Return of the Bad Boy (Second Chance, #3)

by Jessica Lemmon

HE'S A MESS...
Lead singer and self-proclaimed rock god Asher Knight has a problem. He's gone from a guy who thought the road was all he'd ever need to learning he is the father of a three-year-old from a relationship past. Now if only he could convince his agent-slash-only-woman-he's-ever-loved that it's her he's fallen for, and he's ready to settle down.

ONLY SHE CAN CLEAN UP
Gloria Shields has long prided herself on learning life's lessons the first time. Until Asher. She has let the silver-tongued devil talk her back into bed one too many times. Now pregnant with his child, how can she deliver that news on a doorstep next to Asher's newfound son?

What Fate has planned, let no man set asunder. Asher and Gloria have always been compatible-arguably have always been right for each other. From tearful moments of pinpoint insight to igniting the sheets on many a sweaty night. If only Gloria can let go of the past, and Asher can finally grow up, these two stubborn hearts might finally get to see their own happily ever after.

Coffee dates with Return of the Bad Boy

• First Date: We have witnessed Asher and Gloria’s on again off again romance since the beginning and I could not wait to begin this first date. Asher is a sexy rocker and children’s book writer. He was a huge playboy until Gloria. Gloria believes Asher cheated on her with a groupie, but Asher denies being with any other woman when they were together. Asher wants Gloria in his life, but a series I complications have prevented him from pursuing her. There is no denying the chemistry between them and I desperately want them to have their HEA. The ride is about to get rocky, because Asher knows exactly what he wants….and Gloria is a skittish deer.


• Second date: Complications, sexy sweet moments and push and pull between these two make up our second date. Asher is making an effort to show Gloria how he feels. Gloria has had a rough go of it, and has built walls to protect herself. Seeing Asher chip away at those walls kept me flipping the pages. Lemmon brought the heat and did not bat an eye at melting my kindle. It was frustrating  watching these two at times. I seriously thought about leaving them stranded out on the water for a few hours. Despite Gloria’s fears it is evident to everyone these two are fated. Secondary characters, puppies and a cute three-year-old added interest and updated us on earlier couples.


• Third date: Asher is not perfect and seeing him make decisions and discover how much more he wants from life –a life he wants for himself, Gloria and his son made me swoon. Jordan the baby mama created some issues. Asher’s reaction to them only made me fall harder. The man is sexy and classy. Gloria has reached the point where she wants to believe and we begin to see her hope. I loved this last date. Seeing Gloria blossom not just with Asher but opening up to her girlfriends and the Cove just made me smile. I ended this date in a happy place despite being sad that this series has reached its end.
