Resumen del Editor

From best-selling author Melanie A. Smith comes the second book in a new series of steamy contemporary medical romance stand-alone novels about life lessons that break all the rules.

Even when you know better, sometimes it’s simply too tempting....

Hospital work isn’t for the faint of heart. Becca Dillon knows that firsthand, having worked as a medical assistant in the cardiac unit at Rutherford Hospital for longer than she cares to think about. What she does care to think about is having fun, gossip, and...guys. Her favorite of the three. And why stick to one, when you can sample them all?

That’s exactly her plan when a workplace crush on a mysterious bad boy orderly unexpectedly takes a very steamy turn. But Vincent DeMarco turns out to be nothing like she expected, and before she knows it, she’s falling hard and fast. She wants him in ways she’s never wanted anyone before, but there’s something he’s keeping from her. Something that’s holding him back. And Becca is going to find out what.

Even though she knows that bad boys don’t make good boyfriends, he seems like he might be so much more. Will her quest unlock the truth behind who he really is? Or will it end their relationship for good? Either way, ready or not, Becca’s world is about to change.

So nice I read it twice...

This is the second time I've read this book, and wow the audio really brought it to life! The narrators were perfect for the characters. Especially Rachel Woods, who embodied Becca's fun, snarky personality to a T. I caught myself laughing out loud in public several times! I liked the dual narration. Sometimes in a romance book, the woman just deepening her voice for the man's parts can really kill the vibe. Jake Bordeaux brought the fire. ‎️‍🔥‎️‍🔥‎️‍🔥

More than a bad boy meets good girl narrative, this is a story about how judging people by the stereotype they seem to fit at first glance doesn't lead anywhere good. I love Melanie A Smith's heroines. They are smart, complex, hard working girls who just deserve the world, and I enjoy reading about their lives, their trials, and how they overcome them. Oh, and the romance is ALWAYS on point! :))))))))))

Quick fun story

This stand-alone romance puts the bad boy idea on its ear. The story is told from Becca's point of view, so Rachel Woods takes all the narration and ladies' dialogue. Jake Bourdeaux takes all the dialogue for the guys. It was fun and made it sound like a radio play.

The story itself is about Becca who's had an active dating life, but she's done with going through men like tissue. She wants Vincent, but she assumes he's a no-good bad boy. Since the story is told through her very opinionated point of view, he really does look like a cretin sometimes. But unlike other romances, these two do actually talk it out. We often find that Becca's impression of things isn't the whole truth. By the way, the two leads have scorching sexual chemistry.

This can be read/heard on its own, but it's good enough that I wanted to know about the other characters in this series. It's a fun book for those who like contemporary romances in a medical setting or with a distinctive character voice.

Bad Boys Don't Make Good Boyfriends

But sometimes they do...When two people try so hard to not come together, but when they do, nothing can stop them. Cute story with sexy scenes.

Solid 4.5 Stars!

This is the first audiobook that I’ve listened to that was from a single point of view but used both male and female narrators. That was different, but a good different. Really good!
Both narrators were very good and did the characters justice.
It was a bit difficult for me to get into this book at first, there was just so much high school style drama! But, once we got past the majority of that nonsense, it got really good! So good, I was constantly looking forward to running errands so I could keep listening!
One thing that really irked me was the use of “boo” and “bae.” Just no! It didn’t feel like it fit the character or story. Completely unnecessary, in my opinion. Otherwise, a fantastic story!

Great and easy listen!

Dear author - Thank you for this opportunity to enjoy your book in audio.

If you are looking for great and easy listen, this is a book for you. Typical young adult drama after drama, but it makes the book go by very brisk. The main characters have depth and personality, so the story was enjoyable.

I loved it!

A great romance read! I love books and shows in a hospital setting, so that was an added bonus for me. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and I LOVED that there was both a female and male narrator. That made the book all the more enjoyable for me. I also didn't realize there was a book one, so it could definitely be read as a stand-alone. I would love to listen to book #1 next!
