Julianne Truman loves and is dedicated to her job as a high school art's teacher but with funding issues and life, it seems like her job has a time limit on it. Living the same town where she grew up, has not made her life easy, in some ways it has made it harder as she still has the memories every time she sees something that reminds her of him.
Zane DeMonde had his heart broken when he was younger and has promised himself that it will never happen to him again. Moving away and making something of himself, he pushed all that heartache and pain in his art, making him one of the best artist around. So when he finds out that, Julianne is selling the art work he gave her years ago, he decides that he will do anything to make sure she don't sell it.
Being back in his hometown Zane is unprepared for the feelings he once had to come rushing back to him, Julianne knows that what happened years ago was something that has haunted her everyday since it has happened. Coming face to face with each other, it is clear that no matter how much time passes sometimes love conquers all, no matter what but first it has to get off its high horse to see what is in front of them before it is too late.
The Bad Boys Gift is a story about love and dreams, how can you follow your dreams but also find or keep love in the process. The characters are beautifully written and I was amazed by the detail that went into the art descriptions in the story, I would recommend this book to anyone who has a soft spot for art or someone who loves a book about finding what has always been in front of you all along.
