Publisher Description

Just how good can a bad boy be?

Olivia Bishop is no fun. That's what her ex-husband said. And that's what her smart bob and glasses imply. So with her trademark determination, Olivia sets out to remake her life. She's going to spend time with her girlfriends and not throw it all away for some man. But when an outing with her book club leads her to a brewery taproom, the dark-haired beauty realizes that trouble - in the form of sexy Jamie Donovan - may be too tempting to avoid.< /p>

Jamie Donovan doesn't mean to be bad. Sure, the wild streak in his wicked green eyes has lured the ladies before. Now it's time to grow up. He's even ready for a serious romance. But how can that be when Olivia, the only right woman he has ever met, already has him pegged as wrong?

"Oh, these Donovans just break my heart (in the best of ways). Anyone who has lost a parent can relate to their grief and the aftershocks of growing up too fast, adding even more emotion to characters who are already wonderful. I can relate to Tessa's tension in GOOD GIRLS DON'T more, having read the fights between Jamie and Eric in BAD BOYS DO. These siblings love each other so much, but have realistic insecurities and habits that bring things down to earth. No one can get under your skin faster than a sibling, even when there isn't emotional landmines to worry about. As much weight as Dahl puts on the Donovan dynamic or Olivia's ex-husband, have no fear that she'll toy with reader emotions or take things too far. Every time I saw a hint of Olivia and Jamie's self-confidence issues colliding, I tensed for them to hurt each other in a classic Romance novel way, but Dahl doesn't go for the easy emotional jab. These characters have so much to love in them, and they have many more little triumphs than they do moments of drama. Reread #1 (4/10/12): Started this as a "test" of my new Kindle, got swept away into reading the whole thing. Jamie's drama actually stands up to a re-read, and his relationship with Olivia was worth a page by page savor. I'm completely surprised that BAD BOYS DO held up for a more complete re-read than GOOD GIRLS DON'T, Tessa's anxiety was hard to revisit while Jamie's anger and insecurities weren't too heavy."

    " (Sept) This was better than the first in the series (Good Girls Don't), probably because the heroine was more likeable. Jamie was a great hero - sexy, cute, fun - but there was some depth to him to balance him out. There was some angst, troubled backgrounds, and great sexytimes. Overall, a good read. Not too excited about Eric's book - he was such a jerk in this one - but I'll give it a shot! "

    " What a sweetheart Jamie was! Really loved Jamie and Olivia. Tessa was kind of annoying to me in this one. Same for Eric. "

    " 4 1/2 stars. What a great book !! I loved the romance between Jamie and Olivia. Jamie was a fantastic character. I could feel his hopes and his pain. Olivia too was a great heroine. I loved that the ex didn't play much of a role in this book, none of the secondary characters really do. Everything revolves around Jamie and Olivia and I devoured every page of it. I'm not sure I want to read Eric's strory though. He's been a jerk in any scene he's been in so far. I'll really have to trust VD on this one, she's very good with male characters after all. "
