Goodreads Description
Shayla Perkins isn’t the kind of girl who makes the same mistake twice, especially when it comes to Sean “Stitch” Molina. So when he gives her the world’s biggest rejection, that’s it—she’s done. Until the sexy, silent, unavailable Sean makes Shay a very personal offer. Of course, it still doesn’t mean he’s interested in her. Or does it?
Sean has done things in life. Bad things. And he’s paid the price. All he wants now is to make up for his past by doing good in the present. And no one deserves more good than Shay. Beautiful on the inside and out, Shay is the kind of woman who should be cared for and protected—especially from a man like Sean. He’s tried to keep his feelings for her in check, but a single, reckless impulse pulls them closer than ever before.
Soon the two are sharing their biggest dreams and satisfying their deepest desires. But what will happen if the only way to truly give one another want they want most . . . is to let each other go?
My Thoughts
Bad for You is the third book in the Dirty Deeds series. Although it's part of a series this book, as well as the others, can be read as a standalone. Bad for You is told in dual perspective following Sean and Shayla. At the beginning of the story the two aren't speaking but they still see each other because they work together. After something happens in Shayla's family, Sean offers to help her and the story really takes off from there.
Shay and Sean come from completely different backgrounds. As we move through the story we find out more about Sean's past and his life growing up. I don't think my heart ever broke so much for a character. The more that was revealed about Sean, the more it was understood why he did the things he did throughout his life and why he rejected Shayla before.
It was nice to see Sean and Shayla rekindle their friendship once he offers to help her. I also appreciate how when their relationship began to progress past friendship they didn't automatically get together. While slow at times it made sense to see Sean struggle opening up and learning to let himself be loved. Sean has a lot of trauma to work through but because he now has the motivation to move forward things can only get better for him. I do wish I could have seen a look at how things changed for them a little into the future. Besides that, Bad for You absolutely stole my heart!
