The Price of Scandal

A Bluewater Billionaires Romantic Comedy

By: Lucy Score

Narrated by: Natalie Duke, Stephen Dexter

He didn't kiss me back like a gentleman. No, Derek Price slammed my back into the front door. A beast off his leash.

Emily Stanton's perfect life just became a disaster. She has a trust fund brother looking for a handout, a father who is more board member than dad, and a mother who thinks she should give up on this whole billionaire CEO thing and meet a man with a pre-nup and a yacht.

Oh, and then there's that "misunderstanding" with law enforcement witnessed by Miami's paparazzi. Now her billion-dollar deal is on the line, and there's a naked man in her bathtub who claims he's going to make all her problems disappear.

Charming - and happy to bend the rules when necessary - Derek Price has made a living polishing the tarnished images of the rich and famous. He's never lost, and he never takes clients to bed. Until the dazzling Emily. Derek promised her a win and offered up a lifetime supply of orgasms as part of the deal. But if he can't stop her enemies, he'll end up losing much more than he bargained for.

Author Notes: An enemies-to-allies-to-lovers workplace romcom with a meet-nude, four lady billionaire BFFs, a hero whose many talents include styling hair and picking pockets, the best dang drag queen brunch in Miami, and a shameless romance novelist cameo.

Fabulous!

This was fantastic. Hands down. Derek Price is the most perfect catnip of a hero and the end involves some of the best comeuppance in a book ever. Two thumbs up and a double squee cannon salute!

Light, Fluffy and Fun

This book was very light even for a rom-com. It was however, a cute, fun and enjoyable listen.

The story has just enough mystery for you to follow that you didn’t see all of the end pieces all at once.

The male character was made British American for some reason but they opted to not go with a native British male narrator. HOWEVER Stephen Dexter did do a lovely job at it. His voice is very enjoyable to listen to.

Natalie Duke is the female on this book. I have mixed feelings on her but overall enjoyable performance.

A fun listen

This series of books is just so much fun to listen to. I love the camaraderie and friendship between these four women and watching the shenanigans that they get into together.

Nerds are cool!

Natalie Duke and Stephen Dexter once again bring Lucy Score's characters to life in the most charming of ways! Great narration!
Secret science nerd Emily Stanton is an ice princess. Calm, cool and in control as CEO of her Flawless skin care company, working 24/7 to prove her worth. Seamlessly running her high-powered corporate job, and the exclusive enclave she created along with her best friends. Unruffled, that is, until she encounters corporate fixer Derek Price. Forced to work together to fix her image after a little kerfuffle, Derek and Emily butt heads in the most delightful way with Lucy Score’s signature banter and snark. Watching the fiery Derek melt the icy Emily is one of the best things I’ve ever read! And as usual, there is a lovely cast of side characters that you’ll love and hate equally!

its really effing good

although I could tell who the main villian was early on the how and the lengths they went to surprised me and kept me interested. I love that the female protagonist was able to grow into her kicka**edness and she realized that her billions didn't equate to happiness and she went after her happy. there was a teaser for a sequel and I am waiting with baited breath for the next story. this is the 2nd book by Ms. Score that I have listened to this week (unknowingly) and I will be checking out her other offrings.
