Marco Giordano's Nonna is soon turning ninety, it's time he
went to Italy to see her, he wants to make her happy, but
first he has a small problem to solve: getting Lily Jenkins
to sell him her salon so he can finalize a business deal. So
he decides to pay the stubborn hair stylist a visit and
convince her. Nearly all the businesses in the strip mall
have already agreed to sell, business is dwindling, so Lily
is glad for any client who drops in. Especially when they
look this good! Lily is a good girl, but the attraction that
hits them like lightning soon has her having wild sex with
her gorgeous client in the supply room. When he tells her
the real purpose for his visit, she is not happy, but not at
all. The hair salon has been Lily and her mother's pride and
joy for years, and no billionaire is going to take it away
from her. They strike a deal, but will they be able to keep
their part of the bargain?
Carmen Falcone has been a favorite author of mine for
several years because of her unique ability to blend
scorching sex scenes with stories that melt your heart, all
the while giving unusual spins to every trope in the book,
and GOOD GIRL GONE BAD is no different. I liked that, given
the premise, there was no dilly-dallying, no
misunderstandings, no unpleasant antagonism between Lily and
Marco; they reach a sensible agreement, but they cannot keep
their hands off each other! And Marco is just the sweetest
man ever! No arrogant, ruthless billionaire there my
friends, although he did have a serious unresolved issue,
which came as quite a shock to me. The banter is priceless,
Ms. Falcone's unique and colorful use of language is an
utter delight, and the sprinkling of Italian added a touch
of authenticity to the story. GOOD GIRL GONE BAD is a
shortish novel, yet both characters' backstories are richly
developed and I was rooting for them almost from the start,
because Marco is just too yummy for words! Ms. Falcone knows
how to write strong and relatable heroines, and sexy male
characters, but I think Marco is her all-time best; this man
is totally irresistible and sweetness personified!
Carmen Falcone is a true original: her prose is colorful and
vibrant, and she again gives delectable and imaginative
spins to every romance trope imaginable. Her
multidimensional characters feel real, and she always
convinces me that true love is out there, which she
demonstrates with GOOD GIRL GONE BAD's perfectly wonderful
ending! What a great start to Ms. Falcone's Dirty
Debts series!
Lily has always lived up to her preacher father’s
expectations of how she should behave, but all that changes
when a hot stranger walks in to her hair salon and a feral
need to have him takes over her common sense. On a whim, she
screws him in the supply room, caving to a desire that only
grows with each kiss.
When she learns he’s the billionaire alpha who wants to boot
her out of her business for the sake of his own, she’s
livid. But the pulse between her legs never got the memo.
Things heat up even more when he offers her a naughty
proposal that’s going to make this good girl stop thinking
twice about being bad…
