Synopsis

#1 New York Times–bestselling author: "Nobody does Victorian romance hijinks like Alexander . . . Fabulously snappy banter, and a soupçon of sex." —Publishers Weekly

Delilah, the very proper widowed Lady Hargate, and Mr. Samuel Russell, previously acquainted during one unforgettable night in New York City when caution—and clothing—were thrown to the wind, will choose to pretend they have never met before when they wind up at the same wedding months later in England.

The lady plans to avoid love and its complications at all costs. The gentleman intends to change her mind.

Guests are invited to enjoy the many diversions of Millworth Manor as Delilah's sister and Samuel's friend are joined in matrimony—delightful grounds, lavish drawing rooms, secluded corners—and for Delilah and Samuel, the chance to discover that one night may have been only the beginning . . .

Contains mature themes.

My Rating: 1.5/5 Unfortunately, I didn't like The Scandalous Adventures of the Sister of the Bride. And, honestly, it was only because of one thing: Delilah. If it hadn't been for her, I could have easily liked this book but, as it turned out, I didn't. Delilah was not nice. She was mean, snobbish, ru......more

Goodreads review by Susan on March 02, 2021

Good story of opposites attracting. Delilah is a proper, though young, Victorian widow, who during a trip to New York indulges in one night of "adventure". She intends it to be a onetime thing, with no intention or expectation of seeing Sam again before she returns to England. Samuel is an American......more

Goodreads review by Desi on December 09, 2016

Entertaining, straightforward novel. This one actually opened pretty daringly, with quite a unique ploy to grab the reader's attention. I like how innovative and full of the excitement of invention Alexander's books sometimes are. Sort of set on the cusp of modernity. It lends to a faster paced stor......more

Goodreads review by Artemiz on April 08, 2014

Over a long time I read a wonderful historical romance book that did not include some mysterious "secret" that would end the life as we know it if it would come out. It was such a relief.
