To find out where this passion will lead them, read the book A Scandal Changes Everything by Josie Johns.   I  like the humor in the book, especially in the conversations.

Additionally, I like Roman and Sophia as main characters. Although Roman is powerful, he's quite gentle. On the other hand, Sophia is a very...

I did not quite like the main characters. Kit is arrogant, and Chloe seems weak. The storyline also seems unbelievable, where both characters are leading different lives but going through the same circumstances...
