Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author Meghan Quinn comes a sassy and sweet romance about an Irish rebel who falls in love with the wrong girl. Full of witty banter and swoony moments, it's the perfect romantic comedy to binge on.

Dear Diary,

I might have gotten myself into a wee bit of trouble - and I'm not talking about the "court mandated community service", or “therapy sessions from bashing a bloke in the head" kind of trouble.

I wish it were that simple.

Nope. I’m talking about the "falling in love with one of my client's daughters”, kind of trouble...The kind of problem I can’t talk my way out of when the truth gets out.

How I ended up with her phone is a long story - and when she called to get it back, I took things a bit too far. One innocent exchange wound up leading to so much more.

Fun, new, and totally immune to my charm, Sutton is different. And I had no idea she was the daughter of Foster Green.

Blame it on the dark colored stout running through my veins, pushing me toward one bad decision after another. Pushing me toward her even though I know right from wrong; even though she's my client's daughter.

Dating her might be the best or worst decision I've ever made. Only time, whiskey, and one more roll around the mattress with her will tell.

Loving the bad boy!!

Meghan Quinn has provided me with yet another book boyfriend to love! Diary of a Bad Boy is the story of a whisky drinking, cigarette smoking, zero f*cks given Roark McCool, who is without a doubt one of the BEST heroes that I’ve listened to. He’s such a hot freaking mess…and I loved it.

Sutton Green is a charming, sweet, southern bell who is no match for the rudeness she receives from Roark, until she goes outside her comfort zone and steps up her game. The steamy chemistry, the fantastic quick-witted banter was AMAZING between Sutton and Roark and I couldn’t get enough. The sexual tension between the two..my oh my!

I absolutely adore this audio version!

Read/Listen to "Secre to Dating" First

My first Meghan Quinn story. I didn't care for the heroine (she was SUPER naggy) or the hero (he was cliche, and a jerk- but NOT in a clever/sharp-tongued bad boy way. Sooo... sexy alpha asshole but without the sexy alpha part...) Made it hard to connect with these characters. Too much coincidence and superficial story for my taste, even for a light contemporary romance read.

The H is introduced in Secret to Dating Your Best Friend's Sister. Maybe I would have established some regard for him in that book, but reading this on its own, not so much.

THAT SAID: Solid writing. Clear and consistent. No issues with the plot, just didn't quite resonate with me.

Gave me all the feels you can't get with books

I had to have this audio and so glad I did you will love it

Another Great Meghan Quinn Book

Loved the book and narration!!!
Very happy I choose this to listen to. Thanks again.

This book was brought to vivid life!

Narrators John Hartley and Lauren Ezzo brought this book to amazing life and made it sincerely fun and sincerely swoony!

This is my first audiobook from Meghan Quinn I have listened to and I can say with pure happiness, it will not be my last. John Hartley's Irish brogue made my knees weak. I loved every second of the crackling tension both John and Lauren seemed to conjure from the narration of Diary Of A Bad Boy. These two brought the story to vivid life and I instantly and completely got lost in this splendid audiobook. A win for sure!

The audiobook of Diary Of A Bad Boy gets a ENERGETIC FIVE SPARKLING STARS!

SO MUCH FUN!!

This story was great! It had a different spin on the typical contemporary romance “misunderstanding/break up”.

I was also laughing out loud almost immediately with this book!!! The male lead is freaking hilarious when writing in his diary!!

So much love for the narrators too!! Switching between Irish and American accents with ease.

Highly recommend!!

Terrific enemies to lovers romance

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The meet cute was perfect. Roark, our devilishly handsome Irish bad boy gets into a fight and in the process collides with southern belle, Sutton. In the confusion they end up with each other’s phones. Then the games begin! Roark is holding
Sutton’s phone hostage much to her frustration.

This makes for great banter as they both get to know each other over texts. When they finally do meet again the chemistry is white hot but there is of course one big complication… Sutton’s father is one of sports agent Roark’s biggest clients.

This is such a fun enemies to lovers story but with emotional heft as well. As with many bad boy heroes, under his tough exterior, Roark is a sweet, protective, and emotionally damaged man. His struggle to see himself as worthy of a girl like Sutton is beautifully played out.

The narration was terrific. I have listened to a few John Hartley titles before but this was my first time listening to Lauren Ezzo. She did an admirable job handling the Irish accent when she had to voice
Roark. They both handled the fun and flirty moments as well as the emotional ones with ease. I look forward to hearing more from both of them.

This is only my second Meghan Quinn title and I’m already looking to rectify that situation. All in all this was a really enjoyable listen.

That Irish brogue....

Nobody does romantic comedy quite like Meghan Quinn. She creates characters and stories that reel you in right from the first page. Although it took getting to know Roark and his backstory a bit before he became BBF material, the Irish in me (23andMe tells me I am 42% British and Irish!) swooned every time Roark called Sutton "Lass"! Sigh..... Roark and Sutton had such amazing chemistry and Quinn's trademark witty banter was so well done in this book. It was also great to catch up with Roark's friends Bram and Rath from Quinn's The Secret to Dating Your Best Friend's Sister, and I cannot wait for Rath's story, which I hope is coming soon.

John Hartley and Lauren Ezzo were both new-to-me narrators, but they were fantastic in these roles. Both were able to switch easily between Irish and American accents in their respective chapters. Such an enjoyable listen!

broken bad boy & good girl

Roark grew up being told that he was no good and worth nothing and, even as one of the best sports agents in NY, he still believes those words.
When Sutton loses her phone, while witnessing a bar fight, we doesn’t figure on walking away with the phone on one of the guys who was fighting. After several days of the guy putting her off, Sutton shows at one of his lunch meetings and gets a surprise! Turns out that the guy is none other than her NFL playing father’s agent! Not only that but, she has to work with Roark on her father’s charity sports camp...his part of community service.
The chemistry between the pair is off the charts but Roark resists for a number of reasons...he’s 8yrs older, she’s his client’s daughter, and he’s no good.
Can Sutton get past his barriers and prove to Roark that he’s worth loving?
Another excellent book by this author! Definitely a relisten for me.

😍😍🌠kinda perfect😍😍🌠✨💝🥂

Mrs. Quinn never let me down. Beautiful story and the plot is amazing. What I got most out of this book that u don't have to be perfect, rich, or poor, but as long as u seek love, have a big sense of humor and a good heart life can be as big and full of love as u choose it to be💋✨✨
