Marriage most scandalous

I enjoyed this one! There were some plot twists, some betrayals, I wasn't feeling when Sebastian ran back and professed his love to Maggie, but that is ok, because I felt that he would have developed that love eventually.

Sebastian starts out this novel by accidentally killing his best friend in a duel. He goes to this duel expecting to die, but Giles hits his arm, and his arm falls and he ends up shooting Giles in the chest. Sebastian's father then disowns him, turns out Giles' father and Sebastian's father are also best friends. Sebastian is also told to never return to England shores, and so he leaves, and doesn't look back. Fast forward 11 years, he has made a name for himself, The Raven, and someone from his past is looking for him.

Maggie is looking to hire The Raven because of his reputation for never failing, and she needs him to find Sebastian. But she walks in only to find they are the same man. Convenient! Well, she wants to hire him for something else now, to investigate some accidents back home, and Sebastian puts up a fight, but she ends up tricking him into it. Kind of. It was all very amusing. The rest of the book is them figuring out what is happening back home, and finding out that how that duel happened in the first place.

There was a questionable scene, where Sebastian wants Maggie to say “yes” but she says “no”, however he doesn't stop. This kind of bothered me a little bit, but Lindsey did make it a point to write in Maggie's inner monologue that she did mean “yes” and she does say yes moments later, but I just want to warn anyone who has any issues with that kind of thing.
