This book was just wonderful! I loved Morgan! I‘m in awe of her! Brody was awesome too and had a lot to deal of, but Morgan?!
I don‘t know what it is with books from tijan. But every time i pick up a book from her and starting reading i have a feeling. I‘m tensing, i feel sad, hopeful, i know, it will hurt in a way. And it was the same with this book. In the end i cried so hard because i knew there would be a good bye. And her decision was so hard and i was happy for her the same time!
This book was short but it had so much in it! I felt her connection with the mustangs, i felt the love for them and Brody. There was insta-love, soulmate, found family, a mysterious murder and mustangs 🐴⛰️♥️
There was a scene where she showed up the first time on set. On her sister. And i could feel the magic when she showed up. And when she rode with them? It was so heart-warming. I could just cry when i think about it.
The book title shows you nothing about this awesome story!

Based on the cover and name of this book, you don’t expect much. But surprisingly this book was really good. Dragged on a bit at the end but overall a nice read.

Most disappointing book book by this author that I have ever read. Seems like she only wrote it for the love of horses. As nothing about this made sense. The romance and the pacing was off the kilter. Insta-lust, hero was in love from day 1. And heroine really boring and bland.
Side note: Also when they haven’t even met officially she goes into his room and sniffs and inhale his shirt 😭 weird behaviour!

Bad Boy Body is another do not miss story by the talented Tijan. I'm a huge fan of Tijan and one of the things I love about her is that she can really write anything. Paranormal, YA, New Adult, fighter, mobster. Anything. She always has fresh and unique stories and Bad Boy Brody is definitely one of those. Brody is a Hollywood star. He's recently been called the Bad Boy of Hollywood. When he takes a new movie role that brings him on location he's not happy about it. But as soon as he sees the mystery girl with the horses, he's more than intrigued. What is it about her? Why is she here? Who is she? The family estate holds more than secrets. The family behind the movie isn't exactly easy to work with and he feels like he's being watched all the time. But he can't stop looking for her. Wanting to touch her. Morgan loves her life. She's free. She's alive. She barely remembers when her life was normal. There's something about Brody that calls to her. She lives her life the way she wants, but when she meets him something in her changes. She wants to be with him, but at what cost? I can't give away too much of the story. Just know this. You want to read it. It's so beautiful and heartbreaking. It's magical and tells a much deeper story about love, loss, family, loyalty and pain. I loved Morgan's strength and Brody's protectiveness. Neither of them are what they seem on the surface and I loved going on their journey with them.

Everything about this book was so deep, emotional and heartbreaking. Such a multi-layered storyline with incredible characters and a well thought out plot.
My heart shattered for Brody, it ripped to shreds for Morgan and it was slowly stitched back together piece by piece by their developing relationship and true understanding of one another. Two more unlikely individuals couldn’t have made a better match.
The horses in this book were some of the most endearing characters I’ve ever read, human, animal or otherwise. The bond between animals and humans is one that’s often hard to put into words and Tijan did a sensational job articulating the unbreakable connection. I got quite teary eyed at the end, battling between being sad and being overjoyed for Morgan and her herd.
I listened to this book on audio and the narration was spectacular! The narrators really brought out the emotion and uncertainty of all of the characters. A 5-star read!!!

In Bad Boy Brody, Tijan take you on one hell of a ride. Her characters in this novel are so beautifully written and their storyline is absolutely unique ( Not the same old cliche love story). BBB was so gripping, it pulled me in from the first chapter and wouldn’t let me go until I had finished the book. I really liked both Morgan and Brody as characters. They both go through something terribly tragic that leaves them with mental scars. And don’t even get me started on the mystery behind Morgan’s childhood tragedy! It kept me fully engaged throughout the book and when I finally learned the full story, I was so shocked! I really enjoyed Bad Boy Brody and I can’t wait to read more from this AMAZING author.

3.5-4/// mixed feelings about this book. The very beginning and the ending were my favorite parts. Very angsty and emotional and kind of about letting yourself be free and starting over. I had a weird vibe the whole book so I wasn’t completely in love with it and that may be because I didn’t connect with Morgan’s character but I did like the interaction between Morgan and Brody. I liked it but I feel like I would definitely change some things about the book. The plot was definitely all over the place and I was kind of disappointed overall.

Bad Boy Brody tells the story of how a movie comes to be produced and the people involved. Yet while this story definitely is defined by the movie, teh characters are where the interest lays fo us readers. Because there are some secrets the family that is hosting the movie keeps and one of those secrets is a child of the couple featured in the movie.
Brody, AKA Bad Boy Brody, is an actor that has fell on some hard times when he loses his brother in a car accident and starts acting out. While still grieving the loss of his brother, Brody is required by his agent to star in a movie telling the story of a family tragedy based off of Morgan's mother and step-father.
- Morgan is the heroine in this story -
Morgan is the type of character which prefers horses over people, and in particular, a group of wild mustangs which runs along her property where the film is being held. Enter Brody. Moran immediately captures Brody's attention and soon a mutual attraction blooms between them as they work past some drama from both of their pasts.
This book is pretty different from Tijan's previous novels and series. While yes, they do still have some traumatic experiences, but the focus of the book is more on their romance together and not on just one of the characters specifically. I really liked this alternating perspectives because it gave me a more in-depth look to each what character is thinking.
I loved these characters way more than I though I was going to. They were raw, there was drama, and their romance is explosive. It was so much fun to get involved in this book and become attached to Brody and Morgan.
Overall this is one of my favorite reads from Tijan and I actually would love to see these characters again! Maybe a branch off book with Brody's sister-in-law? Or maybe one of Morgan's step-siblings? I just need more of these characters and their lives because even though this book was amazing... it's never enough!
