The Book

Once upon a time Max Cirillo and Sloane Madison were close friends and business partners. But when their business relationship imploded, so did the friendship.

Now, four years later, Max is a rich CEO. Sloane’s a not-so-rich etiquette expert who returns to Maine to serve as her niece’s temporary guardian and help the girl search for her birth father. Sloane and her niece move into a darling garage apartment but Sloane’s joy in their accommodations soon turns to horror when she realizes their apartment belongs to Max. Thanks to an unbreakable lease, she’s stuck living right next door to him.

Max pulled strings to bring Sloane into his orbit because he needs closure on what went wrong between them. Quickly, though, his scheming comes back to bite him. The world might view him as a cold-hearted rake, but this one woman has dangerous power over his emotions.

They’ll have no choice but to confront their history—and the undeniable spark between them—while living side by side on uneasy street.

Discover witty humor, rich emotion, banter, and charm within the pages of this sweet enemies-to-lovers romance!

Book Review

Uneasy Street is the third and final book in the Sons of Scandal series. While each book in the series focusses on one brother, I do think this is one series that is definitely best read in order. There are particular threads in the story (particularly Fiona's POV) that have been carried on from the first book and I think readers will also have a better understanding of the complicated family dynamics/history if they read from the start. 

I have absolutely adored every single book in this series, and this one was no exception. I absolutely loved Max and Sloane together. The two had been friends and business partners in college then had a falling out and hadn't seen each other for four years at the start of the story. This gave us the history that I love in a friends to lovers, but also the fantastic banter that we get with enemies to lovers... so a little bit of the best of both worlds... and I loved it all. Max was such a fun character to read, with his wit and confidence. Sloane balanced him out well and I loved their slow burn. Along with the romance, the story is perfectly blended with some family drama and a few small mysteries too... add in some great faith messages (forgiveness was definitely a big theme) and there truly was so much to love in this story!
