Wren
Sterling has been working double time to keep the indiscretions at Moorehead

responsibilities and additional incentives, she agrees. Working
with the reclusive oldest son of a ridiculously entitled family is worth the
hassle if it means she’s that much closer to pursuing her own dreams.

she certainly doesn’t expect to fall for Lincoln.
But when a
shocking new Moorehead scandal comes to light, she’s forced to choose between
her own family and the broody, cynical CEO.

MY REVIEW:
I never read a Helena Hunting's book with a warning in the title, but you have to handle this one with care. This new novel by Helena Hunting is the perfect summer read: light, fun, sweet and sexy, with amazing new characters and some great cameos of our favorites on the series.
Lincoln is Armstrong (Amalie's ex-husband) older brother, and as much of us he can't stand him. Well, as a matter of fact his relationship with the family is kinda complicated so he has been 'disconnected' from them. Until his dad passes, and he is summoned to rule the family business. Something he doesn't want.
Being in the media business, his mother thought it was a good idea to hire a "handler". A public relationships consultant named Wren, who's an expert fixing... well, every possible kind of (public) mess. And despite their initial animosity toward each other, soon the things start to get too hot to handle.
This book has its soap-opera-like moments, yes, but they are hilarious. Wren is like all Helena Hunting's heroins combined: baddass, sassy, witty, strong and smart; and Lincoln... well, he is totally swoon-worthy. I loved them together, and I rooted for their HEA every single chapter of the book.
Something cool about this book? We get to see Griffin and Cosy again. YAY! Also there's a little cameo of Ruby, Bane, Amalie and Lex.
One of my favorite characters in this story is Lincoln's G-mom. And Hope. She's pretty cool too.
I finished this read feeling it's possible to redeem Armstrong in some point. I really hope Helena writes a woman capable of shake that assholiness out of him and turn him into book-boyfriend material. Who know. Everything is possible in fiction.
