Yours in Scandal

I really enjoyed this slow burning, political romance from Lauren Layne. I can always count on her to deliver a well-written, intriguing story. Yours in Scandal is the story of Robert Davenport in the last months of his tenure as mayor of NYC and Addie Brennan/Adeline Blake, event planner and estranged daughter of his rival in the upcoming gubernatorial election. Robert hires Addie to plan a party with the intention of getting the dirt on her dad but instead ends up falling for her, even though her wild child reputation could cost him the election. The two characters have chemistry that sizzles from their very first meeting and the slow build of their relationship makes it that much more satisfying when they finally get together. Although the story could be a bit predictable at times, it was an overall enjoyable read. I can't wait to see which of the side characters introduced in this book will eventually have their own. 4/5 stars.
