A second chance romance at love as 2 ex's, Genevieve and Evan, who have bad reputations as troublemakers with a passionate connection, try to start their lives over and turn their lives around with positive changes through self awareness and a willingness and commitment to change.

BAD GIRL REPUTATION
by Elle Kennedy

They have a past. Will it destroy their future?

Evan and Genevieve are reunited when she returns home to Avalon Bay for her mothers funeral and to help with the family business.

Sparks fly when they see each other, as they always do, and now that Gen’s length of stay is in question, she swears off Evan and his sparks and anything else that might get her into trouble.

Will Gen stay away from Evan while she’s in town or will the chemistry between them be too much for them to resist.

Listen. We get two Avalon Bay books in one year and I am not complaining. I know a little about Elle Kennedy and her writing so I wasn’t surprised when this book got a little steamier than GOOD GIRL COMPLEX, but know that Gen’s bad girl reputation is well-deserved.

I think my favorite part about Kennedy’s writing is how relatable and believable her characters relationships are. I fully buy in to the dynamics between the main characters.

They feel authentic.

I really enjoyed revisiting AVALON BAY for a bad girl love story and recommend you add this to your cozy fall Tbr.

This one comes out October 4, 2022.

Thanks to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the advanced listening copy!

BAD GIRL REPUTATION…⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm usually not the biggest fan of New Adult/College age romances, especially when the characters often act really juvenile but I was a goner for this steamy, dual POV second chance romance between childhood sweethearts Evan and Genevieve, who are both working hard to reform their 'bad' reputations and see if they can be good together.

It was great getting to know Evan better in this book while also still seeing snippets into his twin Cooper and Mac's life from Good girl complex. Another win from Elle Kennedy as far as I'm concerned. I can't get enough of her Avalon Bay series and these book covers are GORGEOUS!! Much thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review. I switched back and forth from ebook and audiobook and really enjoyed the narration by Lee Samuels and Summer Morton.
