Olivia Wingate-Carsington has known Lisle since they were children. They once went on a grand adventure together searching for buried treasure. Lisle then went off to Egypt for even more wonderful adventures without her. He and Olivia have exchanged letters all this time and she is thrilled that Lisle is back for a short time. She hasn't seen him in five years and wants to show him how much of a lady she is, although her family has a horrible reputation.

While Lisle attends a party for a Dowager Countess, he is shocked to see Olivia. His dearest friend has turned into a very beautiful and striking woman. When Olivia finds out that Lisle must go to Scotland, she wants to go with him. Lisle refuses her request, but Olivia is not used to be denying anything and will use her wiles to get what she wants even if that means going off by herself. Soon these two are searching for ghosts and another trunk of priceless buried treasure. The smoldering attraction Lisle and Olivia have for one another is also ready to explode in ways both would have never expected.

LAST NIGHT'S SCANDAL is a delightful regency romp where the heroine drives the hero batty. At times I wondered about Olivia's actions and words. One moment she would act like a harpy, the next a spoiled twit and then a woman who took control of the situation. But as annoying as I found Olivia at times, she helps balances Lisle's emotions. The adventures in Scotland were laugh out loud slapstick and it was great to see how these two went from friends to lovers.

For some fun reading, LAST NIGHT'S SCANDAL will leave you with a smile on your face.
