Series: Scandalous Sisters

Contents:

Liberty thinks Paul is a bore and a cad, and is determined to get revenge on him for, through no fault of his own, seeing her in a state of undress. However, her plans of revenge goes awry when she is caught by her mother, father and loud mouthed butler being chased around the room by a angry naked Paul after she has stolen all his clothers whilst he was in the bath. It wasn't the greatest start to their inevitable marriage. After disappointing her father with her antics though, Liberty is determined to be a good wife and not disappoint him again, no matter how infuriating her new husband is.

But although this book did have a few humourous moments and it was an okay read I had a few problems with both the heroine and the hero, Liberty and Paul. Liberty I found I didn't really like, she was petty and vindictive through most the book, and although her history was explained and I did sympathize with her at times, I just didn't like her. Paul was okay, but as I didn't like Liberty and she treated him terribly I couldn't see why he fell in love with her, and he seemed a little bland.

But I did like certain aspects of the book, mainly the humour and I loved her meddling family so although I didn't necessarily enjoy this book as much as I thought I would, I would consider reading the others in the series. Oct 04, Emily rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Author, Rose Gordon had me laughing hysterically with her clever and witty dialogue. I was literally laughing so hard, I thought I would pee my pants.

My husband did not share in my enthusiasm, but I thought it was a fantastic characterization for the Regency era. Of course, who wouldn't fall for Paul. He was utterly enchanting. I've totally fallen in love with John and Carolina. They are so cute, and I love all of John's scheming.

I've been looking forward to Madison's story. Book two, Liberty for Paul , has done a nice job of setting up for the series finale, per se. I'm anxious to see what author, Rose Gordon has in store. I highly recommend this series. It's a fantastic balance of regency romance and humor. Oct 11, Judy rated it it was amazing. Liberty took an instant dislike to Paul and treated him cruelly.

Paul is a Vicar and because of some issues within his church he comes to be mentored by John Grimes. Now it's about seven months later and Liberty is beginning to hate Paul and has planned a way to get him out of her life completely. After Liberty has fallen through the ice and into the Thames she is brought home, Paul is the only one there to take care of her, he was suppose to meet John Banks but at the time he was in the house alone.

He has to get her wet clothes off and gets her into a hot bath while waiting for the Doctor to arrive. When Liberty is told about this she hates him more than ever. Liberty comes up with a way to make it look as Paul as seduced her. Even though things don't work quite like she wants, her father does break off mentoring Paul.

No one but family and their odd butler has seen her last act of revenge. The book is full of ups and downs with Paul and Liberty. If they would only talk to each other! It is a case of two steps forward and three back in their relationship. I like that Rose has brought the characters back from the first book as well. We get to know Andrew's mother, Elizabeth, in this book. Liberty's sisters and parents are back as well. Benjamin Collins, the Duke of Gateway makes his appearances as well. Apr 19, Angieleigh rated it really liked it Shelves: I received a review copy from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

Liberty, oh how I nearly likened you to that dreadful Lady Olivia. For nearly three quarters of yours and Paul's story I wanted to bend you over my knee and give you a good paddle on your derriere due to your horrible attitude towards your husband! Gordon warned me long ago when I volunteered to read Her Sudden Groom that her characters are flawed and to this day I will once again say that that is exactly why I love I received a review copy from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.

Gordon warned me long ago when I volunteered to read Her Sudden Groom that her characters are flawed and to this day I will once again say that that is exactly why I love her characters so much; they are not perfect. They can be spoiled rotten, vengeful brats up to no good and causing scandal to rain down upon their family - and that is exactly why I like them. Gordon has a sense of humour unlike any other. While her books are full of interesting historical tidbits, there is plenty of material for you to giggle over late into the night while you're mentally paddling a Pastor's wife's behind in your head for hours upon hours until she finally redeems herself.

I won't lie, Liberty is my least favorite Banks sister, but her story is just as good as her sisters' are. I dare you to read just one Scandalous Sisters book and not itch to read about the next one and then the next one. Betcha can't do it!

And in case you think you can Mar 28, Jackie rated it it was amazing. This book was just as good or perhaps a bit better than Intentions of the Earl. In this book, Paul Grimes and Liberty Banks the heroine's younger sister in Intentions of the Earl are forced to marry when Liberty's hasty plan of retaliation against Paul falls apart and a nasty scandal ensues. After they marry, the two have a hard time learning to adapt to living with who they each co This book was just as good or perhaps a bit better than Intentions of the Earl.

After they marry, the two have a hard time learning to adapt to living with who they each consider to be their nemesis. As they continue to get in the other's way and intentionally try to provoke the other, love forms. Unfortunately since neither of them wants to admit such a feeling for the other to themselves, they certainly don't tell the other. Like the first book in the series, this books contains a lot of humor genuinely funny, not silly and witty dialogue. But there are also a lot of very sweet, sensual moments--which actually surprised me because of how much the two disliked each other to start with.

The love that formed between them happened in a very believable and sweet way. May 03, Crystal rated it it was amazing.

Liberty isn't my favorite from the three sisters. She is uptight and has a mean streak. She is always wanting to get back at people even though they don't know what they did wrong. Liberty reads all the proper books on how to behave. I think she just needs to be like her sisters and not worry about it. Paul is a man that has taken on a lot. He doesn't know that he is outsmarted by Liberty's dad and made to marry her because of the trick she pulled and now Paul will have to put up with Liberty and Liberty isn't my favorite from the three sisters.

He doesn't know that he is outsmarted by Liberty's dad and made to marry her because of the trick she pulled and now Paul will have to put up with Liberty and her ideas that no one gets. Get thing Paul has patience and you get to see how Liberty starts to change. The best part that I loved about this book was Paul waiting for Liberty to go to sleep so he could burn some of her books every night. By the end of the story you realize that Liberty isn't as bad as you thought she was. May 02, SheLove2Read rated it really liked it Shelves: I can't wait to read Madison's story.

Dec 14, Arieana rated it liked it Shelves: Aug 29, Goblin rated it did not like it. Wow Liberty drove me crazy! I'm not sure I feel poor Paul should have to deal with her for the rest of his life. Feb 22, Gail Adam rated it liked it. I loved all 3 books in this series.

However I was a bit disappointed in "Liberty for Paul" I really do not think Paul would have dressed up in a masquerade costume and compromised his wife. He was to much of a gentleman, and his background would not have let him. Liberty was a spoiled brat, I did not like her very much. Liberty Banks is not pretty. Nor is she funny. Nor with she the slightest bit interesting. In fact, it would be safe to say that she is simply Because of this huge discrepancy on her list of personal qualities, she has made it her goal to be unerringly proper.

All of the time, without fail. She reads etiquette books and pays attention to every stricture of society's never ending list ways to behave. With nothing else to recommend her, she firmly believes that this is the only Liberty Banks is not pretty. With nothing else to recommend her, she firmly believes that this is the only way she will ever land a husband. Unfortunately, she forgot the most common way society has to ensure marriage in the upper ranks: As a minister, Mr. Paul Grimes has never done anything scandalous in his life. Unfortunately, no one seems to believe him.

His own congregation seems stubbornly bent on believing every bit of gossip that comes to their ears, and no amount of admonishment on his part seems to help. Unfortunately, having someone like Liberty Banks in his life isn't helping his reputation. Her stringent belief in propriety hasn't seemed to curb her desire to seek vengeance for every slight real or imagined she has ever felt. When one act of vengeance goes too far, though, they find themselves in the most unacceptable of all scandals: I don't really like Liberty.

I tried, I really did. But the things she does to Paul, and the way she acts toward others, just makes me see red.

Liberty for Paul.

She makes me think of a devious child who thinks they are always right, and will prove it to you by embarrassing you in public. That being said, Paul was actually an enjoyable character. His quiet and shy demeanor hid a cunning and creative mind which he used to bring joy. Despite my dislike for Liberty, I actually loved the way that Paul interacted with her with the sole exception being what he did with the books. In the end he was able to get through to Liberty and start a change in her personality, but it wasn't soon enough to redeem her in my eyes. Speaking of reforming images.

The Duke of Gateway makes another appearance in this book, and he is slowly working himself toward redemption. His overall character remains the same, but there is something more to him now. I have a feeling we will see his story end on a high note in the next book. The rest of the supporting characters redeem the book immeasurably. Brooke and Madison provide great entertainment and mischief, Andrew and Alex return with great back and forth banter, and John rounds it all off with some wonderful "fatherly" interference. Overall, the book was well written and ended quite well.

I just wish I had liked Liberty more so I could give the book a higher score. Feb 18, Danae Ringsby rated it it was amazing. Liberty has always been good at retaliation but sometime she will take things a bit too far. When suddenly she finds herself in the midst of a possible scandal does she realize that maybe she should have just backed off the young local vicar after trying to get him to leave her family alone once and for all! If only Paul could get Liberty to smile at him rather than scowl in his direction. Rose Gordon has a true gift and she knows just how to keep her readers wanting more page after page.

Jun 14, Kelly rated it really liked it. Liberty is a real piece of work. She's absolutely irritating in the first book, so I wondered how she was going to carry her own book. I actually enjoyed seeing her progression throughout the book from irritating little brat in the first chapter to interesting and engaging grown-up at the end. I think my favorite thing about Liberty is that she's 19 years old when you first meet her, and she actually behaves like some of the year-0lds I know. She chatters, she makes hasty judgments that are b Liberty is a real piece of work. She chatters, she makes hasty judgments that are based more on her own insecurity than any actual evidence, and she frequently offends people.

I'm so sick of reading about young characters that act like they're already in their forties Bella Swan, I'm looking at you. I reveled in Liberty's immaturity, even when it irritated me. I liked Paul, but compared to the complexity the author gave to Liberty, he fell a little flat.

The main conflict between the two characters could have been solved by one conversation, and there really wasn't enough of a reason given to explain why that conversation couldn't take place. I hate it when problems could be so easily solved but aren't. This odd little plot device wherein the characters were able to speak openly to one another but without Liberty knowing it was Paul to whom she spoke And then there was this really weird sequence at Paul's brother's house I loved the beginning and the end of this book, and I absolutely adored the illegitimate illiterates, but the middle of the book and the story segments that bring Liberty and Paul together left much to be desired.

I'm still giving it four stars, though, because I loved Liberty and the illegitimate illiterates just that much. May 21, Susan rated it really liked it Shelves: The character development is wonderful. The root, of course, is based in self-doubt and misperceptions which paralyze any genuine expression of her true self in the presence of her husband, Paul. What surprised me is how deliciously funny Liberty for Paul is from start to finish! I cannot remember the last time I laughed out loud so much while reading a book. In fact, it piqued my interest to read the series in full.

Well done, Rose Gordon! Mar 01, Mary rated it it was amazing. A cliche that I often believe is overrated but Rose Gordon made me realize that there is no such thing as overrated in love. Specially if the couples involved are as oblivious as Liberty and Paul.

Reward Yourself

And then there was this really weird sequence at Paul's brother's house She reads etiquette books and pays attention to every stricture of society's never ending list ways to behave. Liberty had a hard time believing it due to her plain appearance, but that was one of the most touching scenes I've read in a long time. I just wished she would stop sn Rating: The H was only marginally better; h's father was-.

It was such a joy to see these two vastly different people fight, argue, and battle it out for love. My interest was initially drawn to its intriguing plot but the characters are the reason for the smile that I had on my face while I was reading the novel. Liberty is so refreshing and so different from most women of her time because she is a contradiction of her own. I laughed at how much she values propriety and at the same time be a woman who has a volcanic temper.

She is her own enemy and I loved every moment where she gets herself in trouble because of her uncontrollable lust for revenge. I combusted with laughter each time she tries to get even with Paul because of petty reasons. Stupidity at its finest, haha! But most of all, I jumped for joy when they finally admitted their love for one another. Liberty for Paul is one of Rose Gordon's brilliant works, and I just can't wait to read more of her amazing novels.

Oct 18, Ltlmer2 rated it liked it Shelves: I'm not quite finished with this book, but I felt the need to stop right now and write this review. I have enjoyed other books by Rose Gordon, including the first in this series. I have to admit that Liberty is not shown in the best light in that book and I was wondering about how she would redeem herself in her own story. While I find myself liking Paul quite a bit though he is not perfect either, his intentions are good , I cannot find the same affection for Liberty's character.

She continues to be a brat and then when she finally starts to make a change for the better, there is a scene which I simply couldn't abide and another that takes 2nd place later. I cannot say much for spoilers' sake, but in this situation Paul knows the truth so can be forgiven for his behavior, but Liberty does not and acts in a fashion that I found difficult to accept. Overall, the writing is still good, but I could not fully enjoy this book due to the preponderance of Liberty's flaws that remained throughout.

I am unsure at this point whether I will finish the last book in the series as it deals with another character which has thus far been presented in an unfavorable light. I thought it was an interesting change to focus on these characters as heroes and heroines, but you have to make them likable at some point and preferably give a credible reason for their previous behavior and Ms. Gordon hasn't done that in this case. May 05, tacitus rated it it was ok.

I am torn with this one.

What is Kobo Super Points?

Rose Gordon writes remarkable love scenes, with descriptions and dialogue that are enough to make you melt. Also, the general plot itself is rather clever and unique. Now for the bad: The reactions and behavior of most of the characters are incredibly unrealistic. Tense moments are interrupted with extended episodes of comedic dialogue, wher I am torn with this one. Tense moments are interrupted with extended episodes of comedic dialogue, where characters just suddenly forget the horrible, enraging thing that has just happened so that they can smirk over some stupid thing.

It's like incredibly bad sitcom writing. There is a scene that takes place in Alex's library between all the men that I read with the most horrible scowl on my face. It was physically painful to get through as it was such Lastly, the author has a problem recognizing the intelligence of her readers. Of course we got it. We're not ten years old.
