Melody Bryant has heard it all before. Sure, she’s the epitome of the stereotype for a librarian. Loves order. Loves rules and deadlines. Loves books. But what she doesn’t love is still being a virgin at twenty-four. Unfortunately, the only guy she’s ever been interested in turned her down flat. And then left town. Eight. Years. Ago. Ugh.
Now her birthday is fast approaching and she just can’t take it any longer. She’s finding a guy before her birthday in five weeks or she’s adopting two more cats and fully embracing becoming “the crazy cat lady.”
But when her latest date ends in epic failure–everyone thinks of her as the “proper librarian,” she realizes what she needs is to ruin her reputation. And she knows the perfect guy to help her: the baddest of the bad boys in town. This Army vet won’t know what hit him…
At this time “How To Seduce A Bad Boy” is a stand-alone title.
Title: How To Seduce A Bad Boy
Series: — — —
Author: Traci Douglass
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Published: January 14, 2019
Publisher: Entangled Publishing
My Rating: 4 stars
I had a blast with “How To Seduce A Bad Boy”, and I loved every moment of Adam’s and Melody’s adventure into true love.
It could be so easy to get tripped up over the tropes involved, the cliché situations… yet neither Mel nor Adam really fit into neat little boxes, they are each unique and those tropes and clichés fit them just perfectly.
Hidden beneath the bad boy, best friend’s little sister trope or the boring librarian turned into a super sexy chick cliché lies a sweet story of two people who have been attracted to each other for a very long time. Now, with Mel taking a risk in turning to Adam for “help” they have a chance to see where that attraction may eventually lead… in spite of outside influences and people’s opinions.
So, yeah, I’m onboard with a fun, charming, entertaining and smile producing romance that doesn’t really fit in any box except the “I enjoyed the heck outta this one” box.
