The Scandal of Lord Randal (Chase Family Series Book 6)

I fell in love with Lily Ashcroft shortly before i read three chapters into this book. She is wise, strong, committed to family, and she is a bit funny. Lily has an older sister who causes strife in her life but she keeps family number one(sadly, in today's world, family means little when it comes to honor and love.)As you read, you will meet a man, Lord Randal Nesbitt, who has two women in love with him. (Personally, I never had this problem.) His Lordship is hiding several facts but you will have to read and find out what they are.The book may be a little slow in places but I don't see how the author could change much to speed it up; the reader needs all the background on the characters to feel the emotions of each one. Also, the descriptive is excellent and it allows the reader to fall into the story.This is the type and style of Historical Romance I hope many guys the will choose to read. I really enjoyed this episode of Chase Family and higher recommend you read.

Even though I enjoyed the characters in this book, I thought the storyline was a bit complicated with too much going on. I found myself skipping some of the drama to get back to the love story. I would definitely still recommend this writer and series to anyone who enjoys this era of historical romance but I would pre warn about complicating things when providing facts about history and adding a very detailed and (in my opinion) almost unnecessary drawn out conflict between the Hero and his father. I ended up giving the book 5 stars because I still enjoyed the chemistry, the laughter, the love story, and history. I can't forget the escapism. All those elements are the reasons why I read these novels in the first place. So, thank you again Lauren Royal! You helped me get through another rainy day.

A bit involved and slow moving at times but it all comes together in the latter part of the story . Wonderful charactersAnd love story

l have enjoyed most books in this series and I enjoyed the connection with Ford and Violet more in book 5.This is still good, but too much drama at times, and made me start not to care if they got together, but it did improve. There is above mild descriptive lovemaking. I enjoyed that character's from book 5 made an appearance in this one. But, the author does a nice job of filling in back story so you are not lost, but I did enjoy book 5 better than this one, so don't miss out on a great story.There is some suspenseful moments, but I just wanted this copy to get together, and it was one kink after another thrown their way, that the road to HEA was anything but smooth. I have already purchased Rose and hope it is more in tuned to Violet's story. Also, no cliffhanger - yea!! (ljb)

Lily was a great romantic novel. I enjoyed the back and forth of her getting her man and then making him . Just out of . Reach, first it was because of her sister . And then it was her future father in law. It made you ...... Want to keep reading to see if they were ever going to get together. I enjoyed the suspense

this story takes place in 1677 so I thought that the references to "white gold" in jewelry, and the "blue willow" pattern on dishes was incongruous with the time period. After checking that out, both items came along much later in history. 'White gold" was invented in the 19th century; and 1780 is the earliest reference I can find for the 'blue willow' pattern in England. Otherwise, the book is very well written with good character development and although it is part of a wonderful series, it is an independent story reaching its own conclusion. The steamy, romantic interludes would not suit readers looking for a 'clean' read.Dorothy

I love reading Lauren Royal. Her characters are always well developed, the plot line more complex than the run of the mill romance, and the end of the beek satisfactory. Although reading here series' entirely would be nice, each book is definitely a stand-alone and they don't leave the reader hanging. I highly recommend not only this book, but any authored by Ms Royal (and I have read several).

Lilly and Rand's story proves that sometimes fate simply wins out in the end. Rand meets Lilly when she is sixteen. Four years later he shares the honor of being Godfather with Lilly as Godmother to her sisters Violet's twins. Here begins the story that will keep you turning pages late into the night. Another winner for Lauren Royal.

Beautiful, intelligent and kind, Lady Lily is a gentle soul with a passion for rescuing animals, who then return the favour by staying faithful to her. Although she became very attracted to the very tall and very handsome Lord Randal, with his gorgeous grey eyes.They had met previously, four years earlier, when Lily was just sixteen and Rand, who is close friends with Ford, her brother-in-law, thought she was to young to start a relationship with.Now they have met again and Lily is rather taken with Rand, and he with her, but unfortunately, her elder sister Rose has declared her interest in Rand, and has made Lily promise to help her win him over. Now gentle Lily is torn between the love and loyalty she holds for her sister and the growing love between her and Rand.But Rand's past is about to catch up with him, a darkness regarding his childhood and earlier life, which now threatens to keep him and Lily apart, and so this romantic adventure begins.As usual Lauren Royal captures your interest from the beginning to the end of this book, as she takes you on a romantic journey that twists and turns.This book is beautifully written, full of emotion, humour and passion. Lauren is a master of romantic books set in the Restoration period when Charles II was on the throne. You will not be able to put it down. I absolutely loved it, as I do all her books.

This is another wonderfully written story in a great series. The plot is full of emotional twists and turns. The characters are beautifully portrayed, with the strength to overcome their obstacles. This is a great book that would suit anybody who loves steamy historical romances that has a bit of mystery.

I really like this writers stories but hate the explicit sex that becomes porn. It is unnecessary and adds nothing to the value of the tale. Love the interactions with the animals. The mystery element provides some tense situations. I enjoyed the book just felt there was something lacking but can't put my finger on it.

Really love all the Chase Family books, lovely stories. I only have Rose to read, so that will be my next purchase. Thank you Lauren for these lovely stories xxx

Brilliant book just lovely to read sand I will be reading about Rose next.My kind of book!! Just read it
