Where Bad Boys are Ruined: An Opposites Attract Romance (The Good Girls Series Book 3)
Product ID: 114248256
I ate leftover cupcakes and cracked macarons for breakfast. I was ninety percent sure he simply ate up girls like me. I was covered in paint splatters, cake batter, and sweat the first time I met him. He was covered in badass tattoos and a smile that seemed to hold a secret I would never figure out. Rule number 1 was never, under any circumstances, fall for the man who I wrote my lease check to. So, I tucked him away in the “Fantasize Only” compartment of my brain and called it a day. But he didn’t make it easy. He was arrogant, funny, and the biggest flirt I had ever met. Most of the time, I didn’t know if I was just a game to him. If I didn’t know better, I’d say he was on a mission to ruin my life. And maybe my heart, too. Review: Holy. Hello. Kitty! - 6 Stars Holy. Hello. Kitty! Tatted. Pierced. Bad boy. Ladies and gents, say hello to my newest Holly Renee obsession: Brandon. He’s one h*** of a wild ride and you’re going to love him. Brandon’s fun, easy going, playful, flirty, great sense of humor, loving, definitely cocky and oh so addicting. Mix all that with his heart of gold and I was swept clear off my feet. I’m talking butterflies galore! I fell so hard for this man and I couldn’t seem to get enough of him. So much so I immediately ended up rereading his book, along with Parker and Mason’s. Please, Holly Renee, keep writing f*** hot guys. Any who, Charlie. Charlie. Charlie. *sigh* She was a doll, with the sweetest personality. I really loved her. However, there were times I wasn’t so sure if Charlie was the right girl for Brandon, but she totally was. It was just her indecision drove me a little crazy. Okay, that’s a lie. It drove me absolutely nuts! I wanted to scream at her to get with the damn program. Everyone knew Brandon was head over heels for her, yet she still went on a few dates with David (no kisses or other physical actions were ever exchanged). Not to mention, it was beyond obvious that she was all about Brandon. Why fight that for some lame a** (in my opinion) guy?! Thank god, she finally got over whatever the h*** that was with David because Brandon was the icing to Charlie's cupcake. God, these two! They were everything together. Perfect. The best kind of hero and heroine. When they were together it was so damn hard to stop smiling. Between their entertaining and affectionate friendship and sizzling chemistry, they were the cat’s pajamas. And the best part about their relationship? When there was conflict both characters were quick to confront and apologize. They didn’t blow it out of proportion. They didn’t let it linger for more than a few days and they were grownups about it. Absolutely refreshing. On top of all that amazingness, I loved that we got to spend more time with Parker and Livy, and Mason and Stacey. I’m not sure if there are any more books slated for this series, but I sure hope so. I will always, always need more of this trio of friends, especially Brandon. Where Bad Boys are Ruined is by far my favorite book in this series. And for so many, many different reasons this lighthearted romance has made it onto my 6 star shelf. I really hope you love it as much as I do! Thank you, Holly Renee, for this complimentary copy of Where Bad Boys are Ruined. Review: Opposites Attract - Opposites attract is the theme of Where Bad Boys Are Ruined, and this was the perfect book to show case this type of relationship. Sweet and innocent bakery owner and a player, never had a relationship, tattoo shop owner meet, what do you get? An angsty will they or won't they romance.From the moment Charlie meets Brandon, she's instantly attracted, and flustered by him, she doesn't know what to do with the tatted up guy who owns the tattoo shop next to her and who she's renting the space to open her bakery from, and the feeling is mutual for Brandon as well. The two of them have instant chemistry, but honestly don't know what to do with it. Their flirting with one another is adorable, and sweet, and hot all at the same time, but when Livy and Staci try to hook Charlie up with another friend of theirs things definitely get interesting.Watching these two try to figure out their feelings for one another, and how to handle those feelings was definitely interesting. Especially for Brandon since he's never really wanted a relationship or wanted to date someone. When he agrees to go out on all of these group outings and sees Charlie with someone else, something flips inside of him, and it's hilarious watching this caveman side of him come out. Granted, it does cause some issues with him and Charlie but truth be told the two of them can't stay away from one another, so it was inevitable. This story was really great, but at the same time, it didn't last long enough for me. I loved watching Brandon and Charlie's relationship form, but I wanted more, it seemed to just go by too fast for me. I kept seeing percentage on my kindle of what was left dwindling and I was like "NO I NEED MORE!", but overall this was a really good story of opposites attract, as well as friendships, especially for those of you who have read the previous stand-alones in this series, since you get to catch up with Mason, Parker, Livy and Staci as well. I do recommend this book, I just wish we would have gotten more.

Final Score - 5 Stars!
Where Bad Boys are Ruined the third book in the Good Girls series and they say that the best is often saved for last last ... and they are often right. Especially if they are talk about this one. Best. RomCom. Ever!!! This book had me both laughing and crying in hysterics - no small feet, let me tell ya! I hate that the series is at an end - I'm gonna miss the hell outta my girl - but I've got to say, if you're gonna go ... go with smile. And I certainly did. I have loved every moment we had with this group of friends, I've truly felt like I've been hanging out with my besties. These friendships are real and inviting and we quite frankly need to see more of them in real life. They knew each other, their ins and outs, likes and dislike, and that just endears them to me all the more. The previous books had more angst, conflict, and emotional turmoil, but this one was such a light read where friendship really was the center stage. But of course it still had plenty of sexy times, fun, and witty banter. So come join Charlie, Brandon and the gang for last hoorah. I guarantee you wont be disappointed in this delicious if not sweet opposites attract romcom. *** I received an exclusive ARC of this book ***

Easy read
It was a good, pallet cleanser of a book. It was a very happy go lucky kind of book. I read it in one sitting.

Now that was a cute book!
It's so hard to decide which book of the series I liked best, but it might be this one?! I love a book with humor, and this one nails it! Where Bad Boys Are Ruined was cute from start to finish. I'm literally still smiling. This one is definitely a feel-good book, and I laughed several times. I'm glad that you see a lot of each of the characters from the previous books, too, because Livy and Staci are seriously fun. Like I wish I had those two as real-life besties lol This series was just what I needed. Each book is around 200 pages, and you'll be hooked from beginning to end. Would 100% recommend!

Such a cute, fun read
Charlie and Brandon are like the two people who shouldn't work as a couple but somehow just do. Just like with the other two books in this series, Holly Renee could've found something else to add to this story to make it 100 pages longer and I would've been very happy. Again, like the others, these characters just mesh together so well, and finally seeing Brandon as something other than the 5th wheel was a treat to behold!

Give me more Brandon <3
I love this series... really truly LOVE it. Ever since I read the first one I've been hooked. Everything about this couple was easy to fall in love with. I loved Charlie's internal dialogues. She was quirky, funny and perfect for bad boy Brandon. I liked Brandon's personality. He was funny and sweet when it was needed. I was really enjoying myself while reading how much he struggled with new to him feelings (like jealousy) he had since meeting Charlie. And it was fun to see the past characters trying to help out their friends. Another great book by Holly Renee. ***Review copy requested and reviewed on behalf of OMGReads Blog***

got a sweet tooth?
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. After reading the first two books, I had to have Brandon's story. This book was many things for me. A little sweet. A little funny. A little swoon-worthy. A little hot. I was already a little in love with Brandon after the first book in this series. How could you not be? I knew I wanted to see him fall for a woman so bad. I just wasn't sure how that would happen. One bad boy tattoo artist plus a sweet baker, how could that not be a match in heaven? This book was such a great, quick ride. The only fall back for me is I wanted a little more with these characters. It went too quick for me. I needed to feel their connection a little more. Other than that, I enjoyed this story. If you are looking for a series that isn't too heavy or too light, this whole series is something you should be reading. I devoured each one of them.

Where Bad Boys are Ruined
Charlie and Brandon are my favourite I love them the constant banter between them is just amazing well after Charlie got over her shyness. Charlie fancies the pants off Brandon but refues to believe they can be anything because of his playboy reputation so Charlie agrees to date someone else set up of course by Staci and Livy. Brandon ends up super jealous and ends up sabotaging her 2nd date by ruining the end of night kiss. Throw in loads of sexual tension more than a few misunderstandings and a jealous ex fling and of course nothing is straight forward!! What a fantastic series from Holly Renee this was my 1st series from this author but definitely not the last. Definitely recommend author book and series.

Cute
Probably one of the most realistic type love stories I’ve read in awhile. Low in angst and drama and high in the cute heartwarming feels. Brandon the sexy tattoo artist who’s got a bit of a name as a player meets quirky self conscious Charlie. Charlie has been dreaming of opening her own bakery for years and now her dreams are coming true but if it wasn’t for the irritatingly handsome man next door she could solely focus on her dream. Loved their connection, Brandon’s thoughtfulness was heartwarming while Charlie’s naïveté was endearing. Can be seen as a little cheesy at times but it’s cuteness and getting to see Livy, Stacy, Parker and Mason was nice. This is technically a standalone however I think reading them in order will enhance the reading experience.

Opposites attract
Following Brandon this is an interconnected standalone. I really enjoyed the character of Charlie who was so different to the other two female characters. Brandon is 🔥 A light and easy read which is sometimes just what you need!
