Flirting with Scandal Capital Confessions
Reviews

Find this review and more at kimberlyfaye reads . I've been anxious to read this book since I first heard about it because a) I love Chanel Cleeton's books, b) it's set in DC and not nearly enough books in genres I enjoy are, c) two words: political scandal, and d) forbidden romance. And holy crap, y'all, it was everything I wanted and more. Chanel's foray into adult contemporary romance was a HUGE winner for me. I really enjoyed Jackie and Will's story. I was absolutely hooked on the idea of them from their very first meeting. The sexual tension between them snap, crackled and popped and I couldn't wait for the big payoff. These two had chemistry in spades. Of course, things were also complicated between them because of who they were and who they associated with. Plus, Will's very much in the public eye ... and there's that pesky Capital Confessions blog to worry about. ;) Still, Jackie and Will found it impossible to stay away from each other and I'm glad. They were smoking hot together. Things were never going to be easy, but what they shared was worth the fight. This book was just SO... DC. (I work in DC, but thankfully not IN politics. The organization I work for does have a political agenda, but I'm not involved in the nitty gritty. I do, however, hear a good deal of it from friends and coworkers, so I feel justified in making that statement.) The secrets, the lies, the shady politicians and backroom deals. SO DC. I'm always fascinated by the way policy is really set and how people are elected, but I prefer to observe from the outside. I could never actually work in politics. But damn, do I love watching TV shows and reading books about it. It's so satisfying when a book you've been anticipating lives up to every single expectation you've built up for it. And trust me, I build expectations high, y'all. It frequently comes back to bite me in the ass. Not with Flirting with Scandal Though. This was perfect. Sexy, scandalous and even sweet. It read like a TV show and I could picture it all unfolding before my eyes. And yes, I would absolutely tune in to watch this on a weekly basis. I loved the characters and can't wait for more from some of the secondary characters. Starting, of course, with Blair in Playing with Trouble. I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
