Why read it?
1 author picked Scarlet as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A fun twist on one of my favorite historical tales, The Scarlet Pimpernel, this novel portrays the elusive hero as a brilliant, determined woman. The cast of characters is full and well-developed, including a dashing hero worthy of our heroine’s love. This story is beautifully written, has plenty of twists and turns, heart-melting romance, and a delightful happily ever after.
From Donna's list on swoony historical romance without bedrooms scenes.
