À propos de cet audio

 “Sophie Irwin is an exciting and original voice. She's a must-buy author for me.”―Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Carrie Soto Is Back

Internationally bestselling author Sophie Irwin brings us another delightful, escapist historical romance, led by an audacious heroine who has suddenly inherited a fortune—but it has strings attached…

When shy Miss Eliza Balfour married the austere Earl of Somerset, twenty years her senior, it was the match of the season--no matter that he was not the husband Eliza wanted.

Now, ten years later, Eliza is widowed. Suddenly, she is left titled, rich, and, for the first time in her life, utterly in control of her own future. She’s always lived by society’s conventions, but now, Eliza has resolved to do as she wants. And what she wants is to head to Bath with her cousin Margaret, pursue painting, learn to drive, and flirt with Bath’s most alluring new resident, the infamous Lord Melville.

But when the ripples of Eliza’s behavior reach her late husband’s nephew—who broke Eliza’s heart, years ago--Eliza will learn that freedom does not come without consequences. The only way to ensure she can keep her fortune is to avoid all scandal—but where’s the fun in that? Fiction Fiction féminine Historique Romance Romance régence Sincère Mariage

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for A Lady's Guide to Scandal:

“Brimming with wit and scandalous hand-touching, A Lady’s Guide to Scandal by Sophie Irwin will make you yearn for the wrong earl to happen into your life at exactly the right time. An artfully slow burn!”
―Ashley Poston, New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics

“Sophie Irwin is an exciting and original voice. She's a must-buy author for me.”
―Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Carrie Soto Is Back

“Light and enchanting....It’s a fun, unexpected ride from city ballrooms through country gardens, with a diverse cast, witty repartee, and plenty of laughter to go along with the love.”
―Publishers Weekly

“This kisses-only tale is a delight, and readers will be guessing just who Eliza finds her happy ever after with until the very end.”
―Bookpage, starred review

“Through a plot that unfolds like the brisk shaking of a tablecloth after a particularly crumbly tea, with characters who plot, plan, and develop, and with some deft touches of asperity and banter, Irwin joins ranks with writers such as Evie Dunmore.”
―Library Journal

“Fans of effervescent historical fun and admirers of Bridgerton will be in heaven.”
―The Bookseller

“[A] decadent romantic comedy… Irwin's second novel is a captivating, often hilarious, exploration of a rarified world of lords, ladies, wealthy widows, and social climbers.”

Excellent narration and very fun story. Perfect for summer listening. Predictable but fabulous story arc.

Loved this book

I stayed up until sunrise listening to this book last night, and finished A Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting just yesterday. This book is witty and heartwarming, with a few sharp turns in the story I didn't see coming. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone else looking for a story with a happy ending.

Perfect Summer listening

Sophie Irwin’s A Lady’s Guide to Scandal is a Regency-era romance that ultimately delivers wit, charm, and a satisfying conclusion—though it takes a little patience to get there.

I’ll admit, I found the opening somewhat slow and a bit difficult to get into. The early chapters take their time establishing the social landscape, characters, and constraints of polite society. While this careful scene-setting builds authenticity, it may feel measured for readers eager for immediate drama or romance.

However, once the narrative finds its stride, the story becomes far more engaging. Irwin skillfully explores themes of independence, reputation, and the narrow expectations placed upon women in Regency England. The heroine’s quiet strength and gradual self-realization are particularly compelling, and the dialogue sparkles with subtle humor and social commentary.

What truly elevates the novel is its unexpected twist. Just when the story seems to be unfolding along familiar romantic lines, Irwin introduces a development that shifts the emotional stakes in a refreshing way. This surprise adds depth to the characters and keeps the reader invested through to the final pages.

And the ending—simply perfect. It offers a resolution that feels both earned and deeply satisfying, balancing romance with personal growth. Rather than relying solely on convention, the conclusion affirms the heroine’s agency and delivers a heartwarming, hopeful finish.

Overall, while A Lady’s Guide to Scandal may have a slow start, readers who stay with it will be rewarded with a clever twist and a beautifully crafted ending. It’s a thoughtful and quietly empowering addition to the Regency romance genre.

Slow start, perfect finish.

I loved the first book in this series and assumed the second would be similarly wonderful. Sadly, no. So disappointed this isn’t the start of something beautiful…
