Detective Andreas Ruffner is no fool—he’s found a man who loves him, puts up with him, and has stuck with him through hell and back, and it’s time to put a ring on it. Darren Corliss is the love of his life, and he wants the whole world to know it.
Now the fun part—the wedding!
Well, after the not-so-fun part of planning the wedding in between dealing with overbearing and impossible-to-please … impossible-to-please family members. With future mothers-in-law driving them both up a wall, the guest list growing out of control, and the wedding getting ever more complicated, Darren and Andreas have to wonder if they’re in over their heads.
But they’re going to make it to the altar if it kills them . . . and at this rate, it just might.

I enjoyed this book. This is a good conclusion to Andreas and Darren’s story. I liked that they decided to go with the wedding they actually wanted instead of trying to please Darren’s mum Jessica. Man, Andreas mum is a complete an utter bi*ch to everyone but Erin seemed to bore the brunt of it. It’s totally understandable that Andreas hasn’t mentioned them in previous books. I loved it when Darren had, had enough of her bullsh*t and told her what he though of her. I’d recommend this book, series and author.
This was a lovely conclusion to Darren and Andreas love story. It was fluffier than I expected but overall cute and funny read. The whole wedding planning debacle was a bit over the top but I loved Darren when he stood up for everyone and told Andreas’ mother off. That was my fave scene! The rest was sweet. I loved their wedding vows, it was all very romantic, both men got their happy ever after. So I will say goodbye. It has been fun!
Romantic Behavior was such a bittersweet book for me. So happy to see Andreas and Darren get their HEA. And not just any HEA, they are getting MARRIED! It’s humor and drama rolled into a stress-filled package. O.o
Wedding plans, the guys are in over their heads on this one. But first Andreas must propose. And he does it in his typical Andreas style. Equally funny, Darren thinks they can just elope. SNORTS! Darren have you met your mother! The whole book is like this. Moments of serious wedding planning mixed with clashing heads followed by the same thing every couple planning a wedding say. “We should have eloped!”
First, they have to survive the wedding dry run, otherwise known as the engagement party. Let’s get the families together because what could possibly go wrong there?! Oh Em Gee! Of all the books I will read this year, Andreas and Darren engagement party will be the one that I will wake up in the middle of the night, remember and start laughing…again. There always has to be at least one difficult person and in this case, it is Andreas’ mother. Her antics, well let’s just say, I personally would move her into the uninvited list pronto! “Can we eloped now!”
As I said, this is a bittersweet story for me. Why? Because it’s the final book in the Bad Behavior series. No more mysteries to solve. No more danger and excitement. No more Darren and Andreas. No!!!! I love these guys. Reading how the worked out their partnership while working on the relationship made my day. The hardships they endured while solving cases, I am going to miss it. I know, I know, all good things must come to an end and Romantic Behavior was the perfect ending to a great series.

Veronica –
It was so good to spend some time with Andreas and Darren without them or someone they love being in grave danger, and with them both relatively injury free. They might be free of life-ending danger but there is still plenty of stress because they are planning their wedding. I enjoyed the wedding prep dramas because I remember what it was like, so I could relate to what the guys were going through.
This is such a romantic little novella. The type of romantic that had me crying happy tears. I assume this novella is our “and they lived happily ever after” but if the authors choose to write more adventures for Andreas and Darren, I’ll happily read them.
Sarah –
So, this is not what I was expecting from my two favourite badass cops. Where the first three books gave us complicated investigations, corrupt cops, and terrifying shootouts, this little novella gives us wedding planning.
I love this series and it has become an auto request for me – so I’ll admit that I only glanced at the title before requesting it. In hindsight, I probably should have skipped it. I’m not really a hearts and flowers romance reader and this gets pretty sappy. High on domestic bliss, even Andreas loses his attitude and starts planning colours and guest lists.
There isn’t even a police investigation for distraction here. And very little heat. Darren and Andreas get so busy with wedding planning that they can’t find time for sex.
Readers who wanted more romance from these two will be happy. There are some funny scenes and some charming moments. Andreas’ mother is a delightful villain and his ex-wife has some brilliant lines.
Personally, I love the grit, the action, and the snark in these books and a story exclusively about wedding preparations really didn’t do it for me.
