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.

Summary
**Uneasy Street** by Becky Wade delivers a satisfying conclusion to the *Sons of Scandal* series. With so many moving pieces, Wade masterfully ties everything together for a great ending. While this book can be enjoyed as a standalone—focusing on the compelling storyline between Max, Sloane, and her niece Ivy—readers familiar with the series might get more out of Fiona and her sister’s arc. Longtime fans will also appreciate the cameos from Jude and Jeremiah, Max’s half-brothers.
One of my favorite aspects of this book was learning about etiquette through Sloane. The secondary storyline involving her and Ivy was heartwarming, and Ivy’s role in Sloane and Max’s relationship mishaps added an extra layer of charm.
Max and Sloane had been best friends and business partners for years—until everything fell apart. Now, four years later, their paths cross again, forcing them to confront old wounds and unresolved feelings.
I absolutely loved Max. Sure, there were moments when he frustrated me, but his confidence, humor, and water-related escapades won me over. Sloane, on the other hand, made me appreciate my own family even more, and I adored her fascination with Princess Kate.
I devoured this book in under 36 hours… and honestly, it only took that long because my husband invited friends over for the Super Bowl!
