Sometimes the only decent thing to do is block your own c*ck…
Former Marine Colton Brody may be the local “bad boy,” but he knows his little sister’s best friend is off limits. (Even if Olivia’s curves inspire an endless supply of fantasy fodder.)
With only a few days until he leaves town after the holidays, this bad boy is determined to resist temptation. Until sweet, innocent Olivia makes him a not-so-innocent proposal.
Matter of fact, it’s an indecent proposal.
Now Colton can’t think about anything but giving it to Olivia in every filthy way she’s asking him for.
And why not? What better way to say goodbye to his hometown than with a week between the sheets with the sexiest woman he’s ever known?
But what happens when friends-with-benefits becomes something more? Something Colton isn’t sure he can live without?Formerly published as The Bad Boy's Temptation Trilogy. Same steamy story, fun new title and cover.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Jessie Evans, gave up a career as an international woman of mystery to write the sexy, contemporary romances she loves to read.
She's married to the man of her dreams, and together they're raising a few adorable, mischievous children in a cottage in the jungle. She grew up in rural Arkansas, spending summers running wild, being chewed by chiggers, and now appreciates her home in a chigger-free part of the world even more.
When she's not writing, Jessie enjoys playing her dulcimer (badly), sewing the worlds ugliest quilts to give to her friends, going for bike rides with her house full of boys, and drifting in and out on the waves, feeling thankful for sun, surf, and lovely people to share them with.
Olivia Page has moved home to Lover's leap Colorado and right back in close contact with her best friend's brother and her teen crush. She is literally a walking disaster and often seems to find herself in precarious situations. She's trying to live a little and start a new life in her home town.
Colton Brody is a wounded Marine vet turned firefighter who is working hard to rejoin the Corps. He's got plans and they do not involve staying home or having a relationship. But he finds a spark with her. And they are both craving a bit of sexy times, but don't want attachments..or don't think they do...
A fling...a set expiration date...no feelings...no change in their friendship or with his family....It can work, right?
She's a good, sweet, goofy girl, but lets her wild side free with him. They share a witty rapport and humor. He's serious, focused, and likes control, but she distracts him and brings out emotions in him. He's always been a playboy and has never been the type to settle down. He lives for adrenaline and does not let anything stop him. He's got a bit of a bad boy edge, dirty talking mouth, but is finding out that he has a weakness too.
Will they find a way to make it work or will they crash and burn?
This was a fast, sweet, funny romantic read. I laughed out loud at some of the antics and humorous situations. Olivia and Colt were funny and likable. I could feel their connection and chemistry. I liked getting both of their points of view.
The side characters especially her friend and his sister, Daisy and their brother, Tucker added comic relief, ass kicking, and advice. There are a few more brothers, Blake and Dylan, and a cousin Seth who could also be the subject of more books in this series. The brothers especially all seem to have women problems and Daisy seems to have her own issues as well.
ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review. Note: The Bad Boy's Temptation Trilogy was previously published as Good Girl Vs. Bad Boy.
This was a fast-paced, quick and easy read with plenty of steam and a bit of drama thrown in for good measure.
Olivia has returned to Lovers Leap to take over her sisters shop following her passing and literally falls into the arms of her childhood crush, Colton, who just happens to be her best friends older brother.
Colton is preparing to return to the marines after injury forced him to early retirement and isn't looking for a relationship, or even a fling, let alone with someone so close to the family. Sadly, he's no match for the proposal Olivia tosses at him and he very quickly succumbs to temptation.
While these two have known each other since childhood, it was very much an insta-lust/love situation. There were fun times had by all, and the coffin race fascinated me to no end. The sexy times and dirty-talk had me fanning myself and I did overall enjoy the book. As I said earlier, it was an easy read, heavy on the light, with minimal drama.
TRACY'S REVIEW 4 STARS Olivia returns to her home town after her sisters death. Promising herself that she is going to start living carefree and live in the moment. That's is when her child hood crush walks back into her life. Colton Brody, hot, muscled and an ex marine. With the possibility of Colton reenlisting there is only one thing Phoebe wants to do. Have a hot, no strings attached fling. But what happens when one wants more then just the fling?
What I liked most about this story is that is was very real. The characters were easy to relate to, and their "relationship" was realistic in every sense of what a fling is. But like most realities one person tends to develop more feelings for the other one. This story was no exception.
Whats not to love about a hot, muscled marine and where can I find one? Yeah..I would love me a hot marine.
GINA'S REVIEW 4 STARS
This book is the perfect mix of funny, sexy, and sweet! There are so many laugh out loud moments between Olivia locking herself out of her house, turkey bowling and the coffin races, it will leave you with tears in your eyes!
I really loved reading about a hero who wasn't physically perfect. Colton was a Marine, he has scars and injuries because of that but the author embraced those. That just make him an even better hero. Olivia was hard not to love. I don't know how a girl could have so much bad luck. It followed her around like a shadow! That just made for some pretty funny moments.
This was a fantastic feel good book. It's light-hearted with lovable characters. This isn't the type of books that is full of drama and angst. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
A good story. I’m glad I read it all at once though. It wouldn’t have made sense in three parts. Also, I haven’t listened to many fiction books that were read by the author, but this was the first time it worked. I loved Both Lili’s writing and her narration.
I read Girl Good vs. Bad Boy and loved it so I was excited when I found out it was going to be turned into a serial series. And to have Lili Valente in on the action, I knew it was going to have some added heat...
Olivia has had a crush on her best friend's older brother since she was a pre-teen. She hasn't seen Colt since she was fifteen, and he was eighteen headed off to the Marines. But, now they were both back in their small hometown, and Olivia is not a kid anymore. She is a woman that knows what she wants. And she wants him. Even if it could only be for a few months...
Colt swore off women the minute he found out that he could return to the marines. He needed to concentrate on his training and not on drinking and hooking up with women around town. But right now, the only woman he wants is off-limits. Olivia is his sister's best friend. The one he has known for his whole life. He could see that look in her eyes. The one with naughtiness behind them. He also knows he would break her heart. And maybe his own. He was leaving in a few months, and wasn't planning on coming back anytime soon. But when she proposes a deal, will he say yes?
Like I said, I loved these characters from Good Girl vs. Bad Boy and with the added touches, I love them even more. The writing has different style to it even when it's the same story so it was not just a repeat to me. I am also really bad about remembering details so the cliffhanger is still a cliffhanger to me in some way. Ha.
I can't wait to see how the next book heats up. And it's not just sexy but it's funny as well. Damn, humping unicorns.
***BOOK 2***
The Bad Boy's Seduction is the second book in the Bedding the Bad Boy serial series. It was originally a full-length novel called Good Girl vs Bad Boy, which I read and loved. And that was before Lili added her naughtiness and made it even steamier. I am a fan of novella and serial series' so I was excited it was re-worked with some added yumminess...
It starts exactly where the first book ended. With Colton spiraling. Not only because of Olivia either. She might be the unluckiest girl he has ever known but she is lucky when it counts. And he needed that at the moment. Anyway...Colton wanted Olivia but he also didn't want to hurt her. She might have given him the go ahead if he wanted a friends with benefits relationship but he is not sure if she could handle that since he was leaving in a few months. But without her knowing it, he was tempting her and he couldn't take it anymore. He wanted her naked. Throughly sated. And wanting more...
Colton made Olivia feel safe, sexy, beautiful, and powerful. She felt alive. She knew this relationship wasn't going past the bedroom and it wouldn't even be that in a few months but still wanted him. Over and over again. But when mixed signals come into play things start to feel real. Can they keep this casual, ruin their friendship or go towards more?
I love Colton and Olivia. They are so funny, flirty, and filthy! The added scenes were perfect additions to the story. There is a dream scene that made me crack up and get hot and bothered at the same time.
Overall...it's a sexy, fun, and fast read. And now, I will go and read the conclusion!
Quotes:
“Don’t you dare laugh at me, Colton Brody,” she said, pointing a warning finger at his chest. “Or I will never forgive you. Now go away and leave me alone.”
Nineteen eighty-two called. It wants its shorts back.
“Penny for your thoughts,” he said, leaning down to whisper his next words near her ear. “A dollar if they’re dirty.”
***BOOK 3***
The Bad Boy's Redemption is the third and final book in the Bedding the Bad Boy serial series. I read the series when it was a full-length novel called Good Girl vs. Bad Boy. That was before Lili added her touches and made it even sexier.
It picks up right where The Boy Boy's Seduction ended. Colton and Olivia are about to get dirty! They have had a few fun days of friends with benefits sex but feelings are creeping in. They are both scared, and excited at the same time. They don't know what the other is thinking. The last thing Colt wants is to hurt Olivia, the sweet girl turned sex kitten. He is suppose to leave soon but he doesn't want to leave her. Will he choose love over the marines? Or will he find a way to have both?
This series gets sexier, sweeter, and funnier as it goes. Humping Unicorns, coffin races, and some hilarious moments in between and even hotter ones. I am really hoping for some spin-offs. There are some characters that would make some great stories.
Quotes:
“I’ve imagined you like this, with your hands over your head, holding on for dear life while I take you.”
“These ladies are my secret weapon,” Colt said, jabbing a thumb over his shoulder at Olivia. “Especially this one. Don’t let the pigtails fool you. She’s fierce.”
“You. Cooking. Naked.” “It reduces you to one-word sentences?” she said, fanning the lasagna again, simply for an excuse to make her breasts bob from side to side.
BOOK 1 -- I loved Good Girl VS. Bad Boy which was an original release by Jessie Evans. Now her erotic alter ego, Lili Valente, has taken the story in hand giving us The Bad Boy's Temptation turning up the heat and making me love it even more, and I didn't believe that was even possible.
Colton has spent his life preparing for and becoming a Marine. It's all he wants to be and all he knows. But after being discharged due to a serious injury, he returns to his home town to heal and takes a job as a firefighter. But his focus remains on proving he can return to serving his country leaving him no interest or time for relationships or affairs of the heart. Olivia has been crushing on her best friend's big brother for as long as she can remember. When she is unexpectedly rescued by him, falling straight into his arms, all the old emotions begin to resurface. Only now she is a grown woman lying in his strong, sexy arms. Despite his realization that the gorgeous woman he just saved is his little sister’s best friend, he begins to feel a stirring of attraction as well as a connection with her which he has never felt before. In spite of the fires igniting between them, they both agree a "lovey-dovey" relationship isn't what they are looking for. But when Olivia offers Colton an unexpected proposal, he loses focus which leaves him pondering a different kind of relationship with this spirited, beautiful woman.
The chemistry between Colton and Olivia is electrifying and brought back all the memories of why I loved these characters the first time around. A sexy hot Marine/firefighter and a sweet but spunky young woman really make this a fun, entertaining and super-sexy read. In typical Lili style, in the end she has left me hanging in a nail-biting moment greatly anticipating where she will take their story and wondering how much more sizzling it will get.
BOOK 2 -- The Bad Boy’s Seduction picks up Olivia and Colton’s story right where we left off. With their undeniable mutual attraction hotter than ever and continuing to grow in leaps and bounds, neither Olivia nor Colton can ignore their growing passion. Once taking their relationship to a physical level, the connection between them begins to escalate despite their insistence that what they share will be nothing more than casual fun. Soon both Colton and Olivia begin to fear that “casual” may not be possible as Olivia’s longstanding crush grows even stronger, and Colton begins to realize that Olivia is touching his heart in ways he has never before experienced. Will they be able to fight the escalating allure they feel for each other or will their hearts ultimately end up broken?
The banter between Colton and Olivia is so much fun and very entertaining, and the hot, sexy passion they share practically sets my iPad aflame. As with book one, we are once again left wondering whether this couple will finally admit to each other their true feelings and let go of the uncertainty that continues to keep their love at arm’s length. I am excitedly looking forward to Lili and Jessie’s finale of this humorous and enjoyable story and can’t wait to see where Colton and Olivia’s true passion for one another will lead despite their attempts to conceal the depth of their connection.
BOOK 3 -- Bad Boy Redemption is the conclusion to Lili Valente and Jessie Evans' Bedding the Bad Boy series, and as I have come to expect and anticipate from them both, was an fantastically fun and sexy finale. The chemistry between Colt and Liv continues right through to the end as they bring forth from each other feelings and emotions they had never before experienced with anyone else. It was fun to see the "bad boy" show he had a sensitive, loving and caring side that only Liv could bring out, and on the flip side how the “good girl” expressed her uninhibited sexual passions which was something only Colt could draw from her. But as they both continue to feel themselves falling deeper in love, they wonder whether they will ever be able to stop. Though Colt has always seen Liv as a sweet good girl, now that he has tasted her passion he is certain he will never be able to let her go. But will Liv ever know for sure that Colt's heart truly belongs to her or is he simply just passing the time before he once again leaves home to return to the Marines?
As with the first two books in this series, the fun and entertaining banter between these characters continues once again making me literally giggle out loud. The undeniable connection these two souls have seemingly always had has finally clawed its way to the surface intertwining their hearts forever. This collaboration between Lili Valente and Jessie Evans has made this a definite must read. The support characters also bring more fun to this story, and I'm hoping we will see more from this series as I have loved spending time with them all.
You can't get better than Lili Valente and Jessie Evans collaborating in The Bad Boy's Temptation. Olivia is back in town for a new start. The last person she thought she was going to run into is her childhood crush and best friend's brother, Colton. Colton is everything that Olivia remembers and more. After being discharged from the Marines, Colton's one and only focus is to get back into that life. He isn't looking for anything or anyone, No distractions. That is until SHE comes stumbling into his life. All he can think is about HER. Olivia is tired of playing safe, she is ready to go for what she wants. She wants Colton. When she offers pleasure with no strings attached Colton is caught off guard. When did Olivia become so bold? Will Colton take Olivia up on her offer?
The chemistry is heating up in The Bad Boy's Seduction. Colton and Olivia's attraction is off the hook. Neither can deny that they want each other, but Colton is fighting it. He thinks that Olivia is too sweet and pure to get mixed up with him. Little does he know, the good girls are the ones that are the wildest. Colton finally gives into Olivia's advances and he finds that it isn't going to be as simple as friends with benefits. Olivia is so much more. His feelings towards Olivia are stronger than he expected, more than he wants or needs since he is leaving. He even finds himself getting angry with Olivia's easy going attitude towards their relationship. Little does he know that she is feeling so much more. Olivia is trying not to take what Colton says to heart, she doesn't want to be disappointed once again by a man. However, neither can stop what they are feeling, but too scared to admit it to each other. I love Colton and Olivia's playful relationship. She has the right amount of innocence mixed with sexiness and Colton's dirty mouth.
The Bad Boy's Redemption is the final book in the Bedding The Bad Boy Series. Colton and Olivia have been hooking up and enjoying each other. During this time they both started to develop deep feelings for one another, and they finally admit it to each other. Colton however is holding onto a secret, a secret that can destroy what he built with Olivia . Before Olivia, all Colton wanted was to get back into the Marines. But now he is torn on what to do because he knows what he has with Olivia is a once in a lifetime. Olivia has finally let down all of her walls and is ready to give herself 100% to Colton. Will the secret that Colton is keeping destroy Olivia? Will Colton and Olivia have their happily ever after? I am a die hard fan of falling for your best friend's brother and Lili Valente and Jessie Evans knocked it out of the park. Colton and Olivia's relationship was so sweet and refreshing but also steamy and hot! Loved watching Colton's sweet and sensitive side, and Olivia's hot. sexy, kitten side. They each balanced each other perfectly and I couldn't get enough of these two.
I'm addicted to serials and cliffhangers and Lili Valente is the Queen. It's hot, sweet, funny and addicting. Olivia is back in town after being gone for a while and the first person she runs into is her best friend's brother. Her childhood crush. Colton Brody is still the same sexy, bad boy he always was. He's back home after being discharged from the military, working as a firefighter. It's not permanent and he's just waiting to go back. Colton's not looking for any emotional attachments to this town, so he can leave free and clear. But, seeing Liv again and dreaming about her is making him think. And, when she proposes a no-strings-attached friends with benefits, he can't deny he wants her. Bad. Let's hope he gets the chance to decide! I love cliffhangers! The Bad Boy's Seduction picks up exactly where The Bad Boy's Temptation left off! Colton and Olivia have crazy chemistry and he really thought he was going to be able to resist her. Nope. Not going to happen. He convinced himself that Liv is just too good and sweet and innocent. But, as soon as he gives in, he realizes she's a very bad girl. The sex is steamy and has Colton almost regretting his decision to leave town. Olivia has to remind herself that this isn't love, it's just sex. But, they both can't deny the feeling swirling around them. Unable to admit them even to themselves. I love Colton and his dirty, filthy mouth! Liv is funny and sexy and quickly learning to ask for what she wants. I can't wait to see how it ends! The Bad Boy's Redemption is the final book in the Bedding the Bad Boy series. I love this series. Hard! We pick up where we left off. It's hotter and funnier. Colton and Olivia know things are about to change and they are both scared. He's about to leave soon, but he can't help but profess his love for her even though she might not be on the same page. When his romantic side comes out, Olivia can't deny that her crush has turned into more. But, will Colton's secret keep them from finding their happily ever after? Will Liv's bad luck finally win? I loved this series! I laughed out loud, cried and got hot and bothered. Nothing sexier than a dirty talking, hot man! And, Liv is awesome. I want to be her friend! She's tough, funny and sexy and bossy.
"I don’t know exactly. It's never happened to me before. But I think it's called falling in love."
"I like you period." He sighed. "All of you. Under all of me. Wet and hot and calling my name in that sexy voice when you're about to come."
Loved this book right from the first page. Laughing so much at work while reading that I had to explain myself. Then almost couldn’t even do that as explaining what was making me laugh made me laugh even more! Completely loved the authors’ style of writing and will definitely be checking out what else she has written.
OMG what else can go wrong for Olivia within minutes of waking up!?! But hey if it gets you half naked into the arms of your hot high school crush – who only seems to have gotten hotter – then it can’t be all bad.
Olivia is back in her hometown Lover’s Leap and can’t wait to start over fresh again after the death of her sister. Her plan is to set up a shop and try to live life to the full, with no regrets, like her sister would have wanted her to. She seriously has some bad luck though with falling off things, which is where the lovely Colton comes in to the rescue. He seems like just the right man to try out her new no regrets, live life to the full way of life on.
Colton is back in Lover’s Leap after being discharged from the Marines having been wounded in action. For over a year now he has been bidding his time and trying to get back in shape so that he can go back into the marines. While at the same time also being a fireman – he can rescue me any day! That has been his plan and nothing and no one is going to stop him. Well that is until Olivia falls into his arms not once but twice in one day. She definitely knows how to make a lasting impression (humping unicorn pj’s will do that). When she says that she is just looking for some fun while he is still in town he doesn’t know whether to jump right in or hang back, as he gets the feeling things will never just be simple between them.
Neither is looking to start something serious but they can’t deny the chemistry between them. Olivia definitely knows how to get under Colton’s skin and once she is there he starts to think that he wants her to stay forever. Once they start down this road nothing will be the same again – so sit back and hold on for a fun bumpy ride.
Completely fell in love with the town they live in – frozen turkey bowling, coffin races – I so want to live there, just brilliant! Fantastic characters, loved their personalities, I have to say they are some of the best I have read. Funny, fantastic, smouldering hot read that is going to warm you up on a cold winters day, so enjoy.
A Review of Bad Boy's Tempation by Lili Valente Battle of the sexes - 5++++ stars
After her sister Kelly's death, Olivia has moved back home from Chicago. She was always the good girl, while Kelly was wild and lived BIG. Now she wants to live her life the way Kelly did, with no regrets. Colton is her best friend's older brother that she has had a crush on most of her life. Colt wants nothing but to prove himself so he can get back into the Marines. ********************************************* A Review of The Bad Boy's Seduction by Lili Valente The laughs continue - 5 stars
We pick up where the last book left off, when Colton fell and was heading into the frozen lake, with no way to stop himself. He has resigned himself to the fact that he is going to end up in the frozen lake water and could be taking his last breaths. I laughed out loud when Olivia ended up saving his life by throwing herself at him to stop his momentum and then she almost chokes to death.
There are a lot of very hilarious situations between these two, that makes you wonder if they are just full of bad luck, such as the stuck zipper. You definitely will want to read this if you like fun along with your sexy times. I just love the writing of this storyline and look forward to the last part of their story. ********************************************* A Review of The Bad Boy's Redemption by Lili Valente Community - 5++ stars
Again, we pick up where the last book left off. Colton and Olivia are heading back to her house after their evening with his siblings and turkey bowling. I love the idea of this town, they seem to have a lot of fun things going on and getting the community together for different things. However, Olivia thinks that she has the worst luck, especially when Sir Licks-a-Lot comes out of hiding in the middle of the night and she ends up stepping on him. This book has plenty of sexy times as well as a lot of laughs along the way. I just love the way this storyline unfolded.
Sexy marine...humping unicorns...artisanal awesomeness...all out hotness!!
Loved this trilogy. This way you get to go from one to the next and enjoy all its gooey goodness!!
Colton Brody is a sexy former Marine who is looking to get back into the armed forces and Olivia Page is his younger sister's best friend who he has known for ages, but hasn't seen for about ten years.
Their first meeting as adults is hilarious and the sparks fly immediately. A friendly competitive race turns into a racy bet and then a dramatic end that you'll be clamoring for book 2 to find out what happens. So you can dive right in.
Colt and Olivia's relationship heats up in Book 2 and both have stronger feelings than they are willing to admit. It's tough to fall for your best friend's brother who is leaving in two months. What's a girl to do? And for a guy who loves 'em and leaves 'em - he's not used to having such strong feelings. Friends with benefits is getting complicated.
My favorite lines from this one are:
"...drizzle that will make my taste buds explode with appreciation for their artisanal awesomeness.” “You know what kind of panties I like? Panties that are on the floor.”
In Book 3, Colton has started to realize that his feelings for Olivia are more than "friends with benefits", but Olivia seems determined to keep them on the casual side of things.
We meet Sir Licks-a-Lot in this installment and it's probably not who you think it is which adds some humor to the confusing and complicated romance of Colt and Olivia. Eventually - the real world crashes in on them and the time comes for Colton to decide if he is going to go back to the Marines and/or try and stay in Olivia's life.
Misunderstandings get in the way, but you have to believe it will all work out for this sexy former Marine/firefighter hero and his sexy humping unicorn pajama wearing woman.
The moment I noticed this cover I was instantly pulled in to read the blurb. A good girl going up against a bad boy she’s known her entire life, count me in. What I did not expect was the raw emotion that Jessie Evans would give us as well. This book absorbed my full attention from start to finish. I just had to know what went down next.
Luckily, Jessie Evans gave us as much funny as hell and hot and steamy as she did serious. Her lead Phoebe just couldn’t keep herself from getting into one funny predicament after another. I was constantly wiping my tears from laughing at what Phoebe Page said or did. Jessie Evans did a fantastic job at keeping this story fun with some real life situations tangled in the mix.
The moment these to crash into one another after not seeing each other for years had me rolling. What woman would want the man she has crushed on since she was a child to catch her in his arms only to have him not know who she was at first? I was mortified for Phoebe and laughing my butt off at how it went down. Poor girl is all I can say.
Falling in love with your best friend’s older brother should not have been in the cards for Phoebe Page, but she just could not help it. Even when she knew what a player, Colton Brody was. But chemistry is chemistry and these two had it and then some. I loved when they tried to deny their feelings.
The scene with Sir Licks-a-Lot had me laughing so hard I could not breathe. I will never forget that scene. NOT EVER!
I may have not known who Jessie Evans was before this book but she most definitely is on my radar now. I cannot wait for book two and more crazy family shenanigans.
This was a cute, friends to lovers story. It was funny with a side of hot n' steamy.
Olivia has come back to her hometown, Lover's Leap, looking to get a fresh start after her sister's death. Olivia is there living in her late sister's house and will be taking over her shop as well. It seems as though Olivia has a bit of a clumsy side, or is it just everything happens for a reason?!
She is just back to town and having issues with the heater in her aging house, she goes outside to address the situation. When she realizes she is now locked out... standing their in her pajamamas and slippers! She attempts to crawl in through a second story window; when she slips and is now hanging upside down, granny panties hanging out, eye to eye with her high school crush ( and BFF's brother)! Could this get any worse?! Colton, doesn't recognize her at first and gives her a hard time about breaking into the house! Finally he helps her right herself and then realizes who it is.
Now, if just this doesn't have you laughing, well it gets better! Olivia and Colton are like fire and ice. Colton is the playboy, love'em and leave' em type, who is only in town temporarily. Where Olivia wants nothing to do with a player. Eventually she decides to throw caution to the wind and try out this "no strings attached" idea. Will it work?! Or do feelings get in the way? I guess you'll have to read the series to find out! Muhahahah!!!
This was a super cute story with lots of laughs and plenty of steam... My God Colton! I highly recommend this series. It's a great for a quickie!!
The Bad Boy's Temptation Trilogy is an amazingly sweet love story. Olivia has returned to her home town to take over her late sister’s store, and Colton is back home but trying to get back to active duty in the Marines after the loss of one of his legs. Daisy is Olivia’s best friend and Colton’s sister. The three of them were thick as thieves when they were younger and Olivia had a serious crush on Colton. Now as adults, these two have some serious chemistry…so the question is will they act on it , will they just be friends with benefits, what will happen if Colton goes back to the Marines, and how will her best friend react. This was another amazing story by Lili Valente. Love Olivia and Colton!!!
This was a great trilogy. Kind of like a long book. The characters were the same throughout. The Valente-comedy was there is full force. The story line was excellent and the way Lili tells a story, you feel like you are right there. Colton and Olivia and the additional characters, Colton's family, make for a fun book with not only humor and romance, but a touch of the personal dynamics of Colton's family and the small town. Lili Valente not only writes wonderful stories, but is also an awesome narrator. I wonder which came first, the writer or the narrator. I don't know if it is because she wrote the book, but she does an excellent job narrating. Loved the whole package.
This was a three in one book about the love of Colton and Olivia. Olivia is back home due to the death of her sister where she runs into her old time crush, Colton. They grew to love each other after making a 'friends with benefits' agreement. We all know what happens, they fall deep in love. I enjoy this story line, the characters, sexual tension and sex scenes. This was a good reads.
