Bad Reputation by S.L. Scott

 

SYNOPSIS

Being bad never felt so good.

I fell for Ally the moment I saw her. Who doesn’t like a confident, intelligent woman with curves I could spend days exploring?

Who am I kidding?

I have.

Many times.

Our story ended abruptly when she left like we weren’t meant to be. We are. So I’m calling her bluff. That’s how I ended up thousands of miles from home, standing next to a man who claims to be her fiancé.

Being good has never felt so bad.

When it comes to a successful man with an incredible body and biteable jaw aka Hutton . . . let’s just say willpower is not my strong suit.

Need more?

Try bad-boy American.

You’re welcome.

Embracing my newfound good girl status, I do the right thing and start my reign. My desires no longer matter. The monarchy, the people, and my country do. There is no place for love in this new life.

But I never expected to see him again, much less standing next to my royally appointed soon-to-be fiancé. 

As if that didn’t complicate things, the man I once told I love you to is wearing a perfectly tailored tuxedo and my favorite smirk. I straighten my crown and adjust my dress, realizing this good girl never stood a chance. I’ll take the bad reputation if I get him.

Being bad never felt so good.

Bad Reputation by S.L. Scott is a brilliant take on second chance royal romance.  A story that is standalone, don't miss out on the pseudo-prequel romantic suspense Everest & The Crow Brothers books - full of crossover characters you'll meet during this fantastic read.

Told in first person, from dual perspectives, Bad Reputation is loaded with "Want. Lust. Need." that will have you completely captivated from the start.  What begins as a hot romantic tryst turns into wanting more.  So much angst before true feelings are revealed.  So many questions with "A hurricane of truths..." you won't see coming.  Heartstrings pulling, emotionally raw & real "You're the fairy-tale ending I wish I could have."  Close family ties between siblings, friends who may be foe.  A story of two worlds colliding, of being torn between duty & heart, of finding the person you were meant to be "...it's up to us to create our destiny..." & of what family can be.

I love the strong female role model elements & message to never be less than extraordinary.  Just couldn't get enough of the soul deep attraction & connections that every girl dreams of.  But what got me most is the hardy love & support that shines through. "Camaraderie. Friendship. Family."  Can we have more S.L.?  A little somethin' somethin' for Bennett...
