad Morelands end up! I have peeked at some of the synopsis’s and noted that the other series continue with a mystery or another supernatural element as well, very fun!

Her Scandalous Pursuit by Candace Camp is scheduled to release January 28th, 2020.
