The Scandalous Lady Mina<\/i> by Lara Temple <\/b>was published by Mills and Boon<\/b> on April 23rd.\u00a0 I also have a great giveaway<\/b> for you. Details on how to enter are at the foot of this post.<\/span><\/p>\n


A Victorian enemies to lovers, forced proximity romance<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Lady Wilhelmina, once the darling of the ton, fled England
\nin shame after jilting her fianc\u00e9. Following a decade in disgrace, Mina\u2019s
\nreturning to Society\u2019s ballrooms on a luxury steamship\u2026and encounters her
\nex-fianc\u00e9\u2019s distractingly handsome cousin, Max Cavendish\u2014her once friend, now
\nenemy!<\/span><\/p>\n

Max\u2019s guard is up, yet being in close quarters with Mina
\nsparks a wave of dangerous attraction that makes him want to discover the truth
\nbehind the scandal. Wealthy engineer Max is used to being in command of his
\nworld and his emotions, but his complicated feelings for Mina are making him
\nfeel decidedly out of control\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0My Thoughts<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lady Wilhelmina, known as Mina, is an intriguing character with a past. Having fled England some years before, she finds herself on a prestigious liner, steaming towards her mother country against her better wishes. Her skills at knowing how to behave in polite society have prompted her employment to mentor a talented but naive singer who it is hoped, will take society by storm.\u00a0 When Mina meets up again with Max, Mina feels her control of her destiny to be under threat as past secrets are just below the surface.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 I enjoyed getting to know Mina who has an independent streak and the ability to survive on her own. A helpless female\u00a0 she certainly is not! When the reason for her broken engagement and abandonment of her country becomes known, you realise that she has tried to protect feelings and take some of the blame on herself. Max has also tried to bury his feelings and concentrated on keeping up appearances but in the end, you sense his sincerity and kindness.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In short: second chances\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
