BAD APPLE BY ELLE KENNEDY

TITLE: Bad Apple

AUTHOR: Elle Kennedy

GENRE: Romance

PUBLICATION: August 13th, 2019

Synopsis

A flirty standalone novel* from New York Times and international bestselling author Elle Kennedy!

One night with him will change her life...

Between her waitressing job, volunteer work, and college classes, there are never enough hours in Maggie Reilly’s day. Especially not for a relationship. Luckily, she’s got the perfect arrangement: a lover she meets three or four times a year. But when she shows up at the hotel expecting to hop into bed with one man, she accidentally ends up with another—Ben Barrett, Hollywood’s most notorious bad boy.

Ben, determined to lay low after another scandal, just wants some much-needed sleep. What he gets is a scorching make-out session with a gorgeous, naked redhead. He won’t accept her apology, but what he will accept is a place to hide out…and if there’s some hot, no-strings sex involved, why the heck not?

But Ben soon discovers that one week with his sassy, bed-hopping waitress is definitely not enough. He wants more. A lot more.

Now he needs to convince relationship-averse Maggie that a bad boy might be oh so good for her—and the best thing that’s ever happened to both of them.

* Previously published in 2008, Bad Apple (formerly Midnight Encounters) features almost entirely new content, including a point-of-view switch. Enjoy this new version of an old favorite!

My Review

'BAD APPLE:'
Is a standalone romance novel by Elle Kennedy. Previously published as 'Midnight Encounters' it's had a whole new makeover with complete new content added.

I never read the previous released version of this so this was a complete new read for me, what can I say!?! Other than how much I really enjoyed this one!!
The giggles, the swoony moments, the characters themselves, all made for a riveting read, this was such a fun story to get lost in. Once started I was hooked!! This author is such an amazing story teller, each book she releases always has me coming back for more.

Maggie, was such a relatable character, a hardworking sassy female, free time never existed in her life, from her waitressing job, to studying and her volunteering work doesn't leave much time left over for anything else in her life which is why she's happy with her two time arrangement she has with Tony. He flies in twice a year, they hook up and go their separate ways. No emotional attachments and no awkward moments afterwards.

Ben, is Hollywoods burnt out action movie star with a bad boy image that's stuck to him. But don't be deceived Ben Barrett is such a likable character.

So imagine these two characters surprise when Maggie is expecting to meet up with Tony but accidently meets Ben instead. The shock of it all had me giggling and falling under this authors spell straight away. Such a unique way to start us off with..

From start to finish the outside world ceased to exist. From the cover 🙌 🔥 🙌to the words within, I was in my happy place, the only gripe I have with this book is that I wish it was longer. I just wanted to spend more time with these two characters they were utterly perfect for each other, such a great story to get lost in!! Highly recommend!!
