PDF / EPUB File Name: The_Agency_for_Scandal_-_Laura_Wood.pdf, The_Agency_for_Scandal_-_Laura_Wood.epub The Agency for Scandal is a heartwarming, witty and romantic story set in the Regency period (not what I expected from the cover) and I totally enjoyed this fast-paced, rollercoaster ride of an adventure. The title is a tad misleading, if you ask me. Since this book was clearly set during the Victorian era, with the London Season in full swing every year, the debutantes coming out and all kinds of scandals in the high society, I was expecting something more of an agency that really was about... upper-class scandals, you know?

I can’t tell you how much I loved this book. Anything that quotes the Brontes throughout will always win my heart. Add in a perilous journey across the Yorkshire Moors to reach the remote Gothic home of a misanthropic, Byronic character, and I’m completely taken.

Laura Wood’s latest historical YA is an absolute awesome read. It’s a Spy thriller meets a romance.

Isobel’s situation is further complicated by the revelation that Max Vane, the Duke of Roxton with whom she is infatuated is in fact also hiding from society the fact that he is working for the secret service. Izzy and Max find themselves working together to foil a ruthless villain who in addition to discrediting his young wife is also endeavouring to obtain great power. The development of the relationship between Max and Izzy as they learn to trust each other has, I think, an undeniable charm.

The Agency for Scandal: think the A-Team, but set at the end of the C19th and women. Just as far fetched and just as much a joy. They will fight for those who have nobody else to fight for them. The Agency for Scandal is glorious! Clever, funny, charming, and achingly romantic, it is a delight from start to finish.
