Review: Scandal in Seattle (Great Exploitations #2) by Nicole Williams

Posted on 29 May, 2014 by Christine in Nicole Williams, Review / 0 comments

Revenge isn’t what the Eves are about. Justice is.

But when Sienna Stevens leaves Miami for her Errand in Seattle as Ally Andrews, revenge is the only thing on her mind. A woman scorned is one thing, but Ally is something else altogether. She will not rest until the man who upended her world is brought to his personal and financial knees. She won’t settle for just upending his world in return. She’s going for full-blown annihilation.

Ally’s barely in Seattle a day before complications arise. She begins making slips. She’s one error away from being pulled from the biggest Errand of her career when she comes face to face with Henry Callahan. Former lover. Current Target.

Things just went from complicated to catastrophic.

Christine’s 4 STAR Review!!!

It’s been a while since I read and reviewed book 1 – Mischief in Miami so let me refresh your memory a bit. This is a series of novellas by Nicole Williams centering around Eve, who works for a Company that women go to and hire to catch their rich spouses in compromising situations (aka cheating) thus resulting in divorce.

The last time we saw Eve, she was all business as usual until at the end of the book when she saw her ex boyfriend, the man who changed everything for her, and now in this installment she is in Seattle to catch her next errand (aka job) who happens to be said ex boyfriend!!!

Is revenge really so sweet and all its cracked up to be?

Henry Callahan is Eve’s rich and successful ex and their first meeting after so many years is painful on so many levels. Not only does it conjure up so many bad memories for Eve but the What Ifs and more importantly on a business level, if this is truly a wise decision to take on something so personal, shows the reader that Eve is in for more than she bargains for.

History, especially painful history, shapes who we are and how we behave in relationships and realizing how much Eve has changed to become so cold, calculating and uncaring is tough to swallow yet there is something beneath that facade, if she can only open her eyes and heart to recognize it for what it is…maybe there are feelings still present even after all of the hurt.

Eve will have her work cut out for her and with jealousy rearing its ugly had, will she be able to remain business as usual or will the personal aspects of heart and mind win?

Though Henry and Eve only had one encounter in this book, this was an exciting 2nd installment of the series, sexy as anything and scandalously delicious. Yes, these novellas are short and I wish that they were longer but I will continue to read as they are sexy and fun and I am definitely vested to see how it all plays out! I am a sucker for 2nd chance romance and I have hope that something good may come out from all of this in the end! <3

I’m the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of the CRASH series (HarperTeen, S&S UK), LOST & FOUND series, UP IN FLAMES (S&S UK), The EDEN TRILOGY, and a handful of others. I write stories about everyday kinds of people who find themselves in extraordinary kinds of situations. I tell love stories with happy endings because I believe in making the world a better place, and that’s one tiny way I can make it so. I’m one of those people who still believe in true love and soul mates, and would rather keep my head in the clouds any day over having my feet firmly on the ground.
