ABOUT THE BOOK:

Enemies turn to lovers, but can they trust each other as they chase the same prize? A sexy romantic comedy adventure from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely…

I live my life by three simple rules. Don’t mix business with pleasure. Always work solo. And family comes first.

But when I head to the tropics for a quick job and meet a fiery woman who makes my pulse roar, I can’t resist bending the first rule for her.

Trouble is, after we spend a scorching night together on the beach, I discover she’s my new enemy. The quick-witted and clever beauty is on a treasure hunt for the same damn prize – beating me in a race to find millions in stolen diamonds.

See you later, sexy stranger.

Too bad I keep bumping into my gorgeous rival all over this tropical paradise as we chase clues.

Maybe it’s better to partner up. But, the more time we spend together sneaking into nightclubs and art galleries, the harder it is to keep my hands off her. And soon, I’m not just sleeping with my very irresistible enemy.

I’m starting to give her my heart.

That breaks my biggest rule of all. Don’t ever fall in love. Because it always screws you over.

*Note: A Real Good Bad Thing will be entirely new to most of you! Some of you might have read an older series of mine called The Jewel series (now off sale). That two-book storyline serves as the source material for this new story, which has been changed to 1st person, and turned into a standalone, with all new dialogue, motivations, setting and so on! But if there’s a touch of the familiar to some of you that’s why!

A Real Good Bad Thing by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

#FunFact: The Jewel series/duet was my introduction to Lauren, and I haven’t looked back! I love that she has taken an already great (to me) storyline and reimagined (for lack of another term) it into something new that’s fun and sexy and flirty and a really good time!! I remember only the basics of what it was before and this is just sooooo much better and also very much on-brand for who Lauren is today as an author. In my opinion that is … do with that what you will :)

I loved the premise of the scavenger hunt because it gave the storyline a built-in circumstance that makes you flip the pages no matter what because who doesn’t want to at least find out who’s gonna win! lol Top that with Lauren’s signature character chemistry and sparks were flying everywhere and I for one enjoyed the heck out of this read!

This isn’t an afternoon read kind of story, or at least it wasn’t for me because there is a lot of story here, but you will still want to read none-stop! I mean isn’t that the greatest feeling in the world?! Just me … I don’t think so. I’ve always said how a story makes you feel is ridiculously important to your overall experience and this story made me all kinds of happy!! Go forth and enjoy!
