How To Survive a Scandal by Samara Parish




How to Survive a Scandal by Samara Parish
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Benedict Asterly finds Lady Amelia alone on the side of the road after an accident that's left her carriage overturned in the snow and unconscious.

Once he gets inside he builds a fire, removes her soaked dress, and leaves her close to warm back up. When they are found both are forced into a marriage of convenience otherwise she will be ruined.

These two are definitely opposites attract. She was raised to fulfill her betrothal to the Duke, who she's been engaged to for quite some time. Amelia is pretty snobby almost to the point that you just want to dislike her. But as she starts to settle into her marriage you do get to see her grow.

Because of his past, Benedict is wary of his wife. He's attracted to her and afraid she'll grow to be unhappy like his mother.

We get lots of miscommunication before they finally admit they want to be together and are in love.
This was the first book in a new series and I can't wait for the next book.

An old wooden trunk has them asking questions when it's contents tumble out. It's part of Winny's painful past she longed to forget. And when they ask her about the family tree she starts her story at what brought her to Canada. The book is told in parts each one starting in present day. Then the chapters move to the past told from Winny's point of view and switch back and forth to Jack's point of view. They are indentured servants who were told that they wer

The Good Lie by A.R. Torre

Six teens murdered. A suspect behind bars. A desperate father. In a case this shadowy, the truth is easy to hide. Six teenagers dead. Finally, the killer behind bars. But are the games just beginning? Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives—predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning—and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development… Defense attorney Robert Kavin is a still-traumatized father whose own son fell prey to the BH Killer. Convinced of Thompson’s innocence, he steps in to represent him. Now Robert wants Gwen to interview the accused, create a psych profile of the killer and his victims, and help clear his client’s name. As Gwen and Robert
