5 Words: Politics, scandal, love, family, rumour. 
 If you know me, then you know I've got a soft spot for Chanel Cleeton. And if you've ever read any of her books then you know there's a reason for that. She's the author who restored my faith in New Adult, showed it could be more than badly rewritten sex scenes and regurgitated plots. And in Flirting with Scandal she keeps up the good work. 
 There is passion and intrigue and right at the centre a fantastic character in the shape of Jackie, someone who was simultaneously incredibly strong to everyone around her and vulnerable just in front of the only one who really knew her. Or thought he did. Because this plot has some fantastic twists. 
 There was something about her, something that felt like a burst of color in a sea of gray. 
 The whole story was very fluid and natural in the way it played out. And even for someone who knows nothing (absolutely nothing) about American politics it was never overwhelming.
