Sunny Shelly’s Review: Speak of the Devil by S.L. Scott

Speak of the Devil by S.L. Scott is now live!

The hottest rock star in the world walking into my work wasn’t on my bingo card. Speak of the devil . . . 

My soon-to-be ex-husband.

Shane Faris is taller than I remember. Scruffier. More attractive than ever and sporting a sinful smirk that tells me he hears “Yes” too much. Figures.

He offers me the divorce I want, but on one condition . . .

A weekend together, for old times’ sake.

He’s partied his way through time zones, collecting ink on his skin to commemorate events I wasn’t a part of. While I struggled to earn my degrees, Shane chased fame and made memories without me.

It’s time to move on.

So why does his presence cause my heart to kick up a beat and my cheeks to blush when he sends me a wink? I can’t resist him. And he is my husband, after all, if only for a few more days.

When that weekend becomes two lines on a pregnancy test, we must decide whether this is a second chance worth taking together.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Not quite sure what to shelf this one as… it’s not a traditional second chance romance, but it kinda is, and not quite a marriage of convenience, but it kinda is. But any way you slice it, Shane and Cate’s story was definitely entertaining!

I loved Shane’s cocky confidence, and how he didn’t quite know what to do with all the big things he was feeling for Cat. As they navigate their feelings for one another — and the fact that they are somehow married! — an easy rapport grows between them. There are many heart-to-heart conversations between Shane and Cate, and neither of them shy away from communicating with the other. Or being vulnerable. I appreciated that kind of maturity in their relationship.

The mysterious wedding that neither one of them remembers is a different spin on the married couple trope, and I enjoyed seeing these two fall in love as they tried to figure out the details of their accidental marriage. There is a great chemistry between the characters, and while the circumstances were a little crazy — and a gerontology nurse and a world-famous drummer seem to be an unlikely couple — they just worked.

The Break Up is heartbreaking, heartwrenching, and leaves Cate shattered. But Shane really puts in the work to make things right, and I loved the reunion.

Speak of the Devil is a standalone spinoff from the Westcott series, in the Faris Wheel series, I guess, following Never Have I Ever. There are some cameos from Larid and Poppy (and the Crow Brothers crew), and I loved getting an update on those characters.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
