BAD INFLUENCE is a sexy
contemporary romance about second chances. Annie Maxwell and
Joseph Preston have it all and are packing to leave for Shanghai to
begin a golden opportunity at a large bank where Joseph will be in
charge of the technology department and report directly to the CIO. A
large salary, a generous sign on - what's not to like? However, Annie
receives a devastating phone call from her mother: she's been
diagnosed with cancer and begs Annie not to leave her while she
begins her treatment immediately. Annie tells Joseph sh can't leave her
mother, and he's less than understanding. His own family relationship is
non-existent. He offers to pay for trips home, but Annie is adamant and
will not leave her mother. Angry, Joseph chooses his career over family
and leaves for Shanghai on his own...
Three years have passed and Annie has been trying to move on.
Working non-stop with no social life, she has no life except for work
and her family. Her mother is in remission and Annie is glad she was
there for her but misses Joseph. She created an app called Bad
Bachelors which, she hopes, helps women have some help in their
dating choices, but she is receiving too many threatening messages
from angry men. This is not what she expected. She has kept the
ownership of this app secret but she is receiving lots of
recognition...some good and some very negative.
Jogging in Central Park with her best friend Darcy, she is almost at the
Pond, which was always "their place" when she was with Joseph. Annie
bumps into something hard, almost unmovable. She looked up to see
Joseph, soaking wet and holding one shoe. This is not the reunion he
was hoping for. Annie lets him come to her apartment to dry off, and
once again they are in each other's lives.
When Annie discovers she has been hacked and receives personal
threats, the only person she knows who can help her without disclosing
she is the owner of the app is Joseph. He comes at once and their
second chance begins. It is slow, sweet, sometimes funny, and at other
times sad. Love ultimately finds a way and the ending is the icing on
this scrumptious cake. I love Stefanie London's storytelling, with a
splash of HOT sex, a touch of mystery, and characters who you love
and others who are easy to detest. BAD INFLUENCE is a sizzling read
that will keep you panting and turning those pages faster and faster. I
loved it and look for the next offering by Stefanie London. You have a
new fan.
Annie Maxwell had her whole life figured out...until her
fiancé left her when his career took off. If that wasn't bad
enough, every society blog posted pictures of him escorting
a woman wearing her wedding ring. To help the women of New
York avoid men like her ex, she created the Bad Bachelors
app. But try as she might, Annie just can't forget him...
Outside his stellar career, CEO Joe Preston has made a lot
of mistakes. None was worse than leaving the love of his
life when she needed him most. Now, he's ready for a second
chance. He may still be one heck of a bad influence, but
when Annie's safety is threatened by a hacker, Joe is the
only one who can save her—and he'll do whatever it takes to
win her back. But will their hard-won bond survive the
revelation that Annie is the one pulling the strings behind
Bad Bachelors?
