Kristina Sutherland learns she is pregnant, possibly from a drug induced date rape. Scandal information is leaking from Board Members to those who were on board the corporate yacht. The scandal could destroy the corporation.

Romantic settings and danger increase as Kristina pursues an investigation, to find the unknown father of her pregnancy. Shawn announces timing for disclosures in a will, and a special fund for Kristina. Characters are interesting in description and action. The plot is easy to follow through each scene with descriptive movement.

This romantic suspense novel maintains thrilling intrigue surrounding Kristina. With passionate support for Kristina, the story ending may be a surprise.

Scandal is one of those must reads. I knew who the rapest was, that was easy. But what shocked me was the lengths that were taken during the cover up. Once I started reading Scandal, I couldn't stop. I had to see how this ended. The twists and turn of events, the indecisiveness, the conclusion. Oh my goodness I wanted to rush to the end because I wanted to know what SHE decided but I didn't want to miss any of the drama that lead up to it. Scandal has romance mystery death and everything else a great Mystery should have. I can see this as a movie or mini-series on television it's just that good.
I would gladly recommend Scandal: Death of A Legacy.

I love a good action/suspense book. This one has both plus romance. A great story. I gave 4 stars because it needs editing. Not enough that it took away from the story, but enough to get noticed. The story itself is quite good. I had a hard time putting it down due to the fact that I wanted to know what happened next. The characters are all great in their own way. You can't help but love Shawn. A good add for your tbr list. Recommended read!

This book was pretty darn awesome. I liked the story. Kristina was a hoot and I love the other characters. The problem that I had with the book was the serious lack of editing and the fact there was no mystery in figuring out the killer. It was a neat book, I liked it, I just had a hard time loving it!

I loved. The Scandel The Death of a Legacy, Johnny keeps you guessing all through the story, who raped Kristina, and who was the father of her baby, she was carrying. Shawn who worked as a security guard for the company of Kristina 's father, and what connection did Shawn have with Brent who also own some of the company. Well buy the book and you will find out.
