Scandalized

De: Ivy Owens

Narrado por: Charlotte Penfield

A one-night stand between two old childhood friends turns into something more, but when a scandal threatens to tear them apart, they must decide how hard to fight for love—a steamy romance written under the pseudonym Ivy Owens by Christina Lauren coauthor Lauren Billings.

Exhausted and on deadline with a story that could make or break her career, investigative journalist Georgia Ross is on the verge of a meltdown when a cancelled flight leaves her stuck in the airport overnight. But when a familiar face appears—the older brother of her childhood friend—and offers help, Gigi seems to have caught a break.

Alec Kim is handsome, humble, and kind—exactly the sort of man that Gigi has forgotten existed after her own painful heartbreaks. An evening of reconnection followed by a night of no-strings-attached passion with Alec feels like a gift—that is, until Gigi finally realizes that their childhood connection isn’t the only reason he seems so familiar to her.

Alec is determined to prove to Gigi that he is truly the man she thinks he is, even if it means coming clean about his fame—and his family’s connection to the story Gigi’s been working so hard to break. But as their feelings for each other grow deeper, Gigi and Alec must navigate a new reality…one where both of their hard-won careers are put directly in the path of an international scandal.

Shockingly Good

I know I am going to sound crazy but I think the story would have been even better with less spicy scenes. It was just a great story. I went in with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

Great book

Loved this book. Short but very good. Would love to see more by this author

AMAZING LOVE STORY!!!

Such an amazing love story!!! I am in love with this book!! The connection between Georgia and Alex is simply beautiful!!

Steamy and fun

Loved the relationship but the story line with the article and scandal wasn’t super exciting to me.

Has it all!

Love love these characters and the storyline. So well done. It’s not often you find this mix of suspense and heat in the same story. A million stars!

Best steamy romance of all time!

This is the first romance I’ve EVER read that is funny, heartfelt, perfectly paced, has an actual plot, has fully developed characters who use MATURE communication skills, and is steamy AF! Of course a celebrity hookup is far feched, but the author makes this feel believable and relatable (even if in more real-life scenarios). And thank the romance Goddess there is REAL passionate and honest sex with realistic sexual vocabulary and no “heated cores” or “velvet wrapped steel”. Not a cringe in sight! I could easily see myself in this story and loved every single well-written page.

Cute

Really enjoyed this one. Super cute, entertaining, charming, and predictable at times but not in a bad way. The epilogue really helped land the finale, it gave me everything I was hoping for at end.

Ten Stars! I want more.

The narrator, story, character development, all of it. So perfect! I may immediately re read it. My face book of the year perhaps.

4 and 1/2 stars!

Great love story and has good drama and connection with sone spicy scenarios. Enjoyable read.

Total perfection

If I could give more stars I would. The characters are amazing. The narrator did a great job. Even the epilogue was perfect. But what I liked best was the spicy scenes. This is definitely 5 chili peppers spicy. But the way it’s written, it felt more like making love than just straight f-ing. They were hot, and also tender. You could feel them falling more and more in love each time they were together.
