Scoundrel In Disguise: A Historical Romance (Journeys of the Heart Book 2)
- 4.3 out of 5
- 54 ratings
- 330 pages
Overall Content Rating: Parents Strongly Cautioned PG-13
The story unfolds in a historical society setting with balls, carriages, witty banter, and reputation at stake among genteel and rakish acquaintances. Tension builds around trust, propriety, and who may have harmed someone’s standing or person. For content concerns, there is no sexual material in the sampled language tied to matched terms; those uses are ordinary gestures and descriptions. Violence centers on the aftermath of one serious incident involving injury and visible blood rather than ongoing battles or detailed brutality. Parents weighing suitability for younger teens may focus on that single distressing recovery scene and the implied danger off the page, not on pervasive gore or explicit content.

Violence Moderate
3Physical harm appears in a limited but clear way: a young woman is recovered after an attack, described as unconscious, bruised, bleeding, with blood on her face and torn clothing in grim surroundings. Other matched wording is figurative, cosmetic, or about animals and riding. Violence is not constant or graphically drawn out across the book, but the assault aftermath is concrete enough that concerned parents may want to know it is there.

About this book
For five years, Jameson Rex has harbored a startling secret. When his uncle uncovers the truth and threatens to expose him, the disinherited Rex removes to London in search of a wealthy wife. But rumors of his disgrace have already rippled through the ranks of society, marking Rex as a scoundrel, a rake, and worst of all: an ineligible bachelor. The rumors flying through town are not all about Rex, however. Charming, vivacious, and completely unaffected, Sarah Mendenhall has quickly become the most sought-after débutante in London. Despite the masses vying for her affections, Sarah is resolved to enjoy her first season in town, and vows not to accept a single proposal, no matter how handsome or wealthy the gentleman offering may be. Desperate for funds, Rex accepts a wager to woo the unconquerable Miss Mendenhall, embarking on a whirlwind courtship that puts both of their reputations on the line. But will his triumph be worth the price he must pay? Bound to secrecy, driven by duty, and forced to choose between saving her innocence and saving himself, Rex is determined that nothing will stop him from winning her heart – even if it makes him a scoundrel.
