Review: Yours in Scandal by Lauren Layne
SYNOPSIS:
Fresh off being named Citizen magazine’s Man of the Year, New York City’s youngest mayor, Robert Davenport, decides it’s time to strategize. Next move: a bid for the governor’s seat. In his way: an incumbent with a flawless reputation. He also has an Achilles’ heel: an estranged wild-child daughter with a past so scandalous it could be Robert’s ticket to victory. And a charm so irresistible it could be Robert’s downfall.
Rebellion is a thing of the past for Adeline Blake. As New York’s premier event planner, she’s all about reform and respectability. Then she’s approached by Robert to organize the party of the season. Curious, considering he’s her father’s most formidable opponent. And alarming, too. Because Addie can’t help but fall for the righteously popular candidate with the movie-star smile.
Now it’s Robert’s choice. Does he pursue a future that holds his legacy? Or the woman who holds his heart?
Review:
I really enjoyed reading this political romance. Hot, young NYC mayor plus the governors reformed wild child? IN. Robert was a very reigned in hero, trying to keep up his political life by not having any personal life. He doesn't allow himself much of anything because he is trying to be the best mayor he can. In walks Addie Blake. Addie now goes by Adeline to separate herself from her publicly wild ways. She has created a professional persona but misses her old self.
After meeting Robert, they have a bit of a "we really shouldn't" moment (love that plotline) especially because Robert is planning to run for governor against Addie's father even though Addie isn't on her father's side. There was great chemistry between Robert and Addie. I really enjoyed them both being seemingly buttoned-up but underneath they are both fiery hot and sexy. Enjoyed!
