Expecting a Scandal

Whenever I pick up a book by Ms Rock, I know it will be worth my time, and this one , exceeded my expectations. Be aware that it’s part of a series, but it’s truly a stand alone. I for one, have not read the previous stories and had no problems with it. This one gives us Abigail Stewart and Dr Vaughn Chambers. Abigail, an artist, is pregnant from a one night stand when she was most vulnerable and the man she spent the night with, was an impostor. Now, about to be foreclosed on her home, , she desperately needs to be awarded the commission of an art piece for the Royal Memorial Hospital. Not only for monetary reasons, but also as a way to honor her deceased sister. Vaughn , a doctor at Royal Memorial has his own demons to fight. He came back from serving as an Army physician , with PTSD. Thanks to his service dog, Ruby, he is able to function, but remains removed from socializing with others. Somehow , these two develop a friendship , and as the relationship deepens, Vaughn fears he will never be good enough for Abigail. The story is at times heartbreaking. A reminder that many of those that serve to keep us and the troops safe, frequently suffer not only physical wounds but also psychological ones. We need to support these brave men and women. Another engaging, heartbreaking but also heartwarming romance by this talented author. I was gifted this copy. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Awesome book this is the first time I'm reading this Altar and I'm enjoying it
