Bad Influence

De: Charleigh Rose

Narrado por: Aaron Shedlock, Rachel Butera

Allie

When I moved to River’s Edge, dating was the last thing on my mind.
I definitely didn’t expect to fall for him.
Jesse Shepherd.
Popular. Star athlete. Cocky as hell.
You know the type.
But as time passed, I realized there was more lurking beneath that gorgeous exterior.
Secretive. Angry. A little bit broken.
The more I peeled back his layers, the deeper I fell.
Until I slammed headfirst into his sea of lies.

Jess

I blew my shot.
Pissed everything away - college, lacrosse, my future - only to end up right back where I started in River’s Edge.
I was content to revel in my misery, spending my days drowning in a bottomless pit of booze and girls.
Until I saw her.
Allison Parrish.
Beautiful. Sarcastic. Perpetual bad attitude.
The pretty little distraction from the shit show that was my life.
But the sins of my past were closing in on me, and I learned the hard way that nothing gold can stay.

Bad boy good girl romance

Really enjoyed this audiobook. Jessie and Allie are both sympathetic characters and their chemistry makes sense and feels real. There’s no cheating despite Jessie’s playboy rep. Allie is likable and admirable. Both have to overcome poor parenting. There’s some slow burn despite their attraction and I liked how it built up to sex after they had made a real connection and had a relationship. This is a new adult college story. Allie is in school and working at a bar managed by Jessie’s sister, who takes her in after Allie becomes homeless. Jessie then begins hanging around and pursues her. There are secrets on both sides, which lead to drama and angst. I really enjoyed the resolution and HEA. The narrators mostly did a great job, but I didn’t like how the female narrator did make voices. That’s the only thing I would change.

Good story, even better in audio!

The narrators did a really good job of bringing this book and the characters to life. I was already a fan of Aaron Shedlock and he did great with Jesse! The female narrator was new to me, but I think she did a good job as Allie.

Jesse and Allie are both characters with somewhat troubled pasts. Their relationship is real and sweet and hot. Highly recommend!

amazing

found this via TikTok and I loved it. I'm so glad a splurged a little just to hear this story. it's been so amazing. thank you for writing this. so many good moments in this book made me flash to moments in my current relationship where things are similar or happened almost exactly the same. I wish there would've been a little bit more to that last chapter to really cement the happy ending but I can also admire the fact that the author chose to let both characters speak in the final chapter.

Lollipop, lollipop 🍭

Wow! I totally loved this series!! This is the 3rd book in the Bad Love Series bit can be read as standalones but I highly recommend them all! They’re all so funny, sexy and all have a little angst. I think Jess was my favorite! I love how he and his big sis, Lo always watched our for each other! He was such a broken bad boy but a big softie on the inside! I absolutely loved Allie! And loved the slow burn between these two! Starts out like a enemies to lovers which is my favorite trope! Their chemistry was off the charts and there may be something sexy involving a lollipop 🍭 😉😂
Love how it all worked out in the end.
Can’t wait to read more by Charleigh!
I listened to the audiobook and the narrators did an awesome job!

GREAT STORY BAD NARRATOR

The girl narrator was really awful. I hope someday it's done over. Loved the story.

Love these cocky men!

While Jesse might have been cocky but he was crazy sweet too! Once he fell for Allie, he was just done. I loved the sexual tension and the incredible chemistry between them. Miss Rose writes an amazing story! Aaron Shedlock and Rachel Butera were amazing as Jesse and Allie. Shedlock has this nice strong voice and it just worked hand in hand with Jesse. Butera was a fabulous Allie as well. She has a sweet but strong voice. I enjoyed listening to them both!

Bad Influence

Charleigh nails it again!!! I LOVE this couple! Jess and Allie are beautiful together. I was initially worried that this story would be to angsty and intense, it was intense, intensely Awesome! I want more! I’m not ready to leave their world, I hope Charleigh is working on more bad love for this series. I highly recommend this book, but as always, start at the beginning of the series with Bad Habit and then Bad Intentions. They can all be read as standalone but they have characters overlapping which makes them more fun to read as a series.

Dum Dums

I will legit never look at those damn things the same again!

This whole series! I love every bit. Charleigh slays!!

Jesse and Allie are amazing! Love how tortured Jesse is. And how Allie loves him and knows he’s better than where he came from! Love This Book

good read

I enjoyed the book my only complaint is the word deadpan is used entirely too much. Also, ministrations is not a sexy word lol.

Great story with POOR female narration

I love this series and the narration of the first two books was great, but Rachel Butera was the WRONG choice for this one. She ruined the book for me. She can only do one voice well—cute and sweet. That’s it. If you listened to this book, I know you understand.

If you have time, READ this book. I’m sure the experience will be much better.
