I'm going to be honest the hot cover is what caught my attention with this book- although it doesn't quite fit my view of the characters.
Originally, I thought okay sounds good..but this book was a better than good. IT was a ton of fun. I love witty banter and Bad Business had it in spades. Snarky, witty, and flirtatious banter- I was smiling the whole time. That's not all!
Sexy, sweet football player and the slightly taboo owners daughter...yeah. What you don't know is that sexy, sweet guy is a filthy talker in the bedroom and yes he gets it done. Deliciously entertaining and definitely worth some naughty flashbacks...Bad Business is everything but bad.
It's naughty.
It's hot.
It's sweet.
It's funny.
Nothing bad about it...well except I'm done and there's no more to this story...
Nope, still not bad!

I really enjoyed this book! This is a first for me from this author, and I love finding someone who can keep my attention from the start. The writing flowed well, and I thought that Jason and Savannah were great together. They had great chemistry, and very little drama. I thought that it might blow up worse than it did, but I was glad that it didn't. While this centers around a football player, there isn't a whole lot of actual football, so if you're not a fan don't worry. I would have liked a little more interaction with each other's families. They both seemed like family was important, but we really don't get to see them with the other's family. All in all, this was a great story, and I hope there is more in this series!

Man I love a good sports romance. But, you know what I love even more?? A HAWT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Sports Romance that is a really close accurate depiction of what the athlete's life might be. Not some fictional formulated Mad Libs of romance that is supposed to be a sports romance. And let me tell you, there are quite a few of those out. So, guess what I thought of Book 2 in the Bad Boys of Sports Series?
LOOOOOOVVVEEEDDDDD it! Beyond loved it. Loved it beyond the first book. I adored it. I laughed and hoped and was allll caught up in both POV and both careers and both hearts/minds and allll the hanky panky. I didn't want this book to end. One of the best I've read in a while!
Nicole, if you're reading this... Bad Boys. Sports. MORE. PLEASE. SOON. Thank you.

Bad Business by Nicole Edwards was a fun sports romance. This was the first book I’ve read from this author and I can’t wait to read more!

I enjoyed this up until 70% or so then the storyline took a dive and wasn't believable. DNF.

Thanks Netgalley for a copy to read and review.
Hot cover alert! Very smutty but sexy book. I had a great time reading it. Very fluffy, fun and enjoyable. The characters Stone and Savannah had sizzling chemistry. Very hawt!
Second book in this series but stand alone. Quarterback Stone was a great book boyfriend. The first scene when he turned down the hot chick in the bar had me loving him big time. Savannah's sweet and snarky humor got a few laughs out of me but mostly it was Stone just being a bigger man. Where are the men like this at? Five excellent stars of entertainment! I loved it!

I feel I could have really liked this book, but there was just a few issues that kept that from happening.
First, the things I enjoyed:
Thinks I didn't like:
For some (or maybe most) this last point wouldn't matter or maybe they wouldn't even notice, but for me it shows a lack of research and fact checking and even though this is a fictional romance story, I still like all of my reads to be as accurate as possible when pulling from real life.
First, the things I enjoyed:
- Stone's relationship with his family. He is close to his brother and mom and the scenes with them are really sweet.
- The interview excerpts at some of the beginning of chapters. They were really well written and I could totally see them being an actual interview with a pro player. I also liked how they seemed to tie into that chapter, even indirectly.
-There was no unnecessary angst. For the most part they had a very mature relationship even if it wasn't always clearly defined.
Thinks I didn't like:
-Stone's and Savannah's conversations. They tried to hard to be constantly witty and I don't think it was always successful.
- I felt the whole point of their relationship was just to make small talk until they could have sex again. I never got the impression that there was more in it than that. I didn't feel their connection.
-And (for me) the biggest issue was the incorrect football references. This is more of a personal pet peeve, but it makes me pause in a story when I see it. For example, Dallas plays Green Bay and the Giants twice. This isn't possible as they are in different divisions and you only play people in your division twice in regular season (assuming this fictional Dallas team is the same as the Cowboys, they'd only play NY twice and GB once). Then, Stone discusses how a win over the Bronco's is important b/c whoever wins gets first place. The Broncos are AFC so their record has no effect on the Wranglers (as it's stated they are NFC). Each conference has separate standings for who makes it to the playoffs. And when the Wranglers win the last game of the regular season, Stone dons a NFC champions hat. You aren't NFC champs until you win the playoff game before the Super Bowl. All they would have been was division champs and they don't hand out hats for that.
For some (or maybe most) this last point wouldn't matter or maybe they wouldn't even notice, but for me it shows a lack of research and fact checking and even though this is a fictional romance story, I still like all of my reads to be as accurate as possible when pulling from real life.

Bad Business is the second book in the Bad Boys of Sports series. These are not connected books except that they are bad boys! Nicole Edwards is one of my go to writers. I just read everything she writes, no matter what. Her writing is so versatile and I always know she's going to entertain the heck out of me from start to finish! Bad Business is the bad boy football quarterback and the sexy daughter of the his boss. Jason Stone is as hot on the field as he is off. Savannah thinks he's a player, but he's so sexy she can't seem to say no. She puts up a good fight, but in the end being his PR rep pushes them together for work and that means…more alone time. Hot, sexy, sweaty alone time. But is a relationship good for his reputation? Is his attraction for Savannah worth the risk? I love me some Jason Stone! He's strong, sexy, funny and a good baller. He's not afraid to tell her and show her how he feels. I'm loving these bad boys of sports!
I've turned into some sort of hormone-driven hussy, but I can't help it. Seriously. I'm so overwhelmed.
"Ah, damn. I've been waiting to hear you say that."
Truthfully that's all that matters.
Well, besides winning the Super Bowl.
That matters, too.

**I received an ARC of this book courtesy of Net Galley and the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely**
I will never pass up an opportunity to read a Nicole Edwards book, especially an ARC that I get to read before the general public. Yet I went into this one with a bit of trepidation. Although I loved the last half of the first book in this series, Bad Reputation, I let it be known it was a slow starter for me. The author’s writing seemed off from her usual style and I wondered if it had to do with this series not being part of her self-published works. Well, I ended up loving this story so I had no need to worry.
The way Savannah and Stone (aka Jason) first officially meet is so fun. What I found the most appealing in that scene was, although the reader knows Savannah is more straight-laced and Stone is the wilder of the two, and the characters seem to know this fact, they really both play the opposite role. Still, there’s no question in Stone’s or the reader’s mind that Savannah is not your everyday groupie/hussy.
Stone is a swoon-worthy hero. He’s aggressive but able to compromise, he’s an alpha male but likes seeing Savannah take charge in life, and there’s nothing that means more to him than his family. He’s very protective of those around him. Best of all, he doesn’t jump to conclusions.
One of the very best things about this book would be a spoiler. Let’s just say, as an avid reader, there are so many scenarios that I predicted playing out as this story unfolded. It’s not that there’s some major plot twist, but the way the story plays out is a very pleasant surprise. I love when a hero and heroine can be adults and still be interesting.
It seems Ms. Edwards has found her groove with this series and now I’m anxiously awaiting what will come next. Oh, and one last thing. Although this is a series, this book can truly be read as a standalone. There is absolutely nothing you’ll miss out on or be confused about if you don’t read these in order. But you should still read them both because Ms. Edwards is a wonderful writer.

This is the 2nd in a series. I did not read the first but I don’t think I missed anything as a result. This one read like a stand alone for me. I loved Jason and Savannah. Their romance was so good. It was a really good sports romance with strong, realistic characters. I like that the story felt real and the hero/heroine felt like actual people. The author didn’t create drama and chaos just for story interest. It was just two mature people falling in love. I really enjoyed this one and plan to go back and read the first in the series.
