Fatal Scandal (The Fatal Series)

Fatal scandal was a great read. This book tied up many loose ends I thought that I could not like Nick and Sam more as a couple but I was wrong. Their relationship is so fluid and real with emotions that they feel regarding sex, past lovers, job related
issues, adoption and having their own baby. I love how they put each other first. I enjoyed the storyline and it was great to see Sthal back as the villain. Marie Force tells a great story filled with suspense and romance.

The murder plots are very exciting. One thing I dislike about these books are the sex scenes after a near death experience, in reality with stitches in your face or all over your body, sex would be the last thing on your mind.

This was a wonderful installment in the series, with just a few tiny little things that felt "off" to me. I liked it better than books six and seven, which had story lines that were a bit more implausible to me. This one got back to the roots of what makes us readers love the fatal series, especially the banter between Sam and Freddie. The case at the root of the story was actually more developed than some of those in previous books, too. The main thing that stuck in my craw as the book ended was the issue of Sam's protection detail and her (and Nick's) refusal to allow agents to protect her. I get that she would not be able to galavant around DC with agents following her, but she could still conceivably do her job. She could manage the detectives from HQ and delegate the footwork. The fact that she is now a weak link in the armor of security for the White House (now that EVERYONE knows she's unprotected) is not feasible.

The other thing I didn't love is that not only did Freddie "tune up" the guy who hit Elin, but several people - including higher up brass and the FBI - know this and there were no repercussions. That doesn't sit well with me.

Thank you once again Marie for another great story and all the great characters Every single character I've read of your and every story have been the best. Not sure even one of your stories has not made me mad, sad, laugh, and cry. That should be a sign of great writing for any author

Another out of the ballpark book for Marie Force. I literally could not put the book down and read it in one day. Love, love, love Nick, Sam and Scotty`s story (and e everyone else`s)...it's never enough. My only question is.... when is the next installment of the Fatal series going to be released?

As always, wonderful and engrossing from page one! The only thing I regret is having to wait for #9. Sam and Nick faced the challenge of his new job, and the news that Scott's father had been found, with the same wisdom they always use. Hope the next book comes SOON.

The Fatal series is a terrific read. Marie is such a wonderful writer that, from Fatal Affair to Fatal Scandal, has me not wanting to put the book down. I am looking forward to the next books in this series. Recently, I have told some friends about Marie and this series and now they are into them also and keep telling me how all they just want to keep reading and don't want to stop. I think she now has 10 more fans.

Marie has done it again with a wonderful story that revolves around Nick, Sam and Scotty. There are some surprises with Sam getting herself in a bad situation and with Nick now being the VP and with Scotty finding unknown family. It all flows together nicely. And now the wait for the next book.

Once again Marie had me hooked from the first page. I cried, laughter, and cried some more as I followed Sam and Nick on another journey in there life's. Sam and Nick are my all time favorite couple of any series I read! Can't wait for the next book!!!

I absolutely loved this book. It always keeps me on the edge of my seat trying to figure it out before the ending. I have told everyone I know about this series. As well as Marie Force.

This is a MUST read. Thanks for another great book!!!

I truly enjoy every second of this series. A Marie Force book always pitches my usual discipline out the window. I've been especially bad this last two weeks. I'm about to start book 9
It's all her fault!

The emotions in this book are no different than the rest of the books in the series except the one that I was having trouble breathing while I read through the section. So glad there was a happy ending as always! Keep the books coming!

Marie Force is wonderful! I love getting lost in the characters. This book seemed to be slow at the first half of the book but once you get to the end you understand why. Marie hits on all aspects of life through Nick and Sam's marriage and family life! Can't wait for Book 9 :)

Love Marie Force books but I am especially fond of the Fatal series. Fatal Affair was the first of her books I read and as I am a big fan of mysteries I have loved this series. Ready to read the next one they never come fast enough for me.

I love this series and this latest chapter did not disappoint. The relationship between Sam and Nick is one every woman dreams of. Couldn't put it down and can't wait for the next story of Sam and Nick. I have read all of the books written by Marie Force and find myself reading them more than once.

Another incredible book by Marie Force! I laughed, cried, sat on the edge of my seat while reading this book. So amazing I couldn't put it down. I absolutely love reading about Sam, Nick, Scotty and all of their family and friends!

Great storylines. Great pacing. Incredible writing. I just love Nick, Sam ,Scotty, Freddie, Gonzo...all of them. Every time I read a Fatal book, it's like catching up with old friends. Hope these books go on for a long time!

I have read all of Marie Force fatal series books and this one in my opinion was the best yet. She takes each character and makes a complete story for each and every one of the them. Thank you Marie for another outstanding book

Sam finds herself in another situation on the job while the family is navigating through the adoption process with Scotty. I love this series and hope it continues for another 4 years of their lives. Thank you for the series.

Another great installment of the Fatal Series. This series has it all. If you are looking for a great book series this is for you. It has everything, love, laughter, suspense, hot characters and amazing twists and turns.

Just finished book 8. Every book in this series is great and each one gets better and better. I love the characters. They have become friends. I don't know I will be able to wait for the next book.

well Marie could you please make it anymore suspenseful? Talk about a book you can't put down! Now I wonder if I can take the next one.. Your only get better. I can recommend this book and series without hesitation!!

This was a great thriller! I literally could not stop reading until I had it finished. Each one in the series just keeps getting better. I hope another one is in the making. Marie knows how to tell a great story!

This Fatal series is amazingly amazing with each new book better than the last. Just when you think it is probably time for the story line To "get old", Marie Force up and does it again!! Hope this series never ends! Love all of the characters!

Marie's books never disappoint. This installment of Nick and Sam's story was great. Not only was the storyline great, but I loved that you got updates along the way to find out how the rest of the characters were.

this book is fantastic..every book and story gets better and better. I love the way she keeps the characters so that every one can relate to them, She sucks u inso you cant put it down. My new favorite series

I love Marie's storylines...this series always have a lot of action band mystery. Always looking forward to the next book in any of her series..I have read all her books Andrea will continue to. Some I have read more than twice.

Love this book. I actually love the entire series and each book gets better and better. I just love the lives of Nick and Sam and Scotty plus they continue to provide updates about all the other characters.

It answered so many questions and opened so many more lines if interest I can't wait to find the answers. Is Skip going to get better, is Freddy in trouble, who is Stahl's friend on the force? Great book.

Still a huge fan of the Fatal Series.... This book didn't reveal to much, and wouldn't say it really progressed the story much. It seemed like more of a filler for book 9. Overall, I liked the book, and still excited for book 9 to be released...

"The Fatal Series" were the first Marie Force books that I read. I love them so much, I can hardly wait for the next one. Since then, I have read all of Ms Force's work (she has other series and stand alones that are just as good) and she has become a favorite of mine.

Wonderful read!! Love the characters, always a good story& and what can I say about Sam & Nick a great love that seems to endure ! Don't want to see this series end ,always anticipating the next book. Keep them coming.

Marie Force has written another exciting Fatal Series. If you have not read any of them, you are missing some great reads. She makes her characters come alive and interesting. Can't wait to read her next one.
