The Good Girl by Nikki Sloane
5.0

I LOVED this so much! I am in no way surprised that this is my favorite out of the 4 I have read. Nothing makes me crazier than the good girl kink. Bring a bucket and a mop... I am a puddle.

I hated Preston in The Doctor, but he really gets his redemption arc in this one. His relationship with his dad and Cassidy has really developed over time. I loved at the end when
Spoiler Preston realizes that the reason Greg and Cassidy won't get married is because they "know" he won't approve. He immediately gives his blessing, and I was so happy for them! It just shows his growth.


I really loved Sydney. I always wanted to be a chef when I was her age, so I loved reading about a character with that same dream.

I enjoyed the overall storyline of this one. Sydney has done everything her parents have asked of her her entire life. They are also very strict. Like keep the door wide open, and 11pm curfew strict. This girl is 20 BTW. She is a GOOD GIRL hence the title. So when her parents break a promise to her, she wants to rebel. Enter Preston, her long-time crush, who has no problem helping her learn how to be "bad." The only problem is that she is his best friend and business partner's baby sister, and he has already been told to stay away.

I love the chemistry between these two! Truly enjoyed the development of their relationship. This is not my favorite, "he teaches her" trope, but it was still enjoyable. I may be biased on my love for this one because there were plenty of "good girls" to go around, even when she was being bad and I lived for it.

SpoilerThere is a third act break-up. However, I really enjoyed how Preston repairs his relationship with Collin but also basically tells him to grow up and stop asking him to choose between his friend and his love.
The grand gesture he puts together with the help of his friends, I adored! He knows her dream is to be a personal chef, and with help, he is able to give her a chance at her dream! He also invites her parents and shoves in their face how wonderful she is, so they can't ignore it!

The spice was excellent in this one like all of the others from the series! The dirty talk... good heavens.

This was the first time I listened to a book narrated by Mollie Stark or Carson Beck. They did a fantastic job!
