Her Scandalous Pursuit by Candace CampMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Her Scandalous Pursuit by Candace Camp is book 7 in The Mad Morelands Series but is also the Prequel. This is the story of Desmond Harrison and Thisbe Moreland. I have already read a few books in this series (which I loved!) and the characters have been mixing around each book but I did feel you can easily make this a standalone book if you wish to do so. Although Thisbe is the daughter of the Duke of Broughton her passion is being a scientist. This leads her to many lectures learning which no man really takes her seriously. So when she is attending the lecture at the Covington Institute and a man sits down beside her she is taken with him which has never happened before then when they talk he takes her seriously in conversation. Thisbe doesn't give him the information that she is from a titled family but only wants his attention on her and their love of science...not any class or title. Desmond is a shy low born man who is working with his mentor Professor Gordon, who was once a respected scientist but now the Professor is scored upon.
Thisbe and Desmond build on their love of science, friends and of course their attraction. Then the Professor request that Desmond take the Eye of Annie Blue which the Professor wants to use to prove his theories. Desmond is asked to steal it if he can not get it any other way. Of course when Desmond goes to the dowager Duchess of Broughton to ask to see it he is refused. Which leads him to look around to see how easily he could take it. But he is found by Thisbe where he learns who she really is but will he reveal what he really is doing?
I am such a fan of this author's writing....loved it!
