Critic reviews

Praise for the Perfect Gentlemen Series

“Shayla Black and Lexi Blake never fail to heat up the page, and the Perfect Gentlemen series is no exception. Hot and edgy and laced with danger, the stories in the Perfect Gentlemen series are just that—perfect.”—J. Kenner, New York Times and international bestselling author of the Stark series

“While there are certainly incendiary sex scenes at the top of this series opener, the strength is in the underlying murder and political mystery. The teens who were supposed to be the ‘Perfect Gentlemen of Creighton Academy’ are now an appealing group of ultra-successful, powerful men who readers will absolutely adore.”—RT Book Reviews

TO ALL OF MY FOLLOWERS

I loved this book. It has just enough good hot sex, mystery, humor and HOT MEN to keep me listing from the word go. Bottom line if you have enjoyed many of the books I loved you will love this one. I think I'm going to listen again. I can't wait for book two. And though there is a bit of a cliffhanger it won't make you scream MOTHER$$&&(( ✌🏾️✌🏾✌🏾

My Review:
You know those big giant mystery romances that include cops but they play absolutely no role in solving it?
Their position comes across more as a footnote than anything else. Cops are involved but hey, we're billionaires lets solve this on our own anyway. Also not convinced of the Billionaire thing.
However I got more laughs out of Scandal Never Sleeps than I expected though because Gabe reminded me of a male dog who shoves his nose into someones crotch that can't be moved. He bit, he snarled, he threw tantrums, and sex was the only thing on his mind. Then there is poor Everly... the girl who can't say no.
Gabe starts sniffing and she can't wait to open wide - *Spoiler* Even when he acts up, even when he makes accusations, even though he thinks she slept with his best friend. Dammit they just couldn't resist, and those poor pathetic cops that kind of just disappeared behind all the paparazzi fell by the way side while they banded together with the rest of Gabe's friends to solve the mystery behind Mad's death.
Turns out Everly is more involved than they and even she first assumed and everything you thought you could avoid and knew from the beginning is turned on its head. Its that saying that your enemies are closer than you think defined and given a whole back story.
Just when you think you have it all solved there's a super cliff hanger ending letting you know the secrets don't just end with Everly or Mad.
Scandal Never Sleeps was funny, it was exciting, a little bit silly, a little bit childish, but toss in some passion and plenty of secrets and you have a fairly entertaining listen ahead of you.

Kaleo Griffith was good with the delivery of the story

Great suspense

I loved the whole story, my only complaint is, I wish their was also a female narrator. I don't like the sound of the male impersonating a female voice. The male voices were great!

loved it!

this book had a good mixture of romance and suspense. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Good story though this two are my favourite authors. I just don’t like their choice of the narrator this time. He is too slow and he lacks performance. I am just sad he narrates the whole series 🥲
