Negative Positive
Title: Not up to par
Review: I am a die-hard Karen Robards fan, and that's why I was so disappointed with this latest effort from the author. Several of the romantic scenes in "Scandalous" were copied straight out of her earlier contemporary novels. The dialogue between key characters often seemed unnatural and forced. The heroine was refreshing in that she made up for her ordinary looks with an extrodinary strength of spirit, but the hero didn't seem worthy of her somehow, being too shallow and lacking in character overall. Ms. Robard's has a flair for writing contemporary novels with a sharp, quick dialogue in today's language. If you're looking for a fast-paced romance with a heroine and hero you can root for, I'd recommend Ms. Robards' "Hunter's Moon".
