My Week with the Bad Boy by Kennedy Fox

5.0

Vada is on a terrible writer's block and flies to Charleston for one week in hopes of gaining some inspiration. She rents a place to stay from a guy online. Everything is fine up until the moment a hot shirtless guy answers the door… I mean, who does that?! (But just so you know, if a man like Ethan answers my door shirtless, I won’t complain. Nope, not one single bit. *wink*)

Ethan is the bad boy of the town. Everyone knows him, some (let's be honest, most women) have been with him. He is the man Vada writes about in her novels.

Ethan is the sexy player with a dirty mouth while Vada is what appears to be snobbish and uptight. After they get over their initial feud, Ethan finds the perfect way to spark inspiration in Vada. And man it was hot!

I loved both of these characters. Right from the start, I was smiling like a fool reading their banter. They are so cute and adorable.
Just after a few pages, Ethan stole my heart. My heart broke for what he had to go through. His vulnerability and honest raw emotions were enough to break me and make my heart ache for him. I hurt seeing him hurt.

Reading this book, I felt all the emotions. The humor and happiness of their lighthearted and witty banter, the raw emotions from both their hurtful past and the strong love they had for each other.
I truly admired Ethan’s patience and understanding nature. But I was really annoyed with what Vada put him through. I feel like on Vada’s part, things could’ve been done a lot differently and still have the space that she needed to overcome her issue on her own.

I am not proud to admit that I have never read any books by these authors. But I am very glad that I picked this book up because I truly enjoyed it. Their writing is beautiful and I found the plot to be unique and touching. It had everything that makes a romance novel great.

With that being said, I am definitely looking forward to more books from this series and eager to read more books from these authors.

This was truly a great novel and I would recommend this to anyone who has a love for bad boys and witty banter, with just the right amount of emotions and angst. A solid 5/5 stars from me.
