I didn’t think I was going to like Bad Reputation from reading the blurb and almost passed it over on NetGalley. I debated on requesting it because I wasn’t sure that I was going to like it. When it comes down to it, the cover made me request it. Yup, you read that right. I requested the book because of the cover. Something about the female and male model made me go…hrmmm, I should read the book. I needed to know if my image of Cassie and Chase would live up to the cover that the author picked out. Guess, what, it did and I enjoyed reading the book.

I liked Cassie. If she was a real, live person instead of a fictional character, I could see myself going to the bar with her, Natalie and Chase. Or hanging out with her and watching Chase playing hockey on TV. She was so sweet in the book. She did have her issues but hey, doesn’t everyone. I thought she was the cutest character that I had read about to date.

Chase, I liked too…even if he was a bit of a horndog in the beginning of the book. He made me laugh several times during the book and when a hot, main character can do that….it’s a good thing.

I loved the relationship between Cassie and Chase even before they hooked up in Vegas. It was friendship, pure and simple. And when they hooked up….oh my goodness, it was hot. And it was hot all the other times afterward.

The end of the book was great. I liked how everything fell together. But the epilogue was my favorite part. Not going to say why. You are just going to have to read the book!!
