I have literally just finished Liberty for Paul so it is still very fresh in my mind...Which is a good thing because you'll know that this review is from someone who is still living in the story.
First, I would like to say that I did read the first book in The Scandalous Sisters Series by the name of Intentions of the Earl. It was a wonderful story and if you want to read my review on it, you'll find it in the older posts. That said, I was greatly excited to read this book especially since Liberty and Paul were introduced in the first book and they were very interesting characters. So, I had great optimism while beginning their story.
I suppose I'll review the setting first. England is always an interesting place especially at a time when balls were thrown and marriages were negotiated in very interesting ways. Thankfully, Mrs. Gordon does give us a very detailed view into English society. Also, she doesn't just show us the pretty parts of society but also the ugly parts of society too. So, her setting was beautifully written and diverse.
The characters are vibrant and interesting. I was so glad to see that Liberty evolved from being plain to beautiful. I loved that Paul even before he loved her could see that beauty. The rest of the characters are vibrant and they have personalities that you can find yourself becoming engaged with. I was also happy to find that Rose Gordon showed characters who may be dressed well but had horrible personalities or vice versa. They could wear rags and be the most wonderful people. It was very refreshing.
The story itself was well plotted. I loved it. The way they misunderstood each other reminds me of the atmosphere of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. They truly do get to know each other and you get to see them fall in love. By the way, I loved the arguments they had. It made me laugh out loud quite a bit. So, there is quite a bit of humor in this book.
So, I guess I'm saying that this is one of those books that I will reread over and over again. I love it. I can't think of one thing wrong with the story, the setting or the characters. I am looking forward to reading the third book. I would like to say thank you to Rose Gordon for entertaining me. It's such a beautiful story. I recommend Liberty for Paul for anyone who loves a really good romance.
Book Rating: 5 (I would give it more if I could)
