The Clark Brothers #1
Do Bad Things
When did Mr. Wrong become Mr. Right?
My mother is dying. Without the experimental trial she’ll succumb to her cancer. Our bills are out of control and I’m desperate. Desperate enough to accept a mysterious, sexy stranger’s inappropriate proposal. The terms...
My body is his to do as he pleases.
He doesn’t care about my pleasure.
I say yes and I get paid.
Deny him one time and it all ends.
I should stop what I started, but it didn’t take long to become addicted to his forbidden touch. Now all I want is for him to do bad things...
***
Jameson Clark spiraled out of control years ago. Drugs and alcohol nearly ruined his life but somehow he managed to get himself back on track. His career as a political consultant is at an all time high but his personal life is lacking. Old habits die hard but the addictions that almost killed him must stay buried. He needs an outlet. Something to take the edge off. Sex. Unattached, no commitment sex. He’s found the perfect candidate for what he has in mind.
Struggling legal intern Cecilia Keller’s world is crumbling around her. College debts and her mother’s medical bills are more than she can handle. Working hard seems to be getting her nowhere. No matter what she does she can’t manage to get ahead until an intriguing stranger with a tormented soul makes her an improper offer. Straight up sex. When he wants it and how he wants it. Nothing else. No small talk, no dating, and definitely no intimacy. No one has to know he’s paying her.
As the unlikely pair move forward neither expect for their arrangement to turn into anything more than what it is. When Cecilia becomes infatuated with Jameson she knows he can never be the one she can turn to. What happens when she breaks one of the terms of their deal? Can Jameson walk away without looking back? Just who needs who?

These were the rules when Cecilia agreed to be Jameson Clark's Mistress :
1.) MY BODY IS HIS TO DO AS HE PLEASES.
2.) HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MY PLEASURE.
3.) I SAY "YES" AND I GET PAID.
4.) DENY HIM ONE TIME AND IT ALL ENDS.
Cecilia is 22 years old, she's a legal intern with a ton of college debt plus her Mother's medical bills. Her beloved Mother has cancer and if she doesn't participate in the expensive medical trial she will likely die. Jameson Clark is 30 years old, he's a Political Consultant with his own successful firm. He's been clean from alcohol and cocaine for two years and he has no intention of falling off the wagon. His only vice now is sex but instead of things being complicated he finds a woman and makes a business arrangement with her - sex for money. Cecilia is desperate to keep her Mother alive so she agrees to Jameson's terms. He has no clue why Cecilia agreed to be his but he knows she's not the type to screw just for money. What happens when Cecilia develops feelings for Jameson ? This book was good and it would've been rated higher if a whole fucking year didn't go by where they were separated. I like a book where the man has some balls and actually fights for his woman and does not take no for an answer.

Review Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars.
He let the only real thing he could be addicted to slip through his fingers...
I received an Advance Reader Copy for Do Bad Things written by Ella Jade and voluntarily reviewed this book. Jameson Clark has held his addictions at bay for the past two years while he made his political consultant business a raging success on Capitol Hill, but now he needed a new outlet, something discreet, and when he spies the shy beauty Cecilia Keller, he offers her a chance in a lifetime to get her out of her financial predicament, and she grabs it with both hands, anything to help her mother battle cancer.
Their meetings for pure sex have now become routine, but Cecelia is finding herself more and more addicted to Jameson and being with him, not just for his money. But Jameson feels the same, and he now feels he wants more with Cecilia, but that was never in his plans. Jameson does the one thing he feels is right, though, and that is to set her free.
Good story, with Jameson who has had everything he has ever wanted to indulge himself with come so easily to him, who suddenly realizes that he doesn’t have what really mattered in his life. I look forward to his brother Miles’ story as well!

At the beginning of this read it was hot & steamy which immediately peeked my interest and as the story continued I couldn't get enough of Jameson and Cecilia. When Jameson realized he wanted another chance with Cecilia but the right way, I MELTED at his declarations, his romancing, his honesty and what he was prepared to do to get Cecilia back in his life. If there ever was a book boyfriend he would be in the top 10 but not only that, Cecilia was the perfect compliment to him, her sassiness, what she was willing to do for her mom and how at first she was timid to being with Jameson but blossomed when she realized he was the one.
What a read by Ella Jade with amazing characters but also the sparks, chemistry, hardships, heartaches, all the emotions that you can't help but feel when reading as it jumps off the pages at you. What I loved loved the most about this read is what Jameson didn't do when they were apart for the year, wanting only one woman during that time and then his brutal honesty so he could be with her....swoon...sigh...swoon. Amazing, steamy, hot, sensual read that I would highly highly recommend.

Fresh and frisky
Jameson is a powerful, successful man and a recovering alcoholic and drug abuser. He decides he needs to have brief sexual encounters with no connection to decrease his tension. He sees Cecilia working and decides she is the one to fill his needs. Cecilia is in debt and is dealing with her dying mom. She willingly agrees to be his relief and an
agreement is put in place. Jameson keeps their encounters short and to the point but after each encounter he felt restless. He realized he was developing feelings for her and stopped their encounters. What follows is a heartwarming story of two lost souls redefining their relationship and their unique journey. Faith, trust and honest communication mixed with sizzling sensuality make this a wonderful story with strong characters.

Redemption and love ....
Jameson needed his redemption and finding CC gave him the strength to keep away from the bad influences of his past. CC needed someone to be there for her in her saddest time and Jameson did that. Then he got a conscience and they parted. But when love bites - even if you don't actually recognise it is love - you know something is missing from your life and you seek it again. Jameson came calling again and CC, finding her inner strength, allowed him back in her life. Bad things happened but they got over that and found what they needed. Damned good read - will definitely be keeping my eye out for the next story about Miles. Will certainly add Ella Jade to my authors to read list.

Ella Jade has done it yet again I love her writing she has a way of sucking you in to the stories and making you feel as if you are a part of the story and this read was no different. Cecilia's mom is sick and she will do anything to get the money she needs to help her mom and cue Jameson's role in Cecilia's life with an indecent and naughty proposal. Both these characters need each other and it takes some ups and downs to help them realize this.

Great read! Jameson and Cecilia were perfect for each other. Unfortunately their timing wasn't right the first time; they each had their own personal hell they had to get through. The love they shared and the devotion they had for each other was heartwarming. There was a minor twist but that didn't stop them from loving each other. Looking forward to seeing more of them in the next book! *I voluntarily read an advanced copy for an honest review.*

Jameson and Cecilia had amazing chemistry throughout this book. A powerful political consultant, Jameson finds himself falling deeper for Cecilia, despite his best efforts to keep things strictly business. Cecilia is struggling to pay for her mother's medical bills, yet she also can't stay away from Jameson. What happens when she breaks the rules? I loved the steam and intrigue of this romance; it just drew me right in!

Cecilia and Jameson
Fantastic plot and great writing. This book had me hooked from the first page. Jameson is a billionaire fighting demons from his past and the only way to have peace is when he is with Cecilia, a young woman he pays to meet him for sex. Until he finds her reasons fir meet him and taking his dirty money. The plot is so great. I love how there is no room for misunderstandings between them because they actually communicate. Highly recommended

This was such a great book! It pulled me in from the very beginning and I didn't want to put it down. Cecelia and Jameson's story took me on an emotional rollercoaster. They were perfect together and I was rooting for them the whole time. I am looking forward to reading Miles' story next.

It started out as a sex for money relationship. Then time passes and the “bad boy” has it bad the girl. He was professing his love for her and wanting to start over. Which, of course, she agrees because she felt something special just like he did. Are you getting the idea here? That’s why I didn’t finish it.

Wow this is a book that gets you hooked into the storyline and characters from the beginning. There are times when I got teary eyed, others when I was laughing ... you really get close with these characters and I can't wait to read the next book in this series!

I volunteered to read an advanced copy of this book. I almost didn't read this one, but so glad I did. CC and Jameson don't have it easy and that makes you keep turning the pages. I cried and cheered for them. Looking forward to reading Miles's story.

This will not disappoint....
This book had everything. A story with a good plot. Likeable characters who have a good relationship. Nothing like a little Romance and suspense to make a good book.
I will diving right into book two.

Another wonderful book by Author Ella Jade. I loved this story. I couldn’t put the book down. I just kept wanting to read more and more and more. I love the characters and their connection. So excited for the next book so get some more insight into Miles!

3.5 stars
Decent plot and characters, going over a span of time that makes sense. Wasn’t very emotionally involving, though. I was a little surprised the “stomp off and run” and didn’t happen, which was pleasant. It kept my attention.

Honestly, I was set to hate it
Based on the blurb, it sounded like a typical douchey alpha male story but ended up redeeming itself fairly quickly. I was pleasantly surprised.
