In the last book of the Second Chance series by Jessica
Lemmon, the author
brings back a local legend. After being out in LA, living
the dream of a rock
star, Asher Knight returns to his hometown to get his life
back in order.
Starting with learning how to be a father to his
three-year-old kid from a
previous relationship.
In the past, Asher had a relationship with Gloria and it
ended badly. The
events have scarred Gloria and whenever she sees Asher with
another
woman, she is reminded of their time together and jealously
strikes. It's the
worst timing when Asher's baby's mother, Jordan enters the
picture,
complicating matters greatly. Because of the kid's
involvement in this story,
Jordan naturally had to come along with it. But I found her
character to be
especially immature and juvenile, which I guess isn't a
surprise other than
the fact that it really grated on me. I found that I didn't
enjoy those moments
of the book and it actually took some of my interest away
from Asher
because of how he handled it. I also felt it stood in the
way of developing his
relationship with Gloria.
Gloria and Asher start off quite hot but with the obstacles
standing in their
way and the complicated matters of them, I found that I
didn't fall in love
with them as much as I thought. There was more drama in this
one than the
other books and I missed the banter and wit that the others
had. That being
said, if the entire book was just about the entire group
being together, I think
I would be happy. Nevertheless, RETURN OF THE BAD BOY has
some sweet
and steamy moments that readers will no doubt enjoy.
Asher Knight has three constants in his life: music,
beautiful women, and a bottle of Jack. He
lives for the next gig, the next city, and dreams only of
a life spent in front of an arena
full of screaming fans. But Asher's nomad ways come to a
sudden stop when he learns he's the
father of a three-year-old from a past relationship and
suddenly this rock star bad boy is
forced to put down roots.
Only she can clean up
Gloria Shields is no one's fool. Sure, the sexual
chemistry between her and Asher has always
been intense, but she'd never risk giving her heart to a
man who has a perfect record for
breaking them. Except the man desperate to make things
right with his newfound son is nothing
like the rock god she's guarded her heart against for
years. And it isn't long before she
starts to wonder if life with this bad boy might be the
best thing that's ever happened to
her.
