One night to try the forbidden fruit I'd always want to taste. No strings. No one to hurt me the next day.

I knew Zach Murdock. He might've done bad things, he might've been a real bad boy, but deep down, he was a strong person, a good person. A good man.

Kaylee Song did it again ! with her new book “A Real Bad Boy” (A Bad Boy Romance #3) she excelled herself again.
Zach and Willow were great Leading Characters for this story. Well developed and written this book paces at high speed.
I had my struggles because of their relationship developing at the same fast speed, but they were really good together. Besides the hot rollercoaster between the leads we also get interesting supporting characters, that deserve their own stories at given time.
The author draws you in with her compelling description of places and given the fact that there is actually some twists and turns the readers will not want to put the book down until it is done.

I received this book for free to give my True and Honest Review
OMG Kaylee has outdone herself once again with this actin packed fast pacing with some quite fast hitting story of the ever so sexy ex military mercenary Zach who had come back to town after one of his assignments away, all he wants to do is fight and find women. That is until he see's the girl from his past the one who's like a nemesis to him his cousin Ruby's best friend, Willow.
He decides he's got to have that one night that he didn't have when they were in high school. When Willow saw him she felt the same especially as she's not long got away from the most abusive and manipulator of the nastiest of them all because oh daddy dear is a senator and he had money the ba***ard Elijah.
But heck you know how your lives go when you plan something you believe you want. It never goes the way you plan in your head.
I wouldn't mind that actually forget that my life went the same way with a soldier the only difference was I hadn't known him and held not a bad arse lol. They become each other's saviour and he does save her a few times and she saves the demons that lerk inside of him.
This is one hell'v'a beautiful I'll say exiting love story

I loved this book because the characters come across as real and believable. The emotions are real and true. I couldn’t stop reading this book because the MC are that good.
Willow is rebuilding her life after leaving her ex-. He abused her and she is just now getting back on her feet but her ex doesn’t want to let her go and is after her. Willow only felt safe with one person and this was from a boy from her childhood –which happens to be her best friend Ruby’s cousin.
Zach is trained mercenary, also former army and he doesn’t like it when wife beaters do what they do. When he learns Willow is back in town, he remembers her and his deep feelings for her. He realizes he needs to get her out of his system if he cant keep her in his life. Zach isn’t sure what he wants with her and he isn’t leaving until he knows for sure so he gets a temp job in the meantime. This is one hot man who has it bad for his woman—who, by the way, doesn’t know he is making these decisions yet.
Zach realizes he needs more from Willow , more than that one night provided but Willow needs space to figure out what’s going on after the hell she has been thru, especially now that her ex has found her and is ready to cause trouble. But her heart and her body craves Zach and she really wants to believe he would stick around. One night starts to lead to more but ya know how it is, past and present danger causes friction and danger for the MC- will they ever be able to get back on track and have a life together? There is several twists and turns in this story that I didn’t see coming. There is also a sub story going re: Zach’s new boss –Would love to see a book about him. The story regarding him that was worked in was separate from the whole Willow’s stalker ex in this book so get ready for the ride of your life. The characters are fantastic, the action is vividly described and the passion is fleshed out and highly potent in this story. Willow and Zach are wonderful, which is what makes this 2nd chance love story beautiful.
My rating: 4.8 stars *****

WOW... Kaylee has written one hell of a story with this book! It contains literally every emotion you need for a kickass read!!!
Willow is best friends with Ruby and has been for years. Ruby helped her escape from an abuse relationship and has always has and always will be there for her, even when Ruby's cousin, Zach is back in town. Willow has 'crushed' in Zach for about 10 years, and when she sees him in a bar, all those feelings come back to the surface!
Zach is a trained mercenary, ex army and a body that can make a woman weep! He doesn't do relationships because his job is too dangerous and he has to keep focus. That is until he spots Williow, and after 10 years of denying his feelings, he decides that enough is enough... He wants her and nothing is going to stop him.
The sex is off the charts hot and the more time they spend together, the more they want together. As their relationship grows so does their feelings, but things are never so simple...
With twists and turns from an amazing author, making the perfect story, everything they go through will make you fall in love with the characters that little bit more. But will they get their HEA after all the years of wanting? Or will evil from the past rip their love to shreds and keep them apart forever? A definate 10/10 read that will keep you engrossed from beginning to end!!!

Holy crap Kaylee... I dont think there is a single book that I have read by this author that I have not fallen in love with. I freaking devoured this book in a very short amount of time (I'd say one sitting but with my twins I cannot sit and read for hours on end without some distraction/interruption)
Who doesnt love a man in uniform especially a hot ass one like Zach. Willow and Zach went to school together and back then Zach use to teaser her and give her hell all the time. Little did Willow know he was crushing on her to back then but thought she deserved better. Now Years later and hes back and hes taking what he wants and what he wants is Willow. They agree to one night but will one night be enough?
Willow is just getting out of a relationship with a controlling and abusive ex. She needs a fresh start and she never expected Zach to come back into her life.
What happens if one night is not enough? Is Willow strong enough or will one of their pasts come creeping into their lives and threaten to take it all away?
Find out when you read Kaylee's book i promise you will not be disappointed its a hot adn steamy must read.

Kaylee Song has weaved a story of two broken people searching for the impossible... a love strong enough to put the pieces of their broken hearts back together. A Real Bad Boy is raw, gritty, heartbreaking, intense, painful, intriguing, emotional, hot... keeps you turning the pages. Once you start reading, you won't want to put it down.

This was an entertaining story. The pace stayed fast and the characters were interesting. In addition to the H/h falling in love, there are two separate plot lines. Zachary has returned to his home outside of Atlanta after serving in the military and then as a military contractor. He's hired for his personal security skills to the young and rich, Leo. At the beginning of the story, Zach runs into his cousin's bff, Willow. They grew up together with the classic pulling her pigtails and picking on her because he liked her. Willow has also returned home after leaving an emotionally and physically abusive relationship. One of the plots is her ex not really getting the message she broke up with him. Although it starts out as one night, Zach immediately knows he wants more from Willow. I liked Zach's soft side when it came to Willow. He's a bit of a hot head and sometimes all over the place playing a badass, but when it came to her and realizing his feelings, I really liked those scenes.
The other storyline follows Zach's new boss, Leo. Leo is looking for the person who killed his fiancee two years ago and how and why has it been hidden all this time. I really liked this thread of the story and felt like it could have been a separate book of its own to be more developed and focused. I'm crossing my fingers we get a book about Leo. I think it would be great to get more into his character and see him move on with another woman. Aaaand... I really hope that someone will be Ruby, Zach's cousin and Willow's bff! I really liked her a lot!
One of the things I like about Kaylee Song's storytelling is the way she incorporates the city into her stories. It may be because I've lived or spent a lot of time in the cities she features, but it always adds an extra personal element for me. She captured Pittsburgh perfectly in the Fire and Steel series, and she does a great job adding the neighborhoods of Atlanta into this one.
I'd give this one a 3.5 and am hoping Leo and Ruby will be future stars of their own story!

Willow and Zach have a past. He's back now, only he's a mercenary, and when he sees Willow again, othing will keep him from having her and protecting her from the danger that surrounds her. And then there is the need to protect their unborn baby. I love these books that Kaylee writes for us, she makes you feel the story and draws you in and I just can't put them down!!! This by far is my favorite of hers!!!!

Yay! This one worked for me. Willow and Zach's somewhat insta-love was believable since they had a history. They grew up together and his cousin is her BFF. It had all the elements I have been craving lately - bad boy with a heart of gold, heroine that's not annoying or TSTL, suspense, a crazy ex-boyfriend that gets put in his place. It's a quick read, with relatively low angst and more about relationship growth. All good!

Zach + Willow = SIMPLY PERFECT
Zach is a mercenary, ex-military, that enlisted in the army right after he lost one of the most important people in his life ...his mother. He simply felt he had no reason to stay. He through everything he had into helping the military bring down bad guys....While a kid all the way into high school he teased Willow and simply put it in his mind she was too good for him and he he couldn't go down that road but years later they are brought face to face again in a bar and they simply give in to one night thinking they can both get each other out of their systems....but Zach is left with an after taste that he can't quiet get rid of and that's he wants more of Willow....one night simply wasn't enough. He can't quench his thirst of her. Willow tries to look at Zach as the mean boy who constantly teased her growing up and declared to herself he was a playboy that she had to stay away from....but desire gives in and she wants one taste of the forbidden fruit...wants to have one night with Zach. Willow tries to move past their one night .....recently coming out of an extremely abusive relationship with her ex Elijah she focuses on building her life back and simply taking the reigns and gaining control over it herself vowing to never let another abusive, mean guy come into her life again.... Zach has a violent past....has killed many men but Willow realizes she wants more of him regardless. She knows he would never hurt her like Elijah did...... They begin to see more of each other but soon realize things are never simple and are thrown into a world of chaos. Zach takes on a local security job intel that soon involves a bigger crime raid than expected, Elijah resurfaces and brings fear back to Willow, and Zach and Willow gain news that will forever change them...but in a good way.
Kaylee throws us into a scenario that is more common today that one realizes. This isn't so much as a story that takes us into another world..this is more reality than anything. SO many women are being taken and abused/murdered with no trace at all. So many women are in abusive relationships with men of power that they lose sight and gain a fear like non other. Everything these two go through through this entire story...their strengths, their weaknesses, their vulnerabilities and their passions will make you fall even more in love with them. Kaylee write's a depth to this book that isn't in the others. She has simply out done herself with this one making it by far the best she has ever written. They both get their HEA but it comes with sacrifices that simply brings their love to a whole new meaning at the end. A must read.....

February 20, 2016This is the first book I have read by Kaylee Song. I have to say that I hope to be reading more of her books. I loved this book and thought she did an AWESOME job of writing it. She did an awesome job of not letting the main characters get lost in the story. Plus she also did a great job of describing each character in appearance and their character or personality. Let us not forget that she had some many plots and twists going on that kept you on your seat. Things get so tense you just cannot put the book down.This is a definite must read and i highly recommend it to ages 18 and up because of mind boggling sex and violence.
Willow Ford has moved back to her home town of Atlanta in order to escape from a violent and very abusive DICK (boyfriend). Her friend Ruby helped to get her out of the situation and helped to hide hide her, not to mention helped her to get a job teaching even though that isn't what Willow wanted to be doing. Willow goes to a bar for a drink and of course who does she run into but Zachary Murdock, the one guy she had crushed on in High School until he left. Willow thinks she is safe with Zach having her back. Is she? Can Zach protect her from her crazy EX?
Zach"s cousin Ruby adds her own flair to the story as well. You can't help but like Ruby for trying to protect Willow, and for letting Zach know what she will do to him if he hurts Willow.
Zach is a mercenary, soldier, and a ruthless man in his own right. Being what he is Zach is very seldom in town and did a lot traveling because that is where work led him. He is kicked out of one bar for fighting only to go to another one for a drink, then he turns around and there stands the one woman he never could get out of his head, and he had every intention of doing that, that night! Zach is having thoughts of staying in in town because that is where his home is and so is Willow. He takes a job a body guard and head of Security for a billionaire who wants the murder of fiancee solved even when the FBI and the police can't seem to solve it. Zach is the only man that the billionaire thinks can solve the murder, but by doing so it puts everyone in danger. Can Zach do his job and solve the murder of Leo's finance, and keep Willow safe too?

I have to say Kaylee done it again with this story. She brings it all in this book and there is no way you will have any questions at the end. This book is filled with so much and it will keep you on your toes.
Zach is ex-military after joining the army when he graduated school. Nobody knew the real reason for him joining except for his best friend Willow. Zach was and still is the bad boy but now protector when it's someone he wants. He gets a job working for a rich guy and this could be his break for not always leaving and when he starts working for him, he decides that he will no longer hide his true feelings for Willow. Only Willow has some secrets and a evil ex who is after her, now Zach will stop at nothing to make sure she is safe and with him forever.
Willow's heart broke when Zach left for the Army and didn't come back. After graduating she decides to move away and ends up in a relationship with Elijah who is an evil man. After escaping the abusive relationship she returns home to start over. She has her best friend Ruby to help her through it all. Now Zach is back and Willow doesn't know how to feel about that but she does know that all those feelings she had for him are back full force. She decides to give into Zach for one night thinking it would be enough however she wants more than just that night. Willow has to share her secrets with Zach and also let him know that Elijah has returned to stalk her & take her back. She'll stop at nothing now to protect herself and also the man that she wants.
This is such an amazing story. The characters show a connection that is strong and worth fighting for. The love forms between them and it grows stronger each day and when their love is put to a test, they'll make sure that both of them fight hard to keep it. Overall, a book that is filled with so much but enough to make you hooked and love the characters.
Great job to the author, I highly recommend.

Zach is home after a long time away. He was always on a mission, always following someone's orders, never finding any peace. He just wants that, that quiet call of home if only for a little while. He also has some unfinished business at home and she comes in a witty, ball busting package.
Willow is putting her life in order after the disaster that was her last relationship. She wants to find herself, be herself and move on. And then Zach comes into the bar. Zach, the kid who used to make fun of her, her best friend's annoying and hot brother.
One night, that's the plan. Get it out of their systems, let go of the wondering and move on. Neither is looking for anything anyway. Neither want a relationship
"I just wanted to feel him, wanted to feel this. It was my brand of poison, the one thing that took me to a place where I didn't have to worry about anything." ~Willow
"There was something about her breathing, about her body next to mine. It kept at bay all of the shit that I saw in my dreams." ~Zach
Then one night turned into two. Zach takes a job as personal security in the area which will keep him home a bit longer. Then two nights turn into three. Willow's past is not going to easily let go. Three turns to more. Zach is looking for a killer and Willow's life is getting more complicated.
This was a good story line. I was interested in what was going to happen. Everything moved quickly and there was not a lot of stalling. Willow had a great personality and she had definitely overcome her past. She is a girl who knows what she wants and was not afraid to say so. Zach was strong, a bit broken and despite his appearance has a bit of a soft spot. These two were fun to watch together and there were even little surprises along the way. This was another solid story from this author.

This was such an outstanding story; it was absolutely mesmerising and had lots of different facets to keep me totally enthralled. Willow has finally escaped from her abusive ex-boyfriend, Elijah, and is sitting alone in a bar. Zach is looking for both a woman and a fight, when he notices Willow. They haven’t seen each other in years, but she was the one who got away and he wants her more than ever; he could tell she wanted him, she just didn’t know it yet. Willow has been in love with Zach forever; he knew that and he used it – just like he was using it that tonight to pull her out from Dillions. Still the real purpose of the night was to let loose, let go of all her inhibitions – she knew it was a mistake, but she didn’t care, she wanted to be owned by him. She wanted to feel something more than anger, sadness and loathing. Zach wanted to see if he could get little Miss Good Girl to be bad. What is supposed to be just one night for both of them turns out to be something quite different, something quite unexpected, but nightmares haunt them both. Willow knows Zach might have done bad things, might have been a real bad boy, but deep down he was a strong person, a good person, a good man; she knew who he was, what he was, and trusted him completely. In the meantime, Zach and his team have been employed by Leo Chance, who is looking for information that will lead him to the person who murdered his fiancée; this particular part of the story is quite intriguing as we are lured down unexpected paths to find the truth. This book has so much to offer the reader, and I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending it. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Gifted a copy of this book for an honest review.
Kaylee Song has the ability to create stories and characters that make your mouth water for more. In this bad boy romance she has definitely outdone herself.
Zach is the epitome of a bad boy. He is a mercenary and is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Zach doesn't stay in one place very long he returns to his hometown periodically but always leaves for a job. The one woman that may change his thinking is a blast from the past that he never expected to see again. He has always kept his real feelings for her hidden under sarcasm or just giving her a hard time. When he discovers the real reason for Willows return he is shocked, angry, and a fierce need to protect her overwhelms him.
Willow has come home after an abusive relationship with her best friend Ruby's help. She is trying to find herself again without her ex's influence. What she didn't expect is the impact that seeing Zach again would cause her. She has always had feelings for him but she knows he doesn't see her that way. One night starts to lead to more but her past has found her again and brings danger to her door.
Zach is a controlling man with a darker edge the difference is that he would never harm a woman. Make her walk funny yes... but hurt her never and he is not going to stand by while someone else does.
Terrific storyline with plenty of heat and even a few surprises.

Where to start, you go through whole host of emotions reading this one, but boy is it worth it in the end. Willow and Zach knew each other in high school, but as always life throws some tragedies and every plan is thrown into chaos. The life Zach had planned out was thrown into turmoil upon the death of his mother, so he abandons everything and everyone and enlists. Willow hasn't had a great life either, parents divorcing means she inevitably becomes invisible, so she leaves town to go to college. But after being trapped in an abusive relationship Willow comes back home, with the help of her best friend Ruby (who is also Zachs cousin). She is starting to live again, she has a job and a place of her own. She gets involved with Zach and while they really needed to sit down and talk to each other, life just seems to get in the way. The heat between the two characters is hot and I love the way he just wants to protect her. No spoilers here, but needless to say there are some nail biting moments but obviously the hero always wins, a true hea.
I loved this book, the side story about Zachs boss and his own turmoil was well done. Would love a further one about Ruby, possibly Leo, hint hint Kaylee.. Thie is definitely worth a read, you won't be disappointed, although personally I never have been with one of Kaylee's books.

The phrase that went through my head is..." I may be a read bad boy, but baby I'm a read good man!" And he is! Two kids that knew each other years ago. Both left town. One came back to be close to her best friend and escape the worse kind of nightmares. The other comes back to look for a local job for a while. One person in common Ruby.... BUT more in common than that.
This book is really good. Kaylee Scott has a way with writing characters that draws you in. Willow does not have the best instincts with men and she knows it. Well really MAN. She has only been with one man and he did not turn out to be good at all. I will let you read the book to find out how bad he turned out being.
Zach left high school straight into the military and has been into one branch or the other since then. He is a hired gun per say. He doesn't think very highly of himself but one thing he does think about is Willow. He remembers he and he still wants her.
This book has mystery and lots and lots of heat. It is one very good read. I was gifted this book for a honest review. I honestly highly suggest you read this book!

Kaylee Song new book A Real Bad Boy was gift to me in an ARC in exchanged for a honest review. I am giving this book 5 stars because Willow and Zach story from the beginning to the end was just one crazy beautiful roller-coaster . Zach is one twisted scary ex soldier who has done some bad things for his country, and who has done some ugly things because its apart of his job. He knows that he is a trained killer who sometimes works for bad men, but in his line of work it all depends on where the money takes him. But when he sees the girl that he has always wanted everything for him changes. Unfortunately Willow has just got away from her creep of an ex, so right now she is trying to start over and just heal. But once she sees the man she has always burned for she knows that she has to have him. They both agree on just one night of passion that turns into a lifetime. I loved this book because this couple had to go through some hard times and struggles before they could get there happy ending. And the way the writer brought them together in the end was just so amazing. It was like finally they both found there happiness. If you have not read this book you should check it out.

LOVE THIS BOOK!
Willow Ford had been in an extremely abusive relationship with Elijah for years. Finally, with the help of her best friend Ruby, Willow finds the strength to walk away. She has known Zachary Murdock since high school. In fact, he's Ruby's cousin. They haven't seen each other in years but that hasn't stopped them from thinking about each other. Even though Zach used to tease Willow relentlessly. They happen to run into each other again at a bar. One night, that's all they need. One night together to get each other out of their systems. But can they do that? Can they both just walk away after one amazing night together? Or does fate have something more in mind for these two? Is it even possible for Zach and Willow to find love? Or will their pasts finally catch up with them? This is such an incredible story. The chemistry between Zach and Willow is amazing. The plot twists and turns will keep you gripping your Kindle until the very end. I absolutely love every one of Kaylee's books. This one is, by far, her best work yet.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
Even though the book is fast paced, it took me a little time to get into it. The hero and heroine start the story with history. The problem is, we're not really privy to that history. We get tid bits of information about how he treated her when they were younger, but it's not enough to consider it an actual back story. And, without a back story, the connection comes across more as insta-love than anything that took years (and a childhood) to build. Had the story went a little more in depth into their past, it would have gone a long way in giving me a solid feel for their relationship. And, I'm one of those people that enjoy the connection between characters, that can feel their love before they profess it to one another.
Otherwise, I enjoyed the story. Good plot and interesting hero. The heroine had her issues, but considering the situation she'd recently left, it was understandable and didn't make her weak. A good 3.5 star read.

*** Received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review ***
The writing is rich and intelligent, and the characters are well developed without being overdone. I love this author writing with all the plot twists, turns and secrets it took to developed the story line to rolls through the pages leaving the reader on edge until the book ends. This is the story of Zach Murdock and Willow Ford, who had a crush on each other since high school but never acted on it until a one night stand. Zach is a true alpha-male with a protective instinct and I truly love this guy, who is a hired soldier, mercenary and BAD TO THE BONE. Willow is the best friend to Ruby (Zach's cousin) and damsel in distress running from an obsessed, abusive ex-husband( Elijah). Once Zach and Willow relationship begin to develop, all he** breaks loose...I won't go in to details because I don't want to give the book away. You should get this book and be amazed!

A Real Bad Boy by Kaylee Song was a hot and fast-paced novel that kept me glued until the end.
Zach Murdock is a mercenary who gets hired as a bodyguard by billionaire Leo Chance, but it ends up becoming more than a simple bodyguard detail when he helps Leo investigate the murder of Leo's fiancée that occurred two years prior.
At the same time, Zach meets his old crush, the girl who got away, Willow Ford. She's back home in Atlanta after leaving her abusive ex-fiancee. One night, they meet in a bar and what was supposed to be a one-night stand becomes so much more.
A Real Bad Boy was a great story that was action packed with the murder investigation and the return of Willow's abusive ex. It was also filled with hot scenes between Willow and Zach that I definitely enjoyed. Both characters were well-written and I liked the back-story for each which made them more engaging.
Overall, it was a great read and I very much recommend.

Willow was just getting out of an abusive relationship. She is getting her feet back under her feet and learning to stand on her own. She has found her own place and a job. Her childhood crush comes back into her life and she is not sure she can let him in. Zach is muscle pure and simple. He is hired to access the situation and protect his clients and make sure everyone comes out alive. He is a killer. He went from the Army to mercenary work to now the private sector. Zach wants Willow but he is not sure he can have her for more than a night; he has nothing to give. He finds out Willow is not out of danger and everything changes. Zach's work takes a turn for the interesting. I love that Kaylee set this book in Atlanta and got it right!

Another great read from Kaylee. She has brought us yet another bad boy for us to enjoy reading about.
Zachary and Willow are both characters that draw you into their story. Both only thinking that they would just satisfy each others needs for one night turns into more then that. After they spend a few nights together they quickly fall to each others charms. Zach is more of a tough guy and hard headed then Willow thought, she doesn't think he would feel the same way about her as she does towards him. His job keeps him occupied, but Willow is always on his mind. After a few turn of events he realizes that he isn't as tough as he thought he was when it comes to Willow.
This book has a great story line to it and the plot quickly has you turning the pages to see what is coming next. I am looking forward to the next installment to this series.

*I received an ARC, in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed every second of this book. It was thrilling and suspenseful, with plenty of naughty times. This story is told in dual first-person narrative. Personally, I favor this type of narrative, as it gives us insight into the personality and behavior of the characters.
Willow is struggling to regain control of her life. She ran away from an abusive
Ex-boyfriend. No longer willing to be subjected to his depravity, she returns to her home town.
Zach is a ruthless mercenary, who is committed to his one-night stand rule, until Willow.
Willow and Zach start to rebuild their lives, with new job opportunities and an unplanned pregnancy.
Together, they will fight to bring the corrupt to justice.
This was an exciting read, and a definite reread for me.
