Praise for Marriage of Lies:
Incredible additions to the series. Lies, corruption, secrets, and abuse, suspense and legal challenges all are overcome with the love and fortitude of an amazing extended family.
One of the things I really enjoyed were the constant pranks they play on each other just as though the intervening years had never occurred.
The author has once again given us beautiful, but at times tortured characters, an author who writes with all her feelings, who lets her creative juices lead the way. I recommend this book and series to lovers of historical romance that includes twist, turns, humor, danger and grand, sensual love. Oh I can't wait to read the next book.
In a world where filial obligation is supposed to trump love, it's difficult to imagine the desperate longing that many couples must have suffered, in order to please the family. Cooper-Posey, however, practically makes you live through that agony yourself, as you read about it.
The ending is just perfect.
I loved the characters and by the end, I felt like I was leaving some new friends.
I could see no possible resolution, and when I thought I was onto the answer this creative author proved me wrong.
Tracy is the master of historical romances. Every time I read one of her books I am amazed, once again, at the honest feel to her stories. There is a depth to the story line and characters that I don’t usually find in historical romances.
Tracy Cooper-Posey is an amazingly talented author that can pull you into a story so completely, it feels like you are interacting with the characters.
A truly well-written book with spark and humor and another great story from Tracy's Great Family.
Wow! What a story! This third entry of the Scandalous Scions has just about everything you could think of. Strong characters, a plot with enough twists and turns to keep you engrossed all the way to the end and a very interesting ending finale make this one a winner.
From the first paragraph you will be immersed in marriages of convenience, characters that surprise, shame, love, unique family dynamics, the underbelly and back alleys of London, strictures of 'society', and more. You will see characters you already know and love. The intricacies that Ms. Cooper - Posey weaves into her characters and stories is truly amazing.
