The bride and groom cordially request the presence of...
The bride's sister, Delilah, the very proper widowed Lady Hargate, and Samuel Russell, the groom's friend, a very eligible, slightly improper bachelor, at their upcoming wedding.
Lady Hargate and Mr. Russell, previously acquainted during one unforgettable night in New York City when caution - and clothing - were thrown to the wind, will choose to pretend they have never met before.
The lady plans to avoid love and its complications at all costs.
The gentleman intends to change her mind.
Guests are invited to enjoy the many diversions of Millworth Manor - delightful grounds, lavish drawing rooms, secluded corners - and the chance to discover that one night may have been only the beginning.

Members Reviews:
Snobbish annoying rather stupid heroine
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I haven't even finished this book and I am so mad at the heroine. What a fool! Sam really cares for her and all she cares about is social position and what is expected. Even now with an hour left she scoffing at love as if it is the most ridiculous thing she has ever heard. She keeps saying she is trying to avoid a broken heart but really the girl is a broken down snobbish harpy who won't admit she is wrong even if it means she ( horrid Deliah) will be unhappy. He tries to talk to her several times and the women tells him the same tired line over and over we aren't right for each other it wouldn't work blah blah blah.....
At this point I don't care if Sam and Deliah ever see each other again.
Which scene was your favorite?
There isn't one!
Was The Scandalous Adventures of the Sister of the Bride worth the listening time?
No
Boring! Didn't bother finishing.
What disappointed you about The Scandalous Adventures of the Sister of the Bride?
I was disappointed with the dialog. The characters talked, but didn't really say much. There was no tension between the hero and heroine.
What was most disappointing about Victoria Alexanders story?
The whole premise of the story was that the hero/heroine are meeting each other after a night of passion. From what I heard of the heroine, this was highly unlikely. I just couldn't see her getting over herself enough to do something like that.
What didnt you like about Susan Duerdens performance?
She made the hero sound like he was on downers.
You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I can't think of any.
Any additional comments?
Don't waste your time, money or credit!
Boring story full of blah blah blah nonsense.
Well I made it to about 43% and this story is so boring. I will say 90% if this book is dialogue and I love dialogue in my books the more the better, but OMG I want it to be relevant. Do we really have to have dialogue about teacups? The dialogue is all nonsense.
This is my 3rd Victoria Alexander book I have tried and all of them have been a YAWN FEST.. I have officially quit buying her books to dull story lines lacking plots and a whole lot of filler nonsense.
As for the narration I love Susan Duerden and she couldn't even help this story be any better.
