Description

He runs in high society 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 intel—dear old dad and his political cronies are about to maneuver him into running for mayor.

But Gran has a plan. A pre-emptive strike involving a pretty blonde caterer with supple curves—and 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 territory—love. 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 ...

Note: This title was originally published in 2000 by Harlequin Temptation, Blaze. It appears here in its original glory, without substantial revision.

    This is book 2 in the Simply series and it features Logan Montgomery and Catherine Luck. The scandalous part would be Logan‘s family, in particular his wealthy father. The other scandalous part would be his very nosy, intrusive, well intentioned and extremely loved grandmother, Emma. This grandmother makes ZERO apologies for her meddling, which is super funny. This is an insta-love story with fantastic characters. The story line dealt with a beautiful romance but was told with very little background or filler story. It could’ve easily been a longer book. Nevertheless, I truly enjoyed reading it.

    ARC for honest review with no compensation Received from BookSprout Simply Scandalous is book 2 in the Simply series by Carly Phillips and has been rewritten and re-released. 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 more…can’t wait for the next book in this series!
  • Great vacation read!

    This was an enjoyable read that also allows you to catch up with Kayla and Kane. Catherine and Logan came from completely different backgrounds but were so much more compatible than Catherine’s preconceived notions. It, Logan made his mission to show Catherine how alike they were (with some interference from Emma, his grandmother). This was a nice, easy read, perfect for the beach.
  • Love conquers all!

    A meddling grandmother, a public defender with a untouched trust fund, and a caterer with a scandalous family are the main characters for the second book in the Simply series. Catherine begins to want a family like her sister has found. She just doesn’t think anyone would stick around for her. Logan works hard to live outside his high society family even when his father won’t take no for an answer. There immediate connection and electric chemistry make it hard to say no to each other. Overcoming fears and getting what you want mean taking chances with your heart. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
