I liked it. Good character progression. Good ending. Good romance.
While Elle Kennedy can always be relied upon to serve a classic romance novel, Bad Girl Reputation was an exciting new twist for fans of her previous works. Following a complicated couple through difficult life transitions, Kennedy was able to not only have me rooting for Gen and Evan to end up together, but also hoping that they would end up finding the best versions of themselves along the way. Kennedy did not disappoint with this one, and I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for the Avalon Bay series in the future.

Very low three stars. It was better than book one but still not nearly as good as the other books Ive read by her. I'm going to keep going down my Elle Kennedy path because I do love/like everything else I've read by her just not this series.

I did not read Good Girl but was able to follow along pretty easily. This is a second chance, friends to lovers story between Evan and Genevieve. Gen is brought back to Avalon Bay for her mother’s funeral and then stays to help out the family business.
Gen thought abruptly leaving town was the best way to fix/end her relationship with Evan. Meanwhile Evan was completely torn up and hurt by her actions. Genevieve fixed up her reputation while she was away, but will Evan be able to do the same so they can have a real shot at love? Evan and Gen still have so much chemistry between them that I was frequently begging them to just finally get together!

Definitely better than the first book. This one was better written and more interesting
