This contains an audiobook review.

This is the third book in the Sons of Scandal series by Becky Wade. It is a kisses only romance and a standalone story for the most part, but this series does have some ongoing plot thread that start in the first book and finish in this one. For the most enjoyment, read them in order.

Sloane and Max have the best banter! I loved them together. I learned some etiquette lessons from Sloane that I probably will never forget! Max is such a charmer! How could you not love him?

I also enjoyed seeing the brothers and other family members from previous books. Resolutions all around! It was very satisfying. The e-book does contain some information in the acknowledgements section about an item from the book that isn't read in the audio. That is my own pet peeve about audio. I wish it would include all content from print books.

Now for the audio part...
These narrators were PERFECTION! I enjoyed listening to them so much. They really brought the book to life. I don't think I would have had the same love for this book if it weren't for them. The infections given were spot on! This story is told in third person, but there is both a male and female narrator. They read the parts of the book that relate to male and female characters respectively, not just Sloane and Max. It was very well done. All the praise for them!

I was given the opportunity to read and listen to an advanced copy of this book by the author through Netgalley. Many thanks to both. I am happy to leave an honest review.

Five stars!!

A sweet, Christian friends-to-enemies- to- lovers romance!! This was a story of college best friends/business partners Max & Sloane. Sloane experiences a big loss & withdraws from Max & their dreams of starting a business that makes books & reading accessible to all. Their paths cross again years later & things are… different. Max pursues Sloane but she needs time to regain trust in him and in herself.

I really loved this, especially the faith aspect! This was the 3rd in the series & I’m already starting book one after reading this. There were a few side storylines that were so sweet also!

I listened to the audiobook format of the book & both male & female narrators were great and engaging!

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book by Becky Wade before its official publication.

Thank you, NetGalley for providing me with this free audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Story: 3.5 stars
One of the narrators: 2 stars.

Sooo, yeah... still liked the story but didn't really like the actor reading Max's part. His voice wasn't terrible or anything but there was something about his tone or cadence or something the sounded repetitive to me. I just found it a little distracting.

This was nice ending to an enjoyable series. I didn't love it as much as Books 1 and 2 but still liked it enough that I will certainly buy the ebook when it's released. It's are already on my "Wishlist".

I initially found it hard to like Max and Sloane, the two main characters, and even after I found out why they were estranged, I still wasn't completely on board with them finding their HEA but eventually started to root for them. Also, although I liked the overall theme of forgiveness and not holding on to grudges, I personally felt ambivalent about some of the side storylines regarding adultery. On the other hand, I loved Ivy and enjoyed revisiting my favorite characters from the first, two books.

No profanity and a little PG kissing.

Becky Wade’s books are always a treat and this last book in her ‘Sons of Scandal’ series is exceptional. A lovely mix of angst and humour with a gentle, but oh so profound, faith thread woven throughout.

While ‘Uneasy Street’ could work well as a standalone, I think reading the books in order will enrich your enjoyment so much more. This crazy, complicated family, the brothers and their personal love stories, all build to this grande finale featuring outcast Max.

Excuse me while I swoon, but Max is so…Max! Infuriating at times, yes, but, oh my, once he makes his mind up about Sloane…well, it’s all toe-curls and smelling salts. But oh what a journey! Wade kept me on tenterhooks right to the end with this unique friends to enemies to wary friends to more trope.

Sloane is such an interesting mix of fiery spunkiness and controlled etiquette expert. Love her profession! The way she leans into the structure in the rules of conduct like they are a security blanket. It’s funny and sad all wrapped up together. And makes a great contrast to Max’s laid back, easy going manner.

And, oh my, the banter between these two! Max knows just how to goad Sloane and no matter how outrageous he was, I couldn’t stop falling for him. I was definitely Team Max from the start, impatiently waiting for Sloane to catch up. So. Much. Fun.

And if all that romantical deliciousness wasn’t enough, the author also gives us two family mysteries to sort out and Max is in the middle of both of them. ‘Uneasy Street’ is the kind of emotionally compelling story you don’t want to come to an end. I could have done with a dozen more epilogues but even then, I’d be left wanting more.

I listened to the audio book and thrilled over the dual narration provided by Reba Buhr and Ryan Hudson. Brilliant performances that captured the essence of these beloved characters making this an emotionally satisfying listening experience. The combination of storytelling and acting talent ensures that ‘Uneasy Street’ will end up on my re-listen play list.

My thanks to the author and Net Galley for providing me with an audio edition of this book.

This is my second book of Wade’s and I loved it just as much as the first. I really enjoyed the multi POVs. I appreciated the different voices that told the story. Not only did the narrators do a great job of portraying these characters from Wade’s words, but the variety and tone used by Reba Buhr and Ryan Hudson was excellent. I love narrators that have great expression too. These two were very fun!

This book has a favorite trope of mine, enemies to lovers. I loved how the story plays out. Not all the characters found all they needed but there was resolution and peace for many. Ivy was a favorite. She stole the show for me. I liked how the author showed us a normal teen, that is learning through life. I really loved the surprises and twists for Ivy. There is also added an entertaining mystery for missing jewelry and finding birth parents.

Sloane and Max were excellent. Max was pretty arrogant at first, Sloane is stubborn and elegant and her realizations were wonderful. There is a great theme of forgiveness with them and other characters in this story. Max was very funny at times, especially over water.

I need to get caught up on Wade’s books asap!

I received a NetGalley approval for the audio and ebook from the author. All views are my own.

UNEASY STREET is my favorite of the series now, it is SO GOOD Y’ALL! Max and Sloane are a chef's kiss as a couple! Their banter, their history, UPenn, a book app, just ALL THE GOODNESS!

Sloane is spending time watching her younger sister and Max happens to be the landlord of their temporary apartment. He and Sloane haven’t seen each other in several years and its sparks and fire as soon as they do.

Max is the third son from Felix, their infamous famous father, hence the series’ name, and he’s not only the one with the darkest hair, but the darkest past as well.

If you enjoy dual pov, sparks, banter, he falls first, friends to more, and found family you will enjoy this one! Also if you have a young daughter who enjoys reading romance, this is another great series to share with her!

Highly recommend reading both the print and the audiobook- it's a great dual narration!

Uneasy Street is the much anticipated third book in the Sons of Scandal series. I have been anticipating this book and it did not disappoint!

This book is an enemies to lovers romance...but it's so much more. It's full of romance, friendship, forgiveness, grace, family (born and found), integrity, personal responsibility, and humility. All of these themes were woven seamlessly and beautifully into this story in such a profound way. The character growth and story development flowed effortlessly throughout. This is a story you will want to get lost in.

After reading this book, I had the opportunity to listen to an ALC. The narrators for the audiobook were spot on. They brought so much life to the characters and the story. They were emotive, engaging, and did a stellar job of not only differentiating the voices for each of the characters, but also making each character sound age appropriate.

*Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC and the ALC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

*SWOON* Becky Wade does it again! This is the third book in the Sons of Scandal series and just like the other two, it does not disappoint! I bounced back and forth from paper book to audiobook and it was equally enjoyable. The narrators of the audiobook did a phenomenal job and really brought the characters to life. I plowed through this book and cannot wait to read it a second time.

This was my second read by Becky Wade and not from this same series. I wish I had read the other Sons of Scandal books first because while this can definitely stand alone, I think it would have been more meaningful if I had the backstory. This felt like three stories in one and has multiple points of view. This got a little confusing on audio with only two narrators but I enjoyed each storyline individually.

The synopsis makes it seem like this is a simple enemies to lovers story but there are two other sub plots (maybe even 3) that take up quite a bit of page time. I think my favorite was the main plot line of Sloane and Max - former friends and colleagues turned enemies turned lovers in the end. I didn’t love Max at first because he seemed a little pushy but he won me (and Sloane!) over by the end. The other two or three stories mixed in were nice filler but I wonder if they would have been more meaningful to me if I read the other books in the series.

While the switch in points of view was a little difficult to keep up with, it wasn’t an issue of the narrators. They both did a great job of changing the voicing slightly enough that I helped. I think chapter/section headers would have been helpful as the points of view changed.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this audiobook. The thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.

Content Notes: Kisses

Uneasy Street was a great end to the series! I loved Ivy and how her story was interwoven with Max and Sloane. I also liked seeing the characters and stories from the first two books a bit as well.

Favorite things:
🐀Ivy’s rats
🐀Morning quiet times
🐀Max’s persistence
🐀Trip to Boston
🐀Pumpkin Festival
🐀Faith elements
🐀 Forced proximity

This could be a standalone, however, I think the best experience would be to start at the beginning of the series to fully understand the family dynamics, backstory and connections.

I listened to the audio and felt like the narrators fit the characters. I also was able to speed it up without any issue which I really appreciate when listening to an audiobook. I especially liked Sloane’s voice.

The book releases February 14, 2025!

Thank you Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op and Becky Wade for the advanced audio. All opinions are my own.

Loved it! What I loved about the book:
Sweet & Clean Romance, Strong Family Connection, Finding Forgiveness in ourselves and others, Finding Our Way in this World, HEA

I received a complimentary LRC copy of this book and 🎧 read it with pleasure. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I Thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook. I liked the narrators! They brought the book to life.

Best enjoyed in the series! 💕

This book was narrated so well! I loved the smoothness of the changes in voices, they weren’t just chapters, but different throughout the chapters. Different “voices”, but didn’t changed male or female within the “voice.” Anyway, well done and believable! I loved it!

Here is my book review: We have Max’s beautiful story! I absolutely loved this book! The 3rd book in a gorgeous series that took me for a ride! The characters were strong and complete! The side characters’ journeys were enjoyable and filled in the empty spots nicely! Max and Sloan had to work out a lot of their own issues. And the author’s writing made it worth watching their paths come together! Enjoy!

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for this book, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

It was so nice to finally get Max and Sloane’s story!! They have a lot of painful moments from their past to overcome and their forced proximity complicates everything. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but I think you will be satisfied with this!

I love that each of the “sons of scandal” have been dealt a bad hand, but despite their past and scandalous legacy, they each find ways to overcome it and move on.

Huge thank you to Becky Wade and NetGalley for the opportunity to enjoy this audiobook!

This story was Max and Sloane's second chance romance. It was an okay book for me. Sadly, I didn't feel much chemistry between our two characters and maybe I wasn't as into the story because I hadn't read the first two books in the series, I'm not sure. I really enjoyed Ivy's character and her story about finding her birth father - to me, she was the hit of the book! The audiobook was well narrated with different voices for each character.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and you know what that means… another sweet romance in the Sons of Scandal series will be released and that is…Uneasy Street… Book 3!!! The last in the series 😭 I’ve loved these books… getting to know these band of brothers and all the extra characters has been pure comfort.

You have…
Ex Friends/Ex Business Partners
Enemies to lovers

Please 🙏🏼 Read these books in order. It makes the reading experience that much more enjoyable! As the third and final book it was great to revisit the characters I’ve gotten to know. There was a lot going on with the plot in this one and I wish some areas got more attention. I really enjoy how Becky weaves characters and creative storylines which has me really excited to see what she creates next.

Thank you Becky Wade and Netgalley for an early audio copy!

Uneasy Street by Beck Wade is brilliant, charming, and refreshing! Max and Sloane have some of the best literary banter available! They are both so intelligent and witty and they play perfectly off one another. Max is the third brother in the Sons of Scandal series, so there is plenty of catching up with the other brothers and all the characters you have come to know and love. Aside from Max and Sloane, there are mysteries to be solved that tie in perfectly to the rest of the story. Beyond the enemy to lover dynamic, there is such a strong theme of redemption and forgiveness woven throughout. Wade brings her characteristic humor to balance out the heaviness and it makes it smoothly perfect. I experienced the full gamut of emotions and loved every moment of every page. Ivy and the rats were a pure delight as well and such a perfect buffer for Max and Sloane. The coastal descriptions kept me engaged and allowed me to experience the story. Not only did I love reading the book, I had the additional privilege of listening to the audiobook as well. The dual narrators were prefect for bringing this story to life.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

Becky Wade has such a knack for drawing me in from the first line. Her writing is vividly descriptive and the characters walk onto the page in 3D.

Uneasy Street the the third and final book in the Sons of Scandal series. They are best read in order (Memory Lane, Rocky Road, and Uneasy Street.)

The series follows three brothers as they each learn how to cope with their families scandal in their own ways. Uneasy Street wrapped it all up perfectly.

The narrators voices were strong and expressive. I really liked the female narrator as Sloane. I could picture her sounding just like that.

Sloane’s character intrigued me. I’ve never read about a character so enthralled with proper etiquette before and it made for quite the unique read. As she put it, “𝚆𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚐𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎, 𝚊𝚗𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚜 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚎.” Her business, My Fair Lady, sounds very interesting!

I loved Ivy! Her character won me over very quickly and I adored every scene that she was prominent in! Her weird obsession with rats had me highly amused. I loved Ivy’s relationship with Sloane 🥹 It was so touching how sweet and patient Sloane was with her, especially with helping Ivy to locate her birth father. Hearing Harper’s story literally had me tearing up 😢

Max was…not a favorite of mine at all. Honestly, I could hardly stand the guy for some reason. He was very off-putting and overall obnoxious. When I heard how everything went down with Libri, I knew that I for sure did not like Max. He was sweet with Ivy, but that’s about all the good I have to say about him.

Don’t even get me started on Fiona, Isobel, and Nicole 🤦🏻‍♀️ What even?! The more I learned, the more horrified I became! Nothing there was remotely okay and I was so disgusted. I was not a fan of all the mentions of divorce, remarriage, and cheating in this book.

The missing tiara plot line felt completely unnecessary and didn’t add anything to the story.

Top Moments:

⛵️ My Fair Lady
⛵️ Mouse debacle

⛵️ Finding Anna

Overall, I did not enjoy the writing style in this book. Beings as this was my first Becky Wade book, I’ll probably give her one more try before I call it quits, but it’s safe to say I was less than impressed. So much of the story fell flat for me because of the way things were written.

I listened to this as an audiobook and I was not a fan of the narrators, especially the male narrator. His voice was very monotonous and not great for this story at all. I tried to judge the book according to the plot and not the bad narrators.

I received a complimentary alc of this book from Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op. All opinions listed are purely my own.

Becky Wade is a phenomenal writer. I didn’t realize when I requested this book that it was part of a series. However, her writing is so superb that you could understand the storyline without having read the first two books. Uneasy Street deals with some heavy topics in such a graceful and realistic way. I absolutely loved all the characters both main and side characters. Can’t wait to read more of her stuff

Uneasy Street is the sixth book I have read written by Becky Wade. This is book three in the Sons of Scandal series. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. I could not put the book down.

The character development was great. I loved getting to pull back the layers of Sloane as she dealt with her past. Getting to know Max more was fun. I enjoyed the overlapping characters in this series.

The setting and storyline were good. I loved being back in small town Maine. The storyline was great. I loved that we got to revisit other characters from the series and ‘catch up’ on their life. I also liked the dynamic of trying to help Ivy find her biological family. It cave a fun dynamic to the story.

The romance element was perfect. The friends to enemies to lovers was perfect. I loved the different dynamics that Sloane and Max’s relationship went through. I appreciated the closed-door element.

Becky Wade did a good job incorporating faith throughout the book.

*I received a complimentary copy from the author and voluntarily chose to review it. All opinions are my own.



The rekindled romance was perfect. I loved getting to see them see each other from a different light and getting to fall back in love. I loved that it was nothing over the top and just the perfect level of spice for this no/low spice girl.

Betsy St. Amant did a great job intertwining faith throughout the book.
