Publisher's summary

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?

Feminist grade: A++

Absolutely amazing! This is one of the few books where both the feminism and the story are on point! Love Jaime's character's arc!

NOT BORING

Would you listen to Bad Boys Do again? Why?

yes, This is one I would listen to again and again

What does Lauren Fortgang bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her guy voices are sexy and really good.

Any additional comments?

I loved that there was not alot of boring emotion dialogue from the characters. It had plenty of good sex and romance.

Borderline erotica

I bought this book based on reviews/ratings; I wanted something different to listen to during stressful wait times. This book is horrible. It reminds me of a porn flick - no plot, just gratuitous, poorly done sex. Don't get me wrong, I'm far from a prude, but this book is just crap. The story is gratuitous, the sexual encounters even more gratuitous. There are better writers and better books for romance style - Natural Born Charmer for one. This book drove me back to my serial killers and mysteries!

Cougars? Really?

Your description doesn't really warn anyone about what to expect. Superficial, tedious, endless and useless. I didn't realize it was Harlequin, but I certainly would have expected they'd have smartened up over the years. The thought of ten hours of this drivel makes my eyes glaze over in stupefaction -- and reach for the off switch. At least I only used a credit -- I'm paying off my iPod with this subscription. I'm a big Susan Elizabeth Phillips fan. I'd suggest this author read a few books that have substance to offer and genuinely sexy characters. The people in this book are fools and a waste of my time. Any chance for a credit refund? One exception: The narrator didn't try to gruff up her voice the way some narrators do. I'm tending to buy only books with male narrators and buy my Susan Elizabeth Phillips on Kindle for that reason. I'll certainly never trust another Audible blurb! A suggestion: a zero-stars option.

Would not recommend

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Hard to answer. Don't want to offend anyone. I won't select any more books by this author.

Has Bad Boys Do turned you off from other books in this genre?

NO. This book is not a good representation of the genre. Many others more worthy
of your time.

What three words best describe Lauren Fortgang’s performance?

The narration may be the only redeeming aspect of the book.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

narrator okay.

Any additional comments?

I enjoy romance novels based on plots with mystery or action and complex human relationships--layered over with sensual, steamy sex. This book had none of these qualities.
The plot was thin and the sex was little more than using 4 letter labels for sexual organs and
acts.
