Bad for You (Dirty Deeds, #3)

by J. Daniels

"If you're a fan of Kristen Ashley, then you will love this book." -Aestas Book Blog on Four Letter Word

He didn't want to be bad. He just didn't have a choice...
Shayla Perkins isn't the kind of girl who makes the same mistake twice, especially when it comes to Sean "Stitch" Molina. So when he gives her the world's biggest rejection, that's it--she's done. Until the sexy, silent, unavailable Sean makes Shay a very personal offer. Of course, it still doesn't mean he's interested in her. Or does it?

Sean has done things in life. Bad things. And he's paid the price. All he wants now is to make up for his past by doing good in the present. And no one deserves more good than Shay. Beautiful on the inside and out, Shay is the kind of woman who should be cared for and protected--especially from a man like Sean. He's tried to keep his feelings for her in check, but a single, reckless impulse pulls them closer than ever before.

Soon the two are sharing their biggest dreams and satisfying their deepest desires. But what will happen if the only way to truly give each other what they want most...is to let each other go?

"The perfect mix of funny, hot and heartwarming. I enjoyed it immensely!" --Mia Sheridan, New York Times bestselling author, on Four Letter Word

J. Daniels’ Bad for You is actually really, really good for you.

Sean Molina had a hard childhood with a junkie mother who couldn’t care about him and a father who took off to start another family. He started stealing at a young age. It started when he needed new sneakers that actually fit for school and a child’s realization that if he needed something, and there were no adults to provide it to him, he would simply have to take it. As he got older, the things he needed or wanted got bigger and more expensive until we get to the night he was arrested for stealing a car and was arrested in front of his little girls.

After getting out of prison, Sean knew he was lucky to land a job as a cook at Whitecaps. The only thing that isn’t perfect about his job is Shayla Perkins. Sean has way too much interest in seeing Shayla every day. She is everything that is light and beautiful and he can’t get enough of listening to her or looking at her smile, which is why it isn’t a good thing for Sean. Someone as broken and worthless as he is doesn’t deserve the attention or the looks that Shayla throws his way.

A few months ago, he shut down her attempt to ask him out and while he hates the cold shoulder she now gives him, he knows that is all someone like him deserves from someone like her.

After a year of working as many shifts as he could, he had enough to buy a little house, rundown and needing just about everything, but it was a house he could make a home for his girls. That is, if he ex-wife ever let him see them again. What Sean doesn’t know is that it is Shayla who convinces his ex-wife to give him an opportunity to try to be a father again to his girls.

Shayla, with her bright smile and infectious laugh, teaches Sean that he is a man of worth, and one worthy enough to open his heart to her.

It was hard to see how years of neglect made it so easy for Sean to see himself as not worthy of the good things that have come his way but Shayla has the tenacity to stand strong against Sean’s inner demons and teach him to see himself as they all do.

This was a sweet and enjoyable romance.

Received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.Oh, how I loved Shayla and Sean!  If ever there was a case of opposites attracting, it was these two.  But Shayla and her friends ended up being the exact thing that Sean needed to understand the true value of family and what it's like to be loved.

Sean was rough, gruff and didn't say much, but there was something about him that intrigued Shayla...even when he blew her off and she tried her hardest to move on.  But when Shayla really needed someone to lean on, it was Sean who came to her rescue.  Sean who helped her brother deal with his emotions.  And it was Sean who showed her what it was like to be a Mama Bear and protect someone you love.  If ever there was someone who needed protection and love, it was Sean.  And Mama Bear Shayla was going to be there to slay all his dragons.

BAD FOR YOU was an angsty, emotional read.  It was different and I loved these characters.  A definite must-read for 2018.
