Yours in Scandal was political without being specific. There was the idea of what is expected of a politician, but no real world issues were introduced.

It sounds like this author knows how to tackle important and heavy topics while still keeping everything funny and light hearted. That takes a lot of work! Similarly for Yours in Scandal, it is tricky to set a book in the political world and keep it light on the politics. Very impressive for both authors :DOlivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-48759661611504230342020-02-15T08:50:38.860-05:002020-02-15T08:50:38.860-05:00Lauren Layne is an auto-read for me.

I am loving the Bromance series. Adams surprised me by making me sort of like Liv after how much she annoyed me in the previous book, and Mack, I was already in love with him.

I swear, the two of them (mostly Liv) almost ruined that one for. And when I found out that the second book would be about Liv... *sigh* I decided to skip it. Even though I loved Braden. He was so funny. I’m intrigued about Braden’s back story but probably not enough to read it. Maybe I’ll get you to spoil it for me. :)Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-40317505945497492782020-02-11T06:31:04.909-05:002020-02-11T06:31:04.909-05:00Some members of the group are happily married, but...Some members of the group are happily married, but I think the Russian is unattached, and they could always bring in new members, like they did with GavinSamantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-17463410918291906892020-02-11T06:29:58.929-05:002020-02-11T06:29:58.929-05:00Wow!

I'm glad that you enjoyed this one, because I've had the same worry about Liv, since she wasn't the most likeable character in the first book, but I sure did love Braden! I'm definitely looking forward to more bromance, and am so glad you enjoyed this story so much! I'm glad you enjoyed Yours in Scandal as well. I've enjoyed Lauren Layne's books, and it's always such a great talent when an author can balance the heavy with light.
