The “Good Girl Loves Bad Boy” story is a tale as old as time. After all, its
theme is rooted in the fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast.”
Except, in modern retellings, Beauty has become the heroine who is sometimes
virginal, always sweet-natured and occasionally naive. While Beast has become
the rough-around-the-edges, sinfully sexy hero who pushes her to see things in a
new light and stirs a passion within her that she’s never had before.
I love the “Good Girl Loves Bad Boy” story because it usually involves the
heroine learning how to stand up for herself as the hero finally finds
redemption and, along the way, they fall in love. And if you’re reading my
stories, they also have lots of sex!
Speaking of my stories, my new novel “Delicious Temptation” features a good girl
who’s determined to be very bad with her older brother’s ex-best friend. In a
way, the roles are reversed since it’s the heroine Amara who’s trying to tempt
bad boy Eric and that made it super fun to write!
Here are my 5 favorite good girls from movies who fell in love with bad boys.
I’ve also included a quote from each movie that pretty much sums up their romance.
#5: Emily from “Step Up Revolution”
Emily, the daughter of a hotel tycoon, falls for Sean, the leader of a street
dance group called “The Mob.”
Telling quote: “Sometimes it’s good to break the rules.” -- Sean
#4: Jamie from “A Walk to Remember”
Quiet and shy Jamie begins a friendship with rebellious teen Landon that turns
into an ill-fated love.
Telling quote: “Our love is like the wind... I can't see it, but I sure can
feel it.” -- Landon
#3: Bella from “Twilight”
Bella’s love for vampire Edward could result in her death.
Telling quote: “About three things I was absolutely certain. First, Edward
was a vampire. Second, there was part of him-and I didn't know how potent that
part might be- that thirsted for my blood. and third, I was unconditionally and
irrevocably in love with him.” -- Bella
#2: Baby from “Dirty Dancing”
While on vacation with her family, Francis “Baby” Houseman falls in love with
the resort’s dance instructor Johnny Castle.
Telling quote: “I’m scared of what I saw, I’m scared of what I did, of who I
am, and most of all I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the
rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.” -- Baby
And, drumroll please…
#1 is, of course, Sandy from “Grease”
Good girl Sandy falls in love with greaser Danny over one summer and are
reunited when Sandy transfers to Danny’s high school.
Telling quote: “You’re a fake and a phony and I wish I never laid eyes on
you” – Sandy, near the beginning of the movie.
“Tell me about it, Stud.” – Sandy, at the end of the movie.

first, here’s a little more about my new release!
The only thing naughtier than a bad boy is a good girl...
Amara Maria Robles is a good girl. So good that she gave up her dreams of
becoming a renowned pastry chef to help her parents with their struggling
Mexican bakery. Yet her parents reject any changes she suggests, and refuse to
sell her mouth-watering confections. Clearly being a good girl isn't paying off.
So when her brother's sexy ex-best friend walks into the bakery, Amara's tempted
to be very bad indeed...
After a scandal twelve years ago, resident bad boy Eric Valencia has returned to
make things right with his family and friends. One glance at Amara and her
wicked curves, however, and Eric finds himself thinking about how she’d feel
beneath him—something he promised Amara's brother he would never think about,
let alone do.
But this bad boy is in deep trouble...because Amara's determined to have her
cake, and Eric, too.
