Publisher's summary

The Scandal is an all-new marriage of convenience, age-gap novel from New York Times best-selling author Kristen Proby, set in her Single in Seattle Series, featuring Stella McKenna!

Who knew that weddings in Vegas were the real deal? I certainly didn’t when I agreed to marry my coworker while on a bender in Sin City. Now, I need a quick annulment, which means I need an attorney, STAT.

Honestly, with a name like Grayson Sterling, Esquire, I expected an old man in a three-piece suit. But the guy behind the desk is anything but stuffy and old. Tall and sexy with tattoos and striking blue eyes, I simply can’t take my eyes off him, and I have no intention of declining his offer of a date…and more. So much more!

The conversation between us is good, and the man should win awards for his bedroom escapades. I find myself trusting him in ways I never thought I would—until he breaks that trust.

Gray insists he can fix it.

He claims he loves me.

But I don’t know if we can survive this.

Heroine too immature

The h was extremely childish multiple times in the book and particularly at the end. What if her family had not spoken to her about her decision? She would have just gone on believing this is the way adults handle things. Being open to have sex with an older man doest’t translate into mature adult. Hard to believe she was capable of starting a business if that’s how she handles her first relationship disagreement. It’s irrelevant who is correct. She just spontaneously combusted and turned her back on a whole relationship, because they disagreed. Shockingly, you can just agree to disagree.
Wish her character had been written more consistently. Showing more maturity in both her personal and professional life. Overall the story was good.

Love Stella & Gray

I loved, loved, loved Stella and Gray! The Scandal is the second book in the Single In Seattle series from Kristen Proby which is a spin off from the With Me In Seattle series. It’s all about the kids of the original characters now and reading the series is like having a catch up with old friends.

The story is funny and sweet with a nice dose of hot and spicy. There is a slight age gap between Stella and Gray which causes some disapproval from Stella’s father, but he soon realizes that Gray cares for Stella very much. There are plenty of fun side characters and conflicts between Stella and Gray are resolved fairly quickly.

It’s so great to catch up with the Montgomery clan and to find out what the next generation is doing to make their mark in the world. I’m really enjoying this new series and excellent narration with this new story.

Fun and easy listen

This is another book in the series that follows the next generation of the "With Me in Seattle" characters. An age gap, Vegas wedding gone wrong, insta-love story sounds like tropes that might not go together, but Kristen Proby weaves a romantic tale with plenty of heat and not too much drama into an easy and pleasant weekend listen. You will definitely recognize many of the side characters from previous books and enjoy revisiting the goings on in this huge family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and spouses, but it is not necessary to have ready any of them to enjoy this book on its own.

I love returning to the Seattle Universe!

Stella & Grey were absolutely everything!!
Normally, I'm not a huge fan of next generation books, but when this series kicked off, I couldn't resist returning to Kristen Proby's Seattle universe and now I cannot get enough! Returning to these characters, albeit years later, is just like coming home and I'm totally here for it!!

Another great addition to this series

I'm enjoying this series which is following the second generation of the couples from the With Me in Seattle series. We get to see the updates on the original couples plus their children now who are grown. Stella is Nate and Jules daughter and she meets Gray when she needs a lawyer to help her get a divorce from a quickie marriage to one of her friends. I'm not going to spoil the story with more details but this is really worth a credit. Emma Wilder and Lance Greenfield are wonderful narrators. I can't wait for the next book.

OBSESSED

This Single in Seattle series just keeps getting better and better! I seriously can’t get enough! And I obsessed seeing the OG characters throughout.

The Scandal is Stella and Gray. I freaking love Stella!!! So much of Jules in her from her strong and sassy personality, to her fierce protectiveness of her family. Grayson is just swoon 😍 an alpha Viking with an age gap. I’m done!

Kristen Proby has absolutely nailed this second gen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good story line

Another great story by this author. A fun night in Las Vegas results in an accidental marriage. Grey is a lawyer who helps Stella obtain her divorce from her best friend. Sparks fly between Stella and Grey. Fun and a few bumps in the road. Does it work out in the end? Read/listen to find out. 😊

Yet another great one!!

I love the With Me families! Come Away With Me was my first series book in this genre of reading I had ever read and needless to say, I was HOOKED!! I never want them to end!

Not what she expected

She definitely did not expect the man who would make her knees a little weaker and the breath halt in her lungs. He would give her the balance she needed and a man strong enough to help soothe her need to step out on her own. The Scandal has everything you could possibly imagine and Kristen Proby is a master at delivering characters that touch your heart.
