Book Review: Bad Boys to Go

Bad Boys to Go

Bad Boys to Go is an anthology with three different authors: Lori Foster, Janelle Danison and Nancy Warren.  All three stories share the same similarity that the main male characters are considered "bad boys" but really aren't.

Bringing up Baby by Lori Foster is about bad boy Gil Watson who had a wild one night stand that made him a father.  It isn't until his daughter is about 2 years old that he finds out that he is a father.  But the mother is tragically killed and her best friend has been the only mother this little girl knows.

This story was fun and funny.  While it is only about 100 pages there is enough detail to keep you interested. This is different from a lot of the other romance anthologies that I have read because the two main characters have known each other for quite some time.  So their romance is plausible.

The Wilde One by Janelle Denison is about bad boy Adrian Wilde who is an extreme outdoors man and Chayse Douglas who is a photographer who wants him to pose for her hunk calender.  He on the other hand is not enthused about it so she must find a way to persuade him.

This is another fun and funny story that is light with just enough smut and romance to keep me interested.  Again, the two main characters have a history so the story takes place right at the climax of their relationship budding into something more.

Going After Adam by Nancy Warren is a little different than the the other two stories.  Gretchen Wiest's main objective is to go after cheating spouses since she is a private investigator.  But when she is hired to to after Adam Stone she is in for more than what she bargained for.  One: he isn't married, two: he has people after him to kill him.

This also follows the fun and funny story line, but there is immediate romance with out a past between the two main characters.  But I have to say the hilarious funny parts were a lot more than the other two stories.

All three stories have very detailed romantic scenes so if that isn't your thing I wouldn't consider the book.  But it isn't as vulgar as what true erotica is but the language sometimes borders on porno language.  The stories are around 100 pages each and you can easily read each on with in an hour before bed if you would like.  They all have pretty well detailed plots for short stories and they are fun to read.

I originally picked up because I have read a few of Lori Foster's book and liked her writing style and was pleasantly surprised by the other two authors.

Over all, this is a very fun book to read.  The stories were fun and fast with romance and hilarity.  Each held the proper amount of detail but didn't weigh it down to make it seem like you were reading a story more than 100 pages.
