Rating: Summary: Disappointing Review: Bad Boys? I must have missed something, cause I didn't find one in this book. We have a nice guy, normally Mr. Responsible who let himself go crazy once and now has to face the consequences. Then we have a supposedly "wild(e)" extreme sports enthusiast and lady's man who is actually scarred and wounded beneath the surface. Lastly we have a nice guy whistleblower that's in way over his head. If you're looking for real Bad Boys, you might want to read something else. Foster's story is of Gil Watson who discovers he has a two-year-old daughter when the child's mother dies. He is reluctantly drawn to the seemingly wild woman who has been raising his daughter. Anabel arrives at Gil's office with baby Nicole in tow. First she proposes that they get married so that Nicole will have two parents and some continuity. Then, in desperation, she decides that using sex to convince Gil to let her stay in the baby's life is a good idea (!) and throws herself at him ("I'll do anything, Gil. Any time you want, any way you want."). She then proceeds to grab his privates while his daughter sleeps on the office couch just a few feet away! UGH! Kinda in poor taste, I think. But she goes on to prove that she is a good mother and he decides he can't live without her, yadda, yadda, a family is born. Ms Foster has written a few stories I've enjoyed, but this was not one of them. 2 1/2 stars Janelle Denison's story of Adrian Wilde was hot (as usual) but pretty predictable. Chayse wants Adrian to pose for a beefcake calendar for charity, but convincing him proves difficult. Until she shows up at his cabin in the woods and lots of one-on-one extreme sports heats up the wilderness. We find out why he's so reluctant to bear his body and to trust women and why she's afraid of love and abandonment - all in a long weekend. Though the two have a nice chemistry, it's not Ms. Denison's best either. 3 stars Ms. Warren's story, on the other hand, was a fun ride! Funny, sexy, crazy - the only reason to buy this book! PI Gretchen thinks she's been hired to bust cheating husband Adam. But all is not what it seems when it turns out that for one thing, he's not even married and second, that he's a whistleblower on the run. Now they are both in danger and need to get out of town quick. How they wind up on a bus full of seniors and on their way to Vegas with said seniors planning their "Elvis" wedding is just a really fun, wild ride and I enjoyed it immensely! Gretchen and Adam make a sweet and likeable couple. Ms. Warren has yet to disappoint me. 5 stars!

Rating: Summary: Awful...Not Even Close to 'Bad Boys on Board' Review: I am one of those zany readers that reads books such as this one simply for the fun of it! BAD BOYS TO GO has a cast of wild and sexy characters and why shouldn't it? It has three of the best romance writers out today that wrote it! If you want to have a little light-hearted fun give this one a try!

Rating: Summary: Awful...Not Even Close to 'Bad Boys on Board' Review: I couldn't wait to read this after reading the wonderful "Bad Boys on Board." As good as the authors' were there, they fell short here. Foster's story was dull and VERY predictable, and I didn't like Anabel at all. This type of woman simply didn't fit the story, not when a toddler is involved. As such, the story should have been more romantic, sweet, if you will, to match the innocence of Gil's young daughter, not contradict it. Gil's lust for Anabel came from the gutter, without one iota of respect for her; therefore it was hard to believe he could fall in love with her. Denison's story wasn't much better. It too was very dull. Chayse dogged Adrian into the ground with her request for him to pose for her calender!!! Any other man would have called her a stalker, but Adrian didn't seem offended in the least. I can only believe that Adrian didn't really mean 'no' all those times he declined her offer. Once we discovered why Adrian kept backing off, the story was pretty much done for. And it was a lame reason anyway! Good God, one would think he'd been maimed in battle the way he kept vehemently denying Chayse's request! Stupid. Warren's story was the best, which surprised me because in "Bad Boys on Board", hers was my least favorite. But this story had an interesting plot, and it was funny. It didn't lack for romance either.

Rating: Summary: Hot, Romantic, and Funny.............. Review: I have read all the Bad Boy Anthologies and this one towes the line pretty good. So far I would say there is more humor in this book than the others. Quite refreshing. Bringing Up Baby by Lori Foster - like lots of Ms. Fosters' stories this is a continuation of the Watson Family, a short story on Gil Watson. You can read his brother,Sam Watson's, romantic story in one of the other Bad Boy books. Gil is a professional man, business owner, professed work-aholic and has just found out he's a father. Anabel an acquaintance has just showed up with the baby girl he knew nothing about and things are getting complicated fast. The mother of his baby has passed away and Anabel wants to keep the baby. Of course sparks fly, Gil and Anabel have instant chemistry but they are like night and day. Read to find out how they resolve this complicated situation. The Wilde One by Jannell Denison - Chayse is doing a charity beefcake calender and she has the perfect person in mind for the cover but Adrian Wilde won't give in to her request to pose. Adrian can't seem to convince her he's not going to do the calender and dares her to spend the weekend in the woods with him. Chayse refused his invitation but curiosity and needing his picture got the best of her so she chases him to his little cabin in the woods. Both of them have secrets that will be unearthed on this very hot and sexy weekend. Going After Adam by Nancy Warren - Gretchen was hired as a PI to track down Adam catch him with a mistress and report back to the lawyer who hired her but things just aren't going her way. Not only does she get caught but she gets married to him. find out how she goes from tracking him to marrying him in less that 36 hours. I enjoyed this easy read of romance and hot sex but I must say that some of the other Bad Boy books were better that's why this only got 4 stars. Also, I thought this book was funnier that the others, more romantic comedy than boy wants girl and etc. So if you like the bad boy series you'll like this book. It will make you laugh and it still sizzles.
Rating: Summary: Another Great "Bad Boy" Book!!! I Love This Series!!!! Review: Lori Foster heads up another great anthology with her story about Gil Watson and free spirited Anabel Truman. Anabel has dropped the bomb that Gil is a father and that the mother of their baby is dead. Gil can't believe he is a father. Anabel then surprises him by showing up on his doorstep with two year old Nicole in tow. She is desperate to make sure that she remains a part of Nicole's life even if it means that she has to marry the uptight Gil. What neither one of them knows is the reason there has been so much friction between the two of them is due to the fact that they both want each other. Now they just have to prove to each other a marriage of convience would actually be a love match. Janelle Danison's story is Adrian Wilde's story. Adrian has been hounded for the past four months by Chayse Dougals for a beefcake calendar. Chasye can't understand why the yummy risk taking Adrian refuses to help her with her charity project. Finally he says he will help her out but she must go to his family cabin for the weekend and she needs to be aware that they will do more then just take pictures! Thinking he has seen the last of the beautiful Chasye but little does he know...she shows up at the cabin. Together they explore their mutual attraction and find out that they have more in common then they thought. Nancy Warren's story is about Adam and Gretchen. Gretchen is a P.I. that goes after cheating husbands. She has been given the task of catching Adam in the act of cheating but finds out that he is actually a whistle-blower and he is on the run from hit men. From San Francisco to Las Vegas these two try to stay two steps ahead of the bad guys while posing as a couple. But will the act turn into reality? These were great stories and I liked them all. These three ladies know how to pen a short story but not short the action, attraction, and fun! For a fun fast paced read you can't beat this anthology!
Rating: Summary: Another wonderful Bad Boys book Review: Lori Foster, Janelle Denison and Nancy Warren have three hot bad boys for our reading pleasure. In Bringing Up Baby, Lori Foster writes a tale with her usual wit, charm and sizzle. Gil Watson has just had his orderly world turned upside down. Gil has just found out he is a father of a two year old, Nicole. Nicole's mom has passed away and her friend Anabel Truman has brought her to Gil. She offers Gil a deal that will let her continue to be Nicole's mom. Anabel and Gil are opposites but it's the opposites that make them such a wonderful pair. Janelle Denison takes us back to those Wilde men in her story, The Wilde One. Adrian Wilde has been avoiding Chayse Douglas for months. Not that he isn't attracted to her, he is, but he wants no part of her real men calendar. But a steamy kiss between them leads to a dare that Chayse can't pass up. Adrian will pose for her calendar if she spends a "wild" weekend with him. Going After Adam by Nancy Warren has Gretchen Wiest, a PI following a cheating husband, or so she has been lead to believe. Adam Stone a petroleum engineer is on the run after discovering illegal practices at his workplace. This company wants Adam stopped at all cost. After finding out the truth Gretchen decides to help Adam. On the way to delivery the evidence, they find their way to love as well. All three stories in the anthology are fantastic. You will not go wrong with this book.
Rating: Summary: Not Good Review: Not one of these stories were any good, with Gil's being the worst!!! Sorry, but there was nothing refreshing or sweet about Anabel, she came off as a tramp.
