Nathaniel... Icon. Celebrity. Heartthrob.

But underneath his movie-star good looks, he's battling with the demons of his past. No one knows the real Nathaniel, they only see the pinup, the illusion he pretends to be.

It had some great things going for it that really held my attention. It's not a particularly long book, although the length is, in my opinion, absolutely perfect for the story.

What I really liked about this one:

- The writing is great. Nicely descriptive, not too many words, not too few, grammar and spelling is good (I know, I know, I'm being a bit anal here, but I hate it when spelling and grammar are sloppy). There are some lines which were just hands-down hilarious.

- The London setting to start with just seems spot on. The author doesn't particularly go into details about precise locations, but London feels exactly as it does when you live there (bad traffic, ridiculous property-prices which force you to live in less-than-nice areas on a normal salary, and a completely celebrity-obsessed population)

- The hero and heroine are, well, great. I really, really liked them both. In some ways, they are an attraction-of-opposites couple, but it is very credible, and works. They felt remarkably real to me - I could see facets of friends and family in them. I liked that the heroine has her insecurities about her body (to be honest, you wouldn't catch me in a bikini either), but I LOVED that the hero (a) doesn't understand why she's insecure since (b) he just thinks she's completely hot and sexy. And kinda related to that, I've always wandered why the media and celebrity-culture seems to project images of stick-thin women as sexy, when plenty of men (yes, even those with a lot of money) find women with "padding" (taken from one of my favorite lines in this book) absolutely ravishing.

- The whole superstar-meets-nobody plot is really, really well done. Of course, this is the whole premise of the book, so it should be well-done, but even so, you can see this really happening. It's not naff like superstar-bumps-into-girl-carrying-coffee-and-falls-in-love, or nobody-saves-life-of-superstar-and-they-live-HEA. No, having the heroine work backstage in the theater, and have the kind of personality she does, works incredibly well. Also, I LOVED how the heroine is star-struck, but is also faintly repulsed by the realities of trying to get to know the person underneath all the celebrity. It is incredibly realistic to me. I also loved that the heroine has her connections to the world of the famous - after all, lots of ordinary people have famous family members.

- The bit in Rio with the kids was actually OK for me. Very often when you have the heroine as some do-gooder type helping disadvantaged kids, it's just completely icky-sweet, and a complete turn-off. This time it actually worked OK.

What I didn't like quite so much:

- While tragic, the whole thing with the person in the audience (I don't want to give anything away here) didn't really work for me, beyond the amazing first few chapters. I haven't read any of the other books in this series (and you don't need to in order to enjoy this one), but when it was finally revealed, I just felt it wasn't really up to the quality of the rest of the plot

- The whole bit where they take off overseas doesn't really do much for me. Now, it was OK, but I really loved the bits where they have to hide around in the heroine's flat in London, and it would have been intriguing to have had a bit more of that and less of the jet-setting stuff.

So, I'm really undecided whether to give this a 3 stars "liked it", or a 4 stars "I really liked it". I think I'll go with 3 stars, but I did definitely enjoy it.(less)

What would handsome megastar action film hero Nathaniel Wolfe have in common with Katie, a frumpy but talented wardrobe mistress in a theatre. Two things in fact. They are both hiding something and they are both lonely. A match made in heaven you think? Or perhaps not. Because Nathaniel is hiding Nathaniel Wolfe and what ever else Katie wants is that the person she loves is a real person, not some caricature of a 'successful sexy movie star'. Katie isn't hiding Katie but she's carrying around so...more

He has very dark past which he makes every effort to bury by constantly keeping up a persona as a bored and disinterested celebrity. Katie Field is a costume designer working on Nathaniel's latest play. When Nathaniel's past creeps up on him unexpectedly, he recruits Katie to help him escape. She's then drawn into his world and drawn to him as a person. Katie is a chatty person, and honest to a fault. Katie has some confidence issues which she hides by wearing drab cloths (the color of the adorable puppy). They are opposites in many ways, and so they are able to help each other and heal many past wounds together.

I'm a fan of the opposites attract thing, so this romance really worked for me. I thought the relationship had a nice pace to it and developed along with the characters. For such a short book, it spans a variety of settings and each reflects where the characters are emotionally--from London, to a secluded island, to Rio, to L.A. I especially enjoyed Nathaniel's back story and how Morgan chose to reveal it in pieces until the end when the reader grasps the full horrific picture. I liked Katie's personality, she's very optimistic and personable.

I didn't care for Katie's character arc. Basically the focus is on her finding confidence in herself (particularly with regard to her appearance). I get that this is a deep seated emotional issue for many women, and the author handles it with grace. However, it pales in comparison to Nathaniel's story of childhood abuse and overcoming his emotionally stunted existence. In some ways I kept wondering how Katie, of the relatively happy (if poor and frumpy) life could begin to understand Nathaniel's pain. It's a testament to Morgan's style that I did believe their happily ever after despite this sort of uneven development.

Overall, I recommend this book. It isn't to fluffy, nor is it too dark. There are a lot of touching emotional moments and a surprisingly satisfying romance. 4 stars.

What fan of a handsome and sigh-worthy actor wouldn’t give their eyetooth to actually meet and spend time with the object of their fantasies? How would they respond when they found out that not only is the hunk not perfect, but that the man of their dreams has a world of nightmares haunting him? And what would the fan’s reaction be if they were drawn into that scary world?

All that and more is explored in this page turning tale, the latest by the talented Ms. Morgan. I liked how the author set the scene up. The hero, Nathaniel, is revered and is so up high on a pedestal that fans swoon just seeing his eyes. But when the unexpected happens, he turns tail and runs. And the story is off to an exciting start because he grabs the one person in the world who could threaten his piece of mind and escapes on her little motor bike. If that whole chapter was written to snare a reader’s interest, engage their curiosity and showcase how unique Katie, the heroine, is, then clearly it is a success. It did all that to me and then some.

I wanted to pinch Katie’s cheeks, she was so cute. But don’t think cute equals weak, far from it. She’s a woman with a mission in life – to follow a dream, and she’s scrimping and saving and doggedly pursuing it with everything she has. No matter how many roadblocks are thrown in her path, she has kept her sense of self, but most importantly, her sense of humor. It’s quirky, innocent and from the heart. She’s everything Nathaniel doesn’t normally deal with in his world and it was fun to see him try to make sense of her.

Another thing I liked about Katie was her ability to know when Nathaniel was full of hot air and she made no bones about telling him. Sometimes that caused smiles, and others, pain. There was nothing fake about the heroine and sometimes that confused the hero. Certainly, she challenged him.

Nathaniel is truly a man on the run from himself. Acting is a way of hiding in plain sight but eventually things catch up with him. How he reacts indicated the measure of the man. I found that the hero matured and grew up during the course of the story. He faced some unpleasant realities and faced his fears – no small achievements.

Because Nathaniel is so tightlipped, Katie makes assumptions that in retrospect are funny and very easy to do. The reader won’t learn the truth until the heroine earns the hero’s trust and he reveals everything one painful tidbit at a time. That Katie stands by him and goes out of her own comfort zone to do so again shows how strong Katie’s character is. And that is exactly what Nathaniel needs, even though he fights it -- a lot.

The emotional angst is very clear and hard hitting when Katie stands up to Nathaniel. There’s a lot of wonderful dialogue sprinkled throughout this book that speaks to the heart. When Nathaniel asked Katie if she wanted to “feel his muscles”, I thought it absolutely adorable. The final chapters are a catharsis and a powerful example of writing to capture a reader’s feelings. I sniffled at his unique way of proposing and laughed too. Even more amusing is the hero’s comparison of Katie to her sister. That sealed it for me – Nathaniel is perfect for Katie.

A Night of Scandal is a delightful romance that has enough humor, conflict and hope to keep a reader glued to its pages. It entertains with peppy dialogue and interesting situations. It has glamour and glitz, but it’s tamed by the fresh air that is Katie. The happily ever after wrap up is satisfying and loving with most of the loose ends getting tied up. See, Ms. Morgan has cleverly laid the groundwork for future books because it was revealed that Nathaniel isn’t the only tortured hero in the family. Ms. Morgan made that perfectly clear, and she did it so effectively, I can’t wait to revisit the Wolfe family again. I had a great time reading A Night of Scandal and recommend it to other readers who want a book focused solely on the romance between two people in need of love. It delivers.

Like any good book they have solid plot, good pacing, great conflict, and are packed with emotion. But what I continue to be most impressed with is how easily and strongly I connect with and relate to her female characters.

In her most recent release, A Night Of Scandal, her main character is a gem. Katie Field, in a sense, is every woman I know. Someone who likes herself, is happy with her life, and is working hard to reach her dreams. But put her in the open, and she covers herself up. She’s been convinced that she’s not up to par on society’s idea of what is beautiful and sexy. So when she steps outside her front door, she covers her sexy lace with dull, dark colors. Deep down every women knows she is sexy and beautiful, but in the public eye perception of self is challenged. So we hide.

Sometimes a women needs someone who makes her feel good in her own skin. Not only behind closed doors, but also out in public. Sometimes she needs someone who makes her stop sucking in her stomach. Someone who makes her want to put on a bright, yellow sundress and stand out. For Katie Field … that person is Nathaniel Wolfe.

Nathaniel Wolfe is a Hollywood bad boy, who has such a twisted and horrid past that no one could image that he could help anyone improve their perception of self. However, Nathaniel knows more about the subject than almost any woman. Having spent his entire life hiding behind the characters he plays, Nathaniel is hardly Nathaniel at all. He’s a pro at running from the past, himself, and love. And just when he can no longer see himself, Katie enters with her hope, dreams, passion, and her most irritating thing of all … optimism.

Struggling to keep their head above the water, these two characters are drowning. When thrown together, it is in seeing the other’s true self that they drag each other to shore. This book takes society’s deception that not everyone is perfect, beautiful, and sexy and tells it to screw itself. And not because Katie got a man, but because Katie let someone else affirm what she already knew.

This is a wonderful, touching story, but it’s not a heavy read. It carries a great message laced with heavy sexual tension, and fantastic dialogue—OH MY GOD the dialogue is such a hoot! This book made me cry and laugh!

This book is definitely a favorite, and one I’ll be rereading!(less)

TORTURED RAKE/NIGHT OF SCANDAL is one brother’s story by the fabulous author Sarah Morgan.

Nathaniel Wolve is a famous actor/superstar from Hollywood. But beneath the glitter and the charm he is one tortured man, battling from demons from his past. He escaped into acting to escape from his real life tragedies. He keeps his wounds to himself and never talks about it.

While doing theater in London, his past confronts him and running from it, he runs smack into costume designer, Katie Field.
Katie believes in talking as a way of relieving tension. Now when these two collide and is forced by circumstance to spend a night together at Katie’s home, they are aware of the chemistry sizzling between them and try hard to fight it.

Katie doesn’t want the actor, she wants the real man and Nathaniel never brings the real man to the fore as he is so used to being the actor. Nathaniel whisks them away to a romantic, secluded island paradise to escape the media. And this is where the seduction begins.

Can Nathaniel trust Kathy enough to reveal the real man behind the mask? And will Katie accept the tortured man with the hidden past? What about the secret Katie is harboring?

While discussing this story, someone posed a question to me. Would I like to see this story as a movie? It’s an intriguing prospect. I would absolutely love to see a movie made from this story. And I would definitely like to read the other stories in this series as the Wolve Dynasty turned out to be so interesting with hidden pasts and skeletons in their closets!

Sarah Morgan is one of Harlequin’s most consistent writers and she always delivers fabulous page-turners which readers find absolutely impossible to put down. Her latest, TORTURED RAKE is fast-paced and feel-good romance that sparkles with red-hot sensuality, sizzling sex scenes, mesmerizing emotion and intense passion.

The book begins as Nathaniel, a wealthy, sexy movie star, is about to make his stage debut in London as Richard III. As the curtain lifts, he sees something or someone that so deeply disturbs him that he stops performing and announces that the show has been cancelled. He escapes to the costum...more

I read this book as part of the Smart Bitches, Trashy Books bookclub pick for August. I've liked every other book they've picked, so I decided to go for it, even though my luck with Presents has been 50/50. (I read one I liked and one I hated.) This one just didn't do it for me. In the middle of it I was liking it, but by the end I was just, eh.

Best parts:

1.)strong heroine - a costume designer with ambitions, she was starstruck but didn't want to be, and she wanted a real relationship

2.)believa...more
