This was a reread for me, although it's definitely been long enugh since I read Logan and Catherine's story that it felt new.


It's also been updated, just a little, from the original, allowing it to feel like "classic" Carly Phillips but also like it's new and updated for the times.


Catherine is a little down on her luck pun intended after the discovery in thest book that her family business is actually a front for organized crime, but she is doing her best to make things

work and doesn't think that Logan, who is from a rich and prominent family, will want anything to do with her.


But, he does, and the life he lives and the things he values end up surprising her and she realizes that it's definitely possible for there to be a happily ever after at the end of their story.


The getting to the HEA is a little predictable, but not in a way that ruins the fun of the story,

I enjoyed and recommend this title, Just finished this one! I think the first was my favorite of the two, but still a good, quick read! ARC for honest review with no compensation Received from BookSprout

Simply Scandalous is bookin the Simply series by Carly Phillips and has been rewritten and rereleased.


Up next is Catherine “Cat” Luck, caterer and Logan Montgomery, Assistant District Attorney meet at a social garden party Cat is catering and his influential grandmother planned for family and political counterparts of his father.


Sparks fly, social status, scheming the good kind, no fraternizing at the function, steamy, scandal and so much morecant wait for the next book in this series! This is the second book in this series but defiantly can be read as a standalone.
Catherine or Cat Luck is the younger sister of Kayla who we met in Simply Sinful, Cat is an amazing chef and she has opened a catering company with her sister, Right now Kayla is married to Sheriff Kane and is pregnant and on bed rest so Cat is running the catering company all by herself.
She receives a call from Emma Montogmery to cater her tea and it is the biggest party she has served yet, At this party, she meets Logan Montogmery the grandson of Emma and the son of one of the biggest judges, This judge and his wife both happen to be snobs, Emma has decided that her grandson and Cat will make the perfect couple so she is playing matchmaker, . . with a side of "stick it in her son the Judge",
This book has lots of feel goods and fun things, Cat and Logan in my opinion are certainly the perfect match, But she needs to see this before love can win out, He runs in highsociety circles, . . and he's running circles around her heart,

In retrospect, it was all Gran's fault,

Logan Montgomery has found his niche as an assistant district attorney, But Gran just revealed some worrying inteldear old dad and his political cronies are about to maneuver him into running for mayor,

But Gran has a plan, A preemptive strike involving a pretty blonde caterer with supple curvesand a family history literally dripping with scandal, There's just one flaw in his grandmother's scheme: Logan's not a player, And there's a delicious spark of attraction that makes him want to try for something special with Catherine Luck,

It's a mystery to Catherine why Logan, who sits at the very top of the social ladder, would even look twice at someone like her.
Maybe he has a thing for disgraced, overworked caterers, But his gentle concern, delivered in that velvety chocolate voice, can't be real, and Cat knows better than to mix business with pleasure,

Raw desire and genuine affection unexpectedly tip them into forbidden territorylove, Until Catherine gets a stark reminder that the Montgomerys never do anything without an ulterior motive,

Which means Catherine's luck in love is about to run out, . . As for the previous one, it's rather poor in terms of plot, of characters' study,
The hero and heroine are once again supposed to fall in love with each other, with a great depth of feeling, because they really understood who the other is beneath his deceptive appearance and façade, all that while they have not talked yet or not more thanwords, but have just looked at each other.

There were however some better moments than expected later on in the story,
.only The follow up book to Simply Sinful is the story of Logan Montgomery and Catherine Luck, Logan meets Cat while she is catering an event for his family and is immediately taken with her, Thanks to some meddling from his grandmother who is a phenomenal addition to the series he and Cat find themselves locked in a closet and have a chance to get to know each other.
The only issue for this great couple is Cat doesnt feel like she belongs in Logans world, Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks Cat doesnt feel like she and Logan can have a future together, Can he change her very stubborn mind and show her how perfect they are together You definitely want to add this one to your collection!!!
