Fresh off being named Citizen magazine’s Man of the Year, New York City’s youngest mayor, Robert Davenport, decides it’s time to strategize. Next move: a bid for the governor’s seat. In his way: an incumbent with a flawless reputation. He also has an Achilles’ heel: an estranged wild-child daughter with a past so scandalous it could be Robert’s ticket to victory. And a charm so irresistible it could be Robert’s downfall.
Rebellion is a thing of the past for Adeline Blake. As New York’s premier event planner, she’s all about reform and respectability. Then she’s approached by Robert to organize the party of the season. Curious, considering he’s her father’s most formidable opponent. And alarming, too. Because Addie can’t help but fall for the righteously popular candidate with the movie-star smile.
Now it’s Robert’s choice. Does he pursue a future that holds his legacy? Or the woman who holds his heart?

LL has hit it out of the park again with a refreshing new series!
It's 2020 and by this point I've read almost all of Lauren Layne's works including her backlist, and the reason I continue love her writing is that each book of hers is so different with unique characters! None of them are the same!
In Yours In Scandal we've got Robert Davenport, NYC's youngest mayor and Citizen magazine's man of the year, who is planning to run for governor! He meets Adeline Blake, who is an event planner and the current governor's daughter after his campaign manager ferrets out her identity. She has a bit of wild history and she has moved on from her past and re-created her identity.
Not knowing this, Robert thinks that while getting her to plan his event, he might be able to find out some secrets that might help him win the race. Addie just wants to do her job and not have her past re-surfacing back again. But what will they do when they find themselves attracted to each other as they spend more time together?
I loved Addie and Robert in this one! They start off with hiding stuff from each other, but their connection slowly develops into a beautiful relationship! And thankfully there wasn't much angst in the relationship area and I loved the fact that this one was steamy! I was missing the usual LL steam as the Central Park Pact series was pretty tame, so this one made up for it!😉
There's also a little bit of a forbidden feel to their relationship at first because of his career and her past, so that was delicious too! Plus, this was a little on the lighter side which just a touch of politics, but not too much to overwhelm the reader!
This one ticked all of my boxes for a satisfying Contemporary Romance so I'd definitely recommend this book if you're looking for something light, steamy and cute with well development characters! Can't wait for the next in the series!
