Scandal

Secrets & Scandal Duology, Book 2

De: Gianni Holmes

Narrado por: John Solo

Love's true test sometimes is a scandal.

Charles knows his affair with August is the most scandalous thing he's ever done. It has the potential to ruin his relationship with the people who matter most to him. Worse, the expiration date he's tacked on their affair has lost its meaning since he's gone and fallen in love with his Sir.

August believes there's a future for him and Charles. He might not be able to see it now, but he's not prepared to let Charles go. Not when Charles has brought back something to his life that he thought he'd lost forever.

When an anonymous person threatens to expose their affair, Charles is given an ultimatum. Will he do the right thing and walk away from a love he never thought he would ever experience again? Or will he choose August and damn the consequences?

Scandal is the final book in the Secrets & Scandal duology. It contains a Sir badly in need of aftercare, scandalous secrets, and a precious baby girl who puts everything back into perspective.

Contains mature themes.

Redemption Arc

I think of all the books with the Moore and Long families, this was my favorite. When we first met Charles in Take Care of You, he was an irresponsible playboy whose son tried to manage him. In Secrets, he had started a relationship with his son's stepson, which they kept a secret from everyone. As the title of this book suggests, that secret comes out as a scandal. But there was so much more to the story. Between Secrets and Scandal, we get to see another side of Charles, and I loved seeing who he really was under the surface. The grief he'd faced, and the way he really lets go with August. How he was willing to give up everything for the chance to be a better dad this time around. It was wonderful to see how much Charles grew throughout the book, and I was so happy that he got his HEA. It was great that John Solo did the narration for this after having done the Taking Care series as well, since it provided a lot of continuity, and I always enjoy his work.

Surprising

Though this had angst, some 🔥 steamy scenes, and family drama, this story was surprisingly emotional.

Scandal!

I truly enjoyed this audible book so much!! The writing and the performance was done amazing well!! I’m sad to see the series end…

Charles and Auggie and baby makes three

I didn't think I was going to like them as much as I liked Declan and Owen. Hats off to the author for writing such a compelling relationship. I actually think I like them more (just a bit). The ending was a bit over dramatic for me; that guy was such an idiot. However, the epilogue made up for it. Love listening to John Solo. Will be looking into more of Gianni Holmes' books in the future.

Scandal

Just like Secrets, I loved this story when I read it and love it even more after listening to it. John Solo did a fantastic job narrating this story, absolutely loved it!
