Anyone who knows me, knows I love my angst in a story. I thrive on angst and emotion when reading. This story has it in abundance and I completely absorbed this story in record time. I could not put this book down. I loved it. I loved the characters even when they were at their most broken. I loved the storyline and the pacing kept me reading without a break. I was left wanting more. I always want more from J. Daniels and I can't wait to see what she gives us next. I can guarantee I will absolutely love it!

Be still my heart! I think I may have a favorite J. Daniels man. Sean “Stitch” Molina is broken but he is also lovable. His background was just so sad and I felt for him. I just wanted to crawl inside the book and give him a big hug. I knew he had a story from the glimpses we got in the previous books but I didn’t expect for it to be so heartbreaking. I did love how Sean was trying to make something of himself and his life considering the past. It truly showed his true character. The interactions between him and Shayla were beautiful and sweet. I loved how protective she was over him and the love that she showed. She was a strong woman when it came to her man. The two of them together was just the best and my heart was always happy with that. Their story was touching and I enjoyed every minute of it. I also loved seeing the rest of the characters in the series and introductions of new ones. They had a role in this story. Overall, Bad for You was a heartwarming read with all the feels. The Dirty Deeds series has been fantastic reads and I am excited for Nate’s up next. J. Daniels is becoming one of those great authors for me.

I hurt.
I swooned.
I laughed
I felt really, really HOTTTTTT…

The most emotional so far in the Dirty Deeds Series.

I have to confess I’ve developed a very soft spot for Stich from the start, in Four Letter Word.
I always wanted to know his story.
And it got worse while I was reading Hit The Spot.
So I had very high expectations, but believe me, J. Daniels did an amazing job! she gave everything I wanted, and more.

I loved every step, every bump in this journey.
Shayla was the perfect match for Sean, she heals him and he is the big beast/teddy bear who holds her, her kryptonite.
I loved the way they reconnected, how he slowly surrenders to her light.

And… The sex…
Well, I mean, We’re talking about J. Daniels here, so it has to be hot, dirty and beautiful!!

And like her previous books, we’re getting hints of the potential couples/ love stories that are coming next…
I really enjoy the series, this bunch of friends/ couples
Sometimes series get boring and/or repetitive, but with J. Daniels, it gets better with each book. It’s really refreshing.
Each couple adds something really special to the whole series.

I just can’t wait for Nate and Jena’s story!

Is it 2019 already????

*5 Worthy Stars*

ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.

Wow. Just wow. This was my first J Daniels book, even though I have been meaning to start this series for a while. I seriously need to go back and read the first two books, and I cannot wait for book four either.

What a story. This one is so full of depth and emotion. What a powerful storyline. I absolutely LOVED Sean! That man. Oh my god that man. If anyone deserved a happy ending, it was certainly him. His story was heartbreaking and I could totally relate to Shayla’s reactions as she got to know him, and discovered things about his past. The horrible thing is, that this is so real as well, this stuff happens in real life, and it’s so hard to fathom that human beings can be so horrible to one another.

Shayla was a feisty character and I loved how she stands up for what she knows is true, and what she believes in. She and Sean make an awesome team and its really great watching them figure each other out, and grow together.

All the kids in this book, and the secondary adult characters were awesome too, and really helped shaped the storyline as supporting characters too. I enjoyed the different personalities, and can’t wait to read their stories and get to know them more.

Sean was everything though. Strong. Sweet. Defiant. Full of heart. After everything that gets revealed, to have character as amazing as he does, is one hell of a feat. He’s one of my favourite book boyfriends, I think I have to add him to that list now for sure.

So full of emotion, this book will make you feel. All. The. Feelings.

I loved this so much, and I definitely recommend it.

Oh my, the emotions J. Daniels pulls from you while reading this story. A memorable read, this achingly raw, touching, funny and sexy book is one not to be missed. There is so much hope, love and deep moments trough out this story, that your emotions will be all over the place. These two characters are so fantastic. Shayla who is the heart and lightness of the story, and Sean who is raw and real and the star of this book.

Shayla Perkins, the sassy waitress everyone loves, has worked hard to make her dream of being a hair dresser a reality. Now all she's missing is sharing her accomplishments with the one person she tells everything to. Shayla hates the distance she feels between her and Sean, the one that grew when she pushed for more between them. She knows Sean would prefer her to keep it the way it was, but she can't help but want to know everything about this mysterious man. The one she's told her whole life story to while sitting by that kitchen window. Shay knows that together, they could be something great. And she knows she will have to break down walls and fight to make Sean see the man she does.

So sweet and goofy, Shayla is one of the best characters I have read. She dreams big and loves hard. She can see the good, and the potential in people who need it the most. She shines her brightness on everyone and everything around her. She puts all of herself into whatever she does.

Sean "Stitch" Molina is so much more than just the grumpy, quite cook at Whitecaps. He's a broken man, who has been lost for a long time. He let his dark past define him for far to long and just wants to put that all behind him. Sean is working hard to make up for his past mistakes and build something for himself and the few he cares deeply for. He's been angry for a long time, but that anger subsided when he was listening to Shay talk to him through that little window of his kitchen. And he was always listening.

Stitch may be a quite character, but his presence and story is loud. It grabs your heart and twists. This hurt and vulnerable man, will make you fall in love. You will want to hug him tight and not let go. You can feel his longing for a second chance, a fresh start and you hope and root for him to find that happiness he so deserves. He needed someone to believe in him, the way Shayla does, and show him that he deserves it all.

Combined, Stitch & Shay are something epic. Total opposites, but so damn right for each other. The heat and chemistry that has been building between them since their first encounter, the intense attraction, make for a HOT, swoon-worthy and passionate romance.

Being back in dogwood beach, looking through that kitchen window in Whitecaps, you'll find amazing characters, flowing storytelling, and a fresh writing style. Bad For You is a story of healing, finding love through all the darkness and a fight, for a second chance.

“Bad For You” was without a doubt my favorite book by J. Daniels. The writing was excellent and the story touched my heart in so many ways. This book is definitely one of my favorite reads of the month. Well done, J. Daniels!

Sean. Where do I begin with Sean? He was broody, broken and my heart broke for him throughout this story. Sean had a very hard and horrible upbringing and never felt like he was good enough or deserved any type of happiness. He lives a very isolating and depressing life.

As the story progresses he makes a lot of changes and I loved that Shayla was able to help him heal. Shayla was selfless and put everyone else’s needs before her and I loved the love she had for him. Shayla never gave up on Sean and helped him see he deserved more than the crappy hands he was dealt with in life.

Each book J. Daniels writes in this series fast becomes my favourite and this one was just wow! it was everything I love.

I was eagerly waiting Shayla and Stitch's story after you get a glimpse at them in previous book Hit the Spot I knew this was going to be full of angst but this blew me away with the depth of emotion that J. Daniels brought to us.

This book is the perfect blend of gut-wrenching angst, hot and sexy passion mixed with sizzling tension. Its a beautiful story of friendship that blossoms into much more.

I just love Stitch, his story broke my heart, I just wanted to hug him close but I loved how he blossomed with Shayla. She was so sweet and caring with the hint of sass and feistiness, the perfect match for him.

I so can't wait for Nate's story out next year! his is the story I have wanted since book 1

I reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from the author

OMG people, this book was AWESOME!!!! I’ve read a few books by J. Daniels by now, including the two previous ones on this series, but this one was definitly my favorite. And that’s down to the characters, 100%!

If you haven’t yet read a book by J. Daniels, what are you waiting for? Her writing is amazing.

So, let’s talk about the characters. Shayla was such a unique character, I just wanted to wrap her in a tight hug and never let her go, because she was beyond awesome. She’s just so GOOD. She wants to be the best for everyone, and she puts everyone’s happiness in front of her own. She’s also hilarious and fierce. I love this girl to bits.

And Sean, oh boy… Sean had me sobbing during the prologue. And I wanted him to see his self worth so badly, but it was a journey, and I was so happy when he got there. He was such a good person, and he deserved so much more out of life.

All the yeses to Shay and Sean together, because they were perfection. They were supportive and understood each other, and did their best to be there whenever. They fit, and it was beautiful.

Glad about all the friendships on this book, especially the one between Shayla and Val. It’s not common to get a girl getting along with her guy’s ex, but it made the story that much better. Though I would have liked to see a bit more of the gang’s involvement.

Also, I hope Daniels is not sweeping a certain pairing’s romance under the rug, because I would be severely disappointed.

SO, A FANTASTIC READ, BY A FANTASTIC AUTHOR, AND I CAN’T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THE NEXT INSTALLMENT.

What can say that haven’t been said about the talented J. Daniels, her writing is no hold bar and you as fan/reader will have no choice but to fall deep when you’ve read one of her books. When I was first introduced to Stitch in the other books I just knew that his hurt ran very deep but once I found out how deep they were my heart couldn’t help but to break in a million pieces, but have no fear because Ms. Daniels took her time and put every single piece back together.

Shay and Stitch’s story is not your typical hearts and flowers book. Your heart will break and you feeeeeeeel, why, because with Ms, Daniels writing you will have no other choice but to. These two were meant for each other, Stitch helped Shay in ways that she never thought would be possible and Shay did the same for him. This man had my heart from the very beginning of the book and I didn’t want it back, there will be moments in this book where he will make you and other times where your heart will shatter for him. The best part is seeing what J does with his story and how she just puts this man back together.

I didn’t want this book to end but you know what they say, all good things must come to an end. Now for me to sit and wait for the next book to come out because I know when it comes to a J. Daniels book I will not be disappointed.

Sean’s young life had been a harsh one. The rejection and worthlessness he felt have now become his constant companions in adult life. The decisions he made in desperation have cost him greatly, but he sees his job at Whitecaps as the first step in the long road to rectifying them. He is focused and determined to make amends, but making friends is not par the course.

Why is it that we always want the things that are bad for us? That’s a question Shayla “Shay” Perkins has been asking herself since she first laid eyes on Sean "Stitch" Molina. Employed as the cook at the diner where waitresses, she’s been enamoured by him since his very first day. He’s notoriously standoffish, but with persistence being her middle name, she has seen glimpses of Sean that lay waste to the hostile attitude he projects to anyone who dares approach his hatch.

Sean feels unworthy of Shay’s attempts of friendship and bar a few lapses in his resolve; he rejects any kindness she has to offer him. She may think he doesn’t notice but he sees her, he sees her pure spirit and how far is willing to go for her loved ones. It’s because of this reason he is unable to walk away when he finds her in a time of need.

There’s none more surprised than Shay of Stitch’s act of kindness. She is overcome by gratitude and with renewed determination Shay makes it her business to show Stitch the ropes of friendship. Its sweet witnessing as the trust between them develops. They both have obstacles they need to overcome and as their relationship blossoms they soon become each other’s strength in overcoming them.

Stitches’ story is definitely a heart-breaking one and I marvelled at how equip Shay was in being some resolution into his life. More than her friendship and love she helped him to realise what he has been along, worthy.

Bad For You was a beautiful story fully loaded with emotion.
I was in tears and an emotional wreck from the prologue, yes the PROLOGUE. From that moment, I knew that it was going to be a heart wrenching, raw and real read but, I felt compelled to read it and to know how the story will unfold. J.D made me laugh and cry, fall in love and feel pain.
“I wasn’t ever going to be worth what this girl wanted to give. I knew that, and I needed her to know it too …”
Shayla is a fantastic heroine who believes in life and wants to do well and do her family proud. Family that she will do anything for. When her mum has to leave, Shay volunteers to look after her two brothers E and Dom. Those boys…. Soon, Shay realises how challenging it is to manage two jobs and two young boys.
Sean *Sight* Stitch is a broken hero. He is broody, charismatic and endearing at the same time. To say that his life has never been easy since his birth, is a BIG understatement. But now it is time for him, it is time to redeem himself from his mistakes and to give himself a second chance in life. I love him so much and when he is on Snapchat OMG he made me melt…
““Keep it up, Stitch. We all know you got a squishy little heart of gold under all that edge. You ain’t fooling us.”
Shay and Sean work together at the WhiteCaps restaurant. She is bubbly- he is moody, she is talkative-he is quiet, she wanted more- he did not… So when fate brought them back together, how are they both going to deal with the new arrangement that they have made? Do they deserve a second chance? Do they deserve a HEA?
Bad For You was heart-breaking yet, hopeful. I finished this book with an emotional high. I am still reeling from my book experience. I cannot find the right words to describe the emotions I felt. J.Daniels ‘s writing was flawless and so much so, that she made me care from the prologue for fictional people … they were real to me…she made me feel alive, even though she killed me with her words. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a beautiful, move-you-to-tears story
“He didn’t feel worthy. And he was absolutely worthy. Not just of me, but of everything good this world had to offer him. Of love. Of kindness.”

*Arc kindly provided for an honest review

With as many books as I read, it is easy to fall behind with a favorite author or even forget why you love their books so much. This sort of happened to me with Bad For You. I had forgotten how much I really liked this series and J. Daniels is an author I have loved for a while. Bad For You is the complete opposite of its title, because it is far from bad, it was GREAT!

Bad For You is emotional, it is a book that will have you considering give a second chance to someone who may not deserve it, but is worth it. It will suck you in, hold you hostage and not let you go until you fall totally and utterly in love with this book. I want to go back and not just read this one but the previous two books as well right now. Sean and Shayla will take a piece of your heart with them throughout the book and you won’t get it back. I don’t usually include quotes in my reviews but just so you get a tiny taste of the emotions in the book.

“I don’t wanna be nothin’.” Tears filled his eyes again. “I’m so fuckin’ sick of bein’ nothin’, Shayla.”
“You’re’ not nothing,” I said, pulling him into a hug. His tears wet my chest. “You’re not nothing, Sean. Not even close.”
“Don’t quit talkin’ to me,” he begged.
“I won’t. Ever.”
“I want you fillin’ my head. I want it so fuckin’ bad.”
God, his pain – it became my own – I felt it. and I knew I’d feel it for as long as he did.
“You’ll never feel alone again. I promise,” I whispered.”

I can’t recommend this book enough, Bad For You was such an amazing read that I want to shout from rooftops that it needs to be on your TBR lists, that if you have never read anything by this immensely talented author you need to stop waiting and dive in. Bad For You was so good that I can’t wait to read it again soon.

5 “You are so freaking worthy” stars!!

I didn’t know what to expect when I picked this book up. One of the things I love most about J. Daniels’ work is that her stories are unpredictable. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, her books are romantic, swoony, sexy and erotic, having me envious of the heroines ALL THE TIME , but because she doesn’t really follow a set formula, all of her stories stay fresh and unique for me.

I stared into his perfect face, belonging to this perfect man, who had overcome so much to be here.

The biggest joy I found in this book, what made me feel absolutely blissful contentment, was something that I look for in all characters in all books. The heart. The hearts of both Sean and Shayla were massive! I don’t think it was even possible to make these two any better. Sean’s pain and suffering was gut-wrenching in its raw authenticity, however, his core was still beautiful. I just wish he could always see it. I think the author captured his silent torture perfectly. It was just so real. I hated every minute of it and yet loved what it brought to the story. His depth was immeasurable. As for Shayla… dammit I loved this chick so much. Her capacity to understand, overstand, sympathize, empathize, feel, protect, nurture, etc. She was an incredible force to be reckoned with. She was a miniature dynamo, willing to take on all comers in her defense of Sean. She was the first to see his awesomeness and also the first to reap the rewards of it. His kindness, caring, concern, and willingness to help her were just some of the traits that made him the right man for her.

"You stood there wantin’ me, wantin’ us, as much as I did, and you buried that want so I could get it all." He knew. He knew everything.

I could continue to wax poetic about the brilliance of this book. I could give you so many more reasons why I loved these characters. I can think of about 15 gifs that I could post to illustrate my love. I basically highlighted the entire book and therefore have a multitude of other quotes I could inundate you with. But I won’t. Let me just say that this is a book that shouldn’t be missed. A story that will pull you in and touch you in the sweetest of ways. A story full of pain, sacrifice, hope, rebirth, new beginnings, and love, with a couple that was worthy of all the beauty that life and love have to offer.

Release: Jan. 23, 2018 | Genre: Contemporary Romance | POV: Dual - 1st person | Heat: 3.5 out of 5 | Standalone - Book #3 of the Dirty Deeds series with character crossover

4.25 stars--BAD FOR YOU is the third instalment in J. Daniels’ contemporary, adult DIRTY DEEDS erotic, romance series focusing on twenty-three year old diner waitress and hair stylist Shayla Perkins, and twenty-seven diner cook and single father Sean Molina. BAD FOR YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: BAD FOR YOU contains scenes and references to violence and child sexual abuse and may not be suitable for all readers.

Told from dual first person points of view (Shayla and Sean) BAD FOR YOU follows the building romance and relationship between diner waitress and upstart hairstylist Shayla Perkins, and diner cook Sean Molina. With the death of her beloved grandmother, Shayla Perkins is about to discover that being a parent to her two younger siblings is a lot tougher than she could ever have imagined when her parents must leave to settle her grandmother’s estate. Struggling with her brothers’ fluctuating schedules including after school sporting events, tutoring lessons and speech therapy Shayla will finally break down only to come face to face with the man who has starred in all of her fantasies for close to a year. Enter co-worker and diner cook Sean Molina, a dark, brooding, tattooed and quiet young man who hides years of painful abuse and loss behind a mask of cool indifference and heart breaking pain. What ensues is the friends to lovers relationship between Sean and Shayla, and the potential fall out when Shayla steps aside, sacrificing her own happiness to allow Sean’s past a second chance.

Sean Molina’s back story is painful and heart breaking; a life full of abuse and neglect that will eventually spiral out of control leaving our hero broken, scarred and permanently lost. Shayla Perkins is the epitome of perfection as it pertains to her handling and defense of our story line hero-a hug here, a caress there for a man not use to affection or love slowly begins to break down the barriers and walls necessary to survive.

The relationship between Shayla and Sean struggles in the early stages as Sean is unable to let go; unable to accept Shayla’s overtures of friendship as he continues to suffer with memories of betrayal, abuse and loss. Shayla’s continuous need to protect Sean is of-times over the top but one born of sympathy and love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

The reader is introduced to Shayla’s brothers Eli and Dom; as well as Sean’s ex Val, and his two daughters Fiona and Caroline: and Whitecaps Cafe new cook J.R. The return of Tori and Jamie (Hit The Stop #2), Sydney and Brian (Four Letter Word #1), as well as diner owner and manager Nate adds familiarity and cohesion between the story line.

BAD FOR YOU is an emotional and heart breaking story where the reader is pulled into the past as one young boy struggles to survive against a world determined to destroy and break; and a present that refuses to give up the ghosts and memories. The premise is moving and visceral; the characters are broken, tragic and colorful; the romance is touching and passionate.

Review by Lisa…
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS
You guys!!! 2018 is off to a great start!!! Another book I couldn’t put down. BAD FOR YOU is book three in J. Daniels’ Dirty Deeds Series. This is the first book by J. Daniels that I have read! (I know totally shocking). I did not feel lost starting with reading the third book in the series. It in no way takes away from the story and will have quite and emotional impact on you. This is a beautiful story filled with hope and true love. People from Sean’s past help him to realize that he is worthy even though he pushed those people away.

The characters work their way into your heart and stay there long past the last page. Sean “Stitch” Molina is so broken and you felt that with every bad thing he said about himself. Shayla Perkins is a beautiful human and she tries unsuccessfully to convince Sean he is worthy of love. J. Daniels did a great job building the characters and story and it moved at just the right pace to keep my attention. I finished this book in under 24 hours!!!

Pick it up Now!!! You don’t want to miss out on this incredibly moving story.

A story of redemption and realizing self worth, Bad For You managed to capture every nuanced emotion involved when selflessly falling in love with another. Having watched these two circle each other in prior books, it was a relief to finally be involved in their story to find out exactly who Shay and Sean were as individuals and what they were when they become one entity. I won’t say I was surprised to find it as romantic as it was, but I will say that I was amazed at how beautiful it really was when it was all said and done.

With much ground to make up for in getting to know these two characters, Daniels didn’t delay in wholly fleshing them out and giving us a true look into their struggles and everyday lives. And what was in abundance was the amount of things left unsaid, the pushed-down feelings, and the raw attraction that flared whenever the two of them were in the same room. The visceral nature of it was palpable and something I began to crave as the story went on, especially as this attraction became heavy with a blossoming uncertain friendship–or truce, really–that pulled them closer than before. In most stories, I find myself drawn to the heroes, as is the case with most readers I presume, but in this story the star is truly Shay. She’s the go-getter, the bighearted giver, the woman with a selfless heart of gold. Her inner beauty is what shines the greatest in this story and gives this story its pure romanticism. It’s her that inspires hope and acceptance in a badly tattered man that is entirely unaware of all that he is.

Without going into too much detail, Bad For You was an evocatively inspiring romance with two very complex and vivid characters. Their love story felt true and guided by the characters, not forced with a reader or writer’s expectations in mind. It was so easy to fall into them and become enraptured by their draw and appeal; the uncomplicated nature of it was pure and enjoyable. Each story in this series has been an amazing read, but I think this one will always hold a very special spot simply because of all that it is.

**4.5 STARS!

I can't y'all...oh goodness, give me a sec to recover.

Without having read the previous books in this series, I thought I wouldn't get the full Whitecaps/Dogwood experience, but do not fret! I missed out on the intro to Sean and Shay, but their story is way beyond what I could've imagined!
I wasn't expecting this sudden rush of emotions and heart-breaking revelations, but I was so happy to find myself rooting for these two and having such love for them in the end!
I can still say they're my favs of this series despite my not getting to the others, right? *nervous laugh*

The story gives way to Shayla and her trying to squash her feelings for Sean, refusing to give him another chance after he rejected her one night. She works with him and finds herself missing the talks they used to have and everything that came from the friendship they've grown. But one day, Sean's brooding self decides to step up and takes part in helping Shay out with some trouble she seems to be having. The rest is...well...a true roller-coaster ride.

Sean completely broke me in this one. He's had a terrible and traumatic upbringing and is at constant battle with himself. He feels as if he deserves nothing, as if he's worthless despite the love that surrounds him.
It's was a ride seeing him go from self-doubt to opening his heart up a little more. Shay was this light that led him out of his own darkness, so you can only imagine the type of love Sean had for that girl right there. It was nothing short of beautiful.

J. Daniels did a pretty damn good job at messing with my emotions and leaving me clutching at my heart. For this, I applaud her and I cannot wait to see what's next for this couple and for the Dogwood fam!

FYI, it's possible to smile so much you cry. J. Daniels proves it!

Bad for You is all kinds of good!!!!!
I would be bad for a certain cook any day!
He heats up any kitchen!
Strong, silent type...yes, please!

All the above are the tamer thoughts that prevailed while reading Bad for You. I had some creepy, pervy ones too but what Sean and I do with cuffs is none of your business. ;)

Sean is bad news, according to him. He is Bad for You. But everyone, and I mean everyone, will disagree with him. Sean Molina is a hardened man. He is the poster child for a system that clearly didn't work. He is heartbreak. Moms will want to hold him. You will want to help him. And everyone will lust after him (even if longer hair isn't your thing- trust me!)

Being Bad for You isn't a badge for him. Sean holds his demons close and wears his shame as armor. He's hurt and it is so sexy to watch his transformation. (If my hubs reads this he would be shaking his head- he doesn't get characters are real *shaking my head at his naivete*)

Bad for You is a glimpse into the evils of the word without getting dark. It's emotionally charged and you will experience the ups and downs. You will be there for the highest highs and crash with the lows. Your gut will clench and you might even spill tears.

But when it's all said and done...you will be begging for more!

reviewed for Sweet Spot Sisterhood

”Good deeds hold more weight, especially when they aren’t motivated or asked of a person. They show true character. The person you are deep down.”

With a big smile on my face and tears etched in my eyes, I BASKED IN THE BEST BOOK BLISS from Author J. Daniels’ BAD FOR YOU. I DEVOURED this STUNNINGLY SHATTERING STORY in less than 24 hours and Bad For You devoured me. This love story is a SLOW BURN that blazes in a fire of feels. EMOTIONAL. EXPLOSIVE. ENDEARING. EVERYTHING!!!

One page and…
Bad For You hijacked my heart and struck my soul.

One page and…
Bad For You consumed me, claiming every part of me, commanding every feel.

One page and…
I was ALL IN…body…heart…soul…everything.

One page and…
I already knew that this book would break me, and oh would I let it.

”I was nothing to nobody. That’s who I am.”

I’ve not only wanted but NEEDED Stitch’s story since I last met him in Hit the Spot. Sean, AKA, Stitch, this big, gorgeous, grizzly, gritty beast of a man holds a beautiful heart hidden beneath that rough exterior. Oh did Stitch burrow himself into my heart. I LOVED HIM!! This broken and beautiful man CAUGHT and CLAIMED every ounce of me! Stitch WRECKED ME … OWNED ME … making me feel this beautifully broken man so hard!!!

”You need to quit lookin’ at me like I’m worth lookin’ at. I’m not. I’m nobody. I’m nothing to nobody.”

Shayla is an angel, a beautiful spark of sweetness, strength, and sass who is Stitch’s soulmate. She is cool and fun. I admired her courage and tenacity most of all. I ADORED this big-hearted beauty! Stitch needs Shayla’s sweet sunshine in his gloomy world.

Light bleeds with dark …
Sunshine eclipses the storms …
Hope springs to life.

”You deserve to be wanted. I want you. I want you so much.”

An ALL-CONSUMING and AWE-INSPIRING roller coaster of a romance, Bad For You dances between dark and light, shredding the soul and hypnotizing the heart. Bad For You is so realistic that it’s hard to believe it’s fiction through the end. This story tears you in half and then stitches you back together.

Bad For You rendered me EMOTIONALLY BARE and BLEEDING as it BROKE MY HEART IN THE BEST WAY!!! This soulful story TOUCHED ME DEEPLY!!! I was MOVED as a friend, as a lover, as a sister, as a wife, as a mother. Bad For You stole every smile … every sigh … every swoon … every tear …. every feel … everything! The FEELS … Bad For You has ALL THE FEELS! Bad For You was EVERYTHING!!! Bad For You was my KRYPTONITE and I NEED MORE.

”You were never nothing.”

A TOP 2018 READ!!! Bad For You is J. Daniels’ BEST BOOK EVER!!! Bad For You will BLOW YOU AWAY!!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 beautifully broken ‘kryptonite’ stars

4.5 Stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Emotions. Bad For You had me experiencing them all.

ALL. THE. FEELS!

Sean (Stitch), how my heart ached for him. I wanted to hold him in my arms and tell his he was enough. He was so good, deep down in his heart, he just needed to believe it himself. Shayla knew it, and she did everything to help him get to point where he saw it too. Shayla was an awesome heroine, I loved her just as much as I loved Sean. She was loyal, kind, fierce and fun.

The friendship and romance that grew and developed between Shayla and Sean was incredibly touching. As Sean began to open up to her, sharing moments of his past, my heart would ache, and anger bubbled in my veins as we too learned what he experienced. But Shayla had his back, she listened, she supported him, she protected and she cared for him. In these moments my heart would swell with love.

Shayla and Sean’s story captivated me. It was painful and emotional, but also heartwarming and beautiful. If you are looking for a story with characters that will grab a hold of your heart, this is one of those stories.
