When former bad girl Genevieve West returns home for her mother’s funeral, she’s prepared to keep her distance from her ex-boyfriend, Evan Hartley. Their history is rife with turbulence. And passion. A heck of a lot of passion... which she’s trying desperately to forget.
But it’s impossible not to run into Evan in the small coastal town where they once ran wild. And the moment she sees her gorgeous ex again, it’s clear to Gen that Evan is still as unruly, sexy, and irresistible as ever. This time around, however, she’s resolved to walk a new path. No more partying. No more foolish mistakes. Her plan is to temporarily remain in town to help her father run his business, but the second he finds somebody else, she’s out of there.
Evan has other ideas. He knows they can be good together, but he just has to convince Genevieve of that, even if it means turning over a new leaf himself. But can a bad reputation ever truly be shed? Do second chances really work? Genevieve and Evan are about to find out.
Bestselling author Elle Kennedy returns to Avalon Bay in this sexy second chance story about two exes who can't stay away from each other, Bad Girl Reputation.
I’ve been sitting on this review for a while. To be honest, its because this is the first Elle Kennedy book that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. Genevieve and Evan probably would have been ok separately, but I couldn’t see how the two of them and their toxic tendency were ever going to make sense in the long run. Genevieve constantly struggled with who she was now versus who she had been before she left town. Evan didn’t seem to appreciate or really want to understand why Genevieve didn’t want to pick up where they left off. Many times I found myself irritated that he wasn’t listening to her. Add to the fact that his brother seemed to blame her for everything that ever went wrong for Evan and it ended up being the perfect storm of what I didn’t like.
