*****5 Stars*****
This is Connor's story, the most mysterious of the group of six friends. Now if you haven't read the first book in the series, Scandal Never Sleeps, then I'd advise you not to continue reading this review, it may contain some tiny spoilers, nothing drastic to the main plot but as this is a series there is a long running storyline throughout so I wouldn't advise the books to be read as standalones. To appreciate the full story I'd say you certainly need to start with book one.
Now that warning is out of the way let's talk about Connor, well as you know from the end of book one he'd been chatting online to the woman who runs the Capitol Scandals tabloid blog, attempting to ingratiate himself in her life somehow to find out what she knows and to see how much of a threat she is to Zack's presidency. Connor, the CIA agent who is not the paper-pushing analysist he'd have us believe he is, is a stone cold alpha male. He's used to getting what he wants and he's ruthless when it comes to attaining his goals. He lives on the dark side and he doesn't have attachments, those would be weaknesses.
Enter Lana, the hippie vegan investigative reporter who is the mystery owner of the Capitol Scandals blog. When Connor places himself in her life under the guise of a bodyguard he quickly learns that she's not what he first thought and the cute little pixie has the potential to bring the big bad wolf to his knees.
In this second installment the mystery continues and we start to get some answers, but just when you think you have an inkling of what is going on these authors throw more curveballs your way that leave you with even more questions and a sense that this mystery goes far deeper than we ever could have guessed and The Perfect Gentlemen are more connected personally to it than it initially seemed.
I'm absolutely loving this series of unputdownable reads and I'm itching to get my hands on the third book, which is to be Dax's story. I'm enjoying how the story is laid out, that each book concentrates mainly on one member of the Perfect Gentlemen but the main story is running throughout, it's keeping me guessing and coming up with all sorts of theories and ideas and has me desperate to find out the truth. I'm becoming very attached to these characters and really invested in them. I'm so looking forward to book three in this series, not just to solve a bit more of the mystery but I'm also looking forward to getting a closer look at Dax. On the outside he seems like a happy go lucky guy, but I think he's hiding some heartbreak behind that facade.

Privileged, wealthy, and wild: they are the Perfect Gentlemen of Creighton Academy. But the threat of a scandal has one of them employing his most deceptive—and seductive—talents…
Recruited into the CIA at a young age, Connor Sparks knows how dirty the world can be. Only when he’s with his friends can he find some peace. So when an anonymous journalist threatens one of the Perfect Gentlemen, Connor vows to take down the person behind the computer, by whatever means necessary—even if it means posing as his target’s bodyguard.
Publishing a tabloid revealing Washington’s most subversive scandals has earned Lara Anderson the ire of the political scene—and a slew of death threats. To keep herself from ending up a headline, Lara hires a bodyguard, a man as handsome as he is lethal.
When the bullets start to fly, Lara is surprised to find herself in Connor’s arms. But as they begin to unravel a mystery that just might bring down the White House, Lara is devastated when she discovers Connor’s true identity—and finds herself at the mercy of forces who will stop at nothing to advance their deadly agenda.
