Emma Cavanaugh was waiting in a restaurant for her fiancé Simon to
set the date for their wedding. Instead Simon tells her they're not
sexually compatible, and it would be better to call it off. Emma has a job
project that will take her a few weeks, then there's the wedding of her
brother Zaine to attend, so she figures she has a month to do
something to get her perfect fiancé back. Zaine's best friend, Nico
Giordano, is a notorious playboy, so when Emma accidentally bumps
into Nico and confides in him, he proposes to help her with the
bedroom stuff because he also has a little favor to ask.
This is the type of trope that I would never look at twice were Carmen
Falcone not the author. I know I can trust Ms. Falcone to turn a
seemingly predictable story into something shiny and new because of
her unstoppable creativity, and she does it again with GOOD GIRL'S BAD LESSON. It's
actually the first time that I've read a convincing reason for the heroine
asking a man to teach her about sex. There is also something about
Nico that I had never seen in a romance novel. All this is intriguing, isn't
it? Emma and Nico have ogled each other before, but she's the
marrying type and he's not, so neither of them had ever had any
second thoughts. Besides, Nico really does try his best to dissuade
Emma from what he considers sheer folly, but she won't budge.
But GOOD GIRL'S BAD LESSON is
more than a sexy romp in the sheets, and that part is nothing to sneeze
at either: anyone who has read Carmen Falcone knows that the author
can turn up the heat to dizzying heights, which she does again here.
But besides the initial reason why Emma and Nico get together for
some temporary sex lessons and the issues that might arise, there's a
source of conflict that could not have been avoided, which led to a
spectacular plot twist that answered some of Nico's questions about
his brother Marco and their painful childhood. There are so many little
details that contribute to make this erotic romance rise above the rest,
but many of them are spoilers, so mum's the word. If you are looking
for a very steamy story with heart, with characters that will surprise you
at every turn, GOOD GIRL'S BAD
LESSON has it all!
Translator Emma Cavanaugh will do anything to win her
ex-boyfriend
back—including summoning her brother's best friend, Italian
billionaire
and playboy Nico Giordano, to give her much-needed lessons
in the art
of seducing and pleasing a man. Sex was never her thing, so
if anyone
is going to know how to teach her how to be bad it'll be Mr.
Sex-on-A-
Stick himself.
Nico doesn't want any part of the crazy plan to teach Emma
to be the
mayor of pleasureville because not only will her brother
kill him, but
little does she know he wants nothing more than to taste
her, touch her,
and hear her moan his name. So that's a hard no...until she
begs him to
show her, to let her be his student for a month of
blistering hot
instruction that will make not only Emma's ex panting for
more, but
Nico as well as it turns out.
