There is a lot going on with this one and yes it is a romance but I feel that was not the primary focus of this book. It was a good read, just not what I was expecting going in. This is book 3 in the series but can be read as a standalone but it is recommended you read the other two books prior as there are a lot of characters and sub stories happening. As a final book in the series it was a great wrap up and conclusion.

I enjoyed the audio. The story was touching and interesting. I loved Ivy’s character. I felt sad for Max. Seems like he went through a lot which made him a “hard” person. I loved Sloan, she was such a strong woman.

This was a fun romcom! I loved the banter and how hard Max worked to win Sloane over. I enjoyed Becky’s writing style and thought the narrators did a great job!

I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook from Netgalley. Thank you to the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this novel. All thoughts are my own.

Thank you to author Becky Wade for providing access to the audiobook of Uneasy Street narrated by Reba Buhr and Ryan Hudson. It’s the third/final novel in the Sons of Scandal but the first I’ve read; now I want to read books 1 and 2!

It’s an enemies-to-lovers forced-proximity romance, two of my favorite tropes. However, the forced proximity details felt manipulative, especially when Max used passive aggressive means to require Sloane to talk with him. Also, the extent to which Sloane allowed her niece to pursue an important goal without her parents’ active involvement felt unbelievable.

Aside from these issues, I enjoyed Uneasy Street. It had the elements I expect from a Becky Wade novel: contemporary setting, subplots of faith and romance, characters dealing with deeper personal issues, and many notes of fashion. Sloane’s career of instructing others in using proper manners was very interesting as was her past history with Max and the book-related business they created.

I’ve been cheering on Ms. Wade since she transitioned from traditionally publishing her novels to independently publishing the Sons of Scandal series. I suspect one factor for this change was because some aspects of Uneasy Street (and the series) are beyond the comfort level of Christian publishers. I’m curious to see the future direction of the author’s writing career and wish her continued success.

This was a really good read. I throughly enjoyed it and it was a really nice clean read. A good third book in the series.

While I didn’t dislike this book, it wasn’t my favorite in the series. What kept me reading was Sloan’s relationship with her niece and their journey to uncover more about her birth family. That subplot was the most engaging aspect for me.

Unfortunately, the romance felt underwhelming and lacked depth. While I enjoyed seeing familiar couples and family members from previous books, there wasn’t much else that stood out. The narration was enjoyable, but overall, this book just didn’t have the same spark as others in the series.

That said, I truly enjoy Becky’s writing and have loved many of her other books—this one just fell a little flat for me.


Thank you, Becky, NetGalley, and Victory Editing, for the opportunity to read, listen, and review this advanced copy.

What a wonderful finish to the Sons of Scandal series! I enjoyed the sizzling tension between Sloane and Max as it made their happy ending so much more anticipated. The pranks that Max employed to get Sloane to talk to him were hilarious. I also enjoyed reading the POV of Sloane's niece, Ivy. She added such a fun element to the story with her rats and amazingly written teenage vibes. The mystery surrounding her biological family was intriguing. I liked that Ivy used the puzzle as a way to get Max and Sloane to spend more time together. 😏 She made a great matchmaker. Now, I can't forget about Fiona. Her journey has been ongoing since she was introduced in Memory Lane. I'm glad that she learned how to forgive and move on and find her own happily ever after. This story is a great choice for those who like Christian contemporary romance with deeper storylines.

The audio of this book was wonderfully done. Dual narrators Reba Buhr and Ryan Hudson did a great job giving each character his or her own voice and inflecting just the right tone for each scene. I would definitely listen to other audiobooks narrated by either of them (provided they fit within my reading preferences).

Thanks so much to the author and publisher for the ALC. All opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this book but it hasn’t been my favorite of the series. That being said, the parts I really did enjoy was the adoption storyline and finding birth family plot. I appreciate the occupation of the main character to be different and unique focused on manners and lady-like behavior. That isn’t something I’ve read about before and it kept me interested and engaged with that aspect of the book. Where I didn’t love it was much is I felt maybe there was a lack in the chemistry between the two characters. Their love wasn’t super interesting or believable. I also found the tiara mystery a little unnecessary and didn’t add much to the storyline. I would still recommend if you have read the other books in the series but overall it was my personal least favorite from the series. I would rate it 3.5. Great book just not a favorite!

Another great listen in this Sons of Scandal series by Becky Wade! I loved getting to know Max better and his story! Like the rest of the books in the series, it’s not just the main character that keeps you engaged, it’s all of the other side stories!

Thank you for the delightful advanced audio copy!

If you're looking for easy, entertaining, and clean romance stories, then I recommend the Sons of Scandal series to you. Oddly enough, my least favorite aspect is the way Christianity is portrayed. As a Christian, I would not be pleased to find myself in a romantic relationship like the ones in this series since it doesn't seem God and His ways are a priority in both characters' lives. Nonetheless, Becky Wade writes fascinating and digestible stories that follow enough characters to be intriguing, but not so many that it is confusing. 'Uneasy Street' has some of my favorite elements of the series: Ivy's search for biological family and Sloane and Max's deep friendship. Additionally, Reba Buhr and Ryan Hudson are fantastic narrators.

Special thanks to NetGalley for a complimentary copy of this audiobook. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The amount of love I have for A Sons of Scandal Romance is just too much! 🤍 it all began when I picked up Memory Lane having absolutely no idea what the book was about or knowing that there would be faith themes in this book. A while later my library said “hey, look there’s a new book by Becky Wade, called Rocky Road” obviously I read it. Only to find out that the worlds blend in together a bit! I was hooked then!

❤️‍🔥 not too long ago Becky DMed me to offer me her 3rd book: Uneasy Street. I literally did a little happy dance 💃 & went in blind again and yes the stories continue to blend into something so beautiful! 💛

Do I need to say that I love this book? 📖 because if it’s not obvious to you… idk what to tell you! She’s such an amazing author and her books bring me so much joy. I love the redemption themes, forgiveness in such tough situations.

This is a 5⭐️ series for me with every single book being 5⭐️
Please check her out and get all of these books you’ll love them! ✨

Thank you @beckywadewriter for this series! I love it so much and I can relate to it so much! ✨🥹💛

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.

I thought the narrator did a superb job. She was easy to understand and pace was appropriate. No complaints from me.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Loved this one! This is a beautiful love story of second chances and forgiveness and putting in the hard work to make relationships last. There were so many side stories along the way that just wrapped it all together as a story of all the different types of love and it worked so well! I would definitely recommend this one and now I want to go back and read the first 2 books in the series. But even if you don’t read them this one was wonderful just on its own.

Minimal Christian undertones about loving others and God loving you.

I listened to the audio book, didn’t love the female narrators male voice but honestly I still loved the story.

Uneasy Street takes you on a journey of discovery, healing and hope!

Author Becky Wade does a great job of sharing the story of Sloan & Max while bringing in her niece's story too. Not knowing this was the 3rd book in the series, I did not feel like I missed a bunch of information that I should have known and truly felt like it was a stand alone.

Former good friends and business partners turn to enemies after misunderstandings and lack of communication wreck their worlds apart. Fast forward and they are "stuck" together for 3 months. This besides a sweet romance, brought hope and healing to all of the characters. Good job all around in my book!

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC audiobook 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. I 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. The narrators did a lovely job bringing the book to life!

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!🩷

A big thank you to Becky Wade for sending me an advanced ebook/audio copy of this book! All thoughts and opinions above are my own.📗

Max’s story is finally here! I devoured Uneasy Street! Not only is it enemies to lovers filled with all the delicious banter, but it also weaves in a missing tiara & a wonderful adoption storyline with forgiveness & reconciling the past. Becky Wade wraps up this series in a great big bow & proves once again why she’s such an amazing writer, with endearing characters who feel so real.

Max Cirillo has a plan. He’s been waiting a long time to finally get Sloane Madison back in his orbit & find out what went wrong years ago when a misunderstanding led to estrangement. They had an amazing relationship where they could finish each other’s sentences & were always there for each other as friends & business partners. When Sloane returns to Maine, she unknowingly rents a garage apartment from Max who makes it his mission to get under her skin.

The struggling etiquette expert’s back in Maine to take temporary custody of her niece while her adoptive parents are out of the country. But while fifteen year old Ivy’s searching for her birth father, Sloan’s grappling with seeing Max again. While Sloane & Max work through their messy past, they also help Ivy find her missing father. With all the close proximity, & working together, their walls begin to crumble & the sizzling chemistry between them roars to life. But, can Sloane really trust Max with her heart?

I loved Max’s story! It was even more fulfilling than I imagined. It was nice to see the depth beyond his businessman, playboy image. Both he & Sloane are complicated characters with difficult pasts. They’re so perfect for each other, but had to get past the hurt & fears. Max also has his hands full trying to locate a missing tiara.

Ivy’s adoption story definitely tugged on my heartstrings. Her journey in meeting her father & discovering even more secrets had me eagerly turning the pages. She was a darling addition to the story. It was also fun seeing the other brothers again, & Fiona find closure with her storyline.

I listened to the audiobook version & it was fantastic! I loved the dual narration. The narrators were both fabulous, but I especially enjoyed the male narrator. They both did a great job bringing this book to life particularly with such a large cast of characters & complex storyline.

Highly recommend this book & the entire series! After finishing, I was immediately sad that this was the end. I’m hoping somewhere in the future we’ll get to see these characters again. I’m going to miss them! While Uneasy Street can be read as a standalone, it’s much better if you’ve read the previous books, as each story builds on the other. I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author. All opinions are my own & voluntarily provided.

Loved this! Not only is the audiobook version absolutely fantastic, but the story itself is WONDERFULLY WRITTEN! This is my favorite of the three but I really enjoyed them all. The narrators are brilliant and I listened to the entire book in under 48 hours. Great job, Becky Wade! If you are a fan of clean romance... this book (and series!) is for you! Highly recommend.

Once upon a time Max Cirillo and Sloane Madison were close friends and business partners. But when their business relationship imploded, so did the friendship. Now, four years later, they’ll have no choice but to confront their history—and the undeniable spark between them.

Beneath the animosity was an underlying mutual attraction between them even though I wasn't that invested in it. Max also came out cocky and seemed to throw his money and status around. I found myself more drawn to the mystery of who Sloane's niece's birth father was. The missing tiara storyline also seemed unnecessary but the drama surrounding it was interesting.

I didn't like the audio for this. The male narrator had a text-to-speech kind of tone. The female narrator was just okay.

Thank you to Netgalley and Publisher for an ALC in exchange for an honest review.

What can I say? Becky Wade is OUTSTANDING. I loved every inch of this audiobook. It was the perfect conclusion to the Sons of Scandal series, wrapping up all the loose ends in a perfect blend of romance, tension, and layers of complexity. And Wade's prose was spot on. Humorous, touching, delightful... She poured it all out so beautifully, which the narrator captured to perfection.

What I truly appreciate about Wade, is not just that she delivers a story sure to curl my toes with delight, but also that she weaves in themes of faith. Her message of forgiveness added tremendous depth to the plot, making the book more than simple romantic fluff. There is more to Uneasy Street than meets the eye, and Wade has ensured that her story touches not only the heart, but also the soul.
