From AudioFile Rose, an aromatherapist whose home "smells like a tart's handbag," moves into 5 Lavender Hill to escape a relationship. When Dan Spikenard arrives from Builders' Bottom to repair the chimney, the scent of scandal wafts into the consciousness of 75-year-old Anise Weston. Narrating with the skills of a full cast, Jennifer Van Dyck moves easily among the quirky characters and their snappy dialogue. When Cassia is discovered in handcuffs, when Anise falls from a ladder while spying with binoculars, when Hugh gets the "cold spoon" treatment, Van Dyck dispenses the characters and events with the fluid timing of a stand-up comic.

4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Cute, but overpriced! By K. Carr This was a cute book, but definitely not worth paying $12.95! Matthews was clever to preface several chapters with descriptions of aromatherapy combinations to describe the characters and emotions in the book. That was a fun touch.It was a light read and the 344 pages went by very quickly. The end of course, was predictable. Matthews introduced several characters and subplots and wrote just enough information about each character and substory to get the reader interested, but she left the reader hanging by leaving out what could have been very juicy and scandalous parts of the book. For example, she could have expounded more on what what happened between Dan and Gardi after Dan spent the night at Rose's house. Matthews could have filled the reader in on the details about what Gardi was doing when she went "shopping" all day to get back at Dan.Matthews could have also elaborated on the reaction from Frank when he found out the truth about Mel, or share the details with the reader about how Mel and Frank's relationship was working itself out. I would of also liked to hear about Anise's reaction to the relationship between Angelica and Basil, and I definitely would have wanted to read more about the fiasco when Hugh's wife showed up in London.Overall, it was a cute story, but for a book with "scandal" in the title, I would have liked to read more about the results of the scandals that took place. The subplots were underdeveloped. I did giggle here and there!It's a good read, but check it out at the library or borrow the book from a friend!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Definitely does not stink! By Tracy Vest Rose Stevens has managed to fall in love with a married man. She flees London for the countryside and the small village of Great Brayford to set up her own aromatherapy business and escape her broken heart. Never mind that the townspeople aren't sure what an aroma therapist is - they are convinced that there's hanky panky going on at her cottage.Local building contractor Dan Spikenard never anticipated falling for the new lady that takes up residence in the house that "smells like a tart's handbag," but that is exactly what happens when he is summoned to repair her chimney. But the unthinkable happens -Hugh returns to the picture suddenly single and ready to settle down with Rose. What's a girl to do?Matthews has created a romantic story with twists and turns and has you rooting for the lead couple to find their way back to each other. Quirky residents, funny situations, and jealous lovers make this a quick and entertaining read!

Carole's books always present such interesting challenges faced by her protagonists when it comes to life and love, and this one is no exception.Set in a small village on the outskirts of suburban England, Carole does an excellent job in capturing what life is like in a small town, with neighbors watching your every move, speculating and spreading rumors that sometimes only have a sliver of truth to them. She even reveals how wrong people can be about what is innocent, and what isn't in a small town through hilarious antics of a housewife turned prostitute.The main character, Rose, is trying very hard to start a new life in a small town, but nobody wants to give her a break because they don't understand what she does as an aromatherapist, and mistakenly think she is a prostitute! As she settles in, she begins to fall in love with a local, who is going through his own relationship troubles. However, she is still torn by the affair that sent her fleeing from London. I couldn't stop reading as Rose tries so desperately to make the right decision, faltering for some time but eventually coming to terms with her feelings after a rather muddy encounter!A definite must for any fan of Carole Matthews, or British chic lit!
