I enjoyed this book. It is the 2nd book in the Rumor series and a great follow-up to the first book. I think it had a good pace throughout the book. The romance was well done. It was a slow, build-up. The ex dynamics were a little over the top but worked well in the story.

Chante can't escape scandal and innuendo. She escapes to Charleston when an ex embroils her in a scheme to win public approval for his mayoral campaign, and meets a man with his own ex problems. Their first encounter ignites fireworks, but not the romantic kind, but it's not long before Chante and Zach are playing pretend couple to appease her marriage-minded mother.
Throughout the story, they dodge the media (who want to know about her "involvement" with the cheating Robert and his ex-wife, the "Harlem Madame") and succumb to passion at the B&B where they met, on the beach...all over the place. :) Their romance takes them through moments of personal and professional growth and finally away from the obstacles threatening their relationship.
This is a fun read - funny in parts and dramatic in others. I had not read the first book in this series, and I think that would help to become familiar with the entire story.
