BRIARI was infatuated with Asher Kelley the moment he came tumbling through my brother’s window five years ago. Even bruised and bloodied, he was the most beautiful boy I’d ever seen. We couldn’t ever be together.I was too young, and he was too untouchable. He was too troubled, and I was too naive. But the heart is rebellious, and mine decided it didn’t care about any of those things. As I got … of those things.
As I got older, harmless flirting turned to stolen moments in dark corners.
Until one day, he was gone without a trace.
Now, three years later, he’s back.
Callous and cruel.
He’s my brother’s best friend. My parents’ worst nightmare.
I should hate him.
But like a Bad Habit, I can’t quit him.
ASHER
I was drawn to Briar Vale from the first time she looked up at me with stars in her big, blue eyes.
She was just a kid, nothing but elbows and knees, but she was the most beautiful creature I’d ever seen.
We could never be together.
I was too old and she was too off limits.
She was too good and I was too fucked up.
Eventually, the temptation became too much to resist.
I risked everything for a kiss and she betrayed me.
Three years have passed and I’m forced to see her again, but now she’s all grown up.
She’s my best friend’s baby sister. My downfall.
I hate her for what she did.
But she’s always been my drug of choice

“Second chances are not given to make things right, but are given to prove that we could be better even after we fall.”
Bad Habit was my first book by Charleigh Rose and surely not the last.
I think as a little sister it’s almost the easiest and most obvious way to experience first love while falling for the older brothers best friend. I like that thought. Really, and I could see right from the beginning why Briar was drawn to Asher and the other way around. But both were in no position to act on their feelings, because it felt just wrong and they were too young.
After years apart and no contact at all their worlds collide again and what started as a sweet love then turned into a confusing revenge now. Still their attraction and feelings for each other didn’t just vanish when Asher did, they where there. Right on the surface and found their way back catching air again the more they saw each other. Briars unconditional love for Asher is the key to their HEA. They are like magnets that pull on each other and simply can’t be without each other.
Asher is the typical bad boy, closed off, troubled, broken, angry, intense but the heart on the right place and cares deeply.
Briar is a walking sunshine everybody loves. Things come to her naturally and she’s loyal to death.
You can’t help falling for them both.
Bad Habit is a great second chance romance where the MCs have a chemistry that’s off the charts and the secondary characters have a lot of charm so you’ll looking forward reading their story soon.
This story really hits all the right spots!
“”Don’t,” he says. “The last thing an angel like you should be doing is worrying about a fuck-up like me.””
Another first!! this was my first book by Charleigh Rose and it was very worth it!
Bad Habit the story of enemies to lover relationship.. Briar has been in love with Asher since he climbed her brothers window. that kiss was enough to seal their faith… but nothing could prepare them to be ripped apart.. all the lies, misunderstandings, family and friends .. that made this relationship impossible at the time..
Briar is a great character, with so much love to give.. until all what she ever wanted was ripped apart.. she became stronger but definitely still craving her fix.. him .. the love of her life.. unable to resist her craving, she fall for him again but this time, she won’t let him leave and get away.. no matter how hard she fights to cool down the craving, she wants it and needs him in her life.. and she will have it no matter what…
Asher was a very hot, bad boy character. he was so in love with Briar but he never expected what happened, he never expected to be betrayed from the one person he love the most.. but it did and when everything went to hell, he did the only thing he was able to.. leave and forget the past, including the love of his life.. for three years he try to forget, he moved out of town and try to make a new life but destiny brought him back to her and this time, no lies will ever be enough to separate Briar an Asher again.. their love is strong enough to survive anything and everything!!
