This is the first book for a new series. This story is about Grayson and Isabel. Isabel is a junior reporter and Grayson is a PI. Grayson got himself into a situation and needs a fake girlfriend for a week as a cover for an investigation he was busy with. A few unexpected twists and a fun read but I wish there was more.

Talk about tension. Grayson and Isobel have a second chance together but there are past hurts that keep getting in the way. I kept getting frustrated because I wanted Grayson to admit why he left and admit his feelings. The action and danger add an extra layer of anticipation and tension to their already sizzling chemistry. Great read!
Lexi Hart did a great job on this story, Bad Boyfriend had a strong plot that was filled with many emotions. Grayson and Isabel’s journey will take you on a rollercoaster, they had many ups and downs but these two, they were made for each other. Their attraction, the connection and chemistry between them was strong. They were great together.
I enjoyed this story. Thanks, Lexi Hart. Great work 🙂
Surprising story
4.5
Excellent story: the hero has an unbearable, arrogant, rude and mysterious behavior but he evolves once we understand what he is.
It’s a both a second chance story, but it’s not one too : Isabel suffered too much from Grayson’s departure 8 years ago, and he can’t have a relationship due to his troubled past and background.
The romance is mixed with an unexpected, complex investigation, with action, many twists and turns and the story is fascinating.

This book takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride of deceit, deception and intrigue. Izzy is a gorgeous ,independent, stubborn, single woman who has lived in her hometown her entire life. She has never gotten over her first love – Grayson. Grayson is back in town. He is good looking, bad boy who has come back to town and needs some help on a case. Izzy will be working with him. The story is filled with twists and turns, ups and downs and turnarounds you are never sure what’s going to happen. Izzy is having a hard time getting her feelings straightened out. Grayson is finding this isn’t as easy as he thought it would be. It’s a page-turner. It was an enjoyable read, original and unpredictable.

Can they keep it fake?
This story is about Isabel and Grayson. They have a history together – one she would rather forget! However, now they’re being forced to work together, and she’s not really happy about it.
There’s action, drama, and feelings of angst, betrayal and regret. There’s also plenty of personality and passion. But can she bring herself to trust him and hold her heart in his hands again?

I enjoyed this book. I did find it took me a couple of chapters to get into the story and understand what was going on. It starts off at a fairly slow pace, I was just as confused as Izzy as to what Greyson was really up to !!! However, the pace increases and events then move on very quickly making for good although somewhat predictable read.
After five years of doing an advice column, Isabel finally is offered a “real” assignment by her editor, but she will have to work with a Private Investigator from out of town. Unfortunately, she has bad history with Grayson Cole who walked out on her and broke her heart. Now she has to pretend to be his girlfriend as a cover for his investigation?
But working long hours showing affecting to the public is bringing it all back – all the good stuff, that is. And she doesn’t want to fall for him and risk her heart again! But Grayson has something to tell her that may turn things completely around. What secret has he been keeping? Can she ever trust him again?
Grayson’s back and Isabel has been recruited to pose as his girlfriend, while he works on a case. Needless to say, things began rocky between them. She was not over the past, and he did not want to discuss it. Can Isabel restore her trust in Grayson?
This story was intense but also entertaining. There is never a dull moment. The stress, action, and secrets keep you wanting more.
When their morals collide, how will they carry on?

The author has given us characters we can care about. The story pulls you in and does not let go. With tension, action and secrets, you cannot help but keep turning the pages to find out if Grayson and Isabel will be able to have a happily ever after.

I wasn’t sure what Lexi was thinking when she decided to to write a book that didn’t start with “One Wild Weekend With…” but she pulled it off! Grayson and Isabel’s story is a great read with lots of heat!
The last time she seen him, she was 16 years old. He left without a good bye or a reason for leaving. Now that he is back is going to tell her the reason?
