Rocky Road by Becky Wade is the second of Sons of Scandal romance series. And it has proved to be such a fun story.
Jude Camden is a straight laced undercover FBI agent set on a mission to catch an illusive criminal by posing as Gemma's boyfriend. Gemma Clare at first is resistant to helping the FBI since they put her father in prison. But knowing her cousin was part of the reason, she agrees to cooperate. Then the fireworks begins.
Although it is against FBI regulations, Jude falls hard for the feisty red-headed Gemma. Even though they are so opposite. But their relationship is a slow burn, drawing Gemma in as well.
Becky Wade has such a way of taking you on this journey with humor, insight and a bit of mystery. Her dialogue pulls you into the story, with family interaction, a WWII mystery and faith realization. Although you do not need to read the first book, Memory Lane, it would help introduce you to some of the secondary characters. I did laugh out loud at some of the banter between Jude and Gemma and the ending held me on edge. I definitely loved this clean contemporary story. I look forward to learning about the next family relation in the series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary advanced e-copy of this book. All views expressed are my honest opinion
