Preston Brothers #3
Bachelor Bad Boy
A Spicy Billionaire Bad Boy vs. Cinderella, Fake Dating Contemporary Romance
He needs a date. She needs a job.
With two of his brothers married and practically engaged and the oldest still in mourning, Avery Preston is now the focus of his family’s matchmaking schemes. He’s not ready for a girlfriend, much less a wife. Variety is the spice of life, and he’s taste testing his way through a vast menu. If only he could find a way to have his cake and eat it, too. The feisty redhead dodging his best moves seems as good a candidate as any.
Pastry chef Jo Hayes dreams of opening her own bakery, but her life has become a nightmare. The bank denied her application for a startup loan and her boss is one cupcake away from firing her. The last thing she needs is some billionaire bad boy flashing dollar signs and a sugary smile to distract her. He’s temptation with a capital T for trouble, and so is his crazy but lucrative offer. All she has to do is be his plus one at a few upcoming social events.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Billionaires + Bad Boys (F*ckboys)? These combo has slim chances to shed my tears. You know, they just vibes. But against all odd, the author manage to stir my emotions all over the place with this one.
Yes, I love my bad boys spicy, reckless, unapologetic. But when this one started catching feelings without even realizing it? The stolen glances? The constant push and pull that keep the tension alive? Especially the slow burn of feelings he doesn’t even recognize? Not to mentioned the guilt he felt over something that should be trivial for a typical f*uckboy? And then all those twists in between? Yeah… that hit hard.
And her? She's the whole package - smart, witty, strong and grounded. The kind of person who knows who she is and stands firm, even when they came from two world apart. And yes, the smut is smutting.
This story had me feeling way more than I planned and I love it. Im thankful to be given the opportunity to read this in advance.

New Plans on the Horizon
What a fantastically fun story filled with surprising depth that brought our all kinds of emotions. Avery is your typical playboy set in his ways, playing the field. However, he did not account for someone like Jo, talented and beautiful. The attraction between ignites as the tension pulls tighter. I loved reading every interaction between them and could not get enough. This was an excellent read!

Bachelor Bad Boy is Right!
Bachelor Bad Boy is the third book in the Preston Brothers series. Can this be read and enjoyed as a standalone? Yes, however you will be missing so much excitement if you don’t start at the beginning. The characters and events from the first two books carry through or are referenced here and you do not want to miss a thing!
Bachelor Bad Boy has the perfect mix of bad boy/good girl, angsty drama, crazy family, fake dating, supportive friendships and a little stalkery action thrown in. This is a well written, easy and enjoyable read with a fun storyline that kept me turning the pages for more.
Bachelor Bad Boy is an entertaining, contemporary, light-hearted book with a little danger, great banter and open-door spice (Avery is a bad boy after all). I am sure you will enjoy these Preston brothers and their fiery women as much as I have and I can’t wait for the next book. There are also a few side characters that I hope will get their own stories in the future!
I highly recommend!

Avery and Jo’s story is so good. Avery messes up so much—so cringing much. Jo has someone that will do anything to keep her from her dreams. Avery has someone that cannot let go of a casual hookup. They go through a LOT to reach their HEA. Worth every turn of the page.
