I ran from him…I ran because I fell in love with him and he could never be mine. I left because he lied, he never loved me, he will never be free and he will never be mine.He didn’t make me any promises, but I was still naive… and I ended up in hell…Now I have to live in it…
Good Intentions has a good pace and interesting characters, not necessarily all likable characters, but they do make for an interesting read. If cheating and cliffhangers are hard limits, this one has both, so be forewarned. While I can’t say I agree with the cheating part, there are some extenuating circumstances, and this is fiction after all. Everything considered, the story is a sexy, quick read that held my attention, and I’ll be interested to see what happens next.
Going straight onto book 2, so many questions I’m hoping to get the answers to.
Ana has me so intrigued to see where this story is going .
Such a fantastic read! Nick is in a bad marriage with his wife Claire. Claire is only using him for his money and threatens to take his son, Ben, away from him. I clearly dislike Claire a lot!! Heather a temptation at work has caught Nick’s attention, will he be able to resist her? Such a hot and forbidden story and one I definitely recommend.
This book was nothing like I expected from Ms Balen after reading Wishing for a Star which was so brilliant. Good Intentions was no more than a novella, there are three parts to the story. Not sure wether I will continue reading or not as I do not like cheating and due to the lack of character development I haven’t connected with any of them.
Nick has envisioned his life, he’s a workaholic focused on reaching his goals. He has no time for a permanent women in his life until his dream was changed. His son Ben means the world to him, he’s never loved anyone so fiercely, but his wife has become cold and uses him for his money. Staying in a lifeless marriage for the sake of keeping his son close. Then he crosses a line and may not be able to get himself out of the hot water he’s just landed in.
The Author hit it out of the park! Good Intentions is a wonderful read! Nicks’ marriage has gone bad, and a new temptation has popped up at work. Will infidelity catch up with him? Without giving anything away, I highly suggest you give this series a try. It caught me off guard, and I fell in love with it! Must read!!!
I really love this book. I am not much of a reader but this one kept my attention and I was turning the pages in anticipation. Very well written, the author did a great job, and now I’m off to read book 2!
OMG, I want more!
No, I need more. So good writen story. I couldn’t put the book down till the end. So real life story that could happend to anyone of us. Nick is in loveless marriage with Clair because he doesn’t want to lose his son. But he falls hard for Heather and can’t have her enought. Going in to book no. 2.
This book is wrapped around cheating and if that’s not something you’re able to embrace then unfortunately you’re missing out on quite the beginning of an office romance in the making. Yes there’s a cliffhanger that will have you dying to jump into book two right away. I personally don’t condone anyone breaking their vows but once you learn about Nick’s wife, you start to look at every situation individually. This was my first read from this author and if this is her writing style I can undoubtedly say that I will be looking into more from her work. I need to see where this story goes, highly recommend click.
Wow!!
Hot and intruiging!
A brilliant storyline with so many unanswered questions.
And that ending!?!?! Absolutely loved this book…..can’t wait for book 2!
4.5 smokin stars!!
I’ve been wanting to read this book since the first time I heard about it, so glad I finally got the opportunity to do that now. It was exciting and forbidden and so dang hot. You can bet that I won’t be wasting anytime and will be starting book 2 immediately.
This book may not be for everyone its a good emotional story with a few twists but with Nick and Heather and their passion for each other but for them and the fact he is married might be hard to swallow. It’s got everything I would look for in the book but I just couldn’t get a connection with the characters.
Quick & steamy read!! Can’t wait to see what’s next in this series. If you don’t like cheating in books this is not the book for you. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.
3*
Nick is married to Claire thinking everything would be perfect a wife & child Ben, however appearances are deceptive.
Heather is his temporary secretary and a temptation to yearn for.
I’m hoping that more questions are answered in the next part to understand the relationship & why Claire is so cold etc?
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
Quick read
Nick’s in hell and doesn’t want out because he will looses the most important thing to him. But can he turn of his feelings and ignore his thoughts? Being ignored and treated badly at home can make a man drive his good intentions straight through hell and might not find a way out.
This is one of those books that will either work for you or not because it does contain cheating. This is only volume one so be prepared to wait for more. I liked this read and I found the story interesting. Just like real life things are not simple, easy or clear cut and that is definately what is going on in this book. There is still a whole lot left to explore, as I feel that the surface barely got scratched before this book ended. I’m intrigued to see where things go in volume two.
A fast and good read! I felt sorry for Nick. This is such an emotional story. I can’t wit to read more.
When I first decided to read Good Intentions by Ana Balen I did not realize it was going to be a serial, but either way I am hooked! I cannot wait for the next volume! I will put this out there, as the author did as well, there is cheating in this book, but I am all about the angst!
When Nick married his wife, he was ready to make his marriage work as she was going to be the mother of his child. But Claire, his wife, had other plans that had more to do with his money. But Nick loves his son and will do anything to protect him and keep him in his life. Even if it means being miserable. Then she entered his life and everything changed!
Good Intentions: Volume 1 is a quick, sexy and steamy read! I feel like the remaining volumes will be more of the same with a whole lot of angst! I can’t wait!

Happy reading!
STOP! If you do not like cheating in books keep looking this is NOT the book for you!
I love this book it was HOT fast paced and short in all the right places which I think is really great for this story and even though I am probably biased I mean it is dedicated to me after all 🙂 I still adored it, i’d totally give Nick a quickie in the office 🙂
His wife sounds like a right B I cannot wait for the next one!
This was certainly very steamy! I didn’t realize it was going to be a serial but I liked it enough to look forward to more so I can find out what happens!
Omg how awesome is this book
This is chapter one and I can’t wait for more.
Sometimes the thing you want the most is the thing that you can’t/shouldn’t have.
But what if once in a while you do something for you something selfish, would it turn out any different? I can’t wait to find out
