Scandal By Amanda Quick

Scandal by Amanda Quick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In all the Amanda Quick books I have read s far, this was a bit different, I had some issues with the characters.
But as usual Amanda Quick delivered yet another great book.

One of my biggest issues with the book was the main characters especially the heroine, the only word that comes to mind when I think of Emily is Gullible. Naivete doesn't even measure up, in the story they make it seem that she only sees the good in people, and even the main guy wants her t face reality, I thought her harshest reality was him.

I really hated the idea of her worshiping him, and to the public eye she's like a pet waiting for the crock of his finger, which is exactly what some other characters described her. It's not that she looked fearless to me, it's that she have an image f another guy in her head. At first they communicated about literature for several months, then he marries a gave her a reality check, several times, that he's cold-hearted and he didn't even love or like her, that shes a means to an end. Yet she still clung to the idea that they are linked in spiritual ways that not everyone can reach. Honestly it got on my nerves most of the time, I just wanted to strangle her), oh yeah plus her total adoration and devotion to him, t the degree that she would have shot someone for him.

The only thing I have to say about Simon is that he was one asshole of a jerk, granted he succumbed to her whims at times, but those times aren't worth all the criticism and the hurtful things her said to her. and I hated that he only told her he loved her at the very very very end.

I loved the idea that most of the staff were former pirates and the sort and how all of them in their own way worshiped and adored Emily.

Loved how her twin brothers started to look up at him in the manner of hero-worshiping

Overall, other than what I have stated about the main characters it a *thumps up*
