Review: LADY ISABELLA’S SCANDALOUS MARRIAGE by Jennifer Ashley

50828257From the back of the book:

Only one man could match a lady like this – scandal for scandal.

Six years ago, eighteen-year-old Lady Isabella Scranton scandalized London by eloping with the notorious artist Lord Mac Mackenzie on the eve of her debut ball. After three turbulent years of marriage, she scandalized London once again – this time by leaving him.

Now Mac has resurfaced, every bit as charismatic, and with one goal to seduce Isabella back into his life and his bed, even if it means acting like a real gentleman. But when Isabella rises to the challenge of posing nude for Mac’s erotic paintings, her pent-up hunger for the decadent rake is exposed as well, and she finds herself unable to resist the smooth strokes of an artist at work.

But someones been watching them – dangerously close. This ingenious forger with designs on Mac’s paintings also sets his sights on Isabella herself. Deciding to become Isabella’s protector. Mac vows to never leave her side, whether his independent and proud lady likes it or not.

I had been waiting to read LADY ISABELLA since I finished THE MADNESS OF LORD IAN MACKENZIE. I wasn’t disappointed. It took me a while to get into the story, since I couldn’t remember exactly what had happened between Bella and Mac, but once I was acquainted with the story I was completely drawn into the story and couldn’t put the book down. Mac is such a great character. He has an artist’s mentality and jumps into things before he has thought it through. One of the major problem’s that Isabella has with Mac is something that she loves about him too. I think a lot of married/committed people feel this way. Sometimes the little things that you initially loved about the person turns into something that really bugs. The thing I liked the most about this book is that the couple is still in love. The reader isn’t expected to believe that the overcome intense dislike or hatred. Neither one has done something that can’t be undone. I was fantastically happy with the way this book turned out and can’t wait to read more about those sexy Mackenzie brothers.
