Bad Boys to Go

Rating:
Summary: Lame!
Review: Ridiculous situations, set up only to bring together shallow
amoral Jerry Springer type characters, and frankly [illicit]encounters. I had no idea what I was in for when I read this book, but won't be back for seconds. With so many wonderful books to read, that actually explore love, eros and all the permutations of same, why would you waste your time?

Summary: OK
Review: The liked the last two stories, but they were all unrealistic because the charachters fell in love practically over a couple of days! What is that?

Summary: Mediocre (2 1/2 stars)...
Review: This book is a big disappointment. Either Kensington Brava should get new authors or they should put a stop to the Bad Boy series while it's still lukewarm. Each story in Bad Boys to Go lacks a compelling and memorable plot. Bringing Up Baby didn't live up to Foster's reputation as one of the best romance writers of this era. This story was a chore to read. As was Nancy Warren's Going After Adam. There are quite a few erotic scenes, but no plausible story to back it up. Which brings me to Janelle Denison. There's no doubt that the sex scenes in her stories are few of the steamiest in the erotic romance genre, and I love the Wilde series. The Wilde One is the better story of the three in this book. Adrian Wilde, the youngest of the Wilde brothers, whose stories can be found in I Brake for Bad Boys and Wilde Thing, is known for being adventurous, daring, noncommittal and, of course, wild. After four months of avoiding Chayse Douglas's proposal of posing for a beefcake calendar, the pretty and tenacious photographer could well be Adrian's perfect match. As said earlier, this is the better novella of the three. However, I do have a word of advice for all three writers. I love erotica and I love romance, but I also love a good, interesting story. And that's exactly what's missing in this latest installment. If Brava continues to release Bad Boy books, then I hope that the future offerings are as good as I Love Bad Boys and I Brake for Bad Boys.

Summary: Another entry to the bad boys series.
Review: This is another installment in the Bad Boys Series which is one of my favorites. The 3 stories in this book are:

1. Bringing up Baby by Lori Foster. Gil Watson suddenly finds out that he is the father of a 2-year old daughter. One whose mother, Gil's ex girlfriend, is dead and she is being raised by acting mother/caretaker, Anabel. Gil has always been attracted to Anabel despite her wild and unique personality and the fact that she was his ex girlfriends best friend. But now, Anabel has a deal for Gil- marry her and he can become a part of his daughters life. Anabel wants Gil and is determined to show him how their life can be together.

2. The Wilde One by Janelle Dennison. Chayse wants Adrian Wilde to pose for her charity calendar, but Adrian is adament against it. He makes a deal with her ...he'll let her take the pictures at his secluded mountain cabin. Chayse agrees and they embark on a hot relationship, but she chayse has her doubts and runs away.

3. Going After Adam by Nancy Warren. Gretchen is a private investigator who has no trouble tracking down adulterous husbands for her clients. She mistakenly finds Adam and soon she and Adam are running from hitmen who want him dead. Their adventures have them posing as a couple on their way to Vegas, and they quickly find that their partnership has a lot of chemistry.

These stories are good, but Lori Foster's is the best--- she is adept at writing for this genre and the Bad Boys series. Janelle Dennison's story is a great addition to the Wilde brothers- you can easily image Adrian brother's and their own storys.

Summary: CORNY!!!!!!
Review: What is up with this writing??? First of all, I've reached my breaking point with Lori Foster's work. It has just gotten too dorky. I really can not take it anymore with her give-every-hero-3-brothers-so-I-can-not-only-write-their-stories-but-also-bring-them-back-on-cue-in-every-other-book-for-a-corny-lamebrained-cameo. It's really tiresome after a while! Also, it was hard to get past the fact that given the news that he had a 2 year old daughter, and was about to meet her, ALL Gil can think about is how hot Anabel used to be and what it would be like to see her again. In fact, when the door opens, with Anabel and Gil's little daughter standing there, for the first few minutes he ONLY notices Anabel and her belly ring! Yeah, great father. He finally snaps himself out of his lusty trance to notice his child standing there, too. Ugh!

Janelle Denison's story wasn't much better, though it was a little hotter, which helped make it bearable. The problem here is that the heroine has got to be one of the most annoying people in the entire world. The premise is that she's a photographer putting together a beefcake calendar, and really wants this guy, Adrian, in it because he's hot. Okay, fine. But after he tells her he does NOT want to pose for the calendar fifty times, and she declares that she won't take no for answer, but will follow him around until he says yes, I was like, who could stand this person? And then she proceeds to make good on her word, following him to the place he's out with his friends, badgering him relentlessly about the calendar, getting all his friends to gang up on him ("Come on, Adrian, why won't you do it?? Just do the calendar, come on, Adrian" etc.). When he goes to the men's room to escape the relentless pressure to pose for a cheesy beefcake calendar, she follows him in there, too!!! It is utterly ridiculous. And if all that was not bad enough, she comes to his mountain cabin with her camera, and continues snapping cameo shots of him constantly. Yet THIS is the woman he can't get out of his mind? Sorry, not buying it. She even asks at the end, after they've supposedly fallen in love, if his family will mind that she's going to be snapping pictures of them all the time without warning whenever she's around them. And he says "they'll get used to it"--oh, and isn't that adorable? No, try annoying, annoying, annoying!

If you don't mind corny writing with some hot sex thrown in amidst grating, juvenile characters and unrealistic dialogue, then this one's probably a good choice. Otherwise, I'd say skip it.
