ETA: This contest is now closed. Kelly won the book!
Do I need to remind y’all how much I love The Suffragette Scandal? Well, if I do, here is my Goodreads review in its entirety: “Probably my favorite book in the series. A con artist/forger with no self-esteem and a suffragette reporter, what is not to love? Also I cried. A lot.”
The back cover copy:
An idealistic suffragette…
Miss Frederica “Free” Marshall has put her heart and soul into her newspaper, known for its outspoken support of women’s rights. Naturally, her enemies are intent on destroying her business and silencing her for good. Free refuses to be at the end of her rope…but she needs more rope, and she needs it now.
…a jaded scoundrel…
Edward Clark’s aristocratic family abandoned him to die in a war-torn land, so he survived the only way he could: by becoming a rogue and a first-class forger. When the same family that left him for dead vows to ruin Miss Marshall, he offers his help. So what if he has to lie to her? She’s only a pawn to use in his revenge.
…and a scandal seven years in the making.
But the irrepressible Miss Marshall soon enchants Edward. By the time he realizes that his cynical heart is hers, it’s too late. The only way to thwart her enemies is to reveal his scandalous past…and once the woman he loves realizes how much he’s lied to her, he’ll lose her forever.
I am not exaggerating. I cried A LOT. Of course, Courtney’s books always make me cry—
(THE SCENE: a restaurant where I am meeting Susanna Fraser for lunch. I am weeping openly as I scroll on my phone.
ENTER SUSANNA.
SUSANNA: Are you crying?
ME: It’s just allergies!
SUSANNA: So…you’re allergic to Courtney Milan?
YES. YES, I AM ALLERGIC TO COURTNEY MILAN)
—but this one made me cry even MORE. And also laugh, and make joyous squeaking noises, and flap my hands around, and, and, and.
Not only is this a lovely signed trade paperback, but I also scored you a limited edition thimble bookmark and a Huzzah! Suffragettes! button (here pictured with spokesmodel T-Rex, click on the picture to see it larger).
I only wish I could also send you the cake pop Courtney gave me when I bought it, but alas, I ate it. I can assure you it was delicious though, and a beautiful sparkly blue, and, IIRC, red velvet on the inside.

It IS awesome, for realz. Good luck!
Sounds interesting
Sounds like a great book!
LOVE Courtney Milan! Also a subject close to my heart: Feminism. Not sure I want to cry though,:(
I kind of love a good book-related ugly cry. Only if I know there’s going to be a happy ending, though…
I really lie the cover of the book and the title is interesting. Sounds like a really good read
I haven’t read a book lately that made me cry. Maybe I should read this one. The cover is beautiful.
She is wonderful at covers, isn’t she? I HIGHLY recommend. I also cried over Sonali Dev’s A Bollywood Affair recently, have you read that one?
I love all of Courtney Milan’s books. This book was interesting and funny and terrific. I read it on my Kindle, but I would love to win the trade paperback (signed, too!). Thanks for sharing your treasures. 🙂
Wasn’t it fantastic? I haven’t read the novella about Stephen yet, I think I’m saving it for when I need something I KNOW is going to be good. You are welcome! Good luck in the drawing. 🙂
Haven’t read any of Courtney Milan’s books yet. Thanks for the chance to win one.
It sounds like a wonderful read, love emotion filled romances.
Me too! Have you read A Bollywood Affair by Sonali Dev? I just read it last month and it was SO INTENSE.
the basket looks so neat
Yes, please!
My dream is to own the whole series (well, everything CM writes, really) in paperback. I’ve read them on kindle, but I do love actually having the books to hold.
Thank you for the chance. I love the cover!
Oh my gosh, I loved this book. Thanks for the giveaway!
This is my absolute favorite Courtney Milan book! I don’t think I’ve ever highlighted a book so much as this one. I think I told everyone I met for a solid month about this book and how much they needed to read it.
I love her books – would be so great to have one in pb.
Sounds intriguing! I love a strong heroine and as a journalist, a newspaper? sigh and be still my heart.
I cry easily, especially at books and love it when they evoke emotions!
I LOVE Courtney’s books and this one was so good! I’d love to win 🙂
UPPITY WOMEN UNITE!
Happy Holidays, Rose!
I keep seeing good reviews for this book. I’ve read her prior series and enjoyed the books.
