About this ebook
Sometimes hiding is the best way of being found…Miss Agatha Beauregard has a theory about men. In fact she has a theory about almost everything. Rescued from the dreary confines of Hope Sands by the powerful Lord Henry Anglethorpe, and launched onto the ton as his sister’s companion, Agatha is determined to make use of her new found freedom by letting loose her scientific tendencies.
But Henry makes it clear he does not want the attention Agatha’s scandalous activities bring. As spymaster for the British government, he has been charged with tracking down the latest foreign agent to infiltrate London. However when the War Office also command him to take a bride, he finds he has only one lady in mind.
As Agatha hides from the results that her latest experiments have brought, Henry pursues her from one scandalous event to another. But before he can pounce, it becomes explosively clear that his future bride’s affections are engaged elsewhere, and she may not be all she claimed to be…
Somewhat Scandalous is a fast paced romantic mystery set against the back drop of the dazzling Regency era. It can be read standalone, or as part of the ongoing Brambridge Novels mystery series.

This story had potential. The plot was really good. The story spanned
years. But the author never explained the ages of the main characters, why
Victoria would marry suddenly, why would she take her friend back even when
she hadn't written a single letter in 3 years, the timeline keeps shifting.
The misunderstandings seem foolish. "A lady with scientific inclination" it
had so much potential. But all the lady does is conduct a few experiments
and then spend the rest of the time forgetting it. Such a waste!!

Very much liked this book. Made me laugh a lot. I liked the characters and
the storyline. Some places in the book were a little unclear, but it
smoothed out pretty quickly. Overall, I was pleased and look forward to
reading the next book.

What a greatly captivating and thoroughly entertaining clean Regency Romance!!! Superb story-telling with a rich plot that keeps you guessing at what will happen next with both the romance and the spy mystery. It also contains a taste of the Gothic in the mix up of action and adventure. I have found it wonderfully written and unique in dealing with the blue stocking heroine and her quest for scientific knowledge!!! If you love espionage, murder, adventure and romance, you really must read this book!!!
