The son of a duke and an infamous mother, Alistair Mabry, Marquess of Rexton, fought his way to respectability. Now, the most eligible bachelor in London, marriage-shy Rexton will take only a wife with an impeccable reputation, good breeding, and a penchant for staying out of the gossip sheets. But when he strikes a deal to be seen “courting” a sweet young debutante whose notorious older sister has blemished her chances for marriage, Rexton is unexpectedly drawn to the highly inappropriate, calamitous Tillie, Lady Landsdowne herself.

After a scandalous incident that sent shockwaves throughout society and disgraced her, Tillie refuses to cower in the face of the ton. Instead, she will hold her head high as she serves as chaperone for her younger sister, but Tillie is convinced Rexton’s courtship is shrouded with secrets—ones she vows to uncover. However, doing so requires getting dangerously close to the devilishly handsome and forbidden marquess…

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Addition to the St. James Series
    Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2017

    FINAL DECISION: Lyrical and emotional story of a woman who is a scandal and the man who wants to avoid scandal and yet ends up not wanting to avoid her. I loved the unexpected sweetness and romance of this story.

    THE STORY: Alistair Mabry, Marquess of Rexton and future duke, has no plans to marry soon, but when he does he will choose a bride with a perfect reputation. His own childhood showed him the consequences of being the child of a scandalous union. While he loves his parents, he has no desire to repeat their story. When he is asked to court a young sweet woman in order to help her marriage prospects, he agrees, but finds himself spending more time thinking about her older and scandalous sister, Tillie, Lady Lansdowne. Divorced after her affair with a footman became known, the American heiress lives separate from society but is determined to see her sister happily married. She doesn't think that Rexton is the man for her sister, but can't stop thinking about him herself.

    OPINION: This book follows two books that are among my all time favorites. The stories of Rexton's parents and that of his sister are so heartbreakingly beautiful. As I began this book, I was honestly a bit disappointed because I thought Rexton's attitude toward his mother's past was not worthy of the oldest son of his parents. As the book progressed, however, I fell in love with Rexton and understood his position (even if thought it misguided).

    Heath has a marvelous way of making the romance between Rexton and Tillie seem completely hopeless. There seems to be no future for these characters, but all that is needed is complete and utter surrender to love. I am always done in by Heath's way of ripping into my emotions. This romance is quieter and sweeter than I expected -- perhaps because their outward challenges are so large and overwhelming.

    I love watching these two fall in love.

    The man who thinks that he wants perfection, but discovers that all he really wants is love -- even if it is messy and imperfect -- and perhaps because it is. The woman who has been so thoroughly disappointed by love that she fears risking any part of herself again. And perhaps she has internalized her lack of worth because no one has ever put her first.

    The story slowly built until reaching a wonderful crescendo. This book wasn't as gut wrenching as my other favorites in this world, but the intense sweetness was worth the journey.

    WORTH MENTIONING: Fans of the series will be pleased to see quite a bit of Rexton's family.

    CONNECTED BOOKS: AN AFFAIR WITH A NOTORIOUS HEIRESS is the fourth book in the Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James series. The book can be read as standalone, but honestly is much better after reading both the Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James series and the connected series about the parents generation, the Scoundrels of St. James series.

    STAR RATING: I give this book 4.5 stars.

    NOTE: I received an ARC of this book via Edelweiss in order to provide a review. I was not required to write a review or to write a positive review. All opinions contained herein are my own.

    TITLE: An Affair with a Notorious Heiress
    AUTHOR: Lorraine Heath
    SERIES: Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James, Book 4
    SETTING: Victorian London, the Season
    THEMES/TROPES: reputation, scandal, “better off without me” conflict

    OVERVIEW:
    Lord Rexton wants one thing very badly: to mate his mare, Fair Vixen, with the champion Black Diamond. When the chance finally presents itself, he’s surprised to learn that the price is a fake courtship of Miss Gina Hammersley, whose first Season has been damped by her divorced sister’s reputation. Having lived through the stigma of his mother’s reputation, Rex has no plans to marry a woman with any whiff of scandal about her, but all he needs to do is show enough interest in Gina to bring other gentlemen calling—he doesn’t love deceiving the girl, but it’s for her own good, right?

    The plan goes awry when the notorious sister enters the picture. Isolated by the scandal of her divorce, and brittle and untrusting from the relationship that necessitated it, Tillie, Lady Landsdowne, isn’t about to let beautiful, confident, charming Rex sweep her sister into an ill-advised romance. Sparks of suspicion and attraction fly until it all becomes of question of whether these two are both willing to walk away from the paths they had envisioned their lives taking.

    PROS:
    The premise of the hero falsely courting the heroine’s sister was a great way to start out, placing them in a position where they couldn’t acknowledge an attraction and where Rex was required to lie to both Gina and Tillie.
    Rex and Tillie are both well-defined and consistent characters, with histories that tie into their personalities and motives. I also enjoyed the sweetness of the details between them, like thoughtful gestures and gifts.
    Minor characters, like Gina, Rex’s brother, Andrew, and a slew of leads from past books, were fun and well-integrated, but I think my favorite aspect of the cast of characters is the “villain” of the book. Tillie’s ex-husband does play a less-than-pleasant role in the story, and a few of his friends are particularly horrendous, but it’s no one person acting as the antagonist. In a story that focuses so much on scandal and reputation, I enjoyed that Society as a whole (including, to some extent, characters we actually like) is the real villain.

    CONS:
    I have two main issues with this story, and they’re fairly common in romance.
    First, there was too much immediate attraction between Tillie and Rex. I much prefer to see a couple fall in love than be presented with two people who are instantly into each other and just need to figure out the details.
    Second, the plot for a significant portion of the book was just the two characters deciding if they are willing to take the risk of being with one another (while having an affair). I don’t want to minimize the emotional significance of that, but it doesn’t create much of a plot. This book ended up turning into a “better off without me” story for a bit, with Tillie deciding that her reputation is just too much to burden Rex with for a lifetime, a self-sacrifice trope that I find a little boring.

    RATINGS:
    Writing: 3/5 Overall good, but often a lack of melodious flow in both dialogue and narration.
    Characters: 4/5 Consistent, well-rounded, and interesting. Not much development.
    Plot: 3/5 Good beginning premise, fairly standard follow-through.
    Setting: 4/5 Nice detailing of Society in Victorian London.
    Romance: 5/5 A little too love/attraction-at-first-sight, but great chemistry and sweetness.
    Sexiness: 4/5 Well-written, but not particularly memorable.
    Humor: 3/5 Not notably un-funny, but humor isn’t really part of the style.
    Average: 3.71 Good Characters, Lackluster Plot

    OTHER INFO: This is the fourth in the Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James series, Rex being a sibling and/or friend to the leads of the previous books in the series. Rex is also the son of Frannie and Sterling of Heath’s Surrender to the Devil in her Scoundrels of St. James series. All the Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James books feature sons of characters from that previous series.

    Eu demorei bastante a me aventurar no universo dos romances históricos. Dentre as centenas de livros que eu já devorei, este é o quinto romance deste gênero que caiu na minha mão.
    A história de An Affair with a Notorious Heiress me surpreendeu e encantou. A caracterização dos personagens principais, a trama central, os conflitos, tudo neste livro prendeu minha atenção e me conquistou.
    A história se passa na Inglaterra em 1882, uma época e um universo ficcional bastante diversos do nosso mundo atual. Contudo, apesar disso, os conflitos narrados na obra mostram-se bastante atuais, afinal preconceitos e intolerância podem ser encontrados em qualquer época, grupo social ou lugar.
    Tillie, a heroína, após um divórcio escândaloso, se vê excluída da vida em sociedade e teme entregar seu coração a Lorde Rexton, um nobre que tenta manter-se longe dos escândalos.
    O que eu mais gostei neste romance foi a forma como Tillie e Rex se relacionam, a verdade e a profundidade de seus sentimentos e a devoção de Rex a Tillie.
    Escorada em personagens fortes e uma trama envolvente, Notorious Heiress se apresenta como uma escolha perfeita para quem procura um romance com cenas emocionantes e conflito na medida certa.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not my favourite book in the series but still much to be enjoyed
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    This is the 4th book in Ms. Heath’s Scandalous Gentlemen of St. James series and, while I enjoyed it, I didn’t feel it had the same emotional intensity which I found so satisfying in the other books in the series.

    As heir to the Duke of Greystone, Alistair Mabry, Marquess of Rexton (Rex) enjoys a life of wealth and privilege but, at an early age, he learned that respect didn’t come automatically, it had to be earned. He loves both his parents but, at school, he had been subjected to bullying and insults because of his mother’s scandalous past, but with physical maturity came the ability to fight back and he gradually earned the respect of his fellow pupils. He is determined that his own children will never suffer the same way he did and when he finally chooses a wife, she will be someone ‘with an impeccable reputation, good breeding, and a penchant for staying out of the gossip sheets’.

    American heiress, Mathilda (Tillie) Paget, Countess of Landsdowne, caused a scandal when she was caught kissing a footman, leaving her husband no choice but to divorce her. Further scandal ensued when the divorce courts agreed, at Landsdowne’s request, to strip her of her title, but she had the audacity to appeal to a higher court and won her case. Appalled by her behaviour, society has shunned her, friends have abandoned her, and she has become the target for gossip and disdain. Only her sister, Gina, has remained loyal to her. Tillie is determined to protect Gina and ensure her sister does not make the same mistake she did.

    She wanted to help Gina find the right man to wed. She wanted nothing more than she wanted her sister’s happiness.

    After seeing, Gina settled, Tillie has every intention of returning to America and making a new life for herself.

    The sisters’ uncle, Garrett Hammersely, is aware that Tillie’s notoriety is having an adverse effect on Gina’s chances of finding a titled suitor and persuades Rex to feign and interest in Gina. Mr Hammersley hopes that, as Rex is the most sought-after bachelor in London and well respected by his peers, his attentions will pique the interest of other suitable gentlemen. If he succeeds, Rex will acquire the stud services of Hammersley’s prize Arabian stallion. It’s an agreement he simply can’t refuse. Rex and Tillie, who is acting as Gina’s chaperone, are frequently thrown into each other’s company and soon an undeniable attraction flares between them.

    Unaware of the arrangement between Rex and her uncle, Tillie feels guilty because Rex is courting her sister and she would never jeopardise Gina’s happiness. Even when she discovers the true situation, she is wary of ever trusting a man again, which I could understand given her husband’s infidelities. Tillie is just the sort of woman Rex has sworn to avoid but he is fascinated and intrigued by her.

    Rex comes to appreciate how difficult it must be for Tillie to chaperone her sister, leaving herself open to society’s censure and wants to protect her from the unkindness of others. I loved him for wanting to do things that bring Tillie joy, especially in the scene where he takes her to a secret destination and she is expecting something nefarious, only to find something magical.

    I loved Tillie’s unconditional love for her sister and her determination that Gina would have the happiness she never did. I also admired her for having the strength, courage and determination to fight in any way possible to escape her unhappy marriage, knowing full well the personal cost to herself.

    She’d sacrificed her reputation, her standing, her place in Society for a chance to be free of Landsdowne. She’d forced a life of solitude, an absence of friends, onto herself.

    Landsdowne’s mother and sister always made it clear that they didn’t consider Tillie good enough for him and treated her atrociously. So, I loved seeing Rex’s sister Grace, the Duchess of Lovingdon, spike the sister’s guns, when she tries to have Tillie and her sister removed from The Royal Tea Palace.

    “Come along,” the duchess said to Tillie and Gina.

    Lady Blanford had the audacity to step in front of them. “Mr. Wadsworth, I must insist you prevent this rabble from entering.”

    “Come now, Countess,” the duchess said, her voice tight but controlled, “do you really think he is going to adhere to your wishes when doing so will mean that my party immediately leaves to never return? And let’s not forget Lady Landsdowne’s pistol. Scars can be a symbol of courage but I’m not certain that would hold true in your case. Now step aside and do not make a further fuss or you will find yourself being the one escorted out.”

    What makes Ms. Heath’s books so special for me is her ability to write beautiful and emotionally moving love stories, but the romance between Rex and Tillie didn’t elicit the same strong emotions that I felt when reading the other books in this series. For me, there were no moments when I thought my heart might break or tears streamed down my face.

    I liked Gina who is much wiser than anyone appreciates and I’m looking forward to following her own journey to a Happy Ever After in Gentlemen Prefer Heiresses. I loved how Rex’s family and friends offered their unconditional support for Tillie and it was wonderful to see Rex’s parents, Frannie and Sterling and know that their love is as strong as ever despite the obstacles they face. Their story is told in Surrender to the Devil, the third book in the original Scoundrels of St. James series.

    I like how Ms. Heath highlights the unfairness of Victorian society where a divorced wife would be ostracised while her unfaithful husband could carry on as before without any repercussions.

    As with all the books in this series, Ms. Heath ends with a lovely Epilogue.

    MY VERDICT: This may not be my favourite book in this series but there were still many things I enjoyed about it.
