A review by amanda_hyland
Scandalized by Ivy Owens
4.0
I went into this book knowing nothing about it; I found it on Kindle Unlimited during a night of insomnia, and I swear, I didn't put it down until like 5 AM the following morning. Then, I Googled the author's name after finishing it, and realized "Ivy Owens" is actually a pseudonym for Lauren Billings, aka the "Lauren" half of the ICONIC romance writing duo, Christina Lauren! No wonder I absolutely devoured this book!
The story follows Gigi, an investigative journalist who reconnects with Alec, a childhood friend, after their flights are delayed in Seattle returning from London. There is an instant connection between the two -- but that is only the beginning of their whirlwind romance that will take you on a crazy-wild ride from beginning to end (can't say too much without spoiling).
Sure, the story is far-fetched and fantastical, but it's so damn well-written and compelling that you simply CANNOT put it down. The spice is top-tier, no notes. The banter was bantering. I loved it!
