Once Upon a Bad Boy by Melonie Johnson

Once Upon a Bad Boy (Sometimes in Love, #3)

by Melonie Johnson

Former soap opera star Sadie Gold is determined to overcome her reputation as a spoiled rich girl with more connections than talent. She’s thrilled to score a coveted role in a blockbuster movie - until she learns that the stunt man training her is Bo Ibarra, the guy Sadie lost her heart to years ago.

Sadie and Bo haven’t seen each other in a decade, and their reunion is bringing up desires they haven’t felt since they were teenagers. But Sadie has been holding onto a secret from their past she is desperate to keep hidden.

When a tabloid splashes the secret across the headlines, both of them are shaken from the fallout. Can Sadie convince Bo to take a chance on them again? One thing’s for sure, happy endings don’t come as easily in real life as they do in the movies.

I truly enjoyed this book. It wasn't memorable by any means, but still very cute and adorable. First off, I'd like to say I think the title is misleading. Bo is not a bad boy and has never been a bad boy at all. Sure, he would be kinda reckless but that's pretty much it. I was expecting those bad boy vibes since I just love bad boys! It's sad I didn't get it :(

I do love second-chance romances and this one was just adorable! Back in prom night, Bo had broken up with Sadie just because. He never gave a real explanation. All these years, Sadie has never forgotten Bo. When she starts to shoot a new movie, Bo is the stunt coordinator and that means Sadie and Bo will be spending a lot of time together.

It was so sweet to see these two characters slowly come together. Bo is such a wonderful man and the way he treats his family, especially his nephew is so heart-warming! I was rooting hard for him and Sadie to finally get together and air out the elephant in the room. I do think some things could have been dealt with better than they were.

I haven't read the previous books in the series but I just loved the girls! This friendship of women is amazing! I love their support for one another. It's one of the things that I truly loved about this book.

Overall, there's not much to say about Once Upon a Bad Boy, exxcept that it is sweet and endearing!
