Once upon a time Max Cirillo and Sloane Madison were close friends and business partners. But when their business relationship imploded, so did the friendship.
Now, four years later, Max is a rich CEO. Sloane’s a not-so-rich etiquette expert who returns to Maine to serve as her niece’s temporary guardian and help the girl search for her birth father. Sloane and her niece move into a darling garage apartment but Sloane’s joy in their accommodations soon turns to horror when she realizes their apartment belongs to Max. Thanks to an unbreakable lease, she’s stuck living right next door to him.
Max pulled strings to bring Sloane into his orbit because he needs closure on what went wrong between them. Quickly, though, his scheming comes back to bite him. The world might view him as a cold-hearted rake, but this one woman has dangerous power over his emotions.
They’ll have no choice but to confront their history—and the undeniable spark between them—while living side by side on uneasy street.
Discover witty humor, rich emotion, banter, and charm within the pages of this sweet enemies-to-lovers romance!

My Review:
I've adored each of the titles in Becky Wade's Sons of Scandals series, but without a doubt, Max's story ended up being my favorite. I had a hard time wanting to put this lovely story down, and it definitely was worth the wait and lived up to every single expectation I had for it.
This series overall has done a fabulous job of illustrating the turmoil that bad decisions can cause not only for the ones who made the decisions, but also for the children and other family members who have no choice but to get dragged into the drama. I knew going into this one that with everything Max had been through, it was going to take a special gal to break through to his heart, and I'm happy to say that Sloane was definitely the woman for the job. Not only is Uneasy Street a wonderful enemies to lovers romance, but it's also a fantastic second chance romance, and author Becky Wade effortlessly nailed both of these tropes perfectly with her signature witty writing.
Full of hijinks and hilarity, a lovely focus on family and friendship, and a faith element that blended in authentically, this romance was both swoon worthy and squeaky clean which I absolutely appreciated. Max and Sloane were a hoot together, and I loved every single one of their interactions, and never wanted to see the story come to an end.
However, as much as I absolutely adored the romance, the secondary plot lines were even better, which almost seems impossible. Readers get to see more of the story between Fiona and her sister, we get to journey along with a lovely side character (Sloane's niece Ivy) on her quest to discover her biological family, and there's also a touch of mystery surrounding something from the past.
If you enjoy sweet and swoon worthy romances with a touch of Jesus, then this title is definitely the one you've been waiting for. Best selling author Becky Wade gives this series the send off it deserves, and while this definitely could be read as a stand alone, I highly recommend picking up the other books first as they are also wonderful reads.
Final Rating: 5/5.
I can't recommend this enough, and I can't wait to see what Becky Wade has in store for her reader's next!
Thanks so much to Becky Wade for allowing me to advance read and review this title!
I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the author via NetGalley. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and this is my honest review.
Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)
