BLURB:
What’s the harm in a little white lie?
Especially when it could carry so much good: a new life for a wounded soldier, catharsis after long years of war—and an opportunity for lady composer Olivia Delancey to finally hear her music played in public.
Newspaper publisher Will Marsh refuses to compound the sins of his father’s generation by taking money to print propaganda. But with the end of the wars in France and America, he needs something new to drive Londoners to grab his paper first. Why not publish the score of the “Tune That Took Waterloo,” by a wounded vet, no less?
As Olivia struggles to keep her secrets from this unsuitably alluring publisher, and Will fights to find the truth without losing his hold on this bright-eyed angel who has descended into his life, both discover another sort of truth.
Being the talk of London can be bad—or very, very good.

My Review:
I enjoyed reading A Note of scandal. I thought the characters were very well written. I liked reading the history and the lack of women’s rights and how Olivia had to go around the system and pretend to get her music heard. I liked the passion and love of the story. It was a good story and once you get into the story you won’t want to put the book down. You will be happy to have read it.
