I’m not supposed to crave the drummer of the hottest new rock act or notice his tortured green eyes. I shouldn’t care that he shies away from everyone. I’m a journalist and I have one job to do.
Get the story.
But selling his secrets for tomorrow’s headlines would not only ruin him, it would destroy me. Yesterday, I had a future. Today, I have a choice—career suicide or protect a drummer who … a drummer who hates me.

“One look. That’s all it takes. And I’m his.”
Girl, I felt it too! Confession…when I first met the drummer in a previous book…I had no clue what was simmering below the surface. Damn! He’s all dark and deep and damaged. I’d almost say beyond repair, but that was before he met her.
She’s the last thing he needs at this time in his life, at least that’s what he thinks when she shows up. His body has other ideas. It wakes the hell up. He fights the pull and pushes and pushes and pushes her. He has secrets that he wants to be kept far away from the beautiful journalist. He insults her and provokes her and guess what? She’s badass and refuses to run away with her tail between her legs.
Are you intrigued yet? Good. *patting myself on the back*
Bad for Me was oh so good for me. Exactly what I needed to take my mind off my life and allow me to escape into an exciting world with a rude rock star and a strong woman who could see past his bad behavior. His painful journey was heartbreaking and inspiring and the author kept me on the edge from start to finish, hanging by a thread, knowing what I wanted to happen and worried it wouldn’t.
I’m loving the Rock Me series soooo much. I know there’s at least one more, and I can’t wait to spend time with him and the woman that convinces the manwhore to change his wicked ways. The line forms here…
Somebody needs to explain me, what happened here!!!
I was so consumed by this story that it broke my heart when I read the words “The End” on the last page but it was worth the journey.
Lee Piper definitely exceeded my expectations with this story. It was a rollercoaster of emotions from the very beginning. One you can’t seem to control.
Bad for Me is an unexpected book that will test your boundaries. It will gut you, break you, enchant you and put you back together in the most delicious painful way.
“The rest of your life is a long time,” I whisper. “Are you sure you’re up for it?” Tobias traces my tears with his tongue, licking away the salt. “I’m sure. You’re the sunshine after the motherfucking rain. I’ve been waiting a long time for the clouds to part, sweetheart, and you’re my reward.”
Tobias is a complex character. Most can even say, he is an anti-hero. He is dominant, demanding, wild, reckless and he is not afraid to make you BEG. He is not perfect. Oooh, no! He is way far from that, but he knows, deep down, his life needs a change. Something that can challenge him and push him to do MORE. Crossing paths with Mae was exactly what he needed in a world he felt lost.
Our hearts beat in tandem as our souls align.
I loved Mae. She is passionate, relentless, caring and unpredictable. I was really surprised about her and I think she was the perfect partner for Tobias. He needed someone as strong as Mae was to beat the odds and find the perfect balance.
Their chemistry is off the charts and the unique bond they have, make this whole story even more addictive and utterly amazing.
I totally recommend it
Bad For Me is not your average rockstar read.
It’s dark and definitely more than a little dirty! I loved it!
Wow! I was totally blown over by the intense, poetic writing of Lee Piper’s Bad For Me. Every single feeling Tobias had, I felt it all the way down to my curling toes. This book was incredibly hot, powerfully emotional, and thought provoking. I love when a character who’s not just broken, but completely shattered in every sense of the word, can find his way to love with the right person on on his team. Mae was everything Tobias didn’t know he needed. This book captivated me and I devoured it in one sitting. If you love dark, intense, and emotional sexy romances, then this book is for you! Five BROKEN FOR THE BAD BOY Stars!
This is my first time reading Lee Piper and I loved this rockstar romance. I think this is the 6th book in her series, but I read it as a stand-alone and didn’t have any problems following the story. Bad For Me is a dark, angsty, hot and full of emotions.
“I never knew a man so gorgeous could be so cruel.”
Tobias is intimidating and gorgeously sinful. He also has secrets, secrets that he doesn’t want anyone to know. So when Mae show up to do a write on his band, he doesn’t hesitate to show her who is going to be in control.
“His music weaves a tantalizing spell. It draws me in, overtakes my body, and laughs as I fall victim to his rhythm.”
Mae has put everything on the line, her house and job, for this interview. She’s going to lose it all if Tobias won’t cooperate. What happens when they cross the line? Is everything going to fall apart, or will they find what they didn’t know they looking for?
Pain, hopelessness, and utter defeat can bring the strongest man to his knees. Loveless, conniving, and malicious parents can cause any boy to grow up into an emotionless man.
Tobias always had a difficult home life but believed his band would pull him through the darkness. What he didn’t expect was a bandmate being the one who pushes him over the edge. One car ride is all it took to alter his future. One car ride is all it took to cause pain that’ll stay a lifetime. One moment of utter hopelessness caused him to close his heart for good…then Mae stormed into his life.
Mae comes into the lives of the bandmates hoping to catch a story that will save her home and her memories. She never expected she would find a deep and twisted connection with Tobias. As Mae struggles with the truth of losing everything, she continues to fight against her feelings toward Tobias…but he has other plans.
Bad For Me by Lee Piper is a heart-wrenching, steamy rockstar romance that surpasses any rockstar romance I’ve read. The poetic way this novel is written causes readers to feel the pain the characters are drowning under. The connection between the reader and the characters is almost tangible.
This is the perfect book for anyone who loves a passionate, dark love story that will keep you glued to your spot until you reach the end.
This is the 6th book in this phenomenal series and is Tobias and Mae’s story. Tobias is a broken soul who is on a path of self-destruction, and Mae is a feisty reporter who is the perfect match for him as they challenge and push each other’s boundaries. This is a beautifully written tale which this gifted author has given her heart and soul into penning, and she has certainly outdone herself with this brilliant story. This story is intense, thrilling, raw, gritty, heart-breaking, passionate, and with twists and love which all led to an emotional roller coaster, all-consuming powerful read. I was totally enthralled throughout this riveting tale, and I highly recommend for all, just be aware that there may be triggers for some readers.
Tobias is a tall, dark, and broken drummer with a past that’d destroy most. Mae is a journalist looking for the story that would save her career. The chemistry and angst between the two of them is scorching hot! I loved everything about Bad For Me!
Well alrighty then…
This was not what I was expecting. I knew that this author would weave me in her spell because there is a lure to the way that she crafts a sentence. It is poetic and visceral. Even when there is a touch of darkness that should have felt depraived or made me feel uncomfortable it was mesmerizing. I am in awe of how she can make me feel with words the way music does with sound.
Tobias had a brutality to him that I wasn’t expecting. The baggage he was carrying alone should have been enough to push Mae away but his cruelty even more. Yet, there was beauty in that cruelty and I was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. I guess that is the masochist in me because it was delicious. I wanted more, so I could understand why Mae did too. I found myself irritated at times because this amazing story was told in a short time frame. I wanted it spread out more and have their animosity explored more as they fought this attraction to one another and the reasons behind that attraction. That could just be me wanting everything in a pretty bow too. The steamy times in this book? YEAH, Some of the hottest ones that I have read. The chemistry, the brutality, and grittiness of it. HOT. HOT. HOT.
That being said, I did struggle with a few parts. I wanted to know more about Mae and her backstory. There was room here to expand on in my opinion especially if her being alone was why the connection with Tobias was as strong as it was. I also struggled, REALLY STRUGGLED, with Shiloh in this story. Had I not already loved her in her story, I am not sure that I would have even liked her in this one. I had to keep reminding myself that this was Tobias and Mae’s story to keep her from spoiling it because, trust me when I say this, they deserved to have this moment.
Even with my issues, I still LOVED this story. It reminded me why I fell in love with her all over again. I almost wish they all had this edge to them because it truly was magic. I am looking forward to whatever this author has coming next.
love this series
Tobias and Mae grabbed my heart and squeezed
intense emotional broken heartstopping
beautiful love story
so broken
all the feels
ready for more
OMFG!! Just finished this one last night and had to sleep on it to get my words out. This one was dirty, gritty and full of raw emotions for Tobias and Mae. It is hard to explain how a book just consumes you and has you by the throat throughout it.
I was not sure how I would feel about Tobias in the beginning but damn his hot, alpha dominate mentality had me in a puddle very quickly. Mae is also perfect to control him but also submit to every desire she has for herself. I was needing a fan because my room or immediate area seem to be getting hotter and hotter the more I read.
So I would HIGHLY suggest having a fan, cold beverage and whatever else you may need to cool yourself and this was one HAWT AF read. I have to say I think this is my Favorite of this series. Well done Lee Piper, WELL DONE!!!
Bad for Me is intense, dark and all consuming. Tobias and Mae’s story is raw and brutal. It is some of Lee Piper’s best work. This is not your typical love story, but it is beautiful and real. Two lost souls finding and trusting each other to put the pieces of their shattered hearts back together. Its messy and a little unconventional, but Tobias and Mae aren’t your typical couple! They will dig a hole in your heart and settle in. Lee did a phenomenal job of making me feel every emotion these characters were feeling through her words. Definitely a must read!!
I have been a huge fan of this author for a while now. She is truly a rock star herself. I love the way she takes letters, syllables, words and wraps them around my heart, branding me with them, leaving me changed just from having experienced her creation. I will openly admit that I am not a fan of bully romance. But I was willing to give Lee’s brand of bully a try. And even though Tobias was dark and cruel, I was still able to feel for him. He still claimed a tiny piece of my heart, which is a feat considering no bully character has so far. And I absolutely adored Mae.
Well Wow! I was really looking forward to Drummer Tobias’ story following his dramatic introduction at the start of the Rock Me series, but I hadn’t expected such a dark and damaged soul who I think even surprises himself by his own depravity at times in this story.
This is a journey of pain, punishment, realization and ultimately, love for our broken battle worn anti-hero, and he definitely fits that description early in the book in his interaction with rock journalist Mae, who is counting on getting the goods on Tobias in order to score a super story that will please her editor and gain her the necessary funds to but back her grandparent’s house; a home that holds her heart.
These two clash from the outset. Tobias’s walls securely locked to the news hound who he sees as the enemy; but an enemy who has also drawn his eye and awakened something inside him he’s not prepared to pursue.
Their sparring is tempered with undeniable chemistry and it’s not long before their clashes are physical and unstoppable.
Tobias is downright cruel and so far from appealing at the start I couldn’t fathom him changing and not until the end did I find anything to love in him, but find it I did and it was almost a mercurial transformation, and in all honestly I found the time line a little rushed for such a mental and emotional breakthrough.
This is largely an emotional, sexual story as their explore their boundaries and work through their frustrations and issues on one another, each discovering something of themselves and the other, it’s a Clash of Titans match of flesh and lust, that burns off the page and is impossible to put down!
WOW! This book will blow you away! If damaged men are your thing then make sure to read this book. This book is intense and hot with characters with amazing chemistry.
I didn’t expect this!
Dark and raw feelings between a tortured soul as Tobias and a woman that tried to save her inheritance at any cost. Their story is not your usual love story but if you like dark steamy scenes this is definitely for you.
Tobias, my King of Black Heart.. wow and I mean blessed his poor heart.. Bad for me was a stirred-crazy and intense. Tobias and Mae were connected like magnet .. intertwined and darkness.
Honestly, the story was really hard for me to digest. I was falling deeper into the idea of dominance and I felt for it. There was love, rage, hurt and mixed feelings. Tobias was not just the ordinary rocker. He was an enigma.
Wow! Didn’t expect to read this dark, twisted side of Tobias & Mae. He’s foul-mouth, obnoxiously rude, and has no care in the world about anything. She’s the struggling-to-make-ends-meet reporter trying to get the inside scoop of the band, particularly Tobias. He pushes and shoves without an ounce of remorse, feeding off of other’s hurt & pain. Mae takes & accepts, knowing she has to stop the vicious cycle of Tobias’ dirty game but can’t. Because deep down she needs it as much as he does.
Two people who couldn’t be any more different. The gifted drummer hiding a dark secret and the girl who he fears will gut him wide open. They could end in disaster or something tragically beautiful. Either way Tobias will need to expose & confront his demons or risk losing the only girl his heart beats for. The author took us readers on a darker path with this book to find peace for Tobias. Another amazing addition to the series.
I loved this book! This was not the normal rockstar romance. Mae and Tobias’ story will touch your heart.
5 BAD FOR ME STARS!! Holy Moly…..I am at a loss for words!! Nobody writes Rock stars like this author, sexy, dark, intense and broken, but you love them no matter what. Tobias and Mae will take you on a very emotional ride and it is so worth every minute. You definitely need to read this book and series….it is so good.
