"A
sexy, often emotional treat that will resonate with the 'nice girl' in all of
us." -- Lexi Ryan, New York Times Bestselling Author
Book One of the NICE GIRL TO LOVE ( serial romance ) series
Abby Bartlett is the quintessential nice girl. Between teaching, volunteering, completing her PhD, and helping her best friend raise his daughter, Abby never gets the chance to be anything but nice. That is, until the all-wrong-for-her man she's only ever known from afar starts daring her to simply take that chance for herself. His sage advice? Try something wild and fast.
Preferably him.
An unbridled, hotshot attorney with a not-so-little black book, Connor Sullivan has earned himself quite the bad boy reputation. But in his defense, he's a very conscientious one. He knows far too well that sometimes in life, love isn't enough...or worse, not even a factor at all. To avoid that misery--and repel the drama--Connor always makes his one and only rule crystal clear right from the start. Absolutely nothing more than a month.
Turns out, a whole lot can happen in one month.
Print Length: 163 pages (Based on paperback edition, available July 2013)
Note: This is a three-book serial romance . Books Two and Three will be released this summer.

Review:
Oh, Violet! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME! This book. Oooh this
book! It has given me one of the worst (or best) book hangovers I’ve had in a
LONG time. This book is absolutely amazing! I waited an extra day to write my
review to ensure I wouldn’t gush, but I’m not sure that not gushing is going to
be possible. I absolutely LOVED this book and want nothing more than to read
book two NOW!
Abby is so easy to relate to in her good girl sense. She’s a
selfless giver, and I couldn’t help but wish that I could be a little more like
her. The more romance I read, the more I think: It’s impossible for any good
girl to resist the bad boy. I absolutely loved reading Abby’s attempts to
resist Connor, the quintessential bad boy.
Underneath his “bad boy” behavior, it seems that Connor may
be a good guy, just like Abby may be a bit of a bad girl at heart. There were
so many facets to their characters that they were truly able to sparkle in their
own unique way.
The ending! UGH! Even with a warning directly from the
author about a cliffhanger, I wasn’t expecting that. I can’t wait to see where
this story goes, but I have a feeling no matter what the next story entails,
I’ll be Team Connor all the way!
I definitely recommend this book to any romance readers.
This is a story that all should read! I promise, you’ll be hooked.
