Flirting with Scandal

This podcast is brought to you by InterMix, publisher of Chanel Cleeton’s Flirting With Scandal, the first novel in a brand-new series set in Washington D.C. starring three sisters, the secrets they keep, and a powerful blog with a knack for exposing scandals.

Welcome to Washington, D.C., city of scandal, where no secret stays hidden for long…

Jackie Gardner knows all about dirty little secrets. She’s the illegitimate daughter of a powerful senator, determined to take the city by storm in her own right. A prestigious internship is her chance to shine – as long as her past stays buried.

William Andrew Clayton was born for politics. He knows the drill: work hard, play discreetly, and avoid scandal like the plague – his glittering future and campaign depend on it.

Sparks fly when Jackie and Will meet. With both careers at stake, and their every move stalked by a salacious blog – more than one secret is at risk of being exposed. As they cross the line from politics into passion, is what they have just another dirty secret?

Download it May 19th!

  1. Des Livres says:

    Thankyou for your podcast. I was feeling very down indeed, and it really cheered me up.

  2. Lammie says:

    OK my mind is now blown. Sarah, for some reason, I have always pictured you as a tall person. I guess I think you have a tall sounding voice. I am going to RT (by myself, and for the first time, so thanks for that advice), and now I know I need to look for a shorter person if I want to meet you. I think maybe I have always pictured you as one of the 50s-style ladies pictured on the website. Please tell me that you at least wear cat eye eyeglasses.

  3. SB Sarah says:

    @Lammie: HA! Yes. I am tall-sounding but short-being. I do in fact wear glasses, but not with cats eye – my prescription doesn’t fit in them! My sunglasses are, though. Does that count?

  4. SB Sarah says:

    @Des Livres:

    Oh, thank you for saying that! I’m sorry you’ve been feeling down, and I’m very happy to have helped a little. I hope your weekend is lovely with much to enjoy!

  5. Karenmc says:

    I put off reading books frequently. Some books require their own time, the proper frame of mind, and even a certain barometric pressure.

    Speaking of Erin Satie, I picked up The Orphan Pearl last week and realized I needed to get going on the first two books in that series. So I’m in the middle of The Secret Heart right now, and really appreciating how focused the heroine is on achieving her goal. I’m not saying I’d want her as a friend, mind you, but getting into her head is enjoyable.

  6. Coco says:

    I also put off reading particular books. Some of it is mood, just not in the mood to read historicals, or not in the mood to read heavy drama. Sometimes it’s an issue of knowing that I want to binge and so waiting until I have all the books lined up and the time. Much less frequently for me, is avoiding gore or violence. I often go for the dark suspense, but there are times when I just know that I can’t cope with that.

    I think there’s absolutely something to be said for waiting for the appropriate time (for you,) to read a particular book BECAUSE you will enjoy it more if you wait. I have a very hard time putting down a book once I start it. Even if I’m really not enjoying it, I will finish it. That can cause me problems going back to other books in the series or even just other books by the author.

    I don’t think it’s an indication that you don’t want to read the book or that you won’t truly enjoy it. I have been waiting on a Sandra Brown, who I love, just because I think it’s going to be too much for me right now. I’m also putting off reading some Allison Brennan, who is my very favorite author, because I don’t want to run out so I’m waiting for more in the series.

    This whole having no concept of time thing, I got that. The funny thing is is that I have really good recall of things like conversations, or what I was wearing, or what you are wearing, or location, or the weather, but I could not tell you when these things occurred. No clue.

    And funnily enough, a lot of those conversations have happened when I’ve been waiting in line. The people waiting in line with you are very interesting. I too have made friends while I was waiting in line.

  7. Sabra says:

    I am also one of those readers who have to been the right mood to read certain books. If I am too tired, or in an odd place, or distracted, there are certain genres or authors I just leave alone, because I know that it will negatively effect my reading experience.

    Of course, this is also true in terms of writing. I do a lot of writing, in general, but specifically script writing, but there are some days, no matter how many ideas I need to work out, where I just CAN’T because I know my mood will make what I’m trying to express come out in a way I don’t want it to.

  8. Ellen says:

    I <3 Laura Florand soo much you guys. She's also really good at writing her heroes as wanting. And what they want more than anything is their heroines and I just nom it up.

  9. Sarah says:

    I decided to check on Scribd for the Elle Kennedy books and found that both of them are there! Yusssssss! *Does happy dance* I’m going to read now.

  10. Amanda says:

    For me time is also a consideration for when I read a book. I read at night and I prefer to save my favorite authors for nights when I can read long into the night. Usually that is not until Friday. What is awful is when there is a book that on my kindle that I have been waiting to read but Friday comes and I am suddenly not in the right mood to read it.

  11. AndrewCoiz says:

    Три дня назад мониторил содержимое сети, неожиданно к своему удивлению увидел неплохой веб-сайт. Посмотрите: Купить табак для кальяна Екатеринбург. Для моих близких вышеуказанный сайт оказался весьма нужным. До свидания!

  12. Tanesha says:

    I need to stop listening to you 2 bitches, you’re making me BROKE! 😉
