Lady Scandal is a fun, light historical romance. It is about Lady Delia, the cousin of the MMC of book one, Bookshop Cinderella. She works for the Savoy Hotel under famed hotelier César Ritz. The Savoy is the preeminent hotel of London, but has been losing money and earning shareholders nothing. An anonymous accusation of fraud by Ritz and other well-known figures leads the Board of Directors to hire Simon Hayden to manage the hotel and conduct a secret audit to ferret out the fraudsters. Delia is a suspect. 

Thus begins a lively enemies to lovers story. I enjoyed the book, although it faltered in a few spots for me. I thought the sexual tension and pining was well done but the payoff was lower key than I hoped. Overall, I liked it more than the first book and I recommend it for a lighter read.

Thank you to Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley for the advance reader copy. All opinions are my own.
