Lily and Marco's chemistry is explosive from the second they meet. He wants her to move out of her shop so that he can build a parking garage of all things. She does not want to give up the shop that serves as a hair salon because she wants to keep her mother's legacy alive. They reach and impasse when she refuses so he proposes a deal that she pretty much cannot refuse. But he never expected to need more than that from her and mixing business with pleasure just might cost him more than he thought.

It's easy to read and quite happy throughout the process. Will recommend for others as a relaxation reading. It's my first time reading for this author, and I believe there will be next time for her again.

Holy hotness!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this book! I had so many laughs with Lily and Marco that were unexpected. I loved that the author gave Marco more of a backstory so there was more to the story than just the contract. My heart broke for Marco's story but I loved the relationship between him and his grandmother because of what happened.

My only criticism is that I think the story needed an epilogue...something to see where they were in the future.

How sweet it is ... to be BAD! Good Girl Gone Bad borders on risque, but never veers from having fun. Lily is looking to step out of the shadow of a restrictive upbringing and sashay her way into a bad boy's heart. Marco is a waking fantasy for her senses and heart. If they can survive the ice storm headed in their direction, an everlasting inferno will be their reward. Falcone loves to be naughty even as she doles out the nice. Sizzle fest.

A hot sexy story. The main characters are perfect for each other. A good story with a happy ending. Looking forward to more stories by Carmen Falcone.

Good Girl Gone Bad is a sexy, quick read !
Lily and Marco are an unlikely duo. The immediate attraction will have you swooning!! When Lily finds out who Mr. Tall Dark and handsome really is oh my that is when it gets really good. Lily is trying to save her family business from being pushed out for redevelopment and Marco is trying to make a deal that will land he and his brother a bit of money ! Neither one expected the intense connection from that first meeting !!! It is going to be a bumpy ride in this romance !!!

A big thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Scorched for the ARC.I am voluntarily reviewing this book. First time reading this author. I was pleasantly surprised at the heat!! Well I guess I was shocked! I can't relate to the story but that is ok. Sex at first sight is not my style. This has lots and lots of sex, take engagement, lust turns to love, a normal relationship. Haha!! It was still fun to read . If you enjoy erotic romance this book is for you. For the rest of us romance readers caution this book is hot! I rate it a 4.

A hot sensual steamy read about Marco, who wants Lily’s hair salon for a parking complex and is immediately taken by the beautiful hair stylist. He makes her a deal to pretend to be his fiancée, be his for a month to do whatever he pleases with and she can keep her shop along with paying off her debts. An offer she can’t refuse but when they go to Italy to visit his grandmother, their feelings grow especially hers since he’s too stubborn to admit them...will he finally realize what he has in front of him before it’s too late.
An amazing read with steam right off the bat and a chemistry between the two with sparks that flew off the pages. Not only that but I fell in love with Lily, her compassionate, caring, kindness, loving side, was hard not to admire. Marco was all about contracts and timelines but when she opened his eyes to the type of woman she was, proving she was not a gold digger and accepted him the way he was including his “broken” side, he became even more attractive. Only thing missing for me was an epilogue as I would have loved to see these two in the future.

Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book for an honest review! My first time reading Carmen Falcone. I don't regret it! It was interesting! Marco and Lilly's story is hot! And the special ring is... well interesting! A girl trying to make ends meet meets a special customer at her hair salon... and they have sex..., then follows a special contract... It was easy to read, interesting. I give it 4 stars because I would have loved more story and a little bit less sex. It seems like every 5 pages they have sex. It felt a bit too much.
I shared my opinion on Twitter (https://twitter.com/Maryline__BSB) and I do recommend this book!

Lily should have known the stranger she had sex with in her salon's supply room was too good to be true, especially when he's looking to take her business away from her. However, when he comes to her with an offer, she knows she shouldn't refuse when it means she can save her business and have a month's worth of her handsome stranger's time in and out of the bedroom. Will Lily be able to convince Marco to give happy ever after a shot or will they both walk away when the terms of their agreement have been met?

I always enjoy this author's stories and I've got to say that Good Girl Gone Bad was a very entertaining read that was sexy and addictive because of Marco, the deliciously hot Alpha hero. Really, the way this story started had me reading quickly, determined to discover what Lily's reaction would be once she learns the hero's identity. Yet, it was from the moment the hero's proposition is made where things really get interesting, as he has quite the offer for her. Will she benefit just as much from the offer as he will?

Both the main characters were fantastic and I liked every moment they converse, as the heroine isn't afraid to challenge the hero to get him to open up. Will Lily be able to help the hero heal from his past? Will Lily be able to help the hero heal the strained relationship he has with his father? Can Lily and Marco convince everyone that their relationship is real when they both know it's fake? Moreover, both the main characters back stories were intriguing and I couldn't help but feel sorry for the hero, as he's filled with guilt over what happened to his mother. While the heroine, she's grown up the good girl in being a preacher's daughter and someone that would never accept such a daring proposition as to what Marco has proposed. Yet, there's something about Marco that drives her to be bold and daring and do something outside of her comfort zone, which makes her resilient and courageous.

Overall, Ms. Falcone has delivered a really good read in this book where the chemistry between this couple was heady and convincing; the romance was steamy because the hero loves control; and the ending had me loving the hero's determination to make things right with the heroine, especially once he realizes how much the heroine means to him. I would recommend Good Girl Gone Bad by Carmen Falcone, if you enjoy the opposites attract trope, the fake relationship trope, or books by authors Naima Simone, Amy Andrews, Tessa Bailey and Samanthe Beck.

Carmen falcons is becoming one of my favourite author by entangled publishers and I really do love her books and this is another one of them books. Impossible to put down once I had started reading and I couldn’t stop even if I tried which I didn’t lol. The story just had me hooked from the blurb and left me totally engrossed the whole way through the book. I really really did love the characters they are the best part of the story, they really make it a 5 star book as their story is so fantastic and how they end up together and the journey they take you on and that they do play with yours emotions I.e. making you smile, laugh etc while your reading. This book also has a fab storyline and there is plenty of romance throughout the story and the story really flows from one page to the next. I’m super excited to see what this author writes next and if it’s like this one then I’m going to love. I would absolutely recommend this book to everyone

Marco and Lilly's story is hot hot hot. What starts out as a man trying to buy a building turns into one hot romp. It leads into more than he asks for. When the pretending starts the truth will soon come out.
This was a great fast read. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Lily finds her self acting out of character for a preachers daughter when she comes face to face with the hottest man she's ever seen. She throws caution to the wind and when she realizes what and who she's done her life will never be the same again. The chemistry between the two main characters is undeniable and scorching hot. I enjoyed this book. Thank you for allowing me to read this and write about it.

Hot! Lily is in debt and someone wants to buy out her salon to build a parking garage. Marco decides to pay her a visit and see if he can convince her to sell. Sparks fly when they meet and steamy sex ensues but when she finds out that he is one of the buyers she is not happy. He then makes her an offer she can’t refuse. Will she accept? Fast-paced off the charts steamy read. I really liked it!

Such a sexy, scorching book, whew. This is my first book by this author, but will not be the last. I love her writing. The characters were relatable. And the story was unique and the ending sweet. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy.

Hot...sexy...fast paced! Not a whole lot more to say, lol, a great escape kind of read, I look forward to more from this author.

I liked this read - I thought Marco and Lily in the bedroom were amazing :) It was naughty and sexy as hell and still managed to be sweet and romantic. It was a complicated combination but well executed. It was the second half of the story that dragged a bit for me. It felt like Marco compared Lily one too many times to his ex Angelica. He appeared so hung up on this sweet and gentle OW and second guessed how he handled their relationship. Which to me felt a bit like undermining the fact that if things had changed, what he had with Lily would never have happened. This kind of inner struggle that revolves around OW/OM is a huge pet peeve so I had to make an effort to cut Marco some slack. He does make up for it and their HEA was worth the wait.

Memorable Moments:
I loved Lily's parting shot to Marco, call me vindictive but he so deserved it!

"I was always okay with you being broken, but I'm not okay with you being a coward."


I literally wanted to give her a standing ovation for this moment. I related to her in the moment. She was hurt and vulnerable and heartbroken but she was still strong enough to speak her mind and in a way make a last ditch effort to make him see what he was throwing away by being stuck in the past. I'm a sucker for a broken/damaged hero but all too often heroines let their Heroes get away with too much. The fact that Lily calls him out and doesn't give in silently was awesome!

Memorable Moments:
The Gotham/Batman role playing between them was silly but showed a more easy going Average Joe side to Marco. He let down his walls with Lily enough to have a sweet playful side to him. The fact that he remembers Lily's love of all things Batman was adorable.

Would I recommend?
This was definitely on the hotter/naughty side of erotica and would definitely recommend for those that don't mind instant sexual gratification before deeper emotions develop and if you like your smexy times with a little raunchy kink, this one might be right up your alley.

I volunteered to the read this book via NetGalley and my opinion is that of my own.

This is the first book I've read from Carmen Falcone. I read the blurb and it caught my attention instantly while browsing NetGalley one day. I read Good Girl Gone Bad on my commutes to work and back home. OMG, I felt like everyone was watching me and judging me because damn..... I felt the steam coming off my body with how freaking hot this book was.
Seriously, how do authors come up with words that target your heart and the right places lol. The scorching factor is one of the reasons I kept reading this book.
Overall, put the hotness aside and Good Girl Gone Band was an OK read.
Initially, I was cussing (Yes I said cussing) the book gods as to why the book was written in third person. I've always found books written in third person hard to follow and a serious disconnect with the characters. I did not feel a connection with Lily or Marco which left me a little disappointed.
I also wished the blurb was tied into the story a little bit more. Where is the good church girl story line? I was left a little confused with the direction the story took.
If you enjoy a hot as hell story then you will definitely like this book. For me, I liked it the characters were not that memorable. I also wanted more of a connection to the characters.
3 Stars and thank you NetGalley.

Didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. I never really felt the connection between the characters and therefore, I couldn't connect to them. This book is basically sex with a bit of story thrown in. Some of the dialogue during sexy times was cringey and the use of tw*t during it was really off putting. There's a good story there, but it needs to be more developed.

Lily is just trying to make ends meet. After her father dies and her mother's health deteriorates, she is financially responsible for her family's debt ... but she will not sell the family hair salon to the big rich developer. Lily looses her head to a handsome guy who walks into her salon, letting him take her in the storage room in the back of her salon, only to find out that he's the one who wants to buy her salon. Marco was just going to ask the salon owner face to face to sell her property to him, seeing how nothing else has worked. But when he sees her, he has to have her and then he can't get enough of her. So he asks her to pretend to be his fiancee for a month to ease his dying grandmother that he is settling down ... and in return, he will pay off all her debt and she can keep her salon.

This book is definitely steamy! I could feel the chemistry between Marco and Lily through the pages of the book. Lily is just a good girl who can't seem to get it together, but I loved the fact that she didn't let Marco intimidate her with his good looks and wealth. Even though Marco had this big tough exterior, he was just a softee on the inside when it came to Lily. If you are looking for a quick steamy romance ... then this is the book for you!
