Review:

The Bad Boys’ Reluctant Woman is book 2 in the Law Castle Bad Boys series, but I have not read book one. I was able to follow along with no problem, but I have no way of knowing if I would have rated higher had there been back story available in book one for these characters. It was hard to have an emotional connection with the characters, it almost happened, but not quite. I don’t see the allure of Zoe to these crazy hot men that constantly have women falling all over them. The hard to get may be fun for a while, but she really put up a wall of resistance. With the three men not having any sexual contact with each other I can’t fathom how Zoe would it for them. That said, Sam Crescent writes good sex! When it came down to it, it was good. The skimming of details during the fast forward of time was irritating. I would have liked to have read through the one on one action between Zoe and each guy. As it seems I am always saying with a Sam Crescent review…the idea is great, the execution not so much.
