A woman in search of a gamble…
Mathematics prodigy, Caroline Jellico, plans to support herself by winning big in the gaming hells of London—while dressed as a boy. She’s tired of waiting for the elusive Roe to notice her. She’ll marry him or no man.
A gambler in need of redemption…
Monroe Grisham, Duke of Chanceworth, needs to marry off his beautiful young ward and ensure she attaches herself to the right man, not an irresponsible cad like him. But all grown up now, Caroline’s presence is an utter distraction. One he can neither act on nor deny.
A game of seduction…
But when Roe and Caroline meet across the gaming table, all bets are off. Seduction is in the cards and the winner will take all…or lose everything.

My English review
En lisant le résumé du roman, j’ai tout de suite été intriguée par les idées mises en avant par l’auteure. Nous nous retrouvons ici avec un tome 3 mais j’avoue que je n’ai pas eu l’occasion de lire les autres romans précédents. Ce n’est vraiment pas un problème s ...more
DeHart creates such fun heartfelt stories and is quickly becoming one of my favorite historical authors. While A Little Bit Scandalous didn't feel quite as fleshed out and finished as the previous installments and had a couple spots that just didn't feel period appropriate I still had a great time w ...more

Caroline est une héroïne comme je les aime, qui prends son destin en main (dès le début puisqu'elle propose elle le mariage à Monroe...et comme ça marche pas, elle devient une pro ...more
What can I say about this book? It was just brilliant! A card-shark of a heroine, a guilt ridden rake of a hero, high stakes, steamy romance, and a swindler on the loose. A Little Bit Scandalous had all that and more. Loved this book!
Caroline was a wonderful heroine. She was just so easy to like. Sh ...more

A Little Bit Scandalous is the third book of the Forbidden Love series. I have read all of the series up to this point but believe this book can be read on its own and the reader will not be lost.

I didn't think this book was nearly as good as the first two in the series.
I liked Roe and Caroline - but there was so much going in this book that I had a hard time following the story and when it was over I felt boggled - I read the epilogue and thought - what the heck happened?
