Being bad never felt so good. 

SL Scott brings us a second chance, royal, stand-alone romance. Bad Reputation features Hutton Everest. We have already met Hutton’s brother, Ethan, in the romantic suspense Everest. There is just something about those Everest men!

“Relationships are messy.”

It starts out as a chance meeting, an intense attraction with smoldering heat. Fate meets destiny as Hutton meets Ally in a sweet scene on Halloween (no spoilers!). They become…more. They meet up and at first it is all about the chemistry! #SexyTimes – While that is growing and smoldering, so are their feelings toward each other.

We’ve been lying to ourselves and each other. We’re more than what we said. We’re what we felt inside but never shared.

Hutton was a surprise. I expected one thing and got something totally different! I was not disappointed! He is alpha, direct, and of course, gorgeous! Ally is a woman with a lot of power. Hutton is confident in a way that allows him to respect and yield to that power.

And Ally! I loved her! She is confident, unpretentious, thoughtful and determined. Ally also exudes innocence and trust. She had a role in life that she was born into. A path to follow. One that she is determined to fulfill. But life gets in their way. Rules and reputations get caught in the mix of perceptions!

“We used to be a lot simpler.” “Yes, it used to be. But now? Since my lips have tasted yours? It’s no longer simple.”

Bad Reputation is a light and fun read. It is romantic with lots of “royal” references. You will devour the pages quickly! There were several surprising moments that I did not expect. And, we get a visit from our favorite rock band- The Crow Brothers! I enjoyed Bad Reputation and I wonder….There is still one Everest brother left…Can’t wait to see if Bennett can be tamed!

“Are you lost?” “Endlessly without you.”
