Maddox Crawford was one of the Perfect Gentlemen of
Creighton Academy. His sudden death sends his friends and
especially Gabriel Bond's life reeling. Not only must he
bury his best friend but Mad left a mess that he must clean
up. The wealthy, privileged, powerful life these friends
have lived is about to be torn down because SCANDAL NEVER
SLEEPS.
To escape everything that Mad's death has brought upon him,
Gabe finds himself in the arms of a beautiful stranger, but the mind blowing one
night stand is about to come back
to haunt him. In more ways than he ever expected.
Maddox had groomed Everly Parker as a rising star in the
executive world. Now with him gone she is sure her job will
be the next thing she mourns, especially when she
accidentally ended up sleeping with her new boss. But
Everly has a secret of her own that will pit this couple
against unknown and known enemies.
SCANDAL NEVER SLEEPS is undeniably a compelling, complex
read. The beginning of this book shows this group
of "Gentlemen" getting themselves, or at least one of them,
out of being expelled, which gives a hint to the future.
The past moves to the future with a funeral for Maddox and
the many troubles he left behind, including his own
murder. Added to the mix is Gabe's pregnant sister, a misunderstanding with
Everly's background, things that aren't adding up and
Gabe's head is spinning, but not for long. If there was
anything the "Gentlemen" can do is figure out a crisis and
fix it.
At first I wasn't sure if
I liked Gabe, but he had his moments where he wasn't just
a wealthy jerk and he grew on me. Everly also seemed a
little wishy-washy but she too stepped up and stood up and
I liked her by the middle of the book. There were a number
of twists and turns that did make me stop and think -- not
in confusion, just me trying to figure out the mystery. I did
not expect the ending that came. I was honestly way out in
left field with my assumption. Authors Shayla Black and
Lexi Blake can weave a mystery with steamy sex and the
privileged lifestyle like few other authors, and this is
only book one of their Perfect Gentlemen series. I
cannot wait for more!
