Lady Scandal

Steamy Scandals #1

by Larissa Lyons

Sparks—and stockings—fly when an interview for a husband turns into a game of forfeits, and a scandalous lady and one handsome rogue learn how very right they are for each other.

Lady Scandal is a fun and super sexy Regency-styled Historical Romance written using period-appropriate slang (known as cant) and words common during the early 1800s. Zeus, Juliet (and Larissa, of course) bid you “Sparkish fine reading”.

All of London is ablaze with rumors about the identity of the female brazen—and desperate—enough to advertise for a husband.

Zeus Tanner, a self-made man full of pride if not pedigree, answers the ad, vastly curious about the property alluded to by the mysterious Lady Scandal. He may not care about winning the lady, but he certainly wants her lands.

After a miserable arranged marriage, newly widowed Juliet determines she’ll not be married off again without having her say. Shielding her identity, she braves deciding her own fate. What she never expects is the sizzling encounter that happens when she meets applicant twenty-four...

About the author

A lifelong Texan, Larissa writes steamy regencies and sexy contemporaries, blending heartfelt emotion with doses of laugh-out-loud humor. Her heroes are strong men with a weakness for the right woman.

Avoiding housework one word at a time (thanks in part to her super-helpful herd of cats >^..^<), Larissa daydreams about brownies, chocolate-covered peanuts, and 007. She’s been a clown, a tax analyst, and a pig castrator (!) but nothing satisfies quite like seeing the entertaining voices in her head come to life on the page.

[Missy · Rating 1 out of 5]

The writing was not engaging. It was too wordy so I skimmed a lot. The story has a very short prologue, 7 chapters, and an epilogue. I stopped skimming after Chapter 4. It’s obvious that these two will be together but I didn’t care about their “journey.” Based on the reviews, this story occurs in one room in one day. That’s their journey to love.

The heroine is interviewing for a second husband and the hero is applicant number 24. Once the hero passes the first stage, they begin taking off pieces of their clothing to show each other their body parts.


“I have it! I’ll trade you my petticoats for a glimpse of your masculine protrusion,” she finished on an embarrassed, brazen whisper.

[…]

“Good God, will you stop? My male part. My manly projection. My masculine protrusion? So you want to see my cock? If you want to see it, you damn well better be able to say⁠—”

“Aye!” She stared at him defiantly, determinedly, as if his crude language didn’t put her off in the least. “Your cock. Your pr-prick! Your phallus. Your sword, bayonet, yard, bodkin, dagger, dirk. Your penis,”


I don’t know how steamy hot this story gets (since it’s advertised as such) but the beginning of that scene ☝️is anything but sexy. So I DNF at 51%.

My Spewing Juicy thoughts, are here!

The Synopsis is straight on, and explains exactly what the story is about. It just leaves out a few minor details *ahem, takes deep breath* *EXHALES*

My thoughts: I've never read an historical romance before, that was situated on one scene, one room and lots and lots of flesh bearing and loose clothing. Yeesh! Ooo! Hold on a second, it's because the scene is based on an interview.The heroine of the story is looking for a rich husband who can also satisfy his wife in bed,and in return,the chosen applicant gets to have her. An amiable wife, ready to bear his children. Pfft!! Well, it was one heck of an interview. The H/H were like two horny teenagers exploring one another bodies. Gwad! They even fed each other the names of male and female genitals. For instance all in one paragraph I learned how many ways to say "penis", examples: Manly Projections,Masculine Protrusion, Cock,Prick,Phallus,Sword,Bayonet,Yard,Bodkin,Dagger,Dirk (hehe) and clearly last but not least "Penis" I don't need to be taught any of the above, I was looking forward to a hot Historical Romance as the blurb explained.

Oh! Before I forget,there's more!! How many ways can a person say "ass" in the matter of speaking? According to the heroine, there's, Posterior,Backside,Derrière,Hindquarters, all these wonderful words are known as someones "Arse" plain ole' English "Butt".

I continued reading to finally loose my patience when they started speaking of "The Hero Spewing his comings" I lost myself in thought with laughter. From the applicant Mr. Tanners words " I peaked earlier. Over there. *points to food tray* he stresses and pales further.I spewd, spent. Fired in the air. (& because the heroine is so dense, this is what she says) Fired what in the air? Hero: Discharged my chitty.Fetched my own mettle.Spewd my spunk. Jetted my juice!!"..........

I'm still not quite sure how I finished this read.Basically,in my POV, it's two strangers, talking profoundly about their genitals, wanting to touch each other bodies and are ready to set off their orgasms like a dango volcano. Which Mr. Tanner makes it known, that his earlier "comings" are on the tray to be seen as display. Bleh!

This novel was a total turnoff for me.It could have used less of the educational "names". The novel itself,was a short story and because of it, it could have used more shagging/sweaty, Oh my hotness scenes! Too bad, I read on the complete opposite. I guess I do have patience after all :P

This has got to be one of the most refreshing books I’ve ever read. It’s funny—and by that I mean side-hurtingly funny, the kind of laugh that makes you cry. I laughed so hard at one point my husband laughed at me laughing.

An absolute treasure of a book, Lady Scandal is guaranteed to brighten up the worst of days. Honestly, I sat up straighter with this line: The notice scandalized the ton. It was so blunt, so funny after following an utterly delightful notice placed in the newspaper at the start, that I smiled knowing I’d get a brilliant read. Don’t you just love it when that happens?

The best thing about reviewing is that I frequently find authors who delight me, who write with such glorious wit, such fabulous inborn talent that it makes me smile until my face hurts. Larissa Lyons has that wit, that talent, and if all her books are written in this way, I want to read every single one of them.

Lady Scandal, Juliet, has hidden behind a screen while her friend has interviewed prospective husbands. They come to win her hand in marriage, but Juliet has specific needs and, despite needing a husband with money pretty quickly, she won’t just take anyone. Her last husband, an older man who had no idea how to treat a lady, did things that made her shudder, right down to not eating properly, so to wed a man with the same traits just wouldn’t do. Also, she wants to find her husband visually appealing, not someone who makes her shrivel away from his unwanted touch. She wants to be allowed the chance to be herself—a lady in public but a woman in private. Will she ever find a man like that? Does he even exist?

After seeing who has presented themselves to her so far, she’s despairing of ever finding the perfect mate—until Zeus arrives. He has his own reasons for having to jump through hoops in order to just get a meeting with Juliet, and one of them is to reclaim his birthright. What he doesn’t bargain on, though, is his goal becoming unimportant once he sets eyes on Juliet. They have a fantastic conversation while disrobing—you have GOT to read this book to see why they disrobe—and both realise they have found the person they have been seeking their whole lives.

This book is charming—so bloody charming it charmed my socks right off! I adored it. There are some lines in there that had me laughing so very hard, had me smiling, had my eyes misting and, much to my surprise, tears prickling. It is not difficult to become attached to these two. They are alive on the page, so very THERE, that you can see them, feel them, hear Juliet’s throaty laughter—laughter she has always thought made her sound like a crone but something Zeus loves.

I won’t give anything away, but I promise you, if you like regency, you’ll love this.

Best Bits: Willing wax pot.

…like a pointy pebble in his boot.

…um, things centred above and between.

…nearly bugged to Bedfordshire and back.

“Partake of a scone, please,” the melodious voice demanded.
“And if I do not care for a scone?”

“With…bedding you?” he said raggedly.

“Would you perchance show me your male part?” (This is the line that had me roaring.)

Masculine protrusion.

Bobbing bauble.

“I’ll teach you, you know. …” (Tears stinging here!)

“Here now, we’ll do it together.”

The last line. Wonderful!

Verdict: I can’t praise this book enough. Regency fans, if you like gorgeous wit in with your devilishly superb, well written, sexy reading matter, Lady Scandal should be on your “Must Read” list. If you’ve never tried Regency because you think you may not like it, it doesn’t matter one jot—this book is the one I feel will switch you on to Regency. Please, just buy it. It’s so well worth the asking price!

This had me smiling all throughout the book. From page one till the end I was thoroughly entertained. It reminded me of a play that takes place in one spot. Which this story did for the most part. I could not help but fall in love with Juliet. She was so innocent but intelligent. She knew what she wanted and the difference between what she needed. She was able to blend both to make sure she got the best of both worlds. What she did was supremely daring and gutsy. But she no longer cared what the ton thought. She was going to live her life her way and that was that. Zeus ... now he was a character not to be forgotten. Since he was young, he had goals and kept them and ultimately accomplished them save one. That is where Juliet came in. She had what he coveted and went after it. The interview began with Zeus and Juliet's companion Olivia. Then progressed directly with Juliet. She knew he was the one. I loved the banter between them and the exchanges they made for information. I had to laugh. I really like Zeus. He was the genuine article. There was no guile in him. He was humane towards others and kind to animals. He was not cunning or deceitful. He was a self-made man and did not preen about like a peacock. He was down to earth and honest. I absolutely adored him and his middle name. LOL His mother was creative and insightful. Wishing him the best in his life whether she was with him or not. The epilogue was the icing on the cake. I really loved this book and highly recommend it. Do not pass it by. You will not be disappointed. P.S. I wonder if anything will become of Olivia and candidate twenty-five? Hmmm. Guess I will have to wait and see.

I didn't realize this was a short story. I thought it was regular book length, and the only reason I bought it was because of the price. I think I got it for $2.00 on Amazon. I guess that should have clued me in.

Anyway, the whole story takes place in one room, one scene really. It was not very realistic at all. I can understand the instant attraction between two people, but by the end of the book, they already knew they couldn't live without one another and they were in love. It sounded more like they were "in lust." And there were some really awkward parts. Like when Mr Tanner stood there for her to inspect him... all of him. That was so weird.

[Megan Berry · Rating 2 out of 5]

I did finish this book but it was a bit of a chore. It was VERY wordy, to the point that I had to really concentrate not to lose track of the conversation before the end of the sentence. It had a really good premise, but I think it just got over complicated by the author adding too many excess words. It also pretty much took place in one room within a few hours time. I feel like it would have been more interesting to break it up a bit and add something else. It also wasn't the usual regency romance, for those that are sticklers, I didn't like some of the language that was used, it didn't really fit in with the time period.

[Riley · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the most charming, captivating, delightful steamfest I have ever read, and I cannot wait to devour more stories by Larissa Lyons and her magical keyboard. Yum and wow! And there was even an adorable cat with discerning taste too. Zeus was a hottie with a great sense of humor and a wonderful heart, and Juliet was sweet, funny, and determined, and certainly deserved some hea in her life. In case it wasn't obvious already, I loved everything about this brilliant book and am sad I can't give it more than 5 stars.

[Angela · Rating 2 out of 5]

So I mistakenly listened to the praise for this book and normally I listen to the doubters. The story is not nearly as scandalous as it is made out to be but the premise was cute. A woman is interviewing for a new husband and wants one who will spark her interest. Unfortunately, the interest ends there. I can suspend quite a lot of belief, but to have a woman ask a man to show her his boy bits and keep begging him to stay so she can admire was a bit much for me. And the words, yikes. I hate it because the idea was very interesting.

A Naughty Novella

Lady Scandal is a rather naughty novella that will entertain any fan of Regency bodice-rippers. Most of its quick-paced action takes place in one room over the course of a few hours, but there are plenty of details packed into this romantic tale to satisfy Regency-lovers. Enough, in fact, to cause Lady Whistledown’s quill to catch fire!

This entertaining Regency romp begins with an advertisement placed in several society papers, but not The Times, for a wealthy bachelor in wont of a wife. This is an intriguing opening that quickly hooked this reader. The advertisement itself is brief but witty and most certainly caught Lady Whistledown’s attention!

Juliet is introduced as a lady of quality in a diminished state, both physically and financially. She has plenty of tied wealth in the form of property across four shires but no liquid assets. Her plans to reverse this situation are ambitious and demonstrate that she is a proactive protagonist.

She is soon established to be a likable protagonist through the care and attention paid toward her by her staff and her kindness and her lack of snobby attitude toward them. Juliet is clearly quite an angel…though not completely innocent. A series of tragedies, the most recent of which have left her with a broken leg, effortlessly gain the readers’ sympathy.

What’s at stake is quite clear in this fast-paced novella. Juliet is a widow in wont of a new husband to solve all her problems. Zeus is seeking revenge. The interesting question is whether or not these potentially conflicting goals can be reconciled in some way so that both protagonists gain from any possible arrangement.

Both protagonists also have interesting flaws that must be taken into consideration. Juliet brings along with a whole cart load of responsibilities and debts. Zeus not only possesses a most terrible and embarrassing name but he also lacks a noble one to pass down to any potential children. He is nouveau riche, an anathema of potential marital matches in Regency England.

The main part of this fast-paced tale takes part within one room over the course of only a few hours. Despite the limited setting and time lapse, the story is entertaining and whimsical. It is also at the scorching end of the heat spectrum with unexpectedly explicit details for a Regency romance. The vocabulary introduced to describe such actions is extensive and entertaining in itself.

The only real flaw of this entertaining and steamy tale is that it stretches the suspension of disbelief by encouraging the reader to believe in instalove. After meeting one another for the first time, within the course of a few hours the protagonists are enamored of one another to the extent that they have the whole rest of their lives planned out. However, this can and does happen in real life, and the confident third-person narrative is both immersive and convincing.

The details about Juliet’s rundown property are quite delightful and gradually introduced in a natural way as the story develops. The Regency vocabulary used throughout is always entertaining and gives the novel a whimsical feel.

This is a tongue-in-cheek story that the reader should not take too seriously. It is designed to make you laugh and keep you turning the pages rather than dealing with stuffy Regency notions of propriety. Personally, I found this naughty novella entertaining and easy to read. If you enjoy steamy bodice-rippers, you’ll love reading about Juliet and Zeus’ eventful interview. I rate it 5 out of 5.

When You Want Wicked Regency Erotica...

Well, that was something completely different! The language that the author used, full of Regency slang, is very colorful, which was fun. There is so much talk (and doing) of acts of an intimate nature that I would essentially call this Regency erotica. There is a plot, or at least a well-conceived backstory. Interestingly, except for the prologue and epilogue, the story takes place all during the heroine's interview of the hero for the advertised position of husband! I quite liked the ad itself in the prologue. Scandalous, indeed! I did feel like there was an information dump when we met each character, which I'm never a fan of. And the story felt told to me rather than shown. There's an adage in writing, particularly fiction writing, that authors should show, not tell. If authors fail to do this, a story cannot be immersive whatsoever, and it can make it difficult to get into. It creates a wall between the narrator and the reader. But if you're just in it for the erotica aspect, you might not mind. If you're intrigued by the concept of Regency erotica, you might want to check out this book.

🛡️🛡️ONE INCREDIBLE STORYLINE🛡️🛡️
Delightful! Larissa delivers with this incredibly uniquely spun debacle, serving up one killer storyline and engaging plot, pulling you deeper into this tangled web, until everything else ceases to exist, wrapping this baby up sleek, shiny and tight. Entwined, combined and tightly woven, baring the adorable quirks and defying bents, disclosing the explosive ups and agonizing downs, breathtaking in it's simplicity and rousing in it's depth, thrusting this baby to life flawlessly. The attraction and chemistry collides with such ardor, unmasking profound emotions, drawing our characters closer, binding them to one another beautifully. The characters, interactions and charged atmosphere along with relatable qualities and individual traits adding depth and diversity, transforming into genuine charismatic personalities. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and such vivid descriptions that feel as though you were transported to the middle of ground zero with them. Fantastic job Larissa, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.

When Lady Juliet Letheridge’s father wants to arrange a marriage for her after the death of her husband, the headstrong young lady decides to handle the situation herself. Her last arranged marriage had been dreadful! So this time around, she will take care of the matter on her own. She does have sense enough to hide her identity, but she shocks London by actually advertising for a husband! That just isn’t done!

Zeus Tanner, a handsome rogue, answers the ad in the hope of getting his hands on some property hinted at in the ad. A wife is not the goal, but obtaining the property could turn out to be the rightful restoration of his stolen birthright. The details of the interview will be quite fascinating to the reader as Lady Juliet “examines his credentials” up close and personal!

It is highly unlikely the reader has come across a story like this one, but keep an open mind and prepare to laugh out loud at this strange situation that unfolds before us. Keep it all in the spirit of fun and you will enjoy what you read.

I enjoyed this historical romance story with the two main characters that were Lady Juliet Letheridge and Zeus J. Tanner. And also the rest of the characters to.

Lady Juliet Letheridge was the sixth wife of Lord Letheridge. Lord Letheridhe was very old when they got married. From all of the women that he married their was no heir to past the inherent to. So Lady Juliet got all the unentailed properties which most were in debt and ran down. She was in need for money so she came up with an idea to put an ad in the paper for a husband. Because she didn't want her father finding another old man for her to marry.

Zeus J Tanner has seen an ad in the paper that is very interesting to him. A mysterious lady has advised for a husband. He is not interested in the lady at first just the lands that her husband left her. He has a secret about his birthright.

This was a short story that was fun to read. It had me laughing quite a lots within the story.

I absolutely loved this. I found it on BookSirens. The whole story takes place in just a few days, but what a few days! Juliet is a recent widow who is now land wealthy. She needs to find a worthy husband quick before her father steps in and picks another withered up old man for her. Hence a scandalous ad in the paper. Zeus is the 23rd interview and determined to take back his rightful inheritance. From there the surprises, the fun and games begin. I don’t think you’ll find another interview anywhere like this one.. be ready to be shocked at Juliet’s audacity and for sizzle to the enth degree. Will she choose number 23 or be disappointed and have to start over? Plus i can't forget there’s a number 24 still waiting. There’s a little extra story happening on the sidelines with him. I could not put it down. I’m still smiling. Oh what a determined man will go thru to get to the ultimate win.i’m gladly volunteering to give this review.

Extremely well written, full of steam, love, adventure, society, secrets, family issues and twists. Juliet is a Lady whose husband has passed so she now decides to take things into her own hands. She was married to a man twice her age by her father and he now wants to do it again. She places an ad in the newspaper and it get her known as Lady Scandal. Zeus answers the ad and is number 24 in the line up. When it's his turn he answers all the questions and makes the final. At this time he finds out that the house he wanted has burned down and the land is still there. He then lets her know that he is the bastard son of her late husband. To Juliet it makes little concern as she wants him, and they could rebuild on the land he wants. Has lots of steam between them. Great storytelling by this author. Curl up and enjoy this story. Would strongly recommend to everyone.

I received this book and leave this unbiased, honest review.

[Rose · Rating 3 out of 5]

The main characters had great flirtatious banter. They’re well equipped for each other in wit and sexual attraction, but the story took too long to get where these characters needed to be. Zeus’ original intentions in answering Juliet’s ad was written be a good conflict between their immediate attraction to each other but then it became a fleeting “issue”, which was disappointing.

The author does a great job creating chemistry and setting the scene between the characters but I wanted more story than 300 pages of banter.

Larissa Lyons does it again.

One room full of every moment you could ask for from a romance.

This is a very clever set up for our main characters.
Make an advertisment for a Husband.
Answer that ad for a wife, well for an estate and a wife.

Over a bare few hours you are taken through a whirlwind of dialogue. Its wonderfully 'alive' capturing your heart, mind and giggles too.

This one scene, one afternoon is so believeable. Amazing really and thats what makes the books in this series great. Wivy in one afternoon of wonder and now Juliet in an decrepit sitting room. One room!

This was my first experience with reading something by Ms. Lyons and I'm glad I gave it a try. It was a very enjoyable book, with characters that were fun to get to know. The start of the story was a fun one indeed where Juliet interviewed potential husbands and then asked Zeus to show her his "male parts".
Such a fun read! So many parts that had me laughing out loud- I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by this author!

Fun, sexy story.

I enjoyed the banter between all the characters, especially Julia and Zeus. The premise of interviewing candidates bringing a fortune to a marriage interview was a hoot especially with Julia behind a screen and Wivy doing the questioning. Julia's bold requests for Zeus's clothing to be removed so she could examine his attributes were good for a laugh. Of course the Zeus on the cover only made one's imagination work overtime. (That man can certainly sell a book!!)

Wicked!
This writer has a way with words, so much so that I wasn't aware of reading, I just did.
She has such a sense of humour that even in the most passionate of scenes, I couldn't help but smile or laugh. Such wit!
This story has lots of flowing banter between the main characters. It was like watching a really great tennis match most of the time. Still chuckling over her sense of humour as various scenes keep popping into my mind.
This is a beautiful love story, one that can be read and appreciated.

[Rod · Rating 1 out of 5]

A steamy novella read as part of the Seduce me in Spring Anthology. The premise of the story was interesting and different, a young lady married to an aged Earl, left with crumbling properties and debt seeking a husband by advertising. And it did start alright for me with some amusing bits but then deteriorated for me. Despite her scandalous advert would she really have carried on as she did on the first meeting? I don’t think so however desperate she was. It is hard in a novella to build a story in the short time but for me 1 star.

[Pat Robinson]

What an absurdly delightfully hilarious tale of Juliette and Zeus! This is a laugh out loud romp! I loved how Juliette takes control of her life after living under the thumb of a medieval father and wasteful husband! Zeus has his secrets, one I did not see coming.

A destitute widow advertises for a husband with money to restore her estates and attributes no lady should ask for in references. She has her reasons and only a man smart enough to accept them will win the prize. Applicant number twenty-four has the right answers and references, but has secrets that could end his interview. Together they may have the right fit. A very provocative book with a lot of heat.

Short, filthy and hilarious as expected, though also unexpectedly touching at points, and peppered with period slang in a way that made it unexpectedly educational.

Zeus and Juliet are wonderful, not to mention Juliet's friend/companion Olivia/Wivy, and her ex-boxer footman Jacks.

A frippery

Wished there was more actual narrative and some respect for the poor guy who had to stand around naked while being ordered about. I am sure there is some flip of gender roles on this but bad behavior by women is no better than bad behavior by men. Maybe Olivia's story will be a bit more well rounded.

[Jo]

This was an interesting, wildly different story and very unexpected. It's fast paced which is lovely. Only 11 characters, also great if you only have an afternoon to spare and humorous. The plot was the unexpected and moved in such a fashion that no real time actually took place. Never having read this author, it was a fun, silly adventure.
