Dick: A Bad Boys Novel Paperback – April 19, 2016

I've read a couple of books by R.C. Stephens and have enjoyed each one, even though they were all vastly different. Dick: A Bad Boys Novel is again unlike anything I've read by her and very different from what I'm reading elsewhere. I love the way the characters' backstories intermingle with each other and the fact that it takes each of them a while to figure it out. Both the main characters have suffered loss and abandonment in their past. For Dixon that altered his entire life, and when it happened in his marriage, the walls he built around his heart were high and thick. For Eden, the abandonment never truly ended, also finding its way into her marriage. Dixon refuses to let a woman wreck his life again, however his manwhore status is legendary, thus his usual name, Dick because he is often one. He loves his kids without limit and proves to be a good friend to Eden, despite their underlying chemistry. His character is hot, sexy, fun, and loving to those who he considers family. The only bright part of his life was being adopted into his housekeeper's family and finding a brother in Ge. Ma is an wonderfully written character. She's loving and warm as well as speaking her mind when she thinks someone is screwing up. Eden's had a hard life too and thought her husband would rescue her from her past and the loss she felt at an early age. However, he is not the husband or father she'd hoped he'd be. A chance encounter and neither Eden or Dixon can forget the other. When Dick finds out Eden is his son's teacher, he is intrigued but puts her out of bounds because of his son. But fate and chemistry have other ideas for the couple. The road is more than bumpy for both Dick and Eden, but the end result may be more than either could have wished for.

This is the first book I have read by R.C. Stephens and I was not disappointed. I loved the hero and the heroine. They both showed great love and strength and made me believe in happily ever afters. I will be reading more books by this author😀

I absolutely love fairytales!!!! Dixon is lonely, insecure and a commitment phobe. Eden is lonely, broken and loveless. When these two get together sparks fly. I liked them and thought that they were misguided and afraid. Overall the book was intensely emotional and I'm glad I read it.

I liked this story. It had the mystery of both their pasts. The h's "reveal"wasn't that bad. I thought it would've been a lot worse. The H is a soft hearted "dick"...thus the name. He was brutally betrayed and is still suffering the effects.

Boy oh boy what a story!!! I absolutely loved this story of Eden and Dixon! Their personal inner turmoil just broke my heart! I was so glad when they found their HEA amongst each other. This book is, a must read! (By the way, I have found myself a new favorite author too!!

Finally a book I enjoyed from the beginning to the end.

This book was awesome, but I found it a bit short. I was looking forward to spending time with Eden and Dixon, and felt like it was over too soon.

The character development was great! Loved the story line. Couldn't put it down!

Hot hot hot book..... so much to say ideally enjoyed this book,characters,and story line.. would life a second book with theses characters
