Good Girl Fail by Roni Loren
4.0
Thank you to team Roni Loren for sending me an e-ARC of this book. All opinions are my own, and I was not obligated or paid to post a review.
If you were a fan of Roni’s Loving on the Edge series, then you’re really gonna love this one.
It is a M/M/F erotic romance, similar to Jace/Evan/Andre from Melt Into You. O’Neal is a sheltered orphan trying to escape her grandparent’s thumb; Auden is her best friend’s older brother; and Lennox is a brooding artist. So O’Neal throws caution to the wind and enrolls at Bennette college against her grandparent’s wishes. Auden is the only person she knows there. But she’s harbored a crush on him for a while…and when things beat up between Auden, Lennox, and O’Neal, will their old friendship survive?
I’m a sucker for the friends to lovers trope. Combine it with some smoking hot scenes, unbelievable chemistry, and Loren’s knack for creating likable characters, and you have the formula for an amazing read. O’Neal and Lennox were good foils for Auden’s stubborn streak. I was also surprised at how much I liked the character of Quyen. I’m a little bit hopeful she maybe gets her HEA down the road.
The only thing I can fault the book for was the ages. I wish they’d been bumped up just a bit, but that’s just personal preference. The ages also didn’t seem set in stone, but that could be tightened up during the proofreading and editing stage (since this is an ARC, it’s not a perfectly polished gem).
