A Christmas Scandal

A Christmas Scandal

by Jane Goodger

So this cover is complete bullshit, FYI. This is set in the fucking Victorian era (I'd hazard the 1890s because it talks about the Wild West Show as having happened a few years before). But what I'm saying is, that shirt that woman is wearing is nothing like anyone could wear at the time, and his trousers, I'm pretty certain, are far too modern. LOOK IT BUGGED ME SO I'M GOING TO POINT IT OUT TO YOU ASSHOLES.

Find it on Amazon here. I actually found it at Half-Price books for 75 cents (which I only know because the sticker is still on my copy), so I didn't actually pay for it on Amazon or whatever. I read it on Christmas Eve because I had it, and had this blog idea in mind.

Hi there. Welcome to The Fuck is On My Shelf? This is my first ever post.

So in this book, we've got Maggie. Maggie's father recently got arrested for embezzlement and is going to jail. We've also got Edward, who is some Duke or something and he earned the title just a few years before and they met a year ago at a Christmas ball to honor their friends' (Maggie's friend Elizabeth and Edward's friend I can't even fucking remember look he's like a Count or something) marriage thing.  They fell in love but both of them think the other didn't actually like them so they're not telling, and also Maggie is ashamed 'cause, y'know, Dad's in jail and no one likes her family anymore and so now her family is totally poor or something.
