Bringing Home the Bad Boy by Jessica Lemmon

Bringing Home the Bad Boy (Second Chance, #1)

by Jessica Lemmon

Evan Downey needs a new beginning. Since the death of his wife five years ago, the brilliant tattoo artist has shut himself away in a prison of grief that not even his work can break him out of-and what's worse, Evan knows his son Lyon is bearing the brunt of his seclusion. Moving back to the lake town of Evergreen Cove where he spent his childhood summers is his last chance for a fresh start.

Charlotte Harris knows she owes it to her best friend's memory to help Evan and his son find their way again but she can't stop her traitorous heart from skipping a beat every time she looks into Evan's mesmerizing eyes. Charlotte is determined to stay strictly in the Friend Zone - until a mind-blowing night knocks that plan by the wayside. Now, if they're brave enough to let it, Charlotte and Evan might just find a love capable of healing their broken hearts . . .

I'm in love. Ms. Lemmon has been floating around in my "authors I must read" bubble for a while.
Every excerpt I read, every review I read, screamed at me... "you need to read her."

You know you've found an author you're going to love when you find yourself chasing down and following the author on every social media platform that you can find and you're not even half way through the book. Yeah, that was me.

I LOVED Evan. No ifs ands or buts. He didn't let his past hold him back where his new feelings for Charlie is concerned. Charlie, I'll admit, frustrated me a bit as she tried to push him away. But Evan has a delicious amount of alpha male in him that kept him completely focused on pursuing Charlie and not giving up on her.

I loved this book and I cannot wait to read the rest of this series!!
