Goodreads

Her Scandalous Pursuit is actually a prequel to the Mad Moreland series by Candace Camp. At first, I enjoyed this book. The first part has a nice pace. The heroine in this book is Thisbe Moreland, a bluestocking scientist. She is also the daughter of a Duke, but that’s a secret she tries to keep when attending scientific lectures. When a handsome young man sits next to her, she is amazed to meet someone with similar interests and someone who takes her seriously. I thought this story started off quite strong. It lagged in the middle and I found myself skimming through the chapters, that is never a good sign. It did pick up the pace quite a bit in the last fourth of the book. There are several steamy love scenes and quite a bit of mystical art and intrigue. I thought this plot line needed some work. This book was not my favorite Mad Moreland. I was given a copy of this book.
