Synopsis – Scandalous in Huntington Beach

Bennett Browning has spent his life planning for success, but nothing prepares him for fatherhood—especially when he learns of his daughter’s existence only after his ex’s tragic passing. A politician on the rise, Bennett’s carefully curated life is thrown into chaos as he struggles to care for an infant he never knew existed.

Emma Kuan is no stranger to secrets, but discovering her late sister had a baby she kept hidden even from her is a devastating blow. Determined to step in, Emma offers to become her niece’s nanny, even if it means moving in with the enigmatic and ambitious Bennett.

As they navigate sleepless nights, unexpected chemistry, and the looming threat of political scandal, Bennett and Emma find themselves drawn together in ways neither anticipated. But when heartbreaking news about the baby forces them to make impossible choices, they’ll have to decide whether love can truly heal the wounds of the past—or if some secrets are too big to overcome.

Book three in the Love is a Beach series but can be read as a standalone.

My Review

Scandalous in Huntington Beach by Melody DeBlois

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The premise of this story was very interesting to me but something about the execution did not quite connect with me.

I think I didn’t really feel the emotional connection or tension between the two main characters. I also didn’t understand some of their actions or why they didn’t just have conversations (though I understand that would make for a shorter book lol).

The book is well written and the story is interesting. I just think that maybe I’m not the target audience.

I do think if you are someone who likes romance, especially with the marriage of convenience and misunderstandings tropes then you will enjoy this story.
