Good Girl Gone Bad

Marco Giordano needs to convince the hair salon owner to sell, he needs the location to build a garage. Trying to find himself a fiancée to please his ailing grandmother was complicated enough without having to deal with this Lily Jenkins person’s stubbornness. A client entering her salon put a stop to Lily’s musings, and when she looks at him, he takes her breath away. Everyone is welcome, she needs the business, but was she expecting him? When she mistakes him for a client, Marco goes along with it, but the sparks that fly leave them both stunned and aching, and Lily throws caution to the wind, and they end up having a quickie in the supply room. She doubted that he usually patronizes her type of salon, and when she asks him, Marco knows his answer will not go down well with the lovely hair dresser. Carmen Falcone knows how to make things hotter than hot, and GOOD GIRL GONE BAD has to be her hottest ever! Yet, it is a marvellously sweet story that will give you little shivers of happiness at how lovely Marco and Lily act towards each other, regardless of the scorching sex. Lily and Marco fall in unstoppable lust nearly at first sight, and I had no problem with this as the romance took a while to fully develop. I loved Lily and Marco’s conversations, as well as the banter between Lily and her mother; such brilliant yet simple dialogues. Marco had a heartbreaking backstory, which justified his reluctance to commit. Carmen Falcone knows precisely just how far to push the boundaries, she made me care, she made me all hot and bothered, and the glorious ending to GOOD GIRL GONE BAD made this super hot story all the more satisfying. We all need this man who will bring us lilies …

This book is from the authors new series, Dirty Debts, and is sooo good that once I started I didn't put it down till the last period. The story has great characters, both are serious, funny, sexy and filled with guilt. The heroine is trying to keep her families business afloat while keeping problems from her mother. The hero has tragic secrets from his past and has grown into a man who wants no emotional ties; so dedicated to this that he has no romantic or business dealings without a signed contract. He needs her property for his new venture, and she's not willing to part with a business her mother built up from scratch. He offers a solution that is hard to pass up, but she must sign a contract and any break of that contract will mean losing her business. She's a preachers daughter and has no intention of hurting her mother, but can she do what the contract entails? I do my best not to give spoilers so I've tried here to give the overall view of the story. But there is SO MUCH MORE in between the lines. This is one hot read and is for OVER 18 ONLY READERS; but for us lucky ones over the age, the book is filled with snarky humor, emotional sensual feelings so volatile that it hits the both of them right from the start. So if you like sexy reads filled with emotions and humor, don't pass this one up.

This was a good one. It gets quite steamy so a cold glass of water is good to have handy. I wasn't so sure of Marco at first, but I shouldn't have worried because he won me over very quickly. You can fell the instant chemistry between the two. Though they are on opposite sides because Marco and his brother want her salon for development. She won't give it up without a fight so an arrangement is set between the two. It had a great balance of heat and story.
