A Season for Scandal (Harlequin Bestsellers) (Silhouette Shipping Cycle S.)

Possibly would have been better if I had left a few days between reading. This is a omnibus printing of Tangled Reins and Fair Juno. Two interlinked stories (characters from one appear in the second) and slightly similar plots. In both the heroine does something that compromises her honour and the love interest feel a need to protect her and finds himself quite attracted to her.

Tangled Reins starts with Dorothea Darent dressed in her worst, picking blackberries and being acosted by the Marquis of Hazelmere. They feel an attraction but can he overcome her adversion to marriage?

Fair Juno has the Earl of Merton rescuing (and being knocked out by) a woman he knows only as Fair Juno and finds that instead of being content with thinking of her as he has thought about other women he wants her to marry him. However convincing her is an uphill struggle.

They're pretty typical, readable, regency romances with some fun characters. Nothing spectacular but great fun.
