Bad Intentions
Aria
I don’t live a perfect life, but that’s okay.
I have no drama or worries.
Partying with my friends while keeping my distance from my mother are the only responsibilities I have.
Until him.
He’s tall and handsome with dark hair and intense eyes.
He’s also my best friend’s boyfriend.
I shouldn’t want him, but I can’t help it.
The more I get to know him, the more I fall.
How long can I resist the temptation to give in?
Jensen
I try to live an uncomplicated life.
If I don’t get attached to anyone, I won’t have to tell them my secrets.
All I have to do is live my life, cutting out anything that becomes too much trouble.
Until her.
Gorgeous dark hair and the bluest eyes that remind me of the ocean.
Did I mention she’s my girlfriend’s best friend.
There’s no way we could ever work, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting her. She deserves so much better than what I can give.
How far can we take this before we both end up hurt?

Writing was simplistic, more Wattpad style.
Couldn’t connect with anyone, characters felt cartoonish, probably because book didn’t have character development. 🤷🏻♀️
Pros
- great chemistry
- beautiful h
- by 25% H had broken up with the gf, so it’s probably doesn’t have cheating between the MCs.

Tropes:
- instant attraction
- love at first sight
- best friend’s boyfriend/OWD
- forbidden/secret
- angsty af
From the moment Aria locks eyes with her best friend’s boyfriend Jensen, she’s done for. She’s instantly drawn to him, feels like she’s known him her entire life, and their attraction is magnetic… Only he’s with her best friend and that’s a line she refuses to cross no matter how she feels.
Bad Intentions was messy as hell and I loved every angsty, drama filled moment of it! Seriously, this book was everything I expected it to be and then it took a turn in the last 35% that I was not expecting at all and the plot thickened.

Aria finds herself unable to look away from Jensen. He’s gorgeous, smell delicious, is nice and belongs to her best friend. Which even though just the sound of his voice affects her, she doesn’t do relationships. Jensen takes one look at Aria and he knows he’s in trouble. His girlfriend, Tyra is nice but after meeting Aria he knows who he wants. This is a really steamy love story, romantic and sweet. There’s a lot going on and I didn’t see how they were going to end up together because of friend but it all worked out nicely. I couldn’t put this book down. I’m giving it five stars and highly recommend it.

Aria and Jensen’s story is one that grips you by the heart, takes you on an emotional ride, and leaves you craving more. Aria’s life isn’t an easy one and the one thing that she has always counted on was her best friends. When Aria first meets Jensen he is dating her friend, Tyra, but neither one can help this overwhelming storm of emotions that consume them. As the story progresses we see the ugly side of Tyra and her true colors that cause Jensen to end things and nothing happens between him and Aria until he has ended things with Tyra first, yet that never stopped those feelings from always lingering. Aria tries so hard to to fight this thing yet fate has other plans set in motion. The angst, drama, and suspense of this story will grip you and have you falling in love with these characters. I will admit I was not a fan of Tyra’s and still debating if I ever will be because her actions and words cut deep and with a friend like that who needs enemies, yet I have a tiny spark of hope she will do better. The emotions in this story are so raw your heart will ache only to be mended by love.

Hold onto to your seats because this book will take you on one heck of a ride! Aria hasn’t had it easy. Basically on her own with only having her two best friends she meets Jensen, her best friends new BF. Can we say instant attraction…YES!!! Don’t worry there is no cheating by the H but once he’s a free man he will stop at nothing to get to know Aria. Jam packed with so much chemistry and ALL THE FEELS you can’t help but fall in love with Aria and Jensen.

Oh, did I love this story of Aria and Jensen. This book took hold of me and didn't let go, I finished it in one sitting. From the moment Aria and Jensen locked eyes, their relationship was enchantin. The only problem is that Jensen is dating Aria's best friend. It's a wild ride with highs and lows. It's relatable with the friendships and the things the characters go through. It does have a HEA! If you are looking for a quick, enjoyable read, give this one a go!

If you like love at first sight and taboo attractions then you’ll be a lot about bad intentions!
The strong pull that aria and Jensen have to each other is insane.
Personally this was breathe of fresh air in comparison to what I normally read.

love every minute of this one!
I DEVOURED this one!! I’m talking I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. It was that good!
I absolutely loved this story. I loved the whole best friend/exboyfriend trope. I’ve never read this type before and now I need more of it in my life.

Super fast paced, angsty story. The characters Aria and Jensen also deal with trauma and family issues related to illegal activities and drug use.
Because the story is so fast paced, it was engaging and hard to put down. Overall, a great read especially if you want a book you can read in a day or two.

Jensen & Aria.
Have you ever seen someone and instantly wondered what secrets they hold? Wondered about the life they live. Needed to know more while trying to hide your feelings. You're meant to be dating her best friend. You shouldn't be feeling the way you do towards the forbidden, unknown fruit.
The moment she sees him, she knows she's going to have a hard time forgetting about him. The handsome, tattooed mystery man. Her best friends boyfriend. Completely off-limits.
Until an ultimate betrayal pushes the two together.
From the start of their meeting, the chemistry is off the charts. Both are immediately attracted to one another. Travelling through forbidden wrelms finding comfort in unlikely places.
Two with more in common than they would originally believe. Becoming the perfect couple. Between stolen looks and hidden encounters, they're entirely besotted with each other. Wanting nothing more than to live their lives in public, sharing their news with the world.
This book has some incredible twists and turns that are not to be expected. Nikki doesn't disappoint in her writing. The minute she announced this book, I knew I had to read it. I, as always, feel beyond honoured to have been able to ARC REVIEW. To see it before it goes live in the world is a feeling I can't explain. To be on the authors journeys, supporting them, feels me with immense joy and happiness.

This was really good. I read it in 2 days. I read her first book but this one blew that one out of the water. The story line was great and it wasn't predictable.
