Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC publication for an honest review.

When I received this ARC, I noticed it was part of a series (the other books were on my TBR list) so I went ahead and read those first. i am so glad I did because this whole series is a true gem. While you could read "Uneasy Street" as a standalone, you will get a deeper appreciation by starting from book one.

The series focuses on three brothers, and this last one is centered on the illegitimate half-brother, Max. This book is a friends (enemies) to something more/second chance, I adored our couple Sloane and Max and their complicated, slow burn love story. But even more epic was all the storylines that were filled with forgiveness, healing and so much grace! Not just with our main duo but many of the side characters as well.

Speaking of side characters, I loved Ivy! What a pure heart and such a mature soul for a teenager. It would be interesting to see a book focused on her down the road...

This was a perfect addition and a nice ending to this series.

Another fun read from Becky Wade!
Best book in this series that I've come to love!
I was so excited to see this that I found myself hoping to get it. I was happy when I got it!
Wonder characters that I loved in getting to know along with some heartfelt moments that made this a feel good story.
I really didn't want this book to end. It was so good!
This is the third and final book of this series.
I hated to say goodbye to Max and Sloane. I felt like they became my friends by the time their story ended. I'm still thinking about them.
5 stars for a fun and delightful novel. I highly recommend it.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

I’ve enjoyed many of Becky’s books and anticipated the finale to this series. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite my cup of tea.

I liked Max’s character in the first two books, but I didn’t get him and Sloane as a couple. They didn’t mesh for me. Especially with their respective faith relationships. Sloane has a Christian worldview, but I never got that outlook from Max until the 70% mark after he was trying to prove to Sloane that he was different. He showed up at church and announced he’d been a Christian for years. But there was no personal faith beliefs or fruit in his POV.

There were some lovely moments of getting to revisit Jeremiah and Jude and Gemma and Remy. I loved the plot tie ups we got, even if I never got to the point of liking Fiona.

In terms of faith content, forgiveness is the main overreaching theme.

Like I said, not my cup of tea personally, and I know there are other readers who will love it!

Content: innuendo; mention of libido; man has a playboy lifestyle; a man struggles with gambling; teen pregnancy out of wedlock;

What an incredible ending to a fantastic series! This book is the story of Max, Felix Camden’s third son, but as so many other character stories woven into like Sloane, Ivy, and Fiona. It possesses wonderful characters with stories that you lose yourself in which finds you internally dialoguing with characters and emphasizing with them. Max’s character has always been portrayed as handsome and broody- insert swoon- and we learn the depth and character that is behind that exterior. It made me love his character even more!

I was constantly reminded while reading this book that God is always there even when we do not feel he is. His grace is abundant and His timing is always perfect.

I absolutely loved this series and devoured these books! I hated to see this book end. While this book does a great job of putting the finishing touches on all the brother’s stories, I hope we get to catch up with all the characters in future books.

I was both happy and sad to finish the last of the Sons of Scandal series by Becky Wade. I've been looking forward to Max's story since the series began and was pleased at how it all unfolded. The only disappointment is that the series is over. I'm already rooting for a reboot with Sloane's niece, Ivy, as our next-gen heroine!

Thank you to Net Galley, the author, and the publisher for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

Becky Wade just keeps getting better and better! Her books are so engaging and I really can't get enough of them! The family in the Sons of Scandal series is just amazing and it was so much fun to read about all of them again. I loved finally getting Max and Sloan's story and getting a great and satisfying conclusion to every one's romances in this series. I especially loved Ivy and her adoption story.

I alternated between reading and listening to the audio book. The narrator was just perfect!

Many thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed Becky Wade’s Sons of Scandal series, and Uneasy Street was a sweet, romantic ending. The subplots in this story were tied in nicely to the main story; each one complemented the other. Max and Sloane were both relatable, despite the fact that I’m not a billionaire nor an etiquette connoisseur, but I enjoyed getting to know them better. It was also great to see other characters from this series again. If you enjoy contemporary romance, definitely add Becky’s books to your TBR! 4/5 stars


I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I just love Becky Wade’s contemporary romances. Her characters are always so well done! Max and Sloane have so much baggage but oh man, I just wanted them to get their second chance! Uneasy Street is truly both enemies to lovers and a second chance romance, though they were never a couple before, the pain of best friends having a falling out certainly qualifies. Both hurt the other deeply, not quite realizing just how much. I loved watching their bond slowly mend and love begin to grow. I loved the themes of forgiveness throughout.

Ivy was adorable. A fun change of pace to have a teenager so involved in the story and with a story of her own. I loved joining in on Ivy’s search for her birth father and beyond. And her two rats! 😆

I loved the closure both Sloane and Max got with their families. And the conclusion to Fiona’s story spanning all three books- so full of redemption and forgiveness. Seeing what the other couples were up to was icing on the cake. Sad to say goodbye to Maine and this series and very much looking forward to whatever Becky Wade has for us next!

I received a complementary copy of this book from the author via NetGalley. I was not asked for a positive review and my opinions are my own.

Wow that was so good and totally binge worthy! I loved Sloane and Max. They had amazing banter and chemistry! This was an amazing conclusion and it was fun to see Jeremiah and Jude sprinkled in through out the plot. I found the story to be swoony and I wanted to keep going and neglect all my chores! Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the advanced copy. All thoughts are my own!

I would give this book a ten if it was possible!!! This was the best Sons of Scandal book out of all three and that's saying something!

Mad and Sloane (and Ivy!!) what a wild wild ride. This book had so many layers and stories to it that all wrapped up beautifully. I just finished it and I'm still teary eyed. This is a 5+ tissue book for sure.

I particularly appreciated Becky's mention of faith and God. I noticed in several of her other books she had became more mainstream and I missed the faith aspect of it. I do wish Max had more of a faith arc in his story. Because just going to church doesn't make you a Christian. But other than that I loved it and I may have to read it again!!!

Etiquette expert Sloane Madison returns home to Maine to take care of her niece for the summer and help her search for her birth family, but her new landlord turns out to be her number one enemy: Max Cirillo. Sloane and Max used to be best friends and even started a business together, and then on one fateful day, their entire friendship and business relationship imploded. Max, who is now a rich CEO, is determined to figure out what caused the split between them, and as he discovers that his feelings for Sloane run deeper than he ever realized, he will do whatever it takes to win her heart.👑

Uneasy Street is the third and final book in Becky Wade’s Sons of Scandal series, and it was a delight to finally read Max’s story. Being a rakish playboy and a strait-laced etiquette expert, Max and Sloane had great chemistry and lots of banter. While this was a fun and sweet romance, it also didn’t shy away from covering some heavier topics, like familial death, abandonment/neglect, drug overdose, and adultery. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and this series, and I look forward to seeing what Becky writes next!🩷

A big thank you to Becky Wade for sending me an advanced ebook/audio copy of this book! All thoughts and opinions above are my own.📗

This was a really sweet closed door romance! The setting was great and I really loved the main characters and the romance was so cute!

Absolutely fabulous!!! What a darling heartfelt romance. The writing and this story made my heart so happy. It's the perfect kind of romance that's sweet and swoony with amazing characters, an entertaining storyline and delightful witty dialog. I loved the faith element and satisfying twist of mystery that kept me up way to late but so worth the loss of sleep! Definitely five star reading! This whole series is a must read!

Max’s story is finally here! I devoured Uneasy Street! Not only is it enemies to lovers filled with all the delicious banter, but it also weaves in a missing tiara & a wonderful adoption storyline with forgiveness & reconciling the past. Becky Wade wraps up this series in a great big bow & proves once again why she’s such an amazing writer, with endearing characters who feel so real.

Max Cirillo has a plan. He’s been waiting a long time to finally get Sloane Madison back in his orbit & find out what went wrong years ago when a misunderstanding led to estrangement. They had an amazing relationship where they could finish each other’s sentences & were always there for each other as friends & business partners. When Sloane returns to Maine, she unknowingly rents a garage apartment from Max who makes it his mission to get under her skin.

The struggling etiquette expert’s back in Maine to take temporary custody of her niece while her adoptive parents are out of the country. But while fifteen year old Ivy’s searching for her birth father, Sloan’s grappling with seeing Max again. While Sloane & Max work through their messy past, they also help Ivy find her missing father. With all the close proximity, & working together, their walls begin to crumble & the sizzling chemistry between them roars to life. But, can Sloane really trust Max with her heart?

I loved Max’s story! It was even more fulfilling than I imagined. It was nice to see the depth beyond his businessman, playboy image. Both he & Sloane are complicated characters with difficult pasts. They’re so perfect for each other, but had to get past the hurt & fears. Max also has his hands full trying to locate a missing tiara.

Ivy’s adoption story definitely tugged on my heartstrings. Her journey in meeting her father & discovering even more secrets had me eagerly turning the pages. She was a darling addition to the story. It was also fun seeing the other brothers again, & Fiona find closure with her storyline.

Highly recommend this book & the entire series! After finishing, I was immediately sad that this was the end. I’m hoping somewhere in the future we’ll get to see these characters again. I’m going to miss them! While Uneasy Street can be read as a standalone, it’s much better if you’ve read the previous books, as each story builds on the other. I received an advanced complimentary copy from the author. All opinions are my own & voluntarily provided.

I love Becky Wade's writing and I absolutely adored the first two books in this series. Book 2 was one of the best books I read last year (out of 125!). That being said, this book was a disappointment to me. Wade did such an amazing job creating a terrible male character that then I actually hated him and wanted him to go away and leave Sloane alone after giving her some of the millions of dollars he cheated her out of. Picture this: you move into a new apartment and there's no water. It turns out your landlord turns off the water every time he wants to talk to you. This is not a meet-cute, this is a situation where you get a lawyer, a restraining order, and you go stay with friends. Max is a manipulative jerk and thus it was impossible for me to root for the HEA for the main characters.

I did love the endings of Fiona and Ivy's stories--lovely side plots.

Thanks to the author and NetGalley for the advanced review copy--I look forward to Wade's next book and am crossing my fingers for no more enemies to lovers tropes.

Once upon a time Max Cirillo and Sloane Madison were close friends and business partners. But when their business relationship imploded, so did the friendship. Now, four years later, they’ll have no choice but to confront their history—and the undeniable spark between them.

Beneath the animosity was an underlying mutual attraction between them even though I wasn't that invested in it. Max also came out cocky and seemed to throw his money and status around. I found myself more drawn to the mystery of who Sloane's niece's birth father was. The missing tiara storyline also seemed unnecessary but the drama surrounding it was interesting.

I didn't like the audio for this. The male narrator had a text-to-speech kind of tone. The female narrator was just okay.

Thank you to Netgalley and Publisher for an ALC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a sweet, clean friends to more story. Sloan and Max knew each other throughout college and even started a business together but due to misunderstandings they were no longer business partners. I liked that the story had the misunderstandings up front. It wasn’t a you know what you did and then other character trying to figure out what had happened. Max continued to build the business into a very successful one while Sloan began an etiquette business of her own. The couple are forced together after years of not speaking when Sloan agrees to take care of her niece, Ivy, for the summer and they rent a house from Max. Max makes sure they are the ones to rent his house because he wants to make amends for the past and get to know Sloan again. While Max and Sloan work through their issues, a few side stories are going on. Ivy looking for her birth father, Max’s issues with his estranged father, his mother and other family members. This book is part of a series which I had not read but the characters can stand alone and are easy to follow.
It is a clean romance, no language or explicit scenes. There are mentions of God, church and forgiveness which I think adds to the story. It is a story I would recommend and I want to read the previous ones in the series.

I was given an advanced copy to read and review but all opinions and views are my own.

I really enjoyed this story. I enjoyed reading about the rest of the family as well. The slow build of the relationship between Max and Sloane was expected and enjoyed. The happily ever after was wonderful. I am so sad that this is the last book in this series since I enjoyed each one of the stories. I will eagerly want to read more books by this author.

This book was a new to me Author Becky Wade - and I will absolutely be reading more of her works. I have deed a few to my kindle unlimited. M

This series is a great story and intro to her writing. 3 men are related through their father. The first book of the series starts with the eldest brother Jeremiah. I highly recommend starting with that novel Memory Road then the second Rocky Road then Uneasy Street. The author states at the end this is the last of the series.

I also enjoy other characters are given the spotlight - The mom of the first women Fiona. She was so much fun.

They is. Great series to relax and enjoy a story.

Becky Wade always writes romance settings and characters unlike any other author. Her third book of Sons of Scandals didn't disappoint in ending this trilogy with deep main characters and a visit with those from earlier books.
Sloane has returned to Maine to be with her niece Ivy while her adopted parents are on a trip. She is shocked to find out that her landlord is her former business partner, and now enemy, Max Cirillo. Max is now very wealthy with the company they started, and he had left Sloan out of when company went public, Ivy wants to find her biological father and Max and Sloan put differences aside to help her. With a shared goal, they find that they are still a good team and maybe always felt more than business partners.
Wade also gives an ending to the storyline of characters from earlier books and resolves two light mysteries in this story. While there are multiple storylines, the book flows well.
I started this book reading on Kindle thanks to NetGalley for an ARC, but I finished it as an audible book. I enjoyed the narrators and recommend the audio book. All opinions are my own.
