Bad Girl
A sizzling new voice in erotica offers a hot debut novel of sex and suspense.
Being bad can be so good. All it takes is the right man. By day, Sandy Davis is a dedicated social worker. By night, she's found an unlikely spying on her neighbors' erotic encounters. She tells herself that it's harmless, until one night she finds herself on the receiving end of such a fantasy-and an anonymous phone call from a peeping stranger who calls himself Justice, and whispers, "You've been a bad girl." The arousing predicament turns into a sensual dance between the adventurous pair. But when a third player enters their sexy game, the fun turns to something darker and more dangerous.

Sandy tiene un pequeño secreto: le gusta observar a sus vecinos con su telescopio. Ella no cree estar haciéndole daño a nadie pero entonces un día recibe una llamada y alguien parece haber descubierto su secreto. Las cosas suben de tono cuando el desconocido del teléfono la chantajea a cambio de no contar su secreto... Sólo que quizás Sandy disfrute más de este chantaje de lo que ella piensa.
No sé por qué intento leer los libros de esta autora. Ya lo intenté con otro y lo abandoné sin acabar porque no podía y este es otro que iba por el mismo camino pero al final me obligué a acabarlo.
Esta historia y la relación de los protagonistas roza lo absurdo, terrorífico y enfermo. Es que no tiene pies ni cabeza que te pongas a hacer lo que te dice un puto psicópata desconocido por teléfono de verdad que no. Entiendo que son fantasías y tal pero lo siento, mi cabeza hay cosas que no acepta y las piensa demasiado.
Para quien disfrute de fantasías un tanto perversas y retorcidas este es su libro.

For me, this was an average-borderline good book. It gets bonus points for having a unique starting point to the story and some very steamy scenes, but there was just something missing from the story that kept it from being really good. Plus, there was one part that made me want to throw the book across the room...more on that too come.
Bad Girl is an erotic romance - though the label on the back of the book just calls it erotica, it is at heart a romance - about a youngish, full-figured, quiet social worker named Sandy who developed the odd habit of spying on her neighbors. She would sit on her balcony and use a telescope to stare into the windows of the people in the building across the street. Her habit puts her into the sights of cop Zeke, who is covertly investigating one of the neighbors she spies on. Zeke is smitten and worried, so he cooks up a plot to scare her off, but soon finds himself intimately involved with Sandy in a hot and daring affair. Then Sandy catches the attention of the man Zeke is investigating and suddenly her life is in danger. If Zeke can keep her safe, they have a chance for happily-ever-after.
Unfortunately, part of my opinion of this book is colored by a complete and utter TSTL (too-stupid-to-live) moment by the heroine near the end. It made me want to bang my head against a wall and smack Sandy upside the head with a heavy object. Why? Because as mentioned in the summary above, Sandy catches the attention of a bad guy - a sociopathic sexual sadist. He's stalked her and tried to have her kidnapped once. So what does she do? She decides to run out for breakfast, by herself (walking) at six in the morning. Umm...what are you? A total idiot? So yeah, that act of stupidity ends up getting her kidnapped and I just shook my head thinking 'I-told-you-so' because yea, if you're going to do something that dumb, you deserve what you get.
So that monumental stupidity colors my opinion a little bit. I don't mind strong, in-charge heroines, but I prefer they not act like stupid twits. Most of the time, Sandy was a cool character, and I enjoyed the fact that she was fuller-figured and unsure of herself, but that one thing made me question her smarts.
Aside from that, I liked the romance aspect - mostly. Its sweet and hot, but it was also a bit simplistic. Things jump from hot and sweaty sex to romance and kisses rather quickly and I wasn't entirely feeling it.
The entire book, though, was kind of like that (simplistic). It seemed to skate along the surface, but never quite dug in and took a bite. Sandy had issues with her weight and her mother was horrible to her, but though those things were mentioned a lot, they were never truly explored. And they were big issues. Plus, Sandy's in danger from a psycho, and excepting the rush to find her when she's kidnapped, it's treated rather nonchalantly. There's just a lack of depth throughout the book. If the story had been more strictly erotica/sex-based, then it wouldn't have been a problem, but there's an actual storyline and romance so skating the surface didn't work for me.
But it wasn't a bad book. I still enjoyed reading it. I thought it was interesting to have a quiet, social working sitting on her balcony spying on her neighbors. Definitely unique. And her being full-figured was a plus. So it was basically a good story. It just could have been more, in my opinion. Is it worth reading? For the most part. I think if you come across it and think it sounds interesting, then go for it, but I wouldn't say it's a book that you just HAVE to go out searching for or order off the net.

Esta historia la leí por primera vez como una adaptación en Wattpad, antes de saber que era un libro publicado.
Maya Reynolds nos cuenta la historia de una chica que vive en un piso de protección civil y es voyeur. Así conoce a Justice, una persona que la pilla observando a los demás y que se dedica a ver cómo Sandy hace de las suyas. Aquí entra en acción el extraño vecino de Sandy, que dará un toque más policíaco a esta historia.
La trama de la historia es adictiva por ese componente de misterio y tensión que tiene, te mantiene en vilo a la vez que te entran ganas de seguir leyendo.

Me encanto, desde el principio hasta el final me mantuvo con muy buenas expectativas, de hecho, pensé que iba a ser una historia muy X y que de nuevo iba a ser un libro pasajero el cual me iba a tardar en leerlo, pero me lleve una grata sorpresa y fue hermoso.
Sandy y Justice hacen una hermosa pareja que me encanto, pero sobre todo, amé la manera en que Justice se expresa del cuerpo de Sandy y las sensaciones que provoca en ella, ya que le influye esa seguridad que le faltaba.

I ended up having a love/hate relationship with this book. Bad Girl is a short novel about a young woman who watches her neighbors through a telescope she hides on her balcony. One day, she is caught and the rest is history.
What I liked about this story? The sex scenes were pretty well written and, in the beginning, inventive. After awhile, I actually became bored with them because that was the majority of the text. I understand that it’s an erotica novel, but there was hardly any pauses or breaks between each sex scene.
What I didn’t like about this novel? It seemed pretty unrealistic. The main character, Sandy, excuses her “late-night hobby” by saying she is just looking out for her neighbors. While that may be a good excuse, everybody can see right through it, including Zeke. When Zeke calls her out on her hobby, she reacts pretty much the way I suspect any woman would: she obeys. This created some delicious scenes. However, Zeke finds out about her hobby because he accidently sees her moving her telescope back into her house. What I find comical is that he threatens her for spying on her neighbors when he pretty much stalks Sandy after initially seeing her. Not only does he do a background check, he literally stalks her when she leaves her house to go to work or hang out with her friends. He takes mental notes of certain attributes which come in handy later after the two actually meet.
That brings us to Sandy and Zeke meeting. At first, Zeke was only planning on scaring her out of her hobby and she only obeyed so she wouldn’t be exposed. That escalated into amazing phone sex. Apparently, this phone sex was so awesome that the two couldn’t stay away and had to meet so they could have incredible real sex. This part of the story progressed so quickly, I felt that Reynold’s rushed it just to get to the sex scenes.
I also felt she rushed the emotional part of their relationship. Zeke, who is keeping an eye on one of Sandy’s neighbors for his job, is immediately defensive and protective of Sandy when said neighbor, who happens to be a mobster, shows interest in her. I can understand wanting to protect someone from harm, but it felt as if Zeke was more emotional involved instead of just being a good Samaritan.
All in all, what little plotline there was, made the pauses in between sex scenes interesting enough. The sex scenes were creative and tasty, but actually became tedious after awhile. Not necessarily a novel to take serious, but entertaining enough.

Sandy is a full figured gal who does not have alot of confidence in herself because of her size 16. So she takes up spying on her neighbors. Zeke is a detective and he has one of Sandy's neighbors under observation. In order to discourage her from spying on his suspect he calls her and blackmails her into performing sex acts for him on a camera he had installed in her apartment.
Having watched and followed Sandy for several weeks he starts to have feelings for her and deceided to rather meet with her face to face then continue the blackmail.
The mobster and very cruel "Dom" that has been under police surveillance takes an interest in Sandy after she accidentally let's it slip that she knows of him. He has her kidnapped and takes her to his dungeon. Zeke has to move very fast to save her before she gets seriuosly hurt.
This was a fast paced suspenseful read with plenty of sexual encounters. Zeke was very sexy and I liked the way he helped Sandy to start feeling comfortable with her own body.

I’ve had this book on my shelf for a long time at this point, and finally decided that I needed to just read it. At first it was slow, and I was just not getting very into it. I felt the attraction between the characters, and it was rather believable, but I was just not drawn in. Then I got a little over half-way through it, and I was starting to not enjoy it at all, but for a different reason.
The premise sounded good, kinky, fun. And at the beginning, it was. I liked Sandy, how intrigued she was by her neighbors, but then how wary she was when “Justice” called her. When they met, their attraction was apparent, they had chemistry, and they seemed to get along well. Not only with the sex, but also with their problems and personalities.
But then Sandy was confronted by Cabrini, a guy who lived across the street who she’d noticed possibly abusing girls, and a guy that Zeke was trailing while on the job. And, even after Cabrini’d told Sandy that he was going to get her, Sandy was a little frightened, but she didn’t tell Zeke. He almost kidnapped her, and she put off telling Zeke, because he was ‘busy’. But the tipping point for me was, after all this, she went outside alone, the next day. She brushed it off by saying that Cabrini was out of town, when anyone would have said that they should still be cautious. There was just no reason for her to be so stupid, especially when she’d been portrayed as being wary and ‘brave’.
There were also a few conflicting scenes with Cabrini’s submissive girl Lena, whom he’d obviously been abusing. In one scene, Sandy was disgusted with Lena, as if any of it were her fault (or as if being submissive were bad, in the first place), and in the next she felt bad for the girl. That just didn’t work for me, and kind of angered me at one point.
Then near the end, Zeke was going crazy with want to save Sandy (because the police were taking forever to do anything). This wouldn’t have bothered me so much, but it just became apparent to me that the two had been together all of, like, five days. And since he proposed to her at the end, that was a little too fast for me. I suppose it helps that they waited a while to actually get married, but still.
In the end, this book just got on my nerves too much. I wanted to like it, the sex was nice and the attraction worked at the beginning, but the characters didn’t.

I probably need to take a break from erotic romance. I found nothing sensual or arousing about this book. It had good reviews on other sites (like the one at Two Lips Reviews) but everything felt trite. You can have a character DO a trite thing like stick his eye on a telescope and watch your neighbor undress (as happens in Bad Girl) but what follows can be suspenseful or highly erotic. Not so here. It remains trite all the way with the most unappealing hero I've ever come across in an erotic romance.
I guess I was already put off by Sandy - she's a 'full-figured' sex-starved woman whose sex life consists of Peeping Tom moments everyday. Again, this being an erotic romance, Peeping Toms are "okay" but Sandy comes across truly pathetic. Or it could be that the heroine peeping at the neighbors and masturbating while she watches is not my favorite vicarious thrill.
Sandy gets caught by the hero, "Justice", who proceeds to blackmail her into having sex with him or he'll call the police to report her bad-girl habit. Ugh. Gimme a hero who doesn't have to blackmail a woman into having sex, any day.
This one-star rating is because I found it too horrible to go on reading. If the book does a one-eighty halfway through, then someone please tell me and I'll go back and finish it.

Es una novela picante y que parece prometer mucho pero a la larga se vuelve tedioso. Si bien tiene algo de creatividad el hecho de que la protagonista disfrute espiando a sus vecinos, sinceramente eso de "Diario de una voyeour" está de más. Muy demás. Dentro del mismo libro finalmente Sandy reconoce que no es una voyeur y que le gusta "cuidar a sus vecinos", cero concordancia con como de pintan la novela. Si bien tiene los elementos para ser una novela erotica relativamente buena, no lo logra.
Rescatable las escenas picantes, algunas. El resto es un alargue de escenas que la autora trata de encajar en un universo policial que no tiene ni pies ni cabeza. Creo que eso es lo que más me ha molestado del libro. Que la autora tratase de dar un vuelco diferente a la novela y terminase por perder lo que la caracterizaba, ser voyeur.

13. Un libro ambientado en un país diferente.
Update 2022:
He leído el libro 3 veces, no sé porque sólo tengo 2 fechas pero bueno. Ahora que tengo más edad, veo las cosas muy diferentes y puedo darme cuenta que, sí, es un libro muy raro.
En algún punto de mi vida llegue a pensar que era algo muy romántico, pero es muy curioso que yo chiquita allá pensando que era algo tan puro e increíble. Lo maravillosa de crecer es aprender y darse cuenta de lo que no nos dábamos cuenta antes de lo malo que leíamos.
El libro obviamente me sigue gustando y mucho, es de esos libros que me ayudan a quitarme el bloqueo de lector y como es tan ligero de leer, me ayuda a leer algo rápido.
Nunca he leído el siguiente libro, pero le voy a dar la oportunidad porque me gusta bastante la pluma de la autora.

Me estaría volviendo una completa mentirosa si dijera que aun no le encuentro su parte buena a todo esto de la lectura erótica, creo que se puede disfrutar como cualquiera de los otros géneros. Y algo que particularmente disfrute en esta historia es ver como los sentimientos de los personajes se iban mezclando hasta llegar a enamorarse y creo que es lo que realmente disfruto de este tipo de lecturas, la primera vez que leí este libro fue adaptado y luego tome la decisión de que ya que no era demasiado largo, leer la versión original.
November 12, 2014
La lectura empezó prometiendo mucho pero desde el capítulo 10 se convierte tediosa y aburrida, utilizan demasiado la idea del antagonista e introducen demasiados personajes nuevos que no tienen ningún tipo de relevancia y nunca son descritos con interés. Incluso me parece que el título está mal planteado, posee unas escenas bastante picantes pero de "Voyeur" sólo tiene como los primeros 5 capítulos que no son siquiera tan largos. Recaen en demasiados estereotipos por lo que los personajes no se sienten únicos.

This book made me aware of the challenges involved in writing erotic fiction. Maya Reynolds met the challenges to produce a clever story that includes a romance so hot you won't want to stop reading, and a crime case so disturbing you'll have to stop....just long enough to check the locks on your doors and windows.
A fast-paced, quick read, with a generous plot.

My rating for this book is 3.0 stars.
Este libro en algún momento del pasado lo comencé a leer, pero nunca lo termino o no se que ocurrió porque recuerdo el inicio mas no tenia noción de como terminaba, creo que entiendo el porque lo deje a mitad de lectura (si fue eso lo que ocurrió, no recuerdo 😕) y se debe a que la lectura es netamente surrealista y aburrida.
Llegas a un punto en que sientes que la autora trata de salirse del cliché, pero en ocasiones según en rumbo que ha tomado los libros se debe tener un poco de cliché, verán tenemos una pareja de enamorados extraña, una voyeur y un hombre misterioso que al tercer o cuarto capitulo descubres cual es su verdadera profesión... En fin, su lazo se debe a su vecino frente al edificio de la voyeur que es realmente un criminal muy buscado y que tiene un lado sado que explota de manera brutal.
Todo gira entorno a eso, a enamorarse a la distancia y empezar una relación un día después de conocerse (absurdo) y caer en manos de este malote que hace de las suyas, pero que no logra cumplir con su cometido.
No es divertido, no entreteniente mucho, pero la lectura es pasable.

Ame q la protagonista sea como cualquiera de nosotras! El es hermoooso también!!!!! Creo que lo que más me dejo esta historia es que no importa q tan mal estés con vos misma, que tan mal te hagan sentir los de afuera, tu familia o un trabajo monótono. Hay una historia que se gesta por nuestras acciones. Siempre hay un roto para un descosido dicen jajajajajja.
.... y si una cree en si misma, es como si se prendiera una luz que te rodeara e hiciera que los demás te puedan ver!
Al principio pensé que era una historia naif pero de a poco fui creyendo que podría pasarle a cualquiera jajajajajajaja nah ni de lejos... pero bueh sería buenísimo que si ocurriera jajajaja 👏🏻

Odio que demonice tanto el sexo que se sale de lo típico y que, después de una semana juntos, los protagonistas decidan casarse. Este libro está lleno de red flags: en la primera mitad del libro la historia no avanzaba porque eran escenas sexuales todo el tiempo, mientras que en la segunda la autora mete algo de acción bastante surrealista; siempre se corren a la vez (vaya, qué original y realista); son excesivamente intensos y no se separan desde que quedan por primera vez. Resulta agobiante. Sólo lo he terminado porque el libro es cortito.

um this is a scorcher. where there some plot holes yep. but i loved her vision of Dallas. I live there. jerry's really is an awesome bar. I really related to these characters and i liked them. i mean i was super rooting for them. when she went a bakery cause well you read it. i was like come on man. i felt like Maya Reynolds the writer needed to punish Sandy for being nosy. im nosy so i didnt like that. lol

El primer libro en esta narrativa que acabo y que me gusta.
Aunque fue un amor a primera vista muy sexual y un poco raro, siento que la autora supo manejar el tema muy bien y el rumbo de la historia.
Fue una lectura muy ligera pero, sin embargo, me hubiera gustado que hubiera sido más largo, me quede con ganas de saber mucho más de esta pareja y ame que se rompiera ese estereotipo de protagonista con cuerpo de modelo o delgada, sin duda, ya quiero leer más libros como estos.

Por fin!!! tengo leyendo este libro desde el año pasado, me parece tan fastidioso... Algunas escena son interesante pero de verdad el libro no es de mi agrado, su tematica no me gusto. Ademas que tiene de malo ser gordo? deteste a la madre de la protagonista y la hermana osea como le puedes quitar el novio bueno equis... por esa razones mayormente no me gusto.

Es un libro que se lee muy rápido y aparte es corto, son de esos libros para pasar el rato. Algo que me gustó es que no solo fue sexo si no que también incluyo un poco de misterio en el trama, me gustó que hubiera tratado un tema muy delicado como lo es el sobre peso y siento que lo trato de buena manera. Fue un libro bueno, para pasar la tarde pero sin ser una gran revelación.

Parece una historia sacada de un fanfic de Wattpad.
Todo raya lo absurdo, es una novela carente de lógica y sentido. Los personajes tampoco se me hicieron nada del otro mundo.
Esperaba otra cosa la verdad.

Me hubiera gustado que las llamadas telefónicas entre Zeke y Sandy hubieran durado más. Me dejo de gustar cuando entro el romance, pero me volvió a interesar cuando comenzó lo policiaco. Todo me pareció muy apresurado.

Una novela, mezcla de sexo e intriga, que te va ensanchando hasta el final.

Ví el libro y dije mmm si, tuve una época pero luego leí la sinopsis para ver si me venía algo a la cabeza (no pasó) y quedé intrigada🤔
