When a canceled flight forces Georgia to delay her trip, she is stunned to realize that the handsome stranger across the lobby is her former childhood neighbor. Alec Kim is as gorgeous as ever, offering to help Gigi when all of the hotels are booked. A scorching one-night stand ensues, but both are resolute that it will go no further. Gigi soon learns that Alec is one of the most popular K-drama stars, making a romance seem impossible. Yet Alec and Gigi aren’t free of each other just yet…and do they want to be? 

Scandalized was spectacular! It opened with a great meet-cute and immediately embraced the steam and romance of a celebrity/journalist pairing.  Gigi’s journalistic work was grounding and created a meaningful secondary plot. Alec was delightful!! He was thoughtful, protective, and enchanted with Gigi. Meanwhile, Gigi has had a crush on Alec for as long as she can remember. It was so satisfying to see this come to an epic conclusion as they find each other again years later. I would definitely recommend it for fans of Tessa Bailey and Rosie Danan. I can’t wait to see what Ivy Owens writes next!
