Love, Lies and Scandal

by Earl Sewell

It's no wonder Angela Rivers feels satisfied—maybe a little too satisfied—with her life. Married to handsome congressman Will, with a successful career as an investigative reporter turned talk-show host, Angela has everything under control. Then a tape surfaces of Will having sex with an underage girl. Suddenly, Will is in jail, Angela is broke and jobless, and their marriage is over.

Humiliated to be in the middle of a media firestorm after turning the spotlight on others for so long, Angela flees California for Chicago. There, with the support of her friend Regina, she begins to get her career back on track. Dating is the furthest thing from her mind—until she meets marathon coach Jesse, who's also piecing his life together after a breakup. In spite of their wariness, and the problems caused by Jesse's teenage daughter, the attraction blossoms. And when Will returns, vengeful after losing everything, Angela must find a way to defend her good name, her reputation and the unexpected love that has come to mean so much.…

Jesse and Joanne. I knew from the beginning she would mess up that relationship, I am happy he was able to trust again. Will got everything he deserved, I was hoping he would change as well as Joanne, but I guess some people just do not learn. Would have liked a happier ending with a little more closure. All in all it was a good book.

I love this book, had to blog about it (check it out lbsabotage.blogspot.com). The story was written really well I like how Will go what he deserves at the end and the main character finds love after all. I definitely would read this again!

That you really never knows a person. Some people live to be deceitful.

I think it took me entirely too long to read this book. I liked the story line, but the characters really ticked me off. I don't know what it was.
