The Rogue Not Taken (Scandal & Scoundrel #1) by Sarah MacLean

Lady Sophie’s Society Splash

When Sophie, the least interesting of the Talbot sisters, lands her philandering brother-in-law backside-first in a goldfish pond in front of all society, she becomes the target of very public aristocratic scorn. Her only choice is to flee London, vowing to start a new life far from the aristocracy. Unfortunately, the carriage in which she stows away isn’t saving her from ruin . . . it’s filled with it.

Rogue’s Reign of Ravishment!

Kingscote, “King,” the Marquess of Eversley, has never met a woman he couldn’t charm, resulting in a reputation far worse than the truth, a general sense that he’s more pretty face than proper gentleman, and an irate summons home to the Scottish border. When King discovers stowaway Sophie, however, the journey becomes anything but boring.

War? Or More?

He thinks she’s trying to trick him into marriage. She wouldn’t have him if he were the last man on earth. But carriages bring close quarters, dark secrets, and unbearable temptation, making opposites altogether too attractive . . .

I think I am reading everything Sarah MacLean wrote because she has me on her little finger, cheese to a mouse, carrot to a rabbit… craving for more.
Sophie Talbot is one of the dangerous sisters. She hasn’t been raised as a wealthy girl and wishes to never know such a life again. She has made a scene at a ball and now needs to flee and find herself again.
While fleeing from a ball she meets Kingscote, the Marquess of Eversley and let’s say their meeting is not a great one. They seem to despise one another from the start. But they are travelling the same way, same path so they are bound to meet again.
I can’t wait to read the rest of the stories of the sisters and love how the stories and the series blend with other books. It’s a wonderful world and I m here to stay.
