Marco Giordano needs to convince the hair salon owner to sell, he needs the location to build a garage. Trying to find himself a fiancée to please his ailing grandmother was complicated enough without having to deal with this Lily Jenkins person’s stubbornness. A client entering her salon put a stop to Lily’s musings, and when she looks at him, he takes her breath away. Everyone is welcome, she needs the business, but was she expecting him? When she mistakes him for a client, Marco goes along with it, but the sparks that fly leave them both stunned and aching, and Lily throws caution to the wind, and they end up having a quickie in the supply room. She doubted that he usually patronizes her type of salon, and when she asks him, Marco knows his answer will not go down well with the lovely hair dresser.
Carmen Falcone knows how to make things hotter than hot, and GOOD GIRL GONE BAD has to be her hottest ever! Yet, it is a marvellously sweet story that will give you little shivers of happiness at how lovely Marco and Lily act towards each other, regardless of the scorching sex. Lily and Marco fall in unstoppable lust nearly at first sight, and I had no problem with this as the romance took a while to fully develop. I loved Lily and Marco’s conversations, as well as the banter between Lily and her mother; such brilliant yet simple dialogues. Marco had a heartbreaking backstory, which justified his reluctance to commit. Carmen Falcone knows precisely just how far to push the boundaries, she made me care, she made me all hot and bothered, and the glorious ending to GOOD GIRL GONE BAD made this super hot story all the more satisfying. We all need this man who will bring us lilies …
Lily is in debt, losing clients to a competitor across the street from her and also being hounded to sell out, so a developer can build a parking garage for the new establishments they’re creating. Most of the neighboring business have agreed so she’s the final hold-out. She can’t bring herself to sell, it was her mother’s shop and she has far too many memories to give it up. Although she may not have a choice if she doesn’t get some clients.
Marco and his brother Nicola are the developers but they’ve had an agent handling the details of the purchases. With Lily trying to dissuade others from selling out, Marco decides to pay her a visit.
That visit doesn’t go quite as expected and is one of the hottest scenes in the book. It also goes rapidly downhill when Lily realizes he’s not the person she was expecting.
On top of all the corporate stuff, Marco has a another problem, his grandmother is going to be ninety years old, she’s ill with signs pointing to her not seeing another year. The perfect gift for her, in his mind, is for him to be engaged. However without a girlfriend he was going to have to go about it in a strictly business way, complete with a contract.
With the mutually strong attraction between the two of them, Marco decides that he can design a contract that is beneficial to both him and Lily. One month in his bed and he will pay off her debts, pay above market value for her space and set her salon up in a prime location. She has to respond to the offer in 24 hours or it disappears.
Lily determined to keep her salon comes up with a counteroffer. As he pretty much drools over her, he comes up with the perfect solution to his dilemma. She keeps the salon but she has to be his fiancé for his Nonna’s birthday party in Italy.
This was a quick, fun read, with some family drama, a sweet and feisty grandmother, lots of sizzling sex and a few surprises.
I was rooting for the couple from the beginning. Talk about hot from page 1 to the very end. Even good girls can heat up the pages of a book.
How sweet it is … to be BAD! Good Girl Gone Bad borders on risque, but never veers from having fun. Lily is looking to step out of the shadow of a restrictive upbringing and sashay her way into a bad boy’s heart. Marco is a waking fantasy for her senses and heart. If they can survive the ice storm headed in their direction, an everlasting inferno will be their reward. Falcone loves to be naughty even as she doles out the nice. Sizzle fest.
This book is from the authors new series, Dirty Debts, and is sooo good that once I started I didn’t put it down till the last period. The story has great characters, both are serious, funny, sexy and filled with guilt. The heroine is trying to keep her families business afloat while keeping problems from her mother. The hero has tragic secrets from his past and has grown into a man who wants no emotional ties; so dedicated to this that he has no romantic or business dealings without a signed contract. He needs her property for his new venture, and she’s not willing to part with a business her mother built up from scratch. He offers a solution that is hard to pass up, but she must sign a contract and any break of that contract will mean losing her business. She’s a preachers daughter and has no intention of hurting her mother, but can she do what the contract entails? I do my best not to give spoilers so I’ve tried here to give the overall view of the story. But there is SO MUCH MORE in between the lines. This is one hot read and is for OVER 18 ONLY READERS; but for us lucky ones over the age, the book is filled with snarky humor, emotional sensual feelings so volatile that it hits the both of them right from the start. So if you like sexy reads filled with emotions and humor, don’t pass this one up.
Sizzling!! Marco is a billionaire and pure alpha with a need to be in control of EVERYTHING. Lily is a preachers daughter trying to keep her mother’s dream alive after losing her father. Marco come into Lily’s life at the perfect time and when they come together it is hot, hot, HOT!! This story had great characters and an interesting plot. I enjoyed it!
This is a hot, steamy read with just enough drama and sweetness to keep me turning the pages. Love the chemistry between Marco and Lily and how one touch ignited a fire that neither of them could stop. A well written book, believable characters that are well developed, a story line that flowed and a great HEA make this a 5-star read!
This is a short book, with the usual poor but beautiful girl in a fix, and billionaire who helps her out in exchange for the best sex of her life, in a beautiful locale (Italy in this case). Better writing that some, very steamy; if that’s what you’re looking for this a fine choice.
