Summary: Absolutely Amazing!!!
Review: As a reader of all the "Bad Boy" titles, this one was by far the best. I especially enjoyed Shannon Mckenna's story, "Meltdown". This story was unbelievably erotic and I hope there will be a story about both secondary characters also.Donna Kauffman's, "Exposed" was equally intriguing, centered around two strangers who meet on a train in a snowstorm.. all I can say is "Wow". This was one trilogy I could not put down.. I read it in just a few hours.

Summary: Oh The Bad Boys Are Back
Review: Bad Boys Next Exit brings together three steamy stories.

Shannon McKenna's Meltdown has headhunter Jane Duvall having a meeting with the general manager of the Crowne Royale Group of hotels posing as a travel writer. But the GM is called away and instead she meets the CEO Michael "Mac" McNamara. Their attraction is explosive and Jane decides to indulge in a fantasy with Mac. Mac cannot get Jane out of his mind after their initial fiery meeting. They agree to meet again and it's a night of passion and betrayals. Shannon McKenna writes another highly erotic story. Jane and Mac will be remembered for their fire, passion and heart.

Exposed by Donna Kauffman has two strangers meeting on a train. Delilah Hudson was on vacation taking pictures as she travels. Del meets fellow photographer Austin Morgan. Austin is returning home after his abusive fathers death. Del and Austin connect on so many levels. Their passion is all consuming but can they make it past the train ride. Ms. Kauffman's story is so titillating, a very enjoyable read.

Pure Ginger by E.C. Sheedy has Ginger Cameron trying to change her image. Gone are the sexy outfits, over the top ways and most of all drop dead gorgeous men. This proves to be a problem when for her PR firm she meets Cal Beaumann, who wants to hire Ginger. Cal is thrown by this frumpy looking woman. Ginger is not what he envisioned helping him launch his new cinema. But Cal sees beneath Gingers tone down look to see the real woman inside. Cal and Ginger have a connection that leaps off the page.

Bad Boys Next Exit is a great addition to the Bad Boys stories.

Summary: Meltdown an absolute scorcher!
Review: I bought this book because Shannon McKenna was part of the anthology. I was not disappointed. This story is a new favorite of mine! Jane Duvall is a corporate headhunter who tries to steal an employee from Michael McNamara's hotel. They are attracted to each other, but Jane has trouble letting down her guard and Michael also has issues with being vulnerable. The characters are intense, with an alpha male hero who knows what he wants and a shy heroine who feels he won't want the real her. The sex scenes almost melted my eyelashes! Definitely read this one!

Unfortunately, I was disappointed after that. "Meltdown" was 130 pages and I would have preferred it to be a stand-alone book. "Exposed" by Donna Kauffman was approximately 90 pages, not enough time to get into the characters. It's about two people stranded on a train during Christmas. The mutual attraction causes them to make for the sleeper car to explore the attraction. There was a little too much internal dialogue and the sex scenes were bland compared to "Meltdown".

The last story, "Pure Ginger" by E.C. Sheedy, was even shorter at 80 pages. Ginger Cameron is a woman with a history of falling for bad men. She gives herself a dowdy makeover and resolves to be celibate for the next 2 years. Enter Cal Beaumann, an owner of a new movie theater who hires Ginger to do the PR. At first, reluctant to hire Ginger because of her marmish appearance, he becomes intrigued with the woman behind the facade. He pursues her and she stuggles with wanting him and wanting to keep her resolution. The couple definitely threw off sparks and had chemistry. I would have enjoyed it more if the story were longer.

I think it would have been better if "Meltdown" was last. Unfortunately, it was the best and a hard act to follow.

Summary: Nice to See the Turn Back to Greatness
Review: I loved the first two anthologies (I Love Bad Boys, I Brake For Bad Boys), the third was still good but slipping and Bad Boys to Go didn't do much for me at all. However, with Bad Boys Next Exit we see a return to the surprising and edgy tone that made me pick the first book up to begin with.

My favorite story of the three was Shannon McKenna's, Meltdown. McKenna is an author I discovered through these anthologies and I haven't been disappointed with anything she's written yet. Smart, edgy, sexy and unique, the heat between Mac and Jane is palpable and the sex scenes are amazing. EC Sheedy, a new author discovery for me, writes the my second favorite. Ginger is a smart successful woman with insecurities, Cal is the sexy man who sees beneath the dumpy clothes she wears to keep away men just like him. Nice chemistry, hot love scenes. Donna Kauffman's story was my least favorite but it was still really quite good.

As with most romantica books of the genre, you get characters who find and declare love quite quickly and usually end up married or engaged. Not the most realistic scenario in the world but it is a work of fiction and a little bit of love at first sight is not a bad thing.

All in all, well written, great characters with sizzling chemistry. A fabulous return to the first highly readable books in the series. The series has brought authors like Erin McCarthy, Shannon McKenna and Janelle Denison to my attention and I'll be adding EC Sheedy as well.
