Beyond Scandal and Desire: A Sins for All Seasons Novel by Lorraine Heath

 

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I usually end up hating the hero in these types of stories. The man is ultimately good, although he knows how to take advantage of someone else’s weakness. He takes a mouse that he is going to ruin and finds a kind and generous woman suffocating in the cage her guardians have created for her. The true character of the man is displayed when he learns the whole story. This is an excellent read and the whole dynamic is just a little unsettling as it discusses the horrors of baby farms. It makes you think about the whole class system and illegitimacy.
