A jilted bride. Her brother’s ex-buddy. A fake affair would be crazy…right?
Chloe Kingston’s life is exactly how she needs it: safe and stable. Right up until her reliable, low-risk fiancé jilts her on their fairy-tale wedding day. As she works her way through the reception champagne—and wonders where she’s going to live—she stumbles into her brother Linc’s ex-best friend.
If only Beckett Daniels were hideous. But he’s not. He’s everything her erstwhile groom was not. Hot. Sexy. Dangerous. And she’s just buzzed enough to want all that Greek-god gorgeousness to show her the kind of fun she’s been missing.
Beck thrives on calculated risks, but taking advantage of Linc’s little sister isn’t one of them. What he can do is haul her tipsy, tulle-clad, tempting little butt to the bridal suite to sleep it off. Then move her into his spare room—which has the satisfying side effect of driving her brother crazy.
They can’t remain platonic roommates for long. Not when the sexual attraction sizzles out of control. But when tragedy threatens Beck, pain from his past reminds them both that life doesn’t come without risks…and this time, they’re gambling with their hearts.

Just One Scandal by Carly PhillipsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love Chloe. She is ready to get married but receives an unbelievable text from her now ex-fiancé telling her he found someone else. So she does the best thing she can, have a fabulous non-wedding party since everything for the reception is ready to go. Crossing paths with Beck is pure chance but becomes fate leading this couple together. Beck gets captured by Chloe’s spirit while at her lowest point. When she needs a place to stay, he doesn’t hesitate to offer. There is a catch, since Beck used to be Linc, Chloe’s brother, best friend but now they are enemies. Chloe doesn’t let this stop her. She knows she needs time to regroup without her family's pitying looks so she grabs onto Beck’s offer. The chemistry for these two comes naturally and for Chloe, it’s Beck’s unwavering support as she works to fight her fears to pursue her dreams that seals the deal. But Beck is afraid to love anyone after losing his sister at a young age. Will he let Chloe walk away instead of risking his heart? I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
