The Earl’s Inconvenient Houseguest, book 1 in Virginia Heath’s A Very Village Scandal series is a treasure! I adored this book from beginning to end! With Rafe and Sophie, its wounded by love hero and heroine, who lock wits and lips in equal measure, but are afraid of love! To the quirky but lovable secondary characters who will have you laughing out loud with their antics. This village is a quaint little place, where community is under your nose, but has your back, which is right where I’d like to be! I can’t wait to see what scandal brings next!

A fun opening for a new series
Will her fears forever scare her from trusting someone with her broken heart … It is always a pleasure to rediscover Mrs Heath’s prose, and this new series is full of great promises. This enemies to lovers story is a breath of fresh air, sets outside the ton and its ballrooms and parties, with mostly commoners and a wide casts of protagonists in addition to the main characters. Sophie has been sheltered by her aunt in her great of needs and since never left. But with their home place being threatened, it is her who finds herself unexpectedly head of the rebellion against their new landlord. Rafe never knew he had an Earl as a cousin, so when the burden of his late relative’s estates fall on him, he wants to have nothing to do with it. So sell it, he will do. He has other priorities than managing a lot of unwelcoming tenants, so he thinks. So they quickly butt heads. Until circumstances put them under the same roof, and they revisit their opinion of the other as secrets and wounds from their past are shared. How I loved Archie, Rage’s brother, he is the light of this story, the puppy’s scene is pure delight. Rafe and Sophie are two very flawed characters, they let their past alter their view of others, Rafe misjudging the villagers for a bunch of unsavory persons because he had been rejected before, never acknowledging them as individuals and Sophie (how I was upset at her!!!) hiding behind her fears to live a half-life instead of a whole with risk of loosing even when she is assured again and again of the love of a good man. I felt like with how the last chapter ended, it lacked an epilogue. 4.25 stars 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 onscreen lovemaking scenes
