Danika hasn’t had an easy life. Being insanely
attracted to bad boys has never helped make it easier.
One look at Tristan, and every brain cell she
possessed went up in smoke. This man was trouble with a capital T. It was a
given.
She knew better. Bad boys were bad. Especially
for her. Considering her history, it was crazy to think otherwise. So why did
crazy have to feel so damn fine?
For as long as she could remember, Danika had
been focused on the future with single-minded purpose. Tristan came along and
taught her everything there was to know about letting go, and living in the
present. She fell, hard and deep. Of course, that only made her impact with the
ground that much more devastating.
R.K. Lilley lives in Colorado with her husband
and their two beautiful sons. She's had a lot of interesting jobs, from being a
first class flight attendant, to being a stablehand, but swears she never knew
what hard work was until she had children. She's been addicted to both reading
and writing fiction since she can remember. She loves to travel, read, hike,
paint, game, watch anime, and make the most of every single day. She is the
author of the erotic romance novels In Flight, Mile High, Grounded, and the
novella, Lana.
A review from my good friend - Luna Sol
I’ve been waiting for this book ever since I met Tristan and
Danika in the Up in the Air series. All I can say is that I loved this book
from the cover to the dedication to their story that evoked all different types
of emotions in me. I could not put it down and I still have a book hangover
over Bad Things.
The story is told with dual POV. This is my preferred choice
as you get to know each character’s thoughts with intensity.
Danika is a 21 year old university student and dancer who
works as a nanny for a family with two boys. She is very close to this family
and considers Bev her best friend. While working for this family she meets
Tristan, who calls himself a club promoter. Danika comes from a dysfunctional
family, her craving for love has given her heartache and when she meets Tristan
for the first time her premonition is that this badass man is “trouble with
capital T.”
Danika believes in relationships and she is opposed to one
night stands for the sake of just sex. Tristan is just the opposite, he doesn't do relationships and just wants casual sex. I loved Danika from the beginning.
I loved her honesty, her ability to give, to love, to try to be a better
person, to be a good friend.
And what can I say about Tristan, he is hot, caring, the
biggest flirt ever and a very good friend to Danika. And he loves to cook, yes
he does!!
“I’d wanted him from the moment I’d laid eyes on him,
but something integral inside of me changed with that kiss. I needed him,
needed something that our relationship did for me, and I decided with that kiss
to stop being such a pussy about it.” ~Danika

They form a friendship and a bond that becomes an addiction.
The flirting becomes intense and they even make “The Friends Don’t List” to
keep the relationship on a friends level. Let’s just say that it did not work
and when Danika and Tristan had their first kiss I was jumping up and down with
excitement. They fall
in love and they have a volatile relationship, fights, make up sex, very hot
make up sex, dancing and drinking every night, more sex.
Tristan showed Danika what good sex is all about and she
discovered a whole new different connection she never experienced before.
“I want you to let go. I want you to submit. I want to
make you lose your mind. I want you to be so far gone that the only word left
in your vocabulary is my name.” ~Tristan
I was ecstatic to see Frankie in this book and made me feel
nostalgic for my friends when you have those drunk conversations and provide
too much information. I laughed so much with these two. I liked seeing Danika “pretty”, she was funny
and if you read the book you know what that means.
Sorrow and pain plays an important role in this book. It is
ultimately what brings Danika and Tristan to face reality and I cried so much
during this time I had swollen eyes. I ached for them and I am sure by the
title of the next book Rock Bottom, I will continue to do so but I can ‘t wait
to read it.

“I told you that I
needed you. But now I need you to survive. Forever. I won’t live through this
without you, and I’m selfish for telling you that, but it’s the truth.”~Tristan
Another bonus is Mr.
James Cavendish aka Mr. Beautiful makes his appearances and everyone drools
over him, of course! Five big stars!!!
"Most likely to be arrested? Hanging out with Tristan" - I love those kinds of bad boys. :)
ReplyDeleteA book that somebody loves from the cover to the dedication to their story just screams PERFECT!
