Bad Boys Do

By: Victoria Dahl

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang

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?

Really Good

Great book for this genre. Loved the characters and their interactions. Just wish it hadn't ended.

Will definitely listen to other books by this author.

Need a new voice!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I liked the story, but since I listen while on the road it was difficult as the narrator sounded like she was whispering whenever she would switch characters- annoying.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Whispering when switching characters. Ruined it for me.

BAD BOYS

The title is catchy,but the story is mediocre. I have enjoyed this author when there an interesting story. This was more like formula reading, with hot lust scenes thrown in.

Such a great listen

I loved this series and this was my favourite out of the bunch. The writing is a perfect combination of romance, sex, intrigue and a bit of mystery! Lauren Fortgang has to be the most underrated narrator. I love all of the different voices she uses for different characters. I sometimes find a characters voice annoying but not with her. Her male voice is excellent as well!

Romantic, fun, engaging -- a great story!

This is the story of Jamie Donovan, middle brother in the Donovan clan, and Olivia Bishop, slightly older and very straight laced instructor at the local university. Jamie has a reputation for being a ladies man and a screw-up. He works as a bartender at the family's brewery, taking on little more responsibility or work than is strictly necessary. At least, that is the reputation that he has. He wants to do more, to BE more, and to have others seem him that way, too. Olivia is a woman who happens to meet him, at the brewery (of course!), who is coming out of a decade long marriage to an older, controlling man. She suffers from an inferiority complex of her own -- feeling that she is boring and old. When these two get together, their developing relationship really reels you in.
The narration by Lauren Fortgang is GREAT, as well. This is the 2nd in the series and I cannot wait to get to the third.
