About this ebook

Christy Award Hall of Fame Author

FBI Agent Jude Camden handles every aspect of his job with by-the-book professionalism. There's no reason why his latest assignment—which calls for him to pose as the boyfriend of perfumer Gemma Clare—should be any different.

Except Gemma is different. She's creative, bold, and feisty. And as soon as she meets Jude, she wants to loosen him up, wrinkle his perfect shirts, and test every ounce of his towering self-control.

The FBI has an iron-clad rule against romances between those working together on operations. Jude's never met a rule he didn't respect. But adhering to this one is going to be tough because, as time goes by, he finds Gemma more and more irresistible.

Buckle up! It's going to be a rocky road.

Escape to Maine for this swoon-worthy "fake romance"! Banter, humor, perfume, and a mystery from the past intertwine in this sweet Sons of Scandal love story.

Ratings and reviews

Superb: This was an outstanding Christian romance with a touch of intrigue. I thought that the plot was interesting and unique and I loved that there were two separate lines of mystery. Jude and Gemma made a wonderful couple, although they had quite a few obstacles to overcome in order to be together. I enjoyed seeing their personal growth and that they were quirky and not perfect. The faith elements were handled extremely well and came across as authentic and meaningful. This book is part of a series but can be enjoyed as a standalone. However I personally loved reuniting with some of the past characters and I eagerly look forward to seeing what comes next. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

“Turned out that the intimate, fleeting seconds of their kiss had been stellar seconds. Like the seconds when you’re chewing a chocolate truffle or breathing in the perfect fragrance or sinking into a bubble bath.” This quote is the perfect description of Becky Wade’s Rocky Road. It’s a delicious comfort read on a cold winter day. I devoured this book and loved every minute of Jude’s & Gemma’s story. It’s an opposites attract, fake relationship, sensory delight. Highly recommend!

Oh my goodness where do I even start? Becky Wade, you have always had me hooked, and Rocky Road, just like the ice cream, was so so good! I loved every moment I spent reading this book, and can’t wait to read what comes next! Being the second book in the series, I of course, had to read the first book, Memory Lane. You can easily read either book as a stand alone, but you will miss out on the joy that comes with reading a book by Becky Wade, which is a sad sad thing to do. Obsessed!
