Good Girls Don't

By: Victoria Dahl

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang

Length: 9 hrs and 6 mins

Publisher's summary

Too much of a good thing.

With her long ponytail and sparkling green eyes, Tessa Donovan looks more like the girl next door than a businesswoman - or a heartbreaker. Which may explain why Detective Luke Asher barely notices her when he arrives to investigate a break-in at her family’s brewery. He’s got his own problems - starting with the fact that his partner, Simone, is pregnant and everyone thinks he’s the father.

Tessa has her hands full, too. Her brother’s playboy ways may be threatening the business, and the tension could tear her tight-knit family apart. In fact, the only thing that could unite the Donovan boys is seeing a man come after their "baby" sister. Especially a man like Luke Asher. But Tessa sees past the rumors to the man beneath. He’s not who people think he is - and neither is she.

Made me smile but no extreme reactions

My favorite of the series so far!

The chemistry between the main characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, that's the beauty of these books, you want to listen to them but you can put them down when other duties call.

The narrator saved the story

Lauren Fortgang did a good job narrating this story. I’m not sure I would have completed the story if she wasn’t so effortless to listen to.

No one talked to each other. I felt like I was listening to story about a group of teenagers more often than adults.

Luke was a hypocritical ass, so I kept hoping that Tessa would find another love interest even though I knew that wasn’t going to happen.

Although I barely liked anyone it did make me laugh and the sex scenes were pretty great.

Just okay

Tessa was immature but the story is okay. Luke was hot and a good guy so it helped.

I REALLY LIKED THIS BOOK BECAUSE

Victoria Dahl does it again. What i like about this book is the relationship between the charactors and the storyline. This book is part of a 3 book series so if you like this book you will definitly like the other two. Just make sure you listen to them in order.

Fun and Entertaining Romantic Comedy

Good Girls Don't by Victoria Dahl is a light, fun and entertaining romantic comedy that I really enjoyed. The Donavan family trio (Eric, Jamie and Tessa) is very relatable, and while the problems they face may not be, their reactions to circumstances are. They love each other and the level of commitment they share with one another is fundamental to the theme/plot, making this book work.

Lauren Fortgang did a very good job with the narration. Her voices were easy to listen to and distinguished characters nicely.

I did find parts that were laugh-out-loud funny, and even teared up (briefly) when Tessa confessed her woes to her oldest brother, Eric.

This book is for mature audiences as it is pretty steamy with some graphic love scenes. Overall, however, it is a cute, funny story, that will entertain.
Credit worthy...yes!

.

Too much like the other two

I wanted to read this book because I really enjoyed _"Bad Boys Do". Really enjoyed that storyline&the characters."Real Men Will" was ok, I didn't like the storyline or characters as much. I think this one is should be read first if you are going in order, I didn't realize that. I don't think I would have purchased the other books if I had listened to this one first. "BBD" appealled to me the most. The three books are very similar and after you have read one you can pretty much figure out the remaining books. This is good for a light read for a weekend. The "not intimacy" is very graphic if that is a concern to you.

good girls don't...what?

This was a pretty good book... I would probably read others by this author, but it wasn't fantastic. Don't expect to gain anything from it, it's just a brainless read...which isn't always a bad thing!
The narrator was PERFECT for the story though.

Sexy detective saves the day - and gets the girl

Tessa has run the family brewery with her two overprotective brothers ever since her parents died. Having lost her parents at age fourteen, she is desperately afraid of losing the family she still has and will do whatever it takes to keep them together. A theft at the micro-brewery brings Tessa and police detective Luke together. There is family drama, a business crisis, and a crime to be solved by the desirable detective and his unattached pregnant partner. The road to Tessa and Luke's happily-ever-after has some rough spots, including Tessa's suspicions about the nature of Luke and his police partner's relationship. This is a sweet romance with a few explicit sex scenes. The narrator is great and the voice she gives the hero definitely contributes to his sexiness.

Hilarious and romantic -- fun story!

Tessa Donovan may be 27, but she is still the innocent little sister to her brothers, who just happen to co-own a family brewery with her. When she develops an interest in Luke Asher, the hot detective who is investigating a break-in at the brewery, and who also happens to be her brother Jamie's friend from college, all kinds of chaos ensues.
This is such a cute and funny story, with laugh out loud parts, along with some pretty steamy and romantic love scenes. Lauren Fortgang gives a great performance as narrator and makes me really look forward to getting to the next two books in the series.
