Review: Uneasy Street by Becky Wade

About the Book

Christy Award Hall of Fame Author

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, Max is a rich CEO. Sloane’s a not-so-rich etiquette expert who returns to Maine to serve as her niece’s temporary guardian and help the girl search for her birth father. Sloane and her niece move into a darling garage apartment but Sloane’s joy in their accommodations soon turns to horror when she realizes their apartment belongs to Max. Thanks to an unbreakable lease, she’s stuck living right next door to him.

Max pulled strings to bring Sloane into his orbit because he needs closure on what went wrong between them. Quickly, though, his scheming comes back to bite him. The world might view him as a cold-hearted rake, but this one woman has dangerous power over his emotions.

They’ll have no choice but to confront their history—and the undeniable spark between them—while living side by side on uneasy street.

Discover witty humor, rich emotion, banter, and charm within the pages of this sweet enemies-to-lovers romance!

MY THOUGHTS

I had ridiculously high expectations for this book. I loved the first two in the series and have been so eager for Max’s story. Y’all! This book exceeded all of my ridiculously high expectations! I loved it so much!

Max and Sloan have history. A complicated past. Things did not end well between these former friends and business partners. They’re back in each other’s lives now that Sloane is in Groomsport looking after her teenage niece Ivy. While her niece’s parents are away, they rented a garage apartment for Sloane and Ivy to stay in. The garage apartment on Max’s property! Sparks fly from the very beginning, and I was so there for it! Their banter was great! They had me laughing and smiling all throughout the book.

Ivy was a very likable character. Even though she could be a bit impulsive at times, she had a good head on her shoulders. I loved the supportive and loving bond between her and Sloane. And I was very intrigued by the mystery of trying to find her biological father.

I was glad to get closure to Fiona’s story. I was rooting for things to work out for her.

I also enjoyed the mystery behind the missing tiara.

This was such a great second chance, enemies to more romance. I can’t recommend it highly enough. I’d definitely recommend reading the series in order, though. While Max and Sloane’s romance stands alone, there are threads from the first two books that are tied up here.

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
