Flirting with Scandal

Capital Confessions, Book 1

De: Chanel Cleeton

Narrado por: Lillian Claire, James McAdams

The author of I See London sets her sights on Washington, DC, with a sexy new series about three sisters, the secrets they keep, and a powerful blog with a knack for exposing scandals....

Jackie Gardner knows all about dirty little secrets. The illegitimate daughter of one of the most influential senators in Washington, DC, she grew up surrounded by the scandals and shadows of politics. Now that she’s landed an internship with a powerful political consulting firm, she’s determined to launch her career and take this city by storm.

William Andrew Clayton was born for politics. He knows the drill: work hard, play discreetly, and at all costs, avoid scandal. At 26, his campaign for the Virginia State Senate is the first step to cementing his future. It’s time for him to settle down, to find the perfect political spouse. He needs a Jackie Kennedy, not a Marilyn....

When Jackie meets Will in the bar of the Hay-Adams Hotel, sparks fly. But the last thing Will needs is to be caught in a compromising position, and an affair with a political candidate could cost Jackie her career. When what began as one steamy night becomes a passion neither one of them can walk way from, they must decide if what they have is really love, or just another dirty little secret....

Just okay

In liked this well enough. This was a quick read, i like the storyline a lot but wish there was more plot.

Enjoyed it. Great story. I would recommend to read

Enjoyed the story line. It was realistic and fun to read. I loved the characters.

Characters too young, immature, language ridiculous

I love this author’s historical fiction. Her books about Cuba are among my all time favorites. Unfortunately this hot and steamy novel was a big disappointment. Both main characters seemed immature and there was way too much discussion about the 5 year age difference (21 to 26) as a big deal, making him so much older and different from her (eye roll). The constant F-bombs were distracting. Almost stopped listening several times. I’ll stick with the historical fiction genre with this author. She nails that!

Not impressed!

Not impressed with the filthy, filthy, filthy opening. I deleted the book from my library. Terrible.

Great writer produces trash! Why?

Warning: Explicit review! I hope the censors allow my review because I am quoting from the book. After reading two of her other novels, "Next Year in Havana" and "Last Train to Key West" I was convinced this was the next great author for years to come. Then I read this garbage. If you enjoy reading page upon page of "Clit licking, "Pebbley Nipples" and "Cock grabbing," then have at it. This is impossible to get through. Makes you gag and want to take a shower. Way Way over the top.
What's sad about this book and apparently the two other books in the series is that Cleeton is a truly talented writer. I hope she finds a personal outlet for her horniness other than her pen.

Terrible

I would have never downloaded nor purchased this trash had I known. Nothing like one other novel, Next Year in Havana!

Vulgar language

Very predictable, very vulgar descriptions of sex scenes. Nothing like her other books in the Cuba saga smart and witty
