The boy next door.Star of my teenage fantasies.My tormentor.After serving as an army doctor in some of the most dangerous places on Earth, Brandon has finally come home. And he’s brought his cocky, alpha attitude and rugged good looks with him. To my hospital. He’s still a loose cannon and I’m right in his sights.But instead of begging for him to stop, this good girl is having to stop herself … instead of begging for him to stop, this good girl is having to stop herself from begging for more.
I thought I put my obsession with this moody bad boy to bed.
It now appears that’s right where he wants me.
I’ve always made good choices.
But this time I’m worried I’ll pick the one that’s bad for me, even if Brandon feels oh so right.
‘Bad for You’ is a sweet and sexy romance featuring a bully turned military hero and a smarty-pants girl next door on a twisted road to happily ever after. It stands alone with no cheating, cliffhangers, or nonsense.

Brandon and Aimee have a fiery hateful relationship. They have had a bad time of it since they were kids, and now that he’s back in town, he cannot get her off his mind and is determined to figure out why. The storyline is absolutely sweet as pie and intense in parts. They have a relationship that starts off rocky but eventually get started them their HEA. I cannot wait to see what happens with Lucy!
4.5*
This stories covers so many issues, both emotional and physical. At first I was a bit annoyed by Aimee’s intractable attitude and lack of empathy with regard to Brandon, but they worked through the hurt. Although long, I found this book totally engrossing.

Brandon was a bully to Aimee when they were kids. Aimee is a doctor now and Brandon’s father is her mentor at the hospital. Brandon’s Dad pulls some strings and Brandon comes to their hospital to work temporarily. He’s still moody and abhors his father but his thoughts about Aimee are different now that he sees her as a woman. Aimee is attracted to Brandon too but won’t admit it. Their cat and mouse game makes for interesting foreplay! Secrets get revealed and attitudes change to make a very happy ending. A fantastic book!

This is a new author for me and I’m jumping right in at book #9 in this series. I can say that Bad For You works as a standalone as I really didn’t have any idea of the previous books in this series.
Aimee is all grown up now but she still remembers Brandon, a childhood bully and first crush. She’s too smart to get involved with him now that they are working together, especially when she still has not so good past memories of Brandon. It’s a perfect setup for a enemies to lovers story and they will both have to deal with understanding what happened in the past and finding forgiveness.
Overall, Bad for You is a contemporary romance with interesting and likable characters. Aimee is terrific and strong-willed and her maturity anchors the story. Brandon has a little more “past” to deal with, but when it comes to Aimee, he’s willing to make the effort. I liked the two of them together. I’d checked out other books from this author.
Aimee’s mom worked for Brandon’s family as a nurse to his mother. Brandon and his friends tormented her every chance they got until one day his friends went too far. Now years later Brandon is a trauma doctor in the military and ends up at the hospital his father and Aimee work at. Sparks between them as they banter back forth, Brandon wants Aimee not because he wants her but because it’ll stir up things between him and his father. When Aimee gives in and lets down her guard to Brandon it seems like things are great between them. However he has a secret that could end things between them. Will he get a chance to explain before Aimee finds out?
This is an amazing story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is sizzling hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Excellent romance from the prologue
I loved the story from the beginning. It is a conquest beyond the past a little heavy from harassment between the two heroes. The story is full of twists, has good dialogues, is well written, and partially unpredictable, in the world of the hospital. The author has been able to express each character in its extremes, the good ones as well as the bad ones.
Aimee was harassed by Brandon when she was young, but when they meet, both have changed. They are both doctors, he from the army, but he is temporarily placed in the civilian hospital of his father whom he hates, and she is protected by this father, and she hates Brandon because he abandoned his father, harassed her, and humiliated her younger.
But Brandon’s military and family background is heavy for him too, and now his vision of Aimee is totally different. For the first time, he is attracted by a woman whose feelings are divided between powerful hatred and a very strong attraction

I’m a sucker for love stories involving the perennial bad boy. So when I read the blurb for this new release, by an author whose work I have never encountered before (sorry), I knew I had to check it out. “Bad for You” is a second-chance-at-love type of story. The main characters knew of each other as kids. The heroine’s point of view resonated with me, ‘coz I was in her shoes, too. I really liked this bad-boy-wannabe in my teens, but he was an asshole (still is, btw), but in “Bad for You,” the guy turned out to be all right. Holloway’s writing pushed the story forward at a pace that held my attention for the hours needed to take in this contemporary romance. Yes, hours. Not days. I kinda devoured this one in a jiffy. While “Bad for You” is not very original in its plot, the sizzling interaction between the main characters jumped right off the e-pages, making me eager to get to the next scene as fast as possible. It was pure bliss. Reading “Bad for You” was a breeze and made Holloway now an auto-buy.
This is my first time in reading this author with the story catching my attention because I really do not like to start in a series that is already in progress, Unless that can be read alone but than I am usually good at putting pieces together. It also seemed to be a second chance too which I do like to read. In this we get Brandon and Aimee whom cross paths again later in life. First time was not that good in her mind but this time there has been life in between. This is one that will show you what time and love can do with the right healing to put the pieces together. It will tug at the heart twist on the emotions and keep you turning the pages. I was certainly satisfied with this read and glad it caught my attention.
Aimee and Brandon have history, one riddled with painful memories and lots of scars. Brandon and his friends use to torment her when they were back in high school, and she has carried that hate for them to her adult life. What made it tough was that he was her first crush, but with their age difference she never really had a chance with him. Not that he seemed interested anyway…
She has thought of him off and on through the years, wandering where life has taken him, and if he is still as good looking as he use to be. Now she is about to get all her questions answered because Brandon has returned home and is going to be working at the same hospital that she does.
With her protective shield in place she plans to avoid him at all costs and deflect any lingering feelings that might come around when he is near… but that becomes a little easier said then done when he sets his sights on her and won’t take her “not interested” hints…
Bad for You is a beautifully written tale, it’s pages held a story that tugged on the heartstrings and kept me captivated from beginning to end. Aimee and Brandon had a lot of growing and forgiving to do, which lead their relationship to be very intense at times. Their constant struggle with their inner demons, and past hurts kept them from falling quickly, but you could definitely feel the passion lingering their too. I loved the natural progression of their relationship, and getting to see the personal growth in both of them, it made their story feel believable. This is one of those reads that will take you on an emotional roller coaster, having many highs and lows… it’s good on the heart and worth every minute of the ride!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving an honest and unbiased opinion.
I received a review copy before release for an honest review.
This is a book I have been waiting for and it was as good as I imagined it was. In this story we go back to the hospital where in a previous book in the series Dr Eric and Nurse Faith fell in love in book#6 in A Bad Case for Loving You. If you read their story you know that Faith’s mom ends up married to the evil Dr Koels, the hospital admininstrator. Dr Aimee is his protegee and his son Brandon has come back to the hospital temporarily.
In this story we start at the beginning and see how Aimee and Brandon met and what he did to her as a 13 year old kid. Then the story picks up 13 years later when Dr Koels makes his son come and work at his hospital.
It is a very long story and I loved that we get to watch their fights and their love story unfold.
Falling in love is not easy on either side as they have a messy past and a messy relationship even in the future. But Brandon is this really wonderful guy. He is a military doctor and he really loved the military. He is stuck at his fathers hospital and he always picks Aimee every single time and that was amazing.
His father is a jerk and I guess you could say his father taught him how to not love and so he is always so there for Aimee.
There are a lot of HOT scenes and I mean a lot. My favorite was the first one. So if you don’t, like sex scenes beware but if you do, well you will really enjoy them. There is also a violent scene near the end. So beware about that.
This story is about love and forgiveness and I think the message I got was that as long as there is love there is the chance for forgiveness. I have read this series and I really love it and well this story was really wonderful. I really enjoyed every moment of this story.
A fastpaced and entertaining book.
The storyline is thrilling and the characters are great. Love the chemistry between Brando and Aimee.

Aimee is an amazing woman. She was bullied by Brandon as a teen (yes he stopped his friends from doing it) however that didn’t stop him. Aimee could have hated Brandon and been ignorant yet even if she wanted nothing to do with him she did end up giving him a chance and these two grew as people, especially Brandon and I respect that.. That my friends is what won me over.
