RETURN OF THE BAD BOY is Book 4 in Jessica Lemmon's
"Second Chance" series. I love this "Second Chance"
series. Each hero is delectable and each book gets harder
to put down. Every book in this series is about a bad
boy, or former bad boy, who has grown up and matured in
some way. It's not necessary to have read all the
previous books in this series in order to understand and
enjoy RETURN OF THE BAD BOY. However, reading BRINGING
HOME THE BAD BOY first might be helpful in understanding
the main characters and how their relationship started
out, and then changed. In RETURN OF THE BAD BOY, naughty
rock star hottie Asher Knight is a bad boy trying to do
the right thing by his son and win the woman he loves.
This is a great romance for readers who enjoy character-
driven stories. Asher and Gloria, his agent and
obsession, have so much mutual baggage to work through
before they can find lasting happiness together. As a
reader, it's worth going along for the ride as they work
things out because there is so much genuine affection and
fiery chemistry between them. I love stories in which the
hero pursues the heroine and Asher pursues like a champ.
I also like that, while both characters are delightfully
flawed and a perfect fit for each other, it's the hero
who figures himself out emotionally before the heroine
does. Every poignant scene in RETURN OF THE BAD BOY
strikes exactly the right chord and the moments of
passion are scorching. Asher and Gloria burn up the pages
in RETURN OF THE BAD BOY.
RETURN OF THE BAD BOY is a tale about soul mates with a
seriously sexy streak. Jessica Lemmon succeeds at
creating a story that sparkles, characters with depth to
captivate the reader, and romance that is hot, hot, hot.
I'm not sure if this is the end of the series, but there
are some secondary characters like the enigmatic
Alessandre and Asher's band mates who stir my curiosity
and I'd love to read more about them.
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.
