Where Bad Boys are Ruined is the third and final book in a complete trilogy of interconnected standalone books called "Good Girls."
We actually meet the MMC in the first and second book of this series, so it was fun to finally get his story.
Quick details on this book:
🖤 Contemporary romance
🖤 1st person, dual POV
🖤 Small town romance
🖤 Forced proximity
🖤 Opposites attract
🖤 He falls first
What I enjoyed (similar to the first two books):
👉 Holly Renee's writing style is always 10/10
👉 Quick, bingeable book
👉 Dynamic between Charlie and Brandon
👉 Brandon's obsession with Charlie's freckles (as someone with freckles, I ate it up)
What could have been better:
👉 Like the first two books, this is a short book and the storyline and character development doesn't go super in depth
👉 Brandon's character felt a bit inconsistent from his portrayal in the first and second books—I thought he was going to be the jokester but he was presented more as the reformed bad boy
👉 I was a bit tired of the miscommunication trope by the end of the book
