Max and Sloane met in college . Sloane never treated Max like the playboy he was. Instead she respected his business intellect . So much so that they go into business . The business is going incredibly well when Max stabs Sloane in the back and takes over her shares and kicks her out of the company ,
ax and Sloane haven’t spoken since then.


Until Sloane moves in for a few months to a rental with her teenage niece only to find out it’s Maxs rental . This story has it all . Parents who divorced who still want something from the other , bitterness , forgiveness , revenge and not just from max and Sloane . This story has a lot of side characters and story that only adds to the entire characters of Sloane and Max.


There is a lot of character building in this story and I enjoyed the journey . I did not like the rats and sided with Sloane on her feelings on her niece having them in the house .

I enjoyed this story on Max and Sloane and how misunderstandings and lack of communication turn into years of hurt and loneliness only to turn into something else .

Thank you to netgalley for a download in exchange for an unbiased review .

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.

This inspirational and clean novel was a wonderful conclusion to the Son of Scandal series. I really enjoyed the plot of friends to enemies to lovers. Many relationships were reconciled in this final book and there was closure to much heartache and pain. The author highlighted a value theme of forgiveness and how important it is to extend to others and also for ourselves.

Uneasy Street is the third and final book in the Sons of Scandal series by Becky Wade. Sloane owns a etiquette company and is in Maine to care for her niece while her parents are out of the country. Max is a wealthy entrepreneur who is the sole owner of a company that he and Sloane created together. Their complicated past unfolds over the course of the book and you learn why Sloane is so unhappy with Max and really wants nothing to do with him. Being a romance novel of course she starts to thaw towards him and work towards forgiveness.
This was my least favorite of the series and I had a hard time getting into the story. I wasn't able to really connect with either of the main characters and there were a lot of side stories that were detracting from the main romance arc. I didn't really find the characters overly likeable. I am glad I finished the series but probably wouldn't pick it up again.

I have read every Becky Wade book since My Stubborn Heart was published in 2012 and my book club got a sample copy. I didn't like romance books before reading Becky Wade, but her books aren't just romance, they have faith elements, mystery, and incorporate a lot of interesting places, careers, and other elements. Uneasy Street was my favorite of the current series. Maybe that's because I find bad boys interesting, especially if they are reformed bad boys. And Max is definitely a reformed bad boy.

Both Max and Sloane are battling their pasts in different ways--their past together and their individual pasts before they knew each other. Seeing them work out their demons is interesting, and I always love it when Becky throws in a mystery or two. The book was thoroughly enjoyable and a satisfying conclusion to the Sons of Scandal series. Not only do Max and Sloane find closure in the end, but so do some side characters that have been in all three books. That's all I'm going to say about that, since anything more would be giving away big spoilers.

Even if you think most romances are cheesy and dumb, go read this book or anything by Becky Wade. You just might be surprised and want to give contemporary Christian romance another chance.

This is Max's story. The half brother of Jeremiah and Jonah Camden who has lived a life full of something to prove and no small amount of bitterness.
This is also Sloane's story. Someone who was once Max's close friend. The co-founder to his very successful business. Until she wasn't. And now she wants nothing to do with him. And has kept it that way for many years.
But Max, a son of scandal, is used to fighting for everything he wants. And he wants Sloane to explain.
There is also Ivy, Sloane's niece. She is a 15 year old, wise for her years, that has a mission she wants to accomplish. And who better to help her do that then her loving Aunt Sloane and Max?
While the two of them, who just can't say no to Ivy, help Ivy with her mission they two begin to remember the friendship that they had and work to become friends and maybe more again.
I have enjoyed each Sons of Scandal book. And I love that while all 3 books are linked in various ways each book is distinctly its own.
Max and Sloane's story is one where each of them has to forgive the past hurts if they want to move forward as individuals or with anyone else.
I definitely enjoyed this final book in the series and have already told friends it is a must read!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher and am leaving an honest review of what I thought about the book. Yeah, its good!

The story of Max and Sloane. She is stuck living in the apartment over his garage after she agrees to move back to town to look after her niece over the summer. He says he wants closure, but what is he really after? I liked how it was told from both points of view.

4.5 stars

Whew! Normally I am a friends-to-more kinda gal rather than enemies-to-love. BUT with Becky Wade at the helm of Uneasy Street, these two friends who became enemies have some smokin’ hot chemistry that made me an instant fan!

I’ve been eager for Max’s story since first meeting him on the pages of this series – talk about complicated family dynamics. He’s definitely the edgier of the three sons of scandal (and the one with the most right to be bitter) but I knew Becky Wade would give me layers of depth beyond those bad boy vibes… and I was right. Yes, he’s a bit of an arrogant jerk toward Sloane for part of this novel – definitely channeling Mr. Darcy – but it makes sense with his history and their history, and he redeems himself quite sweetly (and swoonily) in the end. And in the meantime, that simmering need to set Sloane off-kilter in order to find the closure he needs makes for some sizzling tension that proves there’s a fine line between hate and love after all.

Sloane cracked me up at first with her buttoned-up, ‘aspirationally dressed’, Princess Kate idolizing, rodent-squeamish, etiquette-teaching self. Especially when seen in contrast to Max’s much more casual personality. But as we delve deeper into her backstory, we see the painful reasons she gravitates toward order and manners and, while her adorableness still made me smile, it also made me really sad for her. Just like with Max, there’s more depth to Sloane than first meets the eye and we end up with two broken souls who may just be the ‘home’ they’ve each been chasing their whole lives. Oh how I loved that tender part of their story, even as we’re treated to fun banter and sparks a’plenty (of both the loathing and loving kind) between them.

And then there’s Ivy, Sloane’s gregarious 15-year-old niece who’s looking for the missing pieces to her own story and has also fully embraced being a ‘rat mom’. (I gotta say, I’m with Sloane on Ivy’s rats though. Shudder. The things we aunts do for our beloved nieces & nephews lol) I loved Ivy’s journey that made for not only a satisfying subplot but also gave Max and Sloane believable reasons to be forced to spend time together. (I’m putting in my official request now to have a Becky Wade story featuring a grown-up Ivy one day!) She’s not the only family member who plays a critical role in the subplots of Uneasy Street, either. Sloane’s father and Max’s mother also create challenges (separately) in this story, and of course there’s Felix and Fiona and Isobel who are the very definition of complicated. Each of these elements make Uneasy Street so much more than ‘just’ the delicious romance that it is while also adding context and emotion and obstacles that make the swoon factor all the swoonier in the long run.

Bottom Line: Uneasy Street by Becky Wade delights readers with layered characters, wit, heart, family, and ‘find-me-some-oxygen’ kisses! I loved falling in love with Sloane and Max, two former friends who became enemies, as their eyes are opened to their real feelings for each other. Cue those breath-stealing kisses I just mentioned! Wade is such a master at creating sizzling romantic tension that remains respectful, and this skill is in top form with Sloane and Max. Not only that, but she uses their story – and their complicated family dynamics – to explore forgiveness and loving people even when it’s not reciprocated. I also appreciated that, while Wade provides resolution in this final book of the trilogy for several different family-relationship threads (including some we’ve been following since the first book), that resolution isn’t always tidy or ideal. Another highly-entertaining Becky Wade story from beginning to end!

(I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book)

I enjoyed getting to know Max and absolutely loved Sloane. Uneasy Street is a great conclusion to the Sons of Scandal series and ties up the family story and the characters’ lives with a big beautiful bow. Also, I may have teared up at the end during a very special moment that reminds us ladies of our worth as daughters of the King. This was a great read!

Thank you to the Becky Wade, Victory Editing, and NetGalley for an early review copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

I read Uneasy Street through NetGalley, and as soon as it was released, listened to the audio through Hoopla through my local library. I loved both versions - the written and the audio. I have enjoyed the Sons of Scandal series so much, and am sad to see it come to an end. I really enjoyed experiencing Max and Sloane's story. I am a re-reader, and have read the books in this series more than one, but will now reread the entire series again. Yes, I liked it that much. I love Becky Wade's writing style, her humor, and the sweet romance; her stories just flow and each new one becomes my new favorite.

3⭐️ My least favorite in this series. I never connected to the characters or the story. It was boring. And too many things were going on. The missing crown, finding the birth father, then finding the long lost twin, then a side of romance, then Fiona reconciling with her sister, Fiona’s own love life, so many things going on! It overshadowed the main relationship in this one. Although I will say, after 3 whole books, I was glad for Fiona’s happily ever after. I also liked all the forgiveness happening.

But even with all of those different parts of the plot, the plot still lacked. I think there were too many aspects thrown in, which led them to be underdeveloped. You’d think the crown would have played a larger part, but it maybe took up a chapter as a whole. I think that the author could have ran with that for the whole plot but didn’t. Like I said, there was no main focus and too many things going on

The characters themselves, I did not love. Max’s behavior was yuck. Taking out multiple women after kissing Sloane? But he didn’t kiss them! I say sarcastically. Who cares. I hated that. Just because he wanted to prove he didn’t love Sloane. Such low life behavior.

Sloane was okay. She had a right to be wary and hateful towards Max. I would have too. And in my opinion he never earned her love. For the 5 seconds that Nate was in the book, I much preferred him over Max. Too bad. Ugh and their chemistry was so forced. It just wasn’t a relationship that made sense. I don’t know. This story seemed unfinished yet so much was going on. Kind of a disappointing ending to a series I really liked before going into this one.

I enjoyed the last book in this series so much! I loved Sloane and her relationship with her niece. I liked Max, but felt like he wasn’t as likeable as Jeremiah and Jude, maybe it was the playboy aspect of him. But overall it was a great story.

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.

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

Uneasy Street is the third and final story in Becky Wade’s Sons of Scandal series. I have to say this was my least favourite of the three. I found the conflict between Max and Sloane to be frustrating (even though it was also completely understandable).

The story didn’t really pick up until a couple of twists hit around the halfway point. The setup is simple: Sloane has offered to care for her teenage niece while Ivy’s parents are working overseas for a few months. They have rented out their house but want Ivy to continue going to her regular school, so have rented an apartment for Sloane and Ivy … an apartment owned by Sloane’s college friend and one-time business partner, Max.

Max may not be a full-on billionaire, but he has all the toys including the private jet (are you really even a billionaire if you don’t have access to a private jet?). But Uneasy Street wasn’t the regular billionaire-meets-poor-girl romance, because Max and Sloane were both involved in the app’s establishment which means Sloane should be as rich as Max, but isn’t. But that isn’t what she resents.

I didn’t exactly like Sloane at first but I did admire her. She resented Max for having pushed her out of Libri, the digital library app they founded in college, not for the millions and millions he’d earned since pushing her out. I did appreciate that Max and Sloan covered off the misunderstanding behind their falling-out fairly early in the book, so the story wasn’t bogged down by that mystery.

Sloan is an etiquette expert whose muse is “Princess Kate” aka the Princess of Wales. This did mean she came across as a bit prissy and perhaps false, because there were times when her manners felt more like how she behaved rather than who she was. I did enjoy the banter between Sloane and Max, especially when she forgot her etiquette and told him what she really felt.

My favourite character was Ivy, who wasn’t afraid to tell it how she saw it, and who had the typical teenage enthusiasm (and occasional thoughtlessness).

Thanks to the author and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.

A great read filled with humour and serious times. Twists and turns I wasn’t expecting with a great ending.

Absolutely loved this book! I enjoyed the first two of this series as well, so it was fun to see the updates from those main characters in here too. As a birth mom in open adoption, I was THRILLED to see an open adoption storyline! It is so rare to find a positive open adoption relationship in fiction books, and to see a beautiful and supportive relationship between Sloane, her niece (her sister's daughter, who was placed in adoption), and the adoptive parents was a joy. It reminded me a lot of my relationship with my own birth daughter. I also enjoyed the mystery of finding about more biological family, what happened years ago, and appreciated sharing that the reality of reunion can lead to more questions and feelings.

I enjoyed the balance of Sloane's family dynamics and the romantic storyline. It was a friends, to enemies, to lovers trope and that was a fun ride. There was also some redeeming and growth with other side character's from the other series along the way!

Brilliant conclusion to the Sons of Scandal trilogy. Loved Sloane's character, her interest in etiquette was so unique that it made her character fresh and interesting. I enjoyed following her niece's search and how that impacted her relationship with her dad. I found the romance to be sweet and loved how we caught up with the other brothers. I also appreciated the brothers mum's storyline and following that.

Another great book by Becky Wade.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley UK for a free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great conclusion to this series. I loved seeing the story of the 3rd brother (Max) and it to be a second chance story with a woman he worked with years ago. I also loved the adoption story of her niece where she walked through finding her biological father along with continuing the quest to find any other members of her biological family. While this book can stand alone, I think the other perspectives, particularly Fiona, benefit from you having the history of the previous books in the series. The reconciliation plot with her sister and the ways she needed to confront the ways she was thinking about the woman who hurt her in a similar way.

The third instalment of Becky Wade’s Sons of Scandal is out now and I’m here to tell you to add this book to your TBR. The book was charming, lighthearted and the Maine food references had me drooling!
The story follows former friends and business partners who are not sure how to act around each other as they are forced into close proximity. Sloane Madison unknowingly rents a cute garage apartment from her former business partner and nemesis, Max Cirillo while she cares for her niece. Max has strategically brought Sloane closer to him because he feels they have some unfinished business. But can they both forgive each other for what they each did several years ago?

This one was so sweet! I loved the various plots and pacing! The Christian themes were so well written! i really enjoyed this one!
thank you to the author for my early copy!
