Bad for a Weekend by Misty Walker

5.0

Owen and Baylor. A bodyguard romance. Age gap. A dash of angst and a whole lot of spice. I thoroughly devoured this book!

Baylor (Age 18) is the daughter of a famous actor and with that comes some hardcore reality.
Baylor was kidnapped from what everyone thought was a deranged fan possibly.
She’s in the public eye. She’s pretty. And she’s getting threats from someone…
Her father with huge guilt hires a bodyguard.
Owen. (Age 32) is trying to piece his life back together after a horrific and life altering moment in his life. In therapy and having a new job, being the babysitter to some teenager wasn’t life goals for him but when these two get to know eachother , they realize they have something in common. PTSD. Panic Attacks. Anxiety.

I didn’t realize how emotionally charged this book would be. It’s way more than just smut. These two are slowly intertwined into eachothers souls.

“Equal amounts of shame and desire course through my body. She’s barely legal and in a completely different stage of life than I am. I have no business being this drawn to her.”

“I’m asking for three nights. During the day you can be a grumpy asshole. But after everyone’s gone to bed, you drop the act and do everything you’ve ever dreamed about to me.”

“Come on, Owen. Be bad with me.”

These two have one night of fire. Everything Baylor ever wanted in a man, it’s all in Owen. But Baylor and Owen met in a time where they still had their own healing to do from their tragic pasts.
And a push and pull. It’s angsty. It’s emotional. And this book brings a lot of hard topics so check the trigger warnings.
It’s a romance. A good one. With an HEA.
