Bad Boys Gone Good Book 1

Doctor Mollie Vickers loves the tight-knit community of her tiny Oregon town. But she’s not a fan of the limited dating options. Sleep with a guy who tried to copy off her in junior high? Pass. Mollie’s sex life is flatlining… until a deliciously handsome man she’s never seen before stops to help her fix a flat tire.

As an ex-mobster, Rafe Maguire’s no saint. But he’s trying to turn over a new leaf. Although he probably shouldn’t kiss the hot doctor on the side of the highway. Or suggest a no-strings fling with a woman he has no business pursuing. Rafe’s life is too complicated for love—his new WITSEC-provided identity doesn’t fit him at all and there’s a U.S. Marshal watching his every move. He can’t tell Mollie the truth… but their chemistry is scorching and being good doesn’t mean he can’t be a little bad.

Mollie can’t resist the guy who looks rough, talks tough, and is loyal to the bone. But it’s obvious Rafe is keeping secrets. When the truth comes out, Mollie must decide if she could ever love an ex-mobster… or if this bad boy has truly gone good.

I was so excited to start this book because I love discovering new authors and also because this blurb sounded amazing. I wasn't wrong about it, I loved this story. Rafe Maguire is on the run from his past with the Mob when he meets Mollie Vickers, a small town Doctor that he thinks is too pure for him. But that doesn't keep him away from the alluring Doctor.

I'm actually mad at myself for not reading anything from Christi Barth before this. This book was very well written and had that small-town charm mixed with some intrigue. The overall feel of the book was like a sweet contemporary yet I loved those darker parts that Rafe's character added. He had a complexity about him with his inner struggle of trying to be good yet feeling like he wasn't worth anything good in life because of his past. It really drew me to his character and I loved getting to see how that struggle played out when he was around Mollie.

I can already tell this is going to be an amazing series and can't wait to get more of these brothers. Definitely a recommended read from me.
