I recently joined Gia Stevens’ Street Team and I am so excited to read and promote her books! 

🏍You will enjoy this book if you like:

• Best Friend’s brother
• Strangers to Lovers
• Opposites Attract
• Laugh out Loud
• Grumpy/Sunshine
• Spicy/Open Door Romance

🏍I fell in love with Olivia and Ledger right from the beginning.  They started off with a bang and never stopped.  Fast-paced, with lots of banter and can easily be read in one sitting.

🏍Olivia is a good girl who has grown up around money, glitz, glamour and Armani suits.  Ledger is a hard-bodied, bad-boy, with long hair and tattoos with a standoffish attitude.  They couldn’t be any more different.  When they kiss for the first time, sparks fly and you will easily be hooked and rooting for this couple!

🏍There’s a tug of war between Oliva and Ledger since Ledge doesn’t think he disserves someone like Olivia and then there is the family drama, all of which makes the story more interesting.  Olivia is strong-headed and wants what she wants, but will love win out in the end or will the influence of others destroy them?

🏍This was the perfect rom-com….it was sexy, sweet, humorous and fun to read!  It’s the perfect book to put a smile on your face!

[Randi (randi_reads) · Rating 4 out of 5]

After a disastrous kissing encounter with someone Olivia has been flirting with for awhile, she thinks she is broken and asks the man next to her at the bar to kiss her. By looks, he is completely opposite of her- a tattooed, long haired, bad boy, but their chemistry is hot. The kiss leaves her wanting more.

This is my first book by this author, so I was surprised by how spicy it is, but there is a good plot to go with it. Olivia and Ledger come from two different worlds and there are some people who don’t approve of their relationship and a little family meddling.

Thank you to the author for the advanced readers copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I will definitely catch up with the prior books in this series and read the next book about Olivia’s sister.

Once I started reading I was instantly hooked. From the beginning of the story everything was go, go, go. I wasn’t bored at all. There were no dramatic pauses or long chapters. The perfect book really.

This was my first read by Gia and I must admit I was pretty impressed, while spicy books are not quite my thing, it was the storyline that kept me going. I had to find out what happened between Ledger and Olivia, considering they had to practically jump through hoops just to get to where they wanted. It was definitely a *𝗚𝗔𝗦𝗣* 𝗡𝗢𝗢𝗢𝗢 every so often kinda read.

I loved the opposite attract trope so much, it was so perfect how it was portrayed, the rich girl falling for the started from the bottom, rough on the edges bad boy.

I also loved the vibes the story gave off, that even though Olivia had money and Ledger had your basic standard job, that didn’t matter to her. She wanted him anyway. No matter what her parents wanted or said! Defying authority at its finest.

Overall an amazing read!

[Charlotte · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a great rom com! It was sexy, it was sweet & it was an easy lighthearted read. After being in a bit of a book slump this was the perfect book to get me reading again .

This was my first Gia Stevens novel and I did not think it was going to be as hot as it was… let me just say Olivia and Ledger do not disappoint 🌶️🔥

Olivia and Ledger are from different worlds. Olivia is use to the glitz, glamour and suit and tie type of men. While Ledger is a motorbike, rip Jean wearing bad boy. One kiss is all it takes for sparks to fly between the two. With expectations from her family and ex’s coming into the picture will the spark between them be enough to seperate the gap of their two different lives? Guess you will have to pick up a copy of Flirting With The Bad Boy on July 17 to find out!!!

Harbor Highlands Series
By Gia Stevens

🏍️ Opposites Attract
🏍️ Grumpy/Sunshine
🏍️ Best Friend’s Brother
🏍️ Good Girl/ Bad Boy
🏍️ Spicy Rom Com
🏍️ HEA

This is the perfect sweet and spicy summer rom-com! I was lucky enough to receive this ARC from Gia Stevens, and as the first book of her I’ve read, I will definitely be reading more. I expected a sweet, slow burn romantic comedy, but was thrilled to find it was hot from the opening scene, and the spice throughout the rest of the book did not disappoint!

Olivia and Ledger have amazing chemistry right from the start. They are from different social worlds. As the title suggests, Ledger is the tattooed, motorcycle riding bad boy, and Olivia is the Senator’s daughter, socialite. Despite their differences, the dynamic they have throughout the story is excellent and easily pulls you in. While unexpected twists and turns keep you interested and in your toes, this is still an easy and lighthearted read, with a wonderful HEA, just as Gia promised.

I will totally be picking up the rest of the Harbor Highlands series, and am so excited that they can all be read as interconnected standalones!

Huge thanks to Gia Stevens & Enticing Journey Book Promotions for the chance to read and review this ARC.

Pierced 😏

This is admittedly my first book from this author, and it definitely won’t be the last. I’m obsessed with this book! The book immediately had me invested! It’s a really fast paced, sexy, but sweet read. Their first meeting was HOT! There’s a few unexpected surprises that will have you unable to put the book down. Can we talk about the dirty things this man says/ does?! The praise alone had me melting! I’d like to volunteer for the rock skipping please, ifykyk.

There’s nothing I enjoy more than when a FMC goes into her bad boy era! Olivia is a a rich girl who loves all the finer things in life, and Ledger is a hot mechanic who rides his motorcycle. There’s several issues these two have to overcome (definitely don’t want to spoil it), but there are many people who don’t approve of them, and try to tear them apart.

This is definitely the perfect read SPICY romcom you have to experience, because it was an entire ride! (Pun intended)

Gia has done it again! Good girl meets bad boy. Opposites attract. Best friend's brother. Controlling parents. Four star spice! This book had the good times (like, REALLY good times 😉) and bad times. You won't want to wait to read this one, it's so good!

[Kelsey (bookishkelsey) · Rating 5 out of 5]

I always love Gia’s books. They are spicy, cute and short!!
I loved the characters and their connection!
I will definitely be reading more of her books!

[Liz [reads books] · Rating 5 out of 5]

Classic case of boy meets girl and boy thinks he's not good enough for girl. Throw in some family drama for good measure.
Ledger and Olivia are from different "sides of the track" even though his brother is her best friend. I feel like they should have known about each other and I also feel like Olivia gave Trey (the best friend) way too much leeway.
And then the drama with Stevie?! Ledger handled that in the worst possible way 🤦‍♀️
Of course, the couple can't have a moments peace before we have another classic case of girl's father threatens boy and girl breaks up with boy to protect him. Luckily that is resolved so Olivia and Ledger can get their HEA in the end. 4½ stars

[Alyssashelf · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book 💜💜 This is the fifth book from the Harbor Highland Series and I think it might be my favorite. Olivia and Ledger are totally opposites. He’s a bad boy that drives motorcycles and she’s the good girl. But opposites attract right ???

It’s been a week since I’ve read this book and I’m still thinking about it ! 💜💜💜💜

[Books, Booze & Bon Voyage (Krista Webster) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Flirting with The Bad Boy is the next book in the Harbor Highlands series by Gia Stevens and is the best one so far. A thoroughly enjoyable story about a couple shocked at their instant attraction to each other when complete opposites in every way. A good girl and the bad boy romance, with a touch of the forbidden and best friend’s brother. This spicy rom-com has great banter and entertaining scenes all the way to their HEA.

“You’re my knight in shiny combat boots.”

Olivia and her best friend Trey, have spent the last two years flirting and all their friends expected them to get together, however, the night they finally decide to take it further leads to an very unexpected turn of events. Olivia can’t believe she felt nothing when they kissed. Fearing she has lost her spark, she asks a stranger at the bar to take part in an experiment. The gruff and grumpy guy has had a bad day so just wants to be left alone. He is weary of her proposition but she is attractive so as her request to kiss her amuses him, he accepts the challenge. Neither can believe the feelings the kiss incites and repeat it to see if it was a one off.

Olivia Ellis and Ledger Hudson, in theory don’t belong together and should never have met but a spark ignites the moment they kiss. She then makes the decision to go in search of him as she’s desperate to explore what she felt with him and find out his name!! Ledger wants to see her again because she has consumed his every thought since their kiss. This starts a romance full of laughter and smiles as she provides the light in his darkness.

Olivia is a Senator’s daughter with fancy clothes and expensive tastes. She has controlling parents and been trying to be the perfect daughter so knows they won’t approve of Ledger. For her there is just something about him and she finds herself craving him as he sparks joy into her life and is the best thing to happen to her in years. She is so funny when she stands up to him.

Ledger is a mechanic, rides a motorbike, has tattoos and a man bun. He has worked hard to build up his business and have a life to be proud of. He knows he’s not good enough for her but is willing to try especially as she doesn’t care about his past. For a grump, he is so romantic at times and has a charm you will fall for, along with his dirty mouth. He is rough and demanding one minute, then sweet and caring the next which brings out the wild side in Olivia.

They say everything happens for a reason and sitting down next to Ledger in that bar is Olivia’s and ends up changing both their lives. There are some absolutely swoon worthy scenes, especially the Strip Rock Skipping. Ledger is fantastic in the ways he supports and stands up for her. Olivia has never felt more loved and neither have ever laughed so much. This couple show if you work for what you want, there is a chance you can get it. There is a great twist at the end and I felt the obstacles they faced actually bring them closer together as they fight for their relationship. I felt sorry for Olivia’s sister Tatum, as there was obviously something going on with her boyfriend and I am pleased her story is next. I hope you enjoy this captivating, funny and steamy tale about the duchess getting her sexy bad boy as much as I did.

Gia has completely taken me by surprise with this book. I thought I knew where Olivia’s story was going, and after reading the first three books in the Harbor Highlands series and following the build up to her story, I was sure this book would be an obvious read… but I should have known better. What a happy surprise this book was, and I was flipping pages to try and catch up with where Gia’s creativity took Olivia and me. But, although I really want to say more I can’t… and it’s killing me because I want to share this story with you because it is, WITHOUT A DOUBT, one of THE BEST stories in the Best Friend’s Brother Trope that I have ever read.

Gia introduces us to a new character in Flirting with the Bad Boy with Ledger, the mechanic who has worked so hard to turn the bad hand he has been dealt around. He is working hard to make sure that he has the future that he wants, but there is a secret from his past that drives him. Olivia is Ledger’s “Dutchess” because she comes from a wealthy and politically connected family, and she is everything that he secretly wants. The pull between these two is electric and their first meeting is pure lightning! Once they meet, they are a force to be reckoned with and nothing will keep them apart… except their insecurities and need to keep others at a distance. If their relationship can survive each other's unstated thoughts, then nothing will keep them apart.

Although this is Book 4 in the Harbor Highlands Series, this can be read as a standalone without a problem. Knowing the backstories from the first three books in the series will give you a little more context and understanding for how the women who are at the core of this series support and interact with each other; however, everything you need to enjoy this book is inside.

Check out this surprising book and find out. You are guaranteed a wonderful ride, and a story that will make you sit up and read quickly on the spicy scenes, before slowing down on the sweet ones, but always savoring Oliva and Ledger’s story. With banter that is equal parts sassy and sweet, characters that are vulnerable and real, secondary characters that are the definition that are definition of Ride or Die, and families - both blood and found - that will make you “yup, that’s sounds just like _______” then this is the book you don’t want to wait to read.

[Laurie · Rating 4 out of 5]

When she doesn't feel a spark while kissing the guy she thought she'd been attracted to for months, Olivia Ellis is convinced there's something wrong with her. Acting on impulse, she asks the hot, tattooed biker next to her at the bar to kiss her, and it turns out to be the hottest kiss of her life. Unfortunately, he's called away before she can get his name or number, but she can't stop thinking about him. She heads back to the bar in an attempt to track down her mystery man, but just when she thinks it's a lost cause, Olivia literally runs into him. What starts as a fling with mechanic Ledger Hudson quickly turns into something more, but things take a turn when she finds out that her friend Trey - the man she was supposed to be hooking up with the night she met Ledger - is actually Ledger's half-brother. Further complicating matters is her wealthy parents' opposition to Olivia's choice to date someone from a blue collar background. But Ledger makes Olivia happier than she's ever been. Are they strong enough to face the challenges together, or will they only drive them apart?

I really liked both Ledger and Olivia and their chemistry was undeniable. They both made some boneheaded decisions early in the story, and if they had just communicated with each other they could have avoided a lot of problems. Even though it frustrated me while I was reading, I suppose I have to give them grace since they were still learning to navigate a new relationship, and their communications skills had improved by the end. They may not have been a conventional match, but they certainly made each other happy, and I was rooting for them the whole way.

Overall, "Flirting with the Bad Boy" was a fun opposites attract romance, and I'd recommend it for readers who enjoy dirty-talking heroes and lots of steam. I look forward to the next book in the series.

In book 5 of this amazing series we follow Olivia who we have previously meet as she is searching for a spark. She finds that spark with bad boy Ledger who just happens to be her best friends brother. We watch Olivia on a journey of finding and loosing herself multiple times throughout this book. She is so strong and meets Ledger toe to toe which is exactly what he needs. She also softens Ledger and he is her biggest support and it just makes your heart swell. This book was everything it needed to be to do these two justice and I loved it. I cannot wait to see where else this series takes this fun group!

[Candy Habin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I swear each book in this series just gets better and better! Olivia is a senator's daughter and socialite that comes from money and is used to the glitz and glamor. Ledger is a motorcycle riding, tattooed, bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks that happens to be best friends with Olivia's brother. While they may be opposite in most ways, their chemistry can't be denied. Ledger and Olivia's story is a fast-paced, fun, and lighthearted read that will draw you in from the beginning and keep you thoroughly entertained throughout the entire book. This is a sweet yet seriously steamy story that's low on angst and will have you swooning one moment to on fire the next!

This one started with a bang and just didn’t stop! This is probably the spiciest book I’ve read in awhile. Ledger and Olivia are from different worlds, but they don’t let that get in their way and they don’t stop fighting for each other.

[Nicole (NicoleIsBooked) · Rating 5 out of 5]

'Flirting with the Bad Boy' is such a sexy, fun ride! It starts off with Olivia asking Ledger to kiss her while they are at a bar. He is sitting next to her at the bar, but he doesn't know her! Olivia asks a complete stranger to kiss her, and when he does, it's the best kiss of her life! She doesn't get his name or his number, but she can't stop thinking about him. He can't stop thinking about her either!

She decides to go looking for him at the bar, and when she finds him, their chemistry explodes! I love that Ledger calls Olivia Duchess. It's such a sexy nickname!

Olivia and Ledger are definitely opposites: She's a rich, sunshine girl, and he's a tattooed bad boy who runs a motorcycle shop. Olivia is in for a surprise when she finds out that Ledger is her best friend's brother! That creates an added layer of drama.

This is a dual POV book, and it is very, very steamy! The spice is fantastic!

Read this book if you like:

Flirting with the Bad Boy is book 5 in the Harbor Highlands Series but can read as a stand-alone!

I have read the previous book in this series, Flirting with the Stranger, and devoured it!! I just knew this one was going to be no different! I absolutely loved the characters, Olivia and Ledger, in this book and loved them together! It had the most perfect good girl, bad boy vibes with just the right amount of spice! I loved that despite the drama they each faced they were able to make sure their relationship didn’t falter. This is a perfect summer read! It will have you laughing out loud and blushing at the same time!

I’m too excited for Flirting with the Scrooge releasing later this year! Definitely want to add this entire series to your TBR if you haven’t already!

This was my favorite book in the series! OMG SEXY, plus a lil drama but this bad boy had no problem swooping in and saving the day! Ledger definitely has everything required to be a swoon worthy bad boy; tattoos, a shady ex, a bike, and a cat…but wait until you meet his family! *insert wide eyed moment here* This book is full of surprises until the very end.

Another great book in this series!! I just love the sense of humor. I so needed the good laughs this book gave me. The banter and tension between Ledger and Olivia was great. They had such great chemistry. The description of Ledger made him sound so yummy. A tattooed bad boy, yes please! Then add in he has a cat, swoon! It's not all sunshine and roses because Olivia's parents are some unfavorable characters. Some ex drama for Ledger, but for these two the journey is so worth it. I so loved the tease for the next book and I can tell you I'm already excited about it! I would highly recommend this one because it's a book you are going to get lost in rather easily. The characters sucked me right into this one. The humor alone is worth a read!

Holy Ledger! Wow that man is fire!
Move over Van there is a new book boyfriend in town, and it is the rough around the edge's bad boy Ledger Hudson.
This book is my favorite so far because I liked that it wasn't the usual good girl falls for bad boy story line, there was actually more to it and a little more drama in this book then the other ones that I have read.
I love how Ledger was this bad boy around everyone else but when it came to Olivia, he was a gooey mess, I love when MMC's are like that.
I have loved every book that miss Gia Stevens has put out and I cannot wait for many more that she puts out including Flirting with the Scrooge!!!

[Shafira · Rating 5 out of 5]

The way these two characters come together is just *chef's kiss*. Going from strangers to lovers? Ugh, that's my ultimate trope right there. I can't get enough of it!

If you're a fan of romcoms, make sure to pick up this book – trust me, you won't regret it.

Spicy-spicy RomCom author Gia does it again. This is a fast read <300 pages and so good. You’ll laugh, fan yourself off, and google what a Prince Albert is. I mean, her opening note is proves how funny this book is “While writing this book I learned what STFUATTDLAGG stands for, so enjoy and your welcome” 😂😂

FLIRTING WITH THE BAD BOY is an opposites attract, best friend's brother, standalone spicy romcom.
