A Victorian Era Historical Romance

___


Praise for the Scandalous Family—The Victorians series


Tracy is a wonderful writer that loves a complicated story. While her stories are true to the Victorian era, she brings so much more to her books.


The characters are full of emotion and suck you right into the story. I love how Tracy pulls the reader into the story and we feel we have a front row seat to the action, and feel all the ups and downs of the characters.


One thing is for sure, this is not your usual Victorian romance. This story has a great, and at least for me, and unexpected plot.


This is a really satisfying read! There's plenty of substance to the plot and an interesting storyline with intrigue, action and suspense as well as the delicious romantic relationship developed between the two main characters.


Tracy Cooper-Posey has a succinct and yet enthralling writing style that creates such an immersive experience that I feel like I'm stepping into situations right alongside these characters that I am getting to know!

How does one get what they want, without having to marry to get it? As a woman, she wants freedom from the constraints of men, especially men of ill intent; he doesn't want to marry just to become part of high society when all they want is his money. Meeting each other during a business conversation leads to an unexpected and quite unusual proposal. It's a win-win situation, she can be free to be the woman she wants to be and he can continue business as usual without the constraints of a woman he doesn't care for while her family enjoys the fruit of his labor. As sometimes happens, things get in the way of agreed-upon plans i.e. those aforementioned men of ill intent, past problems causing current ones, and let's not leave out unexpected passion and love. The author uses all these things to write a great story of women's rights, men getting their just desserts, and even the beginnings of correcting past wrongs. Of course she not going to leave out the beautiful and exciting part of the unexpected passion and love. The continuation of the Great Families' adventures through their now-grown children is perfect for her fans who didn't want their fascinating, adventurous, amazingly passionate stories to end.

Delightfully complex and interesting. As the main character struggles to make her way as an independent woman I was transported to the Victorian era with interesting details which built a picture of a slowly changing society and how the MC learns by trial and error how to make life better for herself and others. I love the sweet and passionate moments as much as the suspenseful tension and it's satisfying conclusion. Each book is so different that I never get bored of The Great Family.
