However for a man who is accustomed to getting what he wants, the lure of the forbidden fruit is enough to drive him wild. When he finds himself under the same roof as the enchanting Olivia Danbury at a summer house party, he discovers the temptation of the lady is more than he can resist.

When her fiancé returns from the Peninsular Wars, they’ll get married, settle down in the country, start a family, and live happily ever after. The sinfully sexy Duke of Kelfield was not in her plans. But when she stumbles headlong into a compromising position with the passionate duke, her carefully constructed life quickly begins to unravel. In no time, Olivia must choose between the life she’s always planned and everything she never knew she wanted.

Re: A Scandalous Pursuit
這是Scandalous系列的第三本書,男主角Alex是前二書中都有出現相當搶眼的配角。女人們很喜歡這位英俊無比的浪子,而這些女人的男人們(丈夫或追求者)則是恨他恨得牙癢癢。總而言之,這種男主角是羅曼史中很讓人喜愛的。
Alex和Olivia早在一年前就碰過面,但深受吸引的Alex基於他那有格調的浪子榮譽,他不能想要Olivia這種甜美清純的女子;但愈不能要的,就愈想要。一年後,Juliet舉行鄉村舞會,Olivia因為朋友間的遊戲而進入了Alex房間,被人撞見爆發了醜聞,兩人就因此開始了甜蜜愛情滋長的婚姻生活。不過,愛情的認知只是Olivia單方面的,因為Alex小時候有被父母遺棄的陰影,不相信有人會愛他,所以當Olivia那位在歐陸參戰的前未婚夫回來之後,Alex氣憤的離開Olivia;明明相愛的兩人,因此受盡折磨。
我覺得這本書比起前兩本劇情更緊湊,沒有什麼停頓或沉悶的地方。Olivia是個很棒的女孩,愛上了Alex,對他的私生女照顧有加;Alex為了恢復Olivia的名譽也努力做個令人尊敬的人,所謂浪子回頭金不換。真的很喜歡這本書,推薦給想看原文書的童鞋。
