(Book cover) Title: Just One Scandal, the Kingston family series Author: Carly Phillips, New York Times bestselling author
(Book review) >Love Shouldn't Be Safe< Love shouldn't be safe, a lesson she learns the hard way. It should make you feel safe, sure, but taking a risk is part of the fun. Before the epilogue, there was a sense of foreboding in 'Just One Night' that Chloe Kingston's wedding wasn't going to go as she expected. The fact that Beckett "Beck" Daniels would be the one to step in and save the day? π€π«£ I had my suspicions that this would be his way into the family. I can't say I'm angry about it. π -- Book quote 'She was a vision with her blond hair tumbling over her shoulders and the body of a goddess. He swallowed a low groan of desire just as she reached for the back hook of her bra.' -- Beck Daniels I love that Beck is a stand-up guy, even when he's a bit of a jerk. We get to see his soft side when it comes to his family and treasured employees, but we also see some of his illogical reactions to a couple of things. I think we all have a subject or two that causes us to throw all logic aside and act on fear, anger, or some other powerful emotion. For Chloe, I appreciate that she takes time to evaluate her life choices and course corrects. I love that she takes a few risks and finally starts doing what makes her happy. I like the turn that takes place between Linc and Beck. I also like that he recognizes what would've happened that fateful night had some roles been reversed. What I don't like, and I get that society struggles with the concept when it's a man, is that Linc was sexually assaulted, and no one is willing to say the tough words aloud. I love that Chloe's story is integrated with her brothers versus being a side story. Too often, the sisters of the series get second fiddle status. This is a step in the right direction. π This is a standalone, but at least reading book one in this series is my recommendation. There are a couple of Dare family members and friends that have cameo appearances or mentions, but reading those isn't reqβ¦
