About the Book:
Even when you know better, sometimes it’s simply too tempting…
Hospital work isn’t for the faint of heart. Becca Dillon knows that firsthand, having worked as a medical assistant in the cardiac unit at Rutherford Hospital for longer than she cares to think about. What she does care to think about is having fun, gossip, and … guys. Her favorite of the three. And why stick to one, when you can sample them all?
That’s exactly her plan when a workplace crush on a mysterious bad-boy orderly unexpectedly takes a very steamy turn. But Vincent DeMarco turns out to be nothing like she expected, and before she knows it, she’s falling hard and fast. She wants him in ways she’s never wanted anyone before, but there’s something he’s keeping from her. Something that’s holding him back. And Becca is going to find out what.
Even though she knows that bad boys don’t make good boyfriends, he seems like he might be so much more. Will her quest unlock the truth behind who he really is? Or will it end their relationship for good? Either way, ready or not, Becca’s world is about to change.
My Review:
Becca is not the commitment type. She's happy to have fun, a fling, and a goodbye. All that changes the day she meets Vincent, a new orderly at the hospital at which Becca also works. He's distant, doesn't acknowledge her except on his terms, and leaves her wanting more. When they finally agree to try dating, Becca discovers he's harboring a secret; one that could very well could come between them.
Despite Vincent's standoffish personality, he and Becca are drawn to one another. I enjoyed their journey toward romance. Becca is a strong, independent character who hides her loneliness and insecurity behind bravado. I cheered for her when she dropped her guard and let Vincent into her heart. Vincent is a strong character with incidents and events in his past that he's trying to protect and keep quiet. Becca's discovery of one of Vincent's secrets brings both tragedy and joy - but it may signal the end of something between them before it even began.
This is my first experience with Melanie A. Smith and it won't be my last. As soon as I finished Bad Boys Don't Make Good Boyfriends, I went straight to Amazon and bought Never Date a Doctor, book 1, in the Life Lessons series. The author's writing style is conversational and easy to follow. The book is so engaging and beautifully written I suddenly found myself at the end of Becca and Vincent's story.
I'm excited to go back and read book 1 and to read book 3 upon its release.
I was provided a copy of this book to review.
