Bad Love #2

Bad Intentions

Rate this book
Lo
Moving to River’s Edge was supposed to be a fresh start.
Away from chaos.
Away from bad influences and worse relationships.
All I wanted was to give my little brother more of a chance than I ever had.
It should’ve been simple.
I didn’t count on my transgressions following me.
And I definitely didn’t count on meeting Dare.
Tall, tortured, and tattooed.
A Lost Boy through and through.
Falling for someone like him was asking for heartache.
But I was a sucker for punishment.

Dare
I had a routine.
Eat, work, sleep, repeat, only ever doing the bare minimum to keep up appearances.
I kept my circle small and my guard high.
I spent years making sure I didn’t repeat the mistakes of my past, forming an impenetrable layer of ice around my heart.
Then Logan showed up in my town, in my tattoo shop, testing my patience along with my self-control.
She was fire and I was ice.
I should’ve stayed away.
But I had been cold for far too long.

I. Loved. This. Book.

Bad Intentions was everything I didn’t know that I needed right now in a book. This book is filled with swoony moments. It’s filled with sexy as fuck moments, that will leave you sweating, because they are just that hot. It’s filled with emotional moments that left me with all the feels.

Lo is a heroine that you will 1000% root for. She is so amazing for so many reasons. God. I love her.

Dare. This mysterious fucker. I could say so much about him, but honestly going into this one blind on him makes it so much more enjoyable. But damn I love him hard.

The side characters take on a life of their own, and make me want more more more of this series and the people in it!

Bad Intentions kept me interested from the very first page. Everything that goes down in this book feels so simple while somehow also being complex and intriguing. What can I say? This is just a good ass read.

((While I do think this can be read as a standalone... if you’re someone who MUST read a series in order, then you need to go read Bad Habit, book one in the Bad Love series, now in order to be ready for this one. Go. Now.))

MY REVIEW can also be found on my blog:
KITTY KATS CRAZY ABOUT BOOKS

BAD INTENTIONS: Is the second book in Charleigh Rose’s ‘Bad Love’ series. In this we meet tattoo artist Dare and Logan aka Lo. Spoken in ‘Dual Perspectives’

What happens when fire meets ice? Fire wins. Every time..

This was one of my most highly sort after books and I couldn’t wait to get my grabby little hands on it.

Running away with her brother from a drug addict mother and an ex who wasn’t what he seemed, they make their way to their estranged fathers place at River’s Edge, hoping to settle down, hoping for a better future.

Finding a job was the first hurdle, but there were so many potholes in the road that kept on rearing its ugly head each time they thought nothing else would unsettle their new found happiness something else would be thrown in their paths. Twists and heartbreaking turns had my heart reeling for these characters.

Our hero Dare, is a standoffish tatted up mysterious guy with a heartbreaking past just like our heroine Lo both have scars within, having no one else to lean on or help them in any shape or form they connected on such a beautiful emotional level, both lost souls that find each other, imperfectly perfect for each other.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Right from the start Lo and Dare had such an undeniable attraction towards each other, Lo's feistiness had Dare reeling in her wake, he didn't know what to do with her, didn't know what hit him when she came into town. Slowly but surely she breaks down all his defenses, Beautifully broken, and all his walls slowly come tumbling down and we see what once was a closed off Dare in his place is a guy that loves deeply and protects those he cares about like his life depends on it.

These two like no other characters before them will swoop in unexpectedly and will capture your heart and soul.

even better than character redemption? AUTHOR REDEMPTION!

it's no secret that i loathed bad habit. it was every horrible NA cliche wrapped into one cringey book. so i was so pleasantly surprised that this was pretty freaking good & honestly a complete 180 from rose's first book.

we've got the "damaged" tattoo artist dare, and lo who has never had anyone to rely on. lo escapes her shitty life and finds someone who actually cares. i really liked both of the main characters. i was honestly surprised at how nice dare was... he was protective but not an alpha male douchebag.

and he uh... was a very generous dude if you catch my drift. which is refreshing. i don't give 2 fucks about some dude getting repeat hummers, but i don't mind some repeat lady part loving.

and lo was a great big sister & just relatable in general. besides her being ~gorgeous~ i kind of related to her personality & physical description so that was nice too.

all that being said, the plot wasn't GROUNDBREAKING and i wasn't like IN LOVE with anything. i read through it quickly, it kept me intrigued, and it was a nice read. but i will probably forget about this after i finish writing the review. c'est la vie.

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Type: Standalone Book 2 of Bad Love series
POV: First Person - Dual
Rating:




Logan (Lo) Shepherd desperately needed a new start. Together with her brother, she was hoping to cut ties with their troubled past. But little did she know what's waiting in the new small town might be another new set of trouble.

Dare was the resident loner people tend to give wide berth for. The tattooed bad boy rather sink his teeth into his work at his tattoo shop than deal with the general population. That was until the new arrival started to melt the ice prison he built around himself and he had to decide if he was ready to be thawed.



My broken boy. Doesn’t he know he’s not really broken at all? It’s everyone else who’s flawed.


Dare was the epitome of an angsty hero. His sexy brooding persona was very appealing to me. But beyond his hard facade, laid a gentle and caring heart.

Fairytales are for princesses, I remind myself. Not ghetto girls from Oakland. But right now, in Dare’s arms, I can pretend. Even if only for a while.


Lo did not have it easy in life. Even though she was young, she had a level or maturity when it came to taking care of her loved ones.



I love both of them individually and together. They had a connection of having a similar background and their chemistry scorched between the sheets, on the table, against the wall... well you get the idea :p

She’s been here for a couple of weeks, and she’s bringing shit out of me that I thought had died long ago. Conflicted doesn’t even fucking begin to cover it.


The secondary characters were all very interesting. However, there were a lot of them and it took me some effort to understand the dynamics between them, yet there were still a few relationships I couldn't figure out the significance. It could possibly because I didn't read book 1. I like the overall storyline even though the ending felt a little rushed.

Maybe we’re just using each other to escape reality. To feel good for once. The only difference is, I deserve this life. Lo doesn’t.


Bad Intentions is a story of making changes in one's life. It would appeal to fans of sexy NA Romance.

ARC BOOK REVIEW
Release Date-30/4/18

So I really bloody loved "Bad Intentions" like so so much.
It was my first book by this author and I was really impressed with its ability to reel me in and keep my attention on target throughout.
This has to be up there as one of my top contemporary reads of this year.
It was such an unexpected gem, taking me completely unawares and I am immensely glad I got the opportunity to experience this great piece of romantic fiction.
So I really connected with both of the main characters here.
Finding both Lo and Dare, to be in themselves such inspiring and down to earth individuals that I couldn't help rooting for them all the way.
First "Lo" herself, she had such a grown-up responsible attitude to life.
A total product of her upbringing.
Having to be a mother to her brother and take on such big responsibilities at such a young age has definitely shaped her character, in a very positive way indeed.
Then there is Dare, his past still impacting on his present and future.
Closed off in a way that is not healthy he is totally unprepared for the whirlwind that is Lo entering his well-ordered small-town life.
Lo looking for a job to support her family wanders into Dare's Tatoo shop and as these two connect for the first time, the match here is lit sparking a red-hot attraction that is as inevitable as it is hot.
And these two sure do set the pages alight with their raw chemistry.
There is nothing major shocking in "Bad Intentions" narrative this is more about love, life, trust and loss and two lost souls connecting on a much deeper plain.
There is plenty of drama and humour here also to keep the reader engrossed, alongside a fabulous supporting cast that does a great job of also keeping things fresh and interesting.
This is told in dual POV and at heart, it's "Bad Intentions" ultimate simplicity that actually calls to me and though part of a series, this, in my opinion, can totally be read as a standalone.
I did and followed along easily.
Thank You to the Author for providing me with an ARC of "Bad Intentions (Bad Love)" of which I have reviewed voluntary.
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Title: Bad Intentions (Bad Love #2)
Author: Charleigh Rose
Genre: Romance
Publication date: April 30, 2018


ARC
If you've been following my reviews, you'll know that Bad Habit (Bad Love #1) was one of my favourite New Adult book for the 2017. So, it's really no surprise that I pounced into this one ....I am not ashamed to say that I read this book in one sitting...I forgot to eat, I missed an appointment but I had no regrets!

Bad Intention is beautifully written. It's utterly captivating!
I loved Lo! I love female protagonists who are smart, hardworking, witty and sarcastic without being annoyingly over-smart/ know it all; Lo is just that! I love her sarcastic witty comebacks, her strength and her will to carry the burdens on her shoulder without moaning on and on about it.

Dare. Who doesn't love a tattooed up alpha male, right? Dare is, to be mildly put, HOT! I sound like a broken record but I love male characters that are silently beautiful; Dare is broody, quite yet very observant and very thoughtful. Let's be real here and say that once you meet Dare, you just want to give him a big giant hug and say "you big oaf! you are so hot but you shatter my soul apart with your mysterious ways". hahahaha

There is absolutely no denying the fact that Lo and Dare have an incredible chemistry.
I was honestly a little apprehensive about this book because I loved the first book so much... but the author has written a beautiful book!

Bad Intension is intriguing from the very first chapter. This book is hauntingly raw, it captivates it's reader with all the emotions one would hope for in a book. But mostly of all, it's about family and love.

Lo and Dare are beautiful together. Their story is resilient and you can't help but root for them to have an happy ever after...with a whole load of sexy!

Happy Reading!

I've read the first one and enjoyed it so much. But my memory is beginning to get worse.. So I was thinking who is Dare? But it slowly came back to me.

I enjoyed this one very much, because it was what I needed! I like my bbf as alpha, a little "bad", good with banter..

There was a saying that I felt like this is so true! Many people do it not even knowingly. "Don't compare tragedies". Everybody does it and some feel like they can't talk because theirs isn't much of a tragedie. But for everyone a tragedie is different and they are all bad!

Bad Intentions is my second Charleigh Rose book and I am beyond addicted. She writes emotional, sexy stories that come to life off of the pages. The characters pull me in quickly and I keep finding myself with tears in my eyes, while I watch them try their hardest to find happiness, hope, and love. This book was smile inducing, crazy seductive, emotional and I can't recommend Bad Intentions enough! While this book can easily be read as a standalone, I highly recommend starting with Bad Habit. It's about Dare's friend, Asher, who you have to meet! You can read my review of that book here.

“Aren’t small-town folk supposed to be welcoming, and I don’t know, nice ? You don’t have to be a dick about it.”
“Okay.”
“Okay?” Who the hell responds with okay?
His lackadaisical response only frustrates me further.
“Okay,” he repeats. “I’m a dick. You’re an asshole who can’t take no for an answer. Glad we’ve established that. Nice to meet you. Now, if you’ll excuse me…”

It's always just been Logan, aka Lo, and her younger brother, who is a senior in high school. Their father abandoned them and their mother was an addict. Lo and her brother, Jesse, just had each other. And I loved how deep their love ran for one another. It was one of the countless gems in this book! In desperate need of a fresh start, Lo tracked down their father and moved her and her brother to the mountains to live with him.
We’re all flawed, selfish humans doing what it takes in order to survive. Myself included. - Lo

I loved Lo's voice and it felt like she spoke right to me, she was brutally honest and a realist. Even though life could be rough for her, she continually pulled herself together to take care of her brother. Lo had a heart of gold and was beyond resilient. I had so much respect for her. Even though it looked like life was finally starting to turn around, shadows from her past hung in the background. And we got to see exactly how tough she was when it all hit the fan.
Don’t ask her if she’s okay. Don’t ask her if she’s okay.
“You okay?”
Smooth
.

While out searching for a job, Lo ran into Dare, who owned the local tattoo shop. To say he turned her down for a job would be an understatement ha. It quickly became obvious how tiny this new town was because no matter what happened, they kept finding themselves near each other. And what started out as a rough meeting, lead the way into Lo and Dare messing with the other. They made me laugh so hard because it was playful, but at the same time it was also seductive. While they toyed with each other, it was obvious that there was a carnal attraction that ran between them. But as time passed, they slowly started to become intertwined into each other's lives and whatever was between them turned something else. Lust. Friendship. Feelings. And more. It all swirled together and was insanely addicting and hot as hell.
I decide that even though I don’t deserve her, I’m too fucking self-serving not to take the only thing that offers me peace. The only thing that allows me to feel warmth when I’ve been cold all my life.

I was obsessed with Dare. He came across as a closed off jerk, and you know how much I love those guys. But we eventually got to see all the different sides of him and he had such a beautiful heart. That heart caused me to have tears in my eyes a few different times. You see, he became protective of Lo. He stood up for her. He helped her out. He was such an amazing man. Yet while he was thoughtful for others, he was his own worst enemy at times. His past haunted him. Just like Lo's did too. Unfortunately, not everything stays buried forever. No matter how hard you wish it would.
This girl is a part of me. The one part of me I love. - Dare

This was such an emotional book. Countless times I had tears in my eyes. But I loved how it was extremely sexual too. So I felt like we got the best of both worlds in this story. Now I want to go binge read her next two books, they're so addicting! If you're a fan of NA romance that is seductive, hilarious and will pull at your heart then definitely pick this one up!

I had so many countless favorite quotes....so here are a few more I loved:

Dare . That’s not a name. That’s a warning. And I’ve been with enough bad boys to heed the warning. I think .


Well, that was one hell of a first kiss. And I didn’t even make it to her mouth.


“It’s gorgeous,” she breathes.
“Sure the fuck is,” I say, but I’m not talking about the drawing. She looks at it, but I’m looking at her.


“Lo. Stop.” I hold her shoulders, trying to get her to meet my eyes. “I’m just… fuck , I’m concerned for you, okay?”
“I can take care of myself,” she insists, her voice still full of steel.
“I see that. I
know that,” I agree. “But it doesn’t mean no one else can give a shit.”


She’s been here for a couple of weeks, and she’s bringing shit out of me that I thought had died long ago. Conflicted doesn’t even fucking begin to cover it.

Whenever Charleigh Rose has a new release, I want to drop everything and read it. I was so excited for Dare's story and couldn't wait to watch the tattooed, silent bad boy fall in love!

Lo has spent her entire life taking care of her younger brother, Jesse. When she finally decides they've had enough and moves them to River's Edge together, she's hoping she can provide the safe, stable life her brother has always deserved. When she stumbles into the tattoo shop looking for a job and finds Dare, Lo is put off by his rude demeanor, no matter how attractive she may find him. And Lo has just gotten out of a seriously unhealthy relationship and is in no rush to jump into another one. The more she sticks around town, though, the more she runs into Dare and they find that they kind of need each other after all.

Going into this one, I found myself sucked into the story of Lo and Dare. I really admired Lo and how much she loved her younger brother. When Lo and Dare first met, I liked how Lo was not impressed with his bad attitude and only continued to butt heads with him until they really got to know each other. I absolutely LOVED Dare's character and how we got to know him more and more throughout the book. I mean, he was really such a softie on the inside and I wanted him all for myself.

When it came to Dare and Lo's relationship, I did find myself wanting just a little bit more angst and development. Don't get me wrong, there was definite angst in the beginning, but I felt like it was not as drawn out as I usually like it. They did have some pretty hot moments together, though, and I liked how Lo really tried to resist him because of her past. And when he revealed his past?? Ugh, my heart!

Not only did I love Lo and Dare, but I also loved the entire cast of characters who live in River's Edge. I definitely want a book for Jesse and Jake and all of the guys at the tattoo shop. Can this just be, like, a ten book series? I love this whole world and all of these broken characters who find someone who can help them put those pieces back together. I definitely recommend starting with book one, Bad Habit, but you HAVE to pick up Bad Intentions!

This is a favorite for me!
Andddd I will be re-reading!

The feels of this book is phenomenal! I have to say, Dare is truly one of my favorite hero’s. He’s charming, broody (the right amount) and he’s not a complete ass. He’s broken and he’s dealing with it.
Logan is also a favorite heroine of mine. She’s hilarious, she’s got jokes for days. This girl. She’s 21 years old with the maturity of an old soul. She’s bad ass. She’s real. And she’s raw.
They are the perfect couple. I loved watching their relationship developed from nothing into a lotus flower. That’s the best metaphor I can come up with. Cheesy I know. Sometimes you can’t help the situations you’re in you just got to keep it pushing. These two people are survivors. And I do love them.

I like this book. This is my first read by moss Rose. With such good rating in goodreads, i start listen to the audiobook. It is a simple classic story. A girl runs away from her past. Primce charming saves her day. Prince charming also have dark secret. The writing is flawless.

I just think it takes too much time with unnecessary eric drama. It can be shorten a bit. And at the beginning too much introduction with so many characters that for the rest of story development, they disappear into the background.

4.5 'My sun' Stars!
ARC provided by the author via Enticing Journey in exchange for an honest review.


I’ve been waiting for the next book in this series since I finished reading Bad Habit. I was so glad when Charleigh Rose announced all these amazing characters were getting their own love stories and I was definitely curious about the icy tattooed God, Dare (one of Asher’s best friends, the hero of Bad Habit). And since I loved the first book that much, I had high expectations for this one and I am so glad to now say they were reached!

Bad Intentions is the second installment in Charleigh’s Bad Love series and, as I said, now it’s time for Dare to find his soul mate. Dare and Lo both have very difficult and messed up aspects from their past. Lo is struggling to give her brother Jess the life he deserves with the very little they have. It’s after they are all alone that they want to escape that past life and now they find themselves in River’s Edge. Lo and Dare meet for the first time and everything starts to turn upside down with their instant chemistry. Dare is also very affected by his past life, even though he has a pretty decent life right now being an owner of a tattoo shop and his good friends. He still is a broken man. Will these two broken souls fix together? Of course, when love gets in the mix!

I haven’t spent more than five minutes with this girl, but I can already tell she’s the type of crazy I need to stay far away from.

I am becoming addicted to this series! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved the first installment. I connected instantly with all the awesome characters Charleigh has created and Dare was no exception when I first read about him in Bad Habit. Now we also meet the one who will change his life forever and boy, they are so good together! Even though at the start these two are not ready to accept the connection between them, it is obvious they will not be able to fight those feelings. The sexual tension is palpable on every scene and the icy aspects in both their lives start to melt when Dare and Lo are together.

“Remember when I said I didn’t have bad intentions?”
“Yes,” she whines, moving faster, and I feel like I could come from this alone.
“I changed my mind.”

She’s wormed her way through the frozen cracks, and she’s been slowly melting the ice inside me ever since.


Yes, of course they are obstacles between them. The past keeps making appearances and secrets are kept. That always complicates things but what do those aspects have against the love that starts growing between these two characters? Absolutely nothing. Dare and Lo start living a beautiful relationship: they are always there for each other, they talk about their pasts, they have a mind-blowing and smoking hot chemistry and love always wins, am I right? When all those feelings start growing between this couple, it was even more amazing. Lo and Dare are amazing together and I am so glad they found their happy ending. I would have loved a longer epilogue though!

What happens when fire meets ice? Fire wins. Every time.

Therefore, my rating for Bad Intentions is 4.5 STARS because it was a fantastic addition to the Bad Love series. I loved this new couple and how they fight against their pasts to be together and to be happy. If you enjoyed the first installment, you’ll love Dare and Lo’s love story! They have an awesome relationship and their connection made me melt all over the place. I seriously cannot wait to see whose story is next, I am sure Charleigh Rose will not disappoint! Highly recommend reading this one!

5 “ Jack & Sally “ stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow this was such an emotional read and my favourite so far in the series. I completely in love with both Dare and Lo. These two broken people were so right for each in so many ways. I was so intrigued by Dare aka Stefan when I met him in the previous book and was anxious to read his story and it was absolute perfection. Some couple just leave a mark on you and they are one of them.

Logan aka Lo moved to river’s edge along with her brother Jess, looking for a fresh start. She meets Dare for the first time while hunting for a job since she’s looking after her brother too and is responsible for him. They both don’t hit it off on their first meet, there’s a lot of banter and angsty moments in the first few chapters which will have you laughing out loud and swooning. There’s definitely attraction there. I love a strong and confident heroine like Lo who is just as smart and sexy. She’s put up so many walls around her which is understandable since she’s had to rely on her own for most of her life but she has a soft side to her too. I also loved the relationship she has with her brother.

Dare was such an intense and a closed off person which made him so intriguing. He was broken and kept his circle small. It was beautiful to watch him open up, fall in love and learn his story. I loved how he interacted with Lo. You could feel every single emotion coming out of him. Under his hard exterior, you could see that he was a loyal and a passionate guy who’s always there for people he loves.

I think they were perfect for each other. They had a lot in common. You could feel the push and pull between them and how they fought to stay away from each other. The chemistry between the two was palpable, there was so much heat and the scenes were just as hot that couldn’t help but ask for more.

still inside her, I lean my forehead against the
wall behind her, panting, and Lo absently toys
with my nipple ring as she peppers kisses
against my shoulder.
What happens when fire meets ice? Fire wins.
every time.


Dare was always there to protect her. There were so many beautiful moments between them, I liked that he cared for her brother as well knowing he was important to her. She was fire to his ice. The romance was just perfect. No unnecessary drama, the characters worked out their issues and made the right choices.

I’ll sit with you in the dark. I’m not the fan of
sun anyways,’’ she says, yawning.
‘You are the sun.’
"

This author is starting to become one of my favourites. Her writing style is exactly how I like. She creates perfect blend of cocky, broken heroes and strong, independent heroines. There’s enough steam to keep you glued to the pages along with romance. Now I can’t wait to read Jess’s book next. 😍😍

I definitely recommend this series to everyone. ♥️

WOAH!!!!!! Dare and Lo have INSANE amounts of chemistry.
This is the second book in the BAD LOVE series by Charleigh Rose, and it was every bit as good as the first. I honestly didnt think that anything could top Asher and Briar, but CR delivered something pretty amazing.
Not only did i love Date and Lo, but i have a massive crush on Adrian (thats never going to change and i hope he gets a book soon), also Jesse (Logans brother - and i dont care one little bit that he is still in high school!!!!)
These books keep getting better and better, and this author is certainly in the top of my list of favourites. I am sooooo excited to see what she comes up with next.

So many feelings involved in this story. It was a mix of drama, romance, mystery, action. It had it all.
I loved Dare (and his real name is sexy too), but Lo was not my favourite character. She was lacking something. I don’t know what.
Eric was awful! I knew from the start he will keep coming back and I was afraid at the beginning of each chapter that he is going to intrude. Thank God for Dare’s friends.

The quote I liked the most:
“Why is it that the few friends I do have are always in my space, completely oblivious to my propensity to be a loner?”

“What happens when fire meets ice? Fire wins. Every time.”

One of my most anticipated reads this year and it didn't let me down, it surpass all my expectations. From chapter to chaper this story became more and more intense, touching, raw and just beautiful. I love it when a book makes me feel many different things and really enjoyed Bad Intentions because of this.
Striking!

I certanly have no idea who's next in the series, but I am so hoping that Jess will get his own book.

Bad intention is book 2 in the bad love series by Charleigh Rose.

I absolutely loved everything about Dare and Lo’s story! Their chemistry was off the charts insane!
I love a sassy heroine and steamy scenes. Charleigh Rose bought that in spades.
I fell in love with Dare, the mysterious hero. He had no idea what to do with a spunky sassy heroine like Lo. Both beautifully broken, but perfect for one another.

“I think you’re my new favorite hobby.”

I've wanted to read Dare's book since I first started reading this series. Unfortunately, I think my expectations were too high.

description

Dare and Logan share similar backgrounds and handle things pretty similarly. Dare is much more of a loner - at least in the beginning.

Logan and her brother, Jesse, move here to live with their father trying to escape their addict mother and her plethora of bad influences.

After trying to get a job at Dare's tattoo parlor, she ends up getting one at the bar next store. This works out great because Logan gets to know everyone...especially Dare.

Then Logan's hours get cuts and Dare hires her. He wants her but he doesn't want her. Luckily, he can't stay away and things get pretty intensely very quickly.

There's some drama with Logan's ex and her mother and if that wasn't enough, Dare's past comes back to haunt him. I think that's what didn't work for me...there was too much drama and not enough relationship building. It didn't help that almost every time Logan and Dare were together, they ended up having sex.

I did enjoy the story and how things worked out. It was great getting to know some of the other characters who will hopefully get their own stories especially Jesse.

Lo
Moving to River’s Edge was supposed to be a fresh start.
Away from chaos.
Away from bad influences and worse relationships.
All I wanted was to give my little brother more of a chance than I ever had.
It should’ve been simple.
I didn’t count on my transgressions following me.
And I definitely didn’t count on meeting Dare.
Tall, tortured, and tattooed.
A Lost Boy through and through.
Falling for someone like him was asking for heartache.
But I was a sucker for punishment.

Dare
I had a routine.
Eat, work, sleep, repeat, only ever doing the bare minimum to keep up appearances.
I kept my circle small and my guard high.
I spent years making sure I didn’t repeat the mistakes of my past, forming an impenetrable layer of ice around my heart.
Then Logan showed up in my town, in my tattoo shop, testing my patience along with my self-control.
She was fire and I was ice.
I should’ve stayed away.
But I had been cold for far too long. 




English Review


"I want you every day. And I don't want anyone else to have you."

I think this has been one of the books that I have most expected this year, and yes it was worth every second of it, because let me tell you that Bad Intentions had everything I like,passion, friendship, reality, sensuality and of course love.

Logan is a young girl who has to live too many hard things in her few years. With an addicted mother, she becomes "the mother" of her brother, and does it in the best possible way so that he has the opportunities that she never had. Due to a series of problems they leave the place where they live, to pursue a new opportunity in River's Edge, and they are not prepared for what awaits them.

Dare, the handsome and mysterious boy of the city, some fear him, others hate him, and his friends who are just a few know how good person he can be. With a hidden and dark past, he keeps his head down and her life quiet, until our protagonist comes to mess it up making him feel things he doesn't want or expect.

Their first encounter is quite unsuccessful, she needs a job to start her new life, Dare in his tattoo shop seems a good job opportunity for Lo, but him used to keep everyone at bay, don't think twice before doing the same with the new beautiful stranger and tells her where exactly the door is, although he does not know that it will not be so easy, because she gets a job, in the place next door.


Both have lived their amount of misfortunes and disappointments, perhaps that makes them more given to relate and lean in that strong attraction, they become impulsive towards each other, sexual tension is out of this world, every time they were together in a room I felt that they were about to spontaneously combust.

"You may be too drunk for a tattoo, but I never said anything about being too drunk to have sex."

Definitely the author knows how to write, sex scenes, pre sex, post sex and everything that follows. I longed and panted with every touch that was given , there was exactly a moment of great sexual tension but at the same time very innocent, in which I had to stop and say Wow, I felt it, I was her and I I was there, that's how well written it is, and that's how incredible this story is.

One of the things that caught my attention is how this book makes us see that love is seen in small things, in small acts, that let us feek how much we can care about someone.


And on the secondary characters I can only say that they are incredible, well developed and they make you think about the new books that this magnificent series will bring us, I already have my money in two stories, and can't wait to start harassing Charliegh with them :D

Lo and Dare are in my heart forever along with their story, their strength, real problems, and behaviors suitable for their situations and their ages. They made me feel connected to them in every moment of their travel.

Go to Amazon, buy the book, read it and then you can thank me.

Thank you Charleigh Rose for deciding to be a writer, please never stop being one.

"The two things that bring me peace- my spot and my girl."







Lo
Mudarme a River's Edge se suponía que sería un nuevo comienzo. 
Lejos del caos. 
Lejos de malas influencias y peores relaciones. 
Todo lo que quería era darle a mi hermanito más posibilidades que nunca. 
Debería haber sido simple. 
No conté con mis transgresiones siguiéndome. 
Y definitivamente no conté con conocer a Dare. 
Alto, torturado y tatuado. 
Un niño perdido de principio a fin. 
Enamorarse de alguien como él fue pedir un dolor de corazón. 
Pero yo era un imbécil para el castigo.

Dare
Tengo una rutina. 
Comer, trabajar, dormir, repetir, solo hago lo mínimo para mantener las apariencias. 
Mantuve mi círculo pequeño y mi guardia alta.
Pasé años asegurándome de no repetir los errores de mi pasado, formando una capa de hielo impenetrable alrededor de mi corazón. 
Entonces Logan apareció en mi ciudad, en mi tienda de tatuajes, probando mi paciencia junto con mi autocontrol. 
Ella era fuego y yo era hielo. 
Debería haberme quedado lejos.
Pero había estado frío por mucho tiempo. 




Reseña en Español

“Te quiero todos los días. Y no quiero que nadie más te tenga.”

Creo que éste ha sido uno de los libros que más he esperado éste año, y como valió la pena cada segundo de espera, porque dejenme decirles que Bad Intentions tiene todo lo que amo. Pasión, amistad, realidad, sensualidad y por supuesto amor.

Logan es una chica joven que ha tenido que vivir demasiadas cosas duras en sus pocos años. Con una madre adicta, ella se convierte en “la madre” de su hermano, y lo hace de la mejor manera posible para que él tenga las oportunidades que ella nunca tuvo. Por una serie de problemas se van del lugar de donde viven, a perseguir una nueva oportunidad en River's Edge, y no está preparada para lo que le espera.

Dare, el chico guapo y misterioso de la ciudad, unos le temen, otros lo odian, y sus amigos que son pocos saben lo buena persona que puede ser. Con un pasado oculto y oscuro, mantiene su cabeza baja y su vida tranquila, hasta que nuestra protagonista llega a desordenarla haciendolo sentir cosas que no quiere y no espera.

Su primer encuentro es bastante fallido, Lo necesita un trabajo para empezar su nueva vida, Dare en su tattoo shop parece una buena oportunidad laboral, pero éste acostumbrado a mantener a todos a raya, no lo piensa dos veces antes de hacer los mismo con la nueva hermosa desconocida y le dice donde exactamente está la puerta, aunque no sabe que no le será tan fácil pues ella consigue un trabajo, en el lugar de al lado.


Ambos han vivído su cantidad de desgracias y desiluciones, quizás eso los hace más dados a relacionarse e inclinarse en esa fuerte atracción, se vuelven impulsivos uno hacia el otro, la tensión sexual es fuera de éste mundo, cada vez que estaban juntos en una habitación, yo sentía que estaban a punto de la combustión espontánea.

“Puede que estés muy borracha para un tatuaje, pero nunca dije nada sobre estár muy borracha para tener sexo."

Definitivamente la autora sabe como escribir, escenas de sexo, pre sexo, post sexo y todo lo que le sigue. Yo ansiaba y jadeaba con cada toque que se daban así fuera sólo un roce, hubo exactamente un momento de mucha tensión sexual pero a la vez muy inocente, en el que tuve que detenerme y decir wow, yo lo sentí, yo fui ella y yo estuve ahí, así de bien escrito está, y así de increíble es ésta historia.

Una de las cosas que más me llamó la atención es como éste libro nos hace ver que el amor se ve en las pequeñas cosas, en los pequeños actos, que nos dejan ver cuanto le importamos a alguien.


Y sobre personajes secundarios sólo puedo decir que son increíbles, bien desarrollados y te hacen pensar en los nuevos libros que nos traerá ésta magnífica serie, ya tengo mi dinero puesto en dos próximas historias, y no puedo esperar para empezar a acosar a Charliegh con ellas :D

Lo y Dare están en mi corazón para siempre junto con su historia, su fortaleza, problemas reales, y comportamientos adecuados para sus situaciones y sus edades, me hicieron sentir conectada a ellos en cada momento de su viaje.

Vayan a amazon, compren el libro, leánlo y luego me pueden agradecer.

Gracias Charleigh Rose por decidirte a ser una escritora, no dejes de serlo nunca.

“What happens when fire meets ice? Fire wins. Every time.”

It’s no secret I love me a mysterious hero. There’s just something about them, isn’t there? I fell in love with Dare the very minute he appeared in Bad Habit. He hooked me in and didn’t let go.

There’s more to Dare than meets the eye and his story broke me just as much as Logan’s. My heart ached for them both.

Lo is a tough girl. I like badass heroines and Lo was definitely badass. How she cared for those she loved was really sweet and admirable. Especially since she’s still very young herself.

Dare may be closed off and rough around the edges but he has a heart of gold. He just hides it very well. I loved all of him.

The two characters have undeniable chemistry. I was ready for these two to stop messing around and finally give in to their feelings. And when it finally happened — HOT!! Charleigh knows how to write them steamy scenes, though!

I enjoyed seeing all the side characters. The one I’m most excited about is Jesse. I’m ready for his book. He needs his happy ending. My poor boy deserves it. I’ll be here, impatiently waiting.

DNF. I tried twice, but failed. Reading is subjective.

I was unable to connect with the heroine, Logan. She was a bit too crass. Even though Logan has a hard life being raised by her mother and only recently come together with her father, she was hard.
The verbiage between the MCs was awkward. It did not flow. I think their communication was supposed to be cute, but it felt forced. This did not work for me. I felt that the character development was all over the place. What did the author want me to feel and think about these characters???

Dare Dare Dare, this man was made for me, he was built for me, he is the man I will fantasize about now until the day I die. Words cannot express how much I adored the writing, the story, the characters, the plot. Just everything about this was utterly perfect. I just had a fckn good time reading about another man, no real man will ever compare to

4.5 stars!!
took me quite some time to finish this🙁but wow, it was an amazing book actually. very mature characters considering it's a new adult book.

"What happens when fire meets ice? Fire wins. Every time."

Lo and Dare, such unique names! but most of all, i really loved Charleigh Rose's writing here. it's deep, emotional, intense and angsty. you can't help but be drawn into the story and the plot here is really well developed. Lo and Dare have huge emotional baggage but i like how the power of love wins all. (not in a sappy way!)

4.5 stars!
