review 1: Once upon a Scandal is second in Marvelle's Scandal Series and I have to say I enjoyed it much better then the first. Remington's overly passionate and romantic nature is swoon worthy, although he is overly idealistic. Victoria is a wonderful character, and the 2 combined was exciting to read. You'll find a lump in your throat through pretty much most of the story with all it's angst, but it is worth reading on. The only thing that could have made the story a 5 star is if the end didn't feel to rushed. Chapters glossed over days and days of their interactions and you wish you could hear more of how they reconnect to feel more depth in their feelings. I'm also a huge fan of an epilogue to see a glimpse in to the future of the characters, but this lack... mores it.
review 2: ADJECTIVES! Adjectives. Adjectives. That is what this book needs. Desperately. Let's take a look at Eileen Dreyer from Barely a Lady. "The plain of Charleroi spread out before him like a green and gold patchwork quilt sewn together with hedgerows." Beautiful. I can visualize this plain. Unfortunately you will not get this type of description in Ms. Marvelle's book. She can spin a tale, but this book could have been awesome if there was better descriptions. This was my first read by Ms. Marvelle and probably my last. less
