I enjoyed the last book in this series so much! I loved Sloane and her relationship with her niece. I liked Max, but felt like he wasn’t as likeable as Jeremiah and Jude, maybe it was the playboy aspect of him. But overall it was a great story.

I have been a fan of Becky Wade for years and I have just adored this series. Uneasy Street is the newest installment of the Sons of Scandal series and centers around Max and Sloane. At one point, Max and Sloane had been friends and business partners. Unfortunately, they had a big falling out and had not seen each other in years. Through a series of events, they are thrown back together in quite close quarters. I am not usually a fan of an enemies to more story because they can either be really hard to believe or full of over the top pranks. Thankfully, this book did contain either of those issues I usually have with this trope. For fear of giving too much away, I won't say much about the plot other than there are some mysteries that throw in some twists and turns to keep the reader invested. I loved the characters and appreciated be able to watch them wade their way through hurts in the past and move in the direction of reconciliation. Becky Wade develops characters so well and incorporates the messiness of life without leaving the reader feeling too much heaviness. This book can definitely be read as a standalone, but I would highly recommend the entire series.

Uneasy Street is the third and final story in Becky Wade’s Sons of Scandal series. I have to say this was my least favourite of the three. I found the conflict between Max and Sloane to be frustrating (even though it was also completely understandable).

The story didn’t really pick up until a couple of twists hit around the halfway point. The setup is simple: Sloane has offered to care for her teenage niece while Ivy’s parents are working overseas for a few months. They have rented out their house but want Ivy to continue going to her regular school, so have rented an apartment for Sloane and Ivy … an apartment owned by Sloane’s college friend and one-time business partner, Max.

Max may not be a full-on billionaire, but he has all the toys including the private jet (are you really even a billionaire if you don’t have access to a private jet?). But Uneasy Street wasn’t the regular billionaire-meets-poor-girl romance, because Max and Sloane were both involved in the app’s establishment which means Sloane should be as rich as Max, but isn’t. But that isn’t what she resents.

I didn’t exactly like Sloane at first but I did admire her. She resented Max for having pushed her out of Libri, the digital library app they founded in college, not for the millions and millions he’d earned since pushing her out. I did appreciate that Max and Sloan covered off the misunderstanding behind their falling-out fairly early in the book, so the story wasn’t bogged down by that mystery.

Sloan is an etiquette expert whose muse is “Princess Kate” aka the Princess of Wales. This did mean she came across as a bit prissy and perhaps false, because there were times when her manners felt more like how she behaved rather than who she was. I did enjoy the banter between Sloane and Max, especially when she forgot her etiquette and told him what she really felt.

My favourite character was Ivy, who wasn’t afraid to tell it how she saw it, and who had the typical teenage enthusiasm (and occasional thoughtlessness).

Thanks to the author and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.

A great read filled with humour and serious times. Twists and turns I wasn’t expecting with a great ending.

Absolutely loved this book! I enjoyed the first two of this series as well, so it was fun to see the updates from those main characters in here too. As a birth mom in open adoption, I was THRILLED to see an open adoption storyline! It is so rare to find a positive open adoption relationship in fiction books, and to see a beautiful and supportive relationship between Sloane, her niece (her sister's daughter, who was placed in adoption), and the adoptive parents was a joy. It reminded me a lot of my relationship with my own birth daughter. I also enjoyed the mystery of finding about more biological family, what happened years ago, and appreciated sharing that the reality of reunion can lead to more questions and feelings.

I enjoyed the balance of Sloane's family dynamics and the romantic storyline. It was a friends, to enemies, to lovers trope and that was a fun ride. There was also some redeeming and growth with other side character's from the other series along the way!

Brilliant conclusion to the Sons of Scandal trilogy. Loved Sloane's character, her interest in etiquette was so unique that it made her character fresh and interesting. I enjoyed following her niece's search and how that impacted her relationship with her dad. I found the romance to be sweet and loved how we caught up with the other brothers. I also appreciated the brothers mum's storyline and following that.

Another great book by Becky Wade.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley UK for a free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great conclusion to this series. I loved seeing the story of the 3rd brother (Max) and it to be a second chance story with a woman he worked with years ago. I also loved the adoption story of her niece where she walked through finding her biological father along with continuing the quest to find any other members of her biological family. While this book can stand alone, I think the other perspectives, particularly Fiona, benefit from you having the history of the previous books in the series. The reconciliation plot with her sister and the ways she needed to confront the ways she was thinking about the woman who hurt her in a similar way.

The third instalment of Becky Wade’s Sons of Scandal is out now and I’m here to tell you to add this book to your TBR. The book was charming, lighthearted and the Maine food references had me drooling!
The story follows former friends and business partners who are not sure how to act around each other as they are forced into close proximity. Sloane Madison unknowingly rents a cute garage apartment from her former business partner and nemesis, Max Cirillo while she cares for her niece. Max has strategically brought Sloane closer to him because he feels they have some unfinished business. But can they both forgive each other for what they each did several years ago?

This one was so sweet! I loved the various plots and pacing! The Christian themes were so well written! i really enjoyed this one!
thank you to the author for my early copy!

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC publication for an honest review.

When I received this ARC, I noticed it was part of a series (the other books were on my TBR list) so I went ahead and read those first. i am so glad I did because this whole series is a true gem. While you could read "Uneasy Street" as a standalone, you will get a deeper appreciation by starting from book one.

The series focuses on three brothers, and this last one is centered on the illegitimate half-brother, Max. This book is a friends (enemies) to something more/second chance, I adored our couple Sloane and Max and their complicated, slow burn love story. But even more epic was all the storylines that were filled with forgiveness, healing and so much grace! Not just with our main duo but many of the side characters as well.

Speaking of side characters, I loved Ivy! What a pure heart and such a mature soul for a teenager. It would be interesting to see a book focused on her down the road...

This was a perfect addition and a nice ending to this series.

Another fun read from Becky Wade!
Best book in this series that I've come to love!
I was so excited to see this that I found myself hoping to get it. I was happy when I got it!
Wonder characters that I loved in getting to know along with some heartfelt moments that made this a feel good story.
I really didn't want this book to end. It was so good!
This is the third and final book of this series.
I hated to say goodbye to Max and Sloane. I felt like they became my friends by the time their story ended. I'm still thinking about them.
5 stars for a fun and delightful novel. I highly recommend it.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

I’ve enjoyed many of Becky’s books and anticipated the finale to this series. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite my cup of tea.

I liked Max’s character in the first two books, but I didn’t get him and Sloane as a couple. They didn’t mesh for me. Especially with their respective faith relationships. Sloane has a Christian worldview, but I never got that outlook from Max until the 70% mark after he was trying to prove to Sloane that he was different. He showed up at church and announced he’d been a Christian for years. But there was no personal faith beliefs or fruit in his POV.

There were some lovely moments of getting to revisit Jeremiah and Jude and Gemma and Remy. I loved the plot tie ups we got, even if I never got to the point of liking Fiona.

In terms of faith content, forgiveness is the main overreaching theme.

Like I said, not my cup of tea personally, and I know there are other readers who will love it!

Content: innuendo; mention of libido; man has a playboy lifestyle; a man struggles with gambling; teen pregnancy out of wedlock;

*Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a positive review. These are my honest thoughts and opinions.

What an incredible ending to a fantastic series! This book is the story of Max, Felix Camden’s third son, but as so many other character stories woven into like Sloane, Ivy, and Fiona. It possesses wonderful characters with stories that you lose yourself in which finds you internally dialoguing with characters and emphasizing with them. Max’s character has always been portrayed as handsome and broody- insert swoon- and we learn the depth and character that is behind that exterior. It made me love his character even more!

I was constantly reminded while reading this book that God is always there even when we do not feel he is. His grace is abundant and His timing is always perfect.

I absolutely loved this series and devoured these books! I hated to see this book end. While this book does a great job of putting the finishing touches on all the brother’s stories, I hope we get to catch up with all the characters in future books.

I was both happy and sad to finish the last of the Sons of Scandal series by Becky Wade. I've been looking forward to Max's story since the series began and was pleased at how it all unfolded. The only disappointment is that the series is over. I'm already rooting for a reboot with Sloane's niece, Ivy, as our next-gen heroine!

Thank you to Net Galley, the author, and the publisher for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

Becky Wade just keeps getting better and better! Her books are so engaging and I really can't get enough of them! The family in the Sons of Scandal series is just amazing and it was so much fun to read about all of them again. I loved finally getting Max and Sloan's story and getting a great and satisfying conclusion to every one's romances in this series. I especially loved Ivy and her adoption story.

I alternated between reading and listening to the audio book. The narrator was just perfect!

Many thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed Becky Wade’s Sons of Scandal series, and Uneasy Street was a sweet, romantic ending. The subplots in this story were tied in nicely to the main story; each one complemented the other. Max and Sloane were both relatable, despite the fact that I’m not a billionaire nor an etiquette connoisseur, but I enjoyed getting to know them better. It was also great to see other characters from this series again. If you enjoy contemporary romance, definitely add Becky’s books to your TBR! 4/5 stars


I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I just love Becky Wade’s contemporary romances. Her characters are always so well done! Max and Sloane have so much baggage but oh man, I just wanted them to get their second chance! Uneasy Street is truly both enemies to lovers and a second chance romance, though they were never a couple before, the pain of best friends having a falling out certainly qualifies. Both hurt the other deeply, not quite realizing just how much. I loved watching their bond slowly mend and love begin to grow. I loved the themes of forgiveness throughout.

Ivy was adorable. A fun change of pace to have a teenager so involved in the story and with a story of her own. I loved joining in on Ivy’s search for her birth father and beyond. And her two rats! 😆

I loved the closure both Sloane and Max got with their families. And the conclusion to Fiona’s story spanning all three books- so full of redemption and forgiveness. Seeing what the other couples were up to was icing on the cake. Sad to say goodbye to Maine and this series and very much looking forward to whatever Becky Wade has for us next!

I received a complementary copy of this book from the author via NetGalley. I was not asked for a positive review and my opinions are my own.

Wow that was so good and totally binge worthy! I loved Sloane and Max. They had amazing banter and chemistry! This was an amazing conclusion and it was fun to see Jeremiah and Jude sprinkled in through out the plot. I found the story to be swoony and I wanted to keep going and neglect all my chores! Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the advanced copy. All thoughts are my own!

I would give this book a ten if it was possible!!! This was the best Sons of Scandal book out of all three and that's saying something!

Mad and Sloane (and Ivy!!) what a wild wild ride. This book had so many layers and stories to it that all wrapped up beautifully. I just finished it and I'm still teary eyed. This is a 5+ tissue book for sure.

I particularly appreciated Becky's mention of faith and God. I noticed in several of her other books she had became more mainstream and I missed the faith aspect of it. I do wish Max had more of a faith arc in his story. Because just going to church doesn't make you a Christian. But other than that I loved it and I may have to read it again!!!

Etiquette expert Sloane Madison returns home to Maine to take care of her niece for the summer and help her search for her birth family, but her new landlord turns out to be her number one enemy: Max Cirillo. Sloane and Max used to be best friends and even started a business together, and then on one fateful day, their entire friendship and business relationship imploded. Max, who is now a rich CEO, is determined to figure out what caused the split between them, and as he discovers that his feelings for Sloane run deeper than he ever realized, he will do whatever it takes to win her heart.👑

Uneasy Street is the third and final book in Becky Wade’s Sons of Scandal series, and it was a delight to finally read Max’s story. Being a rakish playboy and a strait-laced etiquette expert, Max and Sloane had great chemistry and lots of banter. While this was a fun and sweet romance, it also didn’t shy away from covering some heavier topics, like familial death, abandonment/neglect, drug overdose, and adultery. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and this series, and I look forward to seeing what Becky writes next!🩷
