Unlucky 13 Book 10: Scandal by T. Ashleigh

 

Unlucky 13 Book 10

Welcome to Black Diamond Resort and Spa…

I come from a long line of con artists and crooks. 

In a family where money and power outweigh integrity, there’s only been one person I could always count on. My best friend, my other half, my twin; until he betrayed me. 

Thanks to his lies, both my family and the media are breathing down my neck, giving me no choice but to ‘seek help’ at some fancy rehab resort.

Whatever. 

I’ll do my time, go through the motions with this stupid five-step program, then wash my hands of this place and my past.

But why not have a good time while I’m here?

Specifically, with the mysterious man I feel a strong, undeniable pull toward.

At first, it’s just some fun—a way to decompress after everything I’ve been through. Only we grow closer, and I catch feelings, despite thinking I’d never trust anyone again.

Big mistake.

It turns out, the person I fell for is not who I thought he was. And I don’t know what’s worse—my shattered heart or the scandal that caused it.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Definitely my favorite of this series so far! I’m also just a big fan of T. Ashleigh. In this latest book of the series, we follow Austin and Beck. Austin is quiet, a bit awkward, and does whatever he can to stay out of the spotlight. His dad is not a fan of his but has no problem using him when he sees fit. And Austin’s twin brother was his best friend… until he betrayed Austin. Though they are identical twins, Austin has birthmarks on his body that he is super self conscious about and it doesn’t help when others, including his own family, have negative comments about it. So when a picture turns up on the internet of him (scars included) of doing some shady things, how can anyone believe it is anyone but him? Aaron set him up and when no one believes him, he gets shipped to Black Diamond to be out of the way. Beck is a reporter and is sent to Black Diamond undercover to find a story on the island and Austin. Though Black Diamond protects its guests with a crazy amount of NDAs, Beck’s boss has hopes they can think of something. But the moment Beck meets Austin, he knows he is in trouble. He is nothing like he expected and the more the spend time together and fall for one another, the harder it is to come clean about why he is on the island to begin with. But maybe there is hope for these two yet! I really adored this story. I love T. Ashleigh’s writing style and the banter and chemistry between Austin and Beck was really sweet. You know things won’t be easy once the truth is revealed but you can’t help but hope for these two to find their way back to one another! Really loved this story!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
