Now he can’t keep his hands off of me, and I can’t … can’t keep his hands off of me, and I can’t say no.
Rules are set: No one can find out. It can’t lead anywhere.
But rules were always meant to be broken.
And that’s exactly what we are doing. Breaking them all.

Love a brothers best friend romance and Bad For You was a good one! Nautica has always loved her brother Simon’s b/f Bracken! This story starts with Nautica and Bracken having one steamy night to many more sexy moments, to Simon catching them, to things going south! Then to 5yrs later and that’s all I’m saying you will to read this to find out! My first read by Charity Ferrell will l read more yes!!
I discovered this author after giving her new release, Roommates, a chance. I loved it so much that I immediately headed off to Amazon to check out her other books and found this one. Brother’s best friend tends to be one of my go to genres and this one was exactly my kind of book. I was immediately hooked and read it all in one sitting, which I suspect is going to be common when it comes to a book by this author. The characters were so likeable and the storyline cleverly created to take the reader on a journey and leave them wanting more. This is only my second book by Charity Ferrell, but I’m hooked on her work and can’t wait to see what other books she has. As with Roommates, I’ve already recommended this author to other readers because I just don’t understand why her books don’t have more reviews
4.5 Stars
What a story. My emotions were all over the place while reading this book. Nautica (love that name) and Bracken are friends. More precisely she is his best friend’s little sister and totally off limits. But they both have been secretly fighting their attraction to one another. Eventually they aren’t able to deny their feelings and sleep together. What follows is a series of events that bring about heartache and pain but eventually leads to redemption and love. The journey isn’t an easy one but it makes for a beautiful story.

Bad for You by Charity Ferrell is her latest Contemporary Forbidden Romance Novel. This story is a standalone and a Brother’s Best Friend story.
This was a truly enjoyable read. It is a fairly quick read but it wasn’t lacking for anything. Charity was able to give us a story with relatable and likable characters. She created a story that was fun, sexy, and not a lot of drama. Charity has a great ability to give us books that aren’t loaded down with a lot of extra stuff we don’t need. Her books and writing skill gets better with every book I read by her. She has a fan for life!! I will say that this book was slightly predictable, but she was still able to keep me interested all the way through and she even through in a little shocker that I wasn’t expecting. I like when an author can keep me on my toes 😉
In this story we meet Nautica and Bracken. Bracken is Nautica’s brother Simon’s BFF. Nautica has been in love with Bracken for as long as she can remember and thinks that he doesn’t feel the same way. That is until one night Nautica is left by her room mate at a bar and Bracken sees her. Bracken has always looked out for Nautica, but has taken it more seriously now that she is in college and Simon in away in the Army. Bracken is not happy with her being in a bar and makes her hang out with him and his friends. For certain reasons Nautica is unable to go back to her dorm room, so Bracken invites her to stay at his house. So after some drinks and flirting, some lines are crossed. Will Bracken finally admit his feelings for Nautica? What happens when Simon finds out? Well to get the answers to these and other questions, you will need to read the book!!
Bad For You is a stand-alone story, that is told in Dual POV and has a happy ending. The storyline is fun and sexy with a little bit of drama to keep you turning the page. The characters are easy to relate to and aren’t struggling with a lot of extra baggage. That’s probably the thing I liked the most….these characters weren’t broken like we see in a lot of New Adult books these days. Yes there were family issues and yes Bracken was your typical playboy, but this story didn’t dwell on those facts. It just felt different to me…hard to explain without spoiling things for the readers.
So if you are a fan of a Forbidden, Friends to Lovers type story than this is a book you should give a try. I have read all of Charity’s books and I would not hesitate at all recommending any of them…..they are all fantastic reads!!!! I look forward to what comes next from Charity Ferrell.
Bad for You by Charity Farrell a five-star read you badly need to read. This is a book for anyone with a big brother, in fact anyone at all, but anyone with a big brother will definitely identify with Nautica Evans, her big brother Simon Evans has always believed no man will ever be good enough for her, especially not his best friend Bracken Casey as he has a history of using women to get what he wants and is known as a commitment-phobe. He’s a hometown playboy that her brother has trusted with to keep her safe and away from boys while she studies at college. As her brother Simon knowns, he won’t ruin the bro code over a girl, would he?
The only thing is her brother doesn’t know that his little sister Nautica has been in love with his best friend for years, and its only grown bigger and stronger as the years wore on, but she has always known nothing will happen. It can’t he’s her big brothers best friend. He doesn’t like her? Does he?
Until one fateful night when he sees her across the bar, ditched by her roomie, who has taken a guy home and told her to make herself scares for a few hours. After a few drinks with him and his roomies, they go back to his place and the only place to sleep is his room, and there is nothing wrong with sharing a bed, as nothing could happen and its more comfortable than the floor, surely. There is a rule that they wouldn’t sleep together as she is his best friends brother. It’s totally against the bro code rules.
But as we all know, rules are there to be broken, and broken they shall be. But as with breaking any rules there are always consequences, will they be able to deal with the outcome of the consequences? Or will the consequences to much for them?
