Guest Review: Scandal Wears Satin – Loretta Chase

Posted November 11, 2012 by Shannon in Reviews / 0 Comments

From the Journals of Sophia Noirot: “A dress is a weapon. It must dazzle his eye, raise his temperature . . . and empty his purse.”
A blue-eyed innocent on the outside and a shark on the inside, dressmaker Sophy Noirot could sell sand to Bedouins. Selling Maison Noirot’s beautiful designs to aristocratic ladies is a little harder, especially since a recent family scandal has made an enemy of one of society’s fashion leaders. Turning scandal to the shop’s advantage requires every iota of Sophy’s skills, leaving her little patience for a big, reckless rake like the Earl of Longmore. The gorgeous lummox can’t keep more than one idea in his head at a time, and his idea is taking off all of Sophy’s clothes.
But when Longmore’s sister, Noirot’s wealthiest, favorite customer, runs away, Sophy can’t let him bumble after her on his own. In hot pursuit with the one man who tempts her beyond reason, she finds desire has never slipped on so smoothly . . .

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Sophy is strong willed and very protective of people she cares about. Help run a high fashion dress shop with her sisters. And by night works a reporter for Foxe’s Morning Spectacle finding ways to get into the tons most sought after parties.

Longmore, is mostly known for being a man about town and not very intelligent, which he hides very well only letting people see what they want to see. while enjoying the benefits of being high born.
When Longmore sister Clara ran away after being caught in an unflattering situation with a man who is after her money.
Sophy insists she goes with Longmore to bring back Clara saying that he will bumble the whole thing and totally ruin Clara’s reputation.Β 
Sophy tells Longmore they set out looking for Clara that the whole family should tell everyone that she is too sick to receive visitors. Upon realizing that is a good idea Longmore reluctantly agrees that she should go with him.
On their search romance and chemistry spark up, leaving both of them wanting the other. Longmore is all for starting a relationship with Sophy but all Sophy thinks about is that it could destroy the business she and her sisters worked so hard for.
Between all the ups and downs the truly fall in love with each other spending so much time together to rebuild Clara reputation, and also trying to keep Sophy family Business afloat.
When Sophy finally lets herself admit the feeling she has for Longmore its amazing! The romance between the two was very sweet. The chemistry and sex were thoroughly steamy.Β 
I enjoyed the whole plot and felt myself drawn to the characters and what the were going threw.
I give Scandal Wears Satin 5 cocktails!!
