Got it Bad: A Bad Boys Gone Good Novel (Bad Boys Gone Good, #3)

by Christi Barth

In USA Today bestseller Christi Barth’s last Bad Boys Gone Good novel, the brother who’s always followed the rules finally gets to be a little bad.

Kellan Maguire was a semester away from becoming a lawyer when his life imploded. Now he’s in Witness Protection, hiding from the mob and mad as hell that his brothers lied to him about, oh, everything. The only bright spot in his new life is their drop-dead-gorgeous U.S. Marshal handler. Yeah, he wants to handle her... a lot.

Federal Marshal Delaney Evans has protected her fair share of dangerous criminals. But Kellan is a whole different kind of dangerous—dangerously hot, to be specific. The charming, handsome, and utterly law-abiding Maguire brother got under her skin the moment they met and the more time she spends with him, the harder it is to deny their attraction. Delaney’s willing to give Kellan one night—to get him out of her system—and then it’s over.

Except one night isn’t enough and soon they’re breaking every rule of WITSEC to be together. Kellan’s got it bad for her, but Delaney’s career, her entire life, would fall apart if anyone found out. And then the biggest complication of all hits…

“This series gets better with each installment. The retelling of the story from each brother’s point of view adds depth and provides the chance to revisit characters you fell in love with in the previous books.” - Library Journal

I'm not sure if it was my mood or what, but my recent reads haven't quite worked out for me lately. This was a first time read from this author and the synopsis intrigued me, so I couldn't wait to start.  I found myself struggling a bit to get through this book, so it ended up being an OK read for me. I definitely want to give the other books in this series a try and then re-read Got It Bad.

The synopsis is what really pulled at me to read this book and for the most the storyline was ok. The situation that Delaney and Kellan were in was something that I haven't quite read before or well haven't read in a long time. I felt so bad for Kellan and the circumstances he was brought under because of his brothers' decisions. His brothers; Got It Bad is book 3 in this series and I highly advise you read those two before jumping into this one. I think that was another big reason why I wasn't able to connect with this book at all. It felt like I was missing a bigger part of the story and I think it lies with his brothers. It all ties in since they're the main reason why Kellan is essentially in hiding.

I did love the romance between Kellan and Delaney. Kellan was absolutely sweet and charming to Delaney, it was so cute. It frustrated me a bit that Delaney would always put a timestamp on their relationship. When it comes to love, there's always a way!

I really wanted to enjoy this more, but was just hoping for so much more with the storyline. I'm definitely not writing this book off because I still need to read the other books and I'll be able to make the connections a lot better. I still enjoyed this one, it's definitely a sweet read!
