Bad Boys Do It Better #2

Bad Boys Do It Better 2: In Love With an Outlaw

Rate this book
Luke was the one man Janelle never saw coming but now that he's here, she isn't able to let him go. All the things she hates about him-- his massive ego, rude demeanor and unapologetic thuggish ways-- begin to be the exact things she realizes she can't do without. And he seems to have fallen just as deeply for her, the good girl he just can't leave alone. But when she confesses her feelings for him, will it bring them closer or drive them apart?

Carmella is miserable without Cree but has problems in Cali that are stealing her attention. But when the opportunity to return to New York presents itself, she flies back without a second thought about the consequences. Cree's focus is on never letting her get away again and everything is going according to plan until Carmella gets involved in something that threatens their new relationship. With her rising bad habits and new profession, all that is left for her to do is hope that Cree will, for once in his life, see things her way.

Sidney is back in the place she thought she'd never be again-- head over heels in love with Yolo. But this time, he reciprocates it the way that she always wanted, proudly showing her off as his girl. However, someone is not too happy about their new public love--- his ex girlfriend, LaTrese. With Yolo telling Sidney that LaTrese is a non-factor, she trusts his words, knowing he's never told her a lie. But when a new situation comes about, hitting Yolo right where it hurts, will this still remain true?

The saga continues in a way that none of these couples ever expected.

I love Outlaw's ole rude ass! As much as I understood why Janelle was hesitant it didn't stop me from wanting to chock her for being concerned with what others would think. Chris was a straight square with his bitch ass! Yolo needs to get his mind right and stop running every time LaTrese calls. I hope Sidney stays strong but I am curious about the pills she found. Cree was just as rude but I'm glad he's coming around. Carmella really needs to get her mind right and should've had better details on her supposed job. Learning about Kane pissed me off but Teema took the cake knowing she needed all the help she could get. I need somebody to handle Danielle because she was doing the most. Janelle's dad damn near sent me over the edge. I understand he wanted what he thought was best for his daughters but he needed to allow them to grow and make their own mistakes. I can't wait for part 3 because Outlaw seems to have changed for the better.

Brilliant

I'm sold! I was skeptical with book 1 but book 2 was perfect. The ending? The plot twists? I was at the edge of my seat anticipating what would happen next! It's well written and the characters are well-formed and coming together. My favourite is Luke AKA Outlaw he had so many funny moments. Then I like Cree AKA Dent. I'm excited to learn more about him. Then Kane. I want to see how his storyline develops too. I have high hopes for this series!

Yassssss Janelle

I really really really enjoyed this read. So glad Janelle chose with her heart and not worry about what everyone else thought. I'm dying to find out if Cree will learn about Camella little drug issue and about this porn situation, but I knew that Zeke couldn't be trusted. I like Teema and hope Kane get it right with her. I have a feeling Yolo going to fall into the trap and hurt my girl Sidney and I don't really want that to happen but time will tell. Can't wait for part 3 great job Porscha Sterling...

It's been a while since I've read the first book and I have no idea why I waited so long to read this one. These characters are entertaining as hell. I absolutely loved Outlaw and his brothers, Janelle and the rest of their women including all of the drama that comes with them. I am glad that Teema finally has someone she can count on because baby girl was struggling but she was doing what she needed to do. I hope that in the next book I get a little more of Kane. He seemed to appear in this story less than his brothers but now that he's a part of his daughters life I hope we get more of him. I need Carm to get herself together and not go down the path I think she's headed since she's already slipping and I need Cree to get her together. I really think he would be the one to straighten her out. I can't wait to see how things play out with Yolo, Sid and LaTrese. Tank and Faviola seem to doing them for now and who knows what's about to happen with Janelle and her job. This story was funny, steamy full of drama and it left me wanting more. I can't wait to read what happens next.

Loved it

This book was absolutely worth the wait. I really hate to see the Murray brothers leave.Especially without hearing about Luke and Nell wedding and Baby. This book as great as the first 3 part with some curve balls I didn’t see coming.
Luke did a total 180 since prt one and that’s what I loved the most. He brought Nell out her shell( a Lil) and she brought out a side of him that I do t think he knows was there.
Yolo shocked me the most with the way he handled LaTrese. Glad him a Sidney found they way back and she was able to come clean.

Overall the book was Great and filled with drama romance and laughter. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone!!

awesome read

Mannn this book was so on point!!!! I loved Luke at the end he was the perfect bad boy who gave in to love. I could read about him for days. I would love for you to dissect the love life of all the brothers because they are all worth reading about they are all so intriguing they would have my nose in the book definitely. Tank hiding his feelings for Faviola why? Yolo and Sydney are so cute. Teema and Kane would be interesting because he really ignored his child for a whole year and finally had a revelation to be around. Cree and Cam are interesting because when he finds out he has a coke queen will he stick by her side. great job with this series.

Wow...

Damnnnnnnn I didn't expect that ending but I sure can't wait to read part 3. I'm so glad that Jane n Outlaw got back together. They seem to be my favorite couple in the book. So now I'm wondering about Janelle's job as the DA n wat the heck happened to Chris. I was really glad when Kane got his act together n finally acknowledged his daughter. I'm so glad that now he wants to take care of her. I was really happy about that. I wonder if Janelle's father will come along eventually. Man I'm so excited about the continuation of this book. Great job! This book was lit! 🔥🔥🔥😘

Absolutely Superb!

I really can't say which of the Murray brothers I like because I love all of them, especially Luke. I just definitely love his bad boy personality. I also love the qualities I see in all the brothers now. Their sweet protective nature, their cockiness ,their intellectual smarts as well as their street smarts, how thuggilicious they are, the sexy swag and that dominant presence they all have when noticed. I love them all. Anyway this story teaches a great lesson from beginning to end. To stand-up for yourself and going after what makes you happy. This for me is a Great Read! ReneeG 👍

Great read

I admire Janelle for getting out of her comfort zone when it came up to her love life she needed to live a little and enjoy her life. As for carmell as she was cool in sll but she let social media get her caught up in something she had no clue about. All she seen was dollar signs and I hope she stop sniffing come in part 3. Did every time I read her part Ifelt like crying because dealing with men I can relate on how they treat her I hope she start acting a lil bit more femine

Okay.....the lawyer wants the love of a thug....

In society's eyes he is but Janelle sees Outlaw differently. The girl even defied her own father for her heart. I think this makes Outlaw my favorite brother so far. Can't wait to get too part 3 to find out how that worked out for her. Now Carmella, she should have known that friends brother Zeke was up to no good. Sasha tried to warn her too but all she saw was dollar signs and getting back on track with school. Yeah, hoping book 3 deals with this too.

A Bad Boy Love

Porscha Sterling has put a thug boy and good girl series together with her awesome pen game! Ever woman desires a good man with a little thug in him. But what happens when he is a all around bad boy that is intelligent! Would you go against the grain to be with the one you love? This is a must read to see what the ladies of the Murray brothers choose! I can't wait for Part 3

Loving this series because of the excitement, action and drama. Started off right where the last installment left off and so love relationship between the brothers, sisters and their friends, their bond and loyalty is unbreakable. Love how each character is developed and their growth and I see much more to come. Can't wait to see what's happening next for these lovable Murray brothers and their women.

What a man won't do

What a man won't do for love. This book shows how the Murray men basically flipped the script for what they held ideally for love. They stepped out of their characters and took themselves to another level. That ending was very intense, but I'm so glad that Janelle finally put herself first and her heart. She has to live life for herself and not based on what others want. On to book three.

You Are Going Love This!

The more you read about this dynamic group of people and their lives the more you are drawn to want to know what happens.There have been quite a few come to Jesus moments and they are going to change the way you look at the characters of this story.The writer continues to weave such a silky web and you want to get caught in it.So stick around to see what happens with Murray Brothers and the women they love.

Loving an outlaw

I really like them together. It's just something about Chris I don't like. Kane really surprised me...he had me smh and rolling my eyes at him. It's something about fav I don't like either. Carmella I knew something was up wit her boss. Out of all of them I loved outlaw and yolo the most

💛💛💛💛

I downloaded this series thinking I could read while on vacation, but I'm ready for part 3 now. I read this series in 2 days! Great storyline and I love all characters. I am interested in reading more about Kane or Tone. I wouldn't mind knowing Tone's story in more detailed. I kind of wonder what part 3 is going to be about now that everyone is happy.

Murray Brothers

To tell the truth there is no reason why I like this series. I can't pick which brother i like the best. But think Yolo is giving Sidney a bad deal. Let's see is bad for him. Carmella suppose to be smart but she didn't read the find print, Cree should wake the hell up. The only ppl who was it right is Outlaw/Janell and Tank/La

Loved it

Listen Luke is not trying to hear anything anyone has to say when it come to his Janelle. He has his mind made up & will not change at all. I’m glad Kane finally got his stuff together for his daughter. I feel a whole twist coming along with Yolo and Syd because that Mutt is not going to lay down nice

So....

I was really shocked to find out the connection between gunplay and outlaw but I guess I can see the resemblance lol. But my favorite Murray is Outlaw. It's always the craziest ones for me 😂 I'm glad Janelle stood up for herself and I KNEW Zeke was on that tip, I'm sure Cree is going to be mad though. Well let me go find part 3

I love the Murray Brothers!

I don’t know how she does it but Porscha has you rooting for the bad guys. I love these brothers! I think my favorites are Luke and Cree. But I can see some bad things on the horizon because this happiness has to be tested. I also knew Zeke was no good. Can’t wait to read part 3.

Amazing!

Listen Amazon you should not be allowed to make my review be at least 20 words!!! This series is so intense that I can’t wait to get to the next book, but I understand the importance of reviews. Excellent storyline and character development. I recommend this five star read to all that enjoy love stories full of twists.

Woohoo GOOD

So glad I decided to read this series and that I purchased them all at once. This story is sooo good and just flows together to the point I hated to put it down. I love all of the characters and how their stories come together. I laughed, got mad, wanted to cry and was rolling my eyes all through this book. I can't wait to start the next one.
