I thought that this one was fun. This book has been on my radar since it was first published. The cover redesign grabbed my attention again so I decided to move this book to the top of my tbr pile. Reed and Darcy were great together and I loved the chemistry that they shared. I thought that parts of the book were rather funny and had a really good time with it in the end. I am so glad that I finally got around to giving this book a try.

Reed is at the top of the list on the Bad Bachelors app. This is an app where women can rate the men they date and Reed has an abundance of negative reviews. This has had an impact on not only his dating life but his professional life as well. Darcy is a tattooed librarian that almost made it down the aisle a year ago and is having trouble trusting someone again. Both Darcy and Reed have some family issues that they are dealing with which were very relatable. These two were great together. I wanted to see things work out for them and felt like they were meant to be.

I listened to the audiobook and thought that Kendall Taylor did a great job with this story. I thought that she portrayed a wide range of emotions through her reading. The character voices that she used in her narration were distinctive and believable. I feel that her narration added to my overall enjoyment of this story.

I would definitely recommend this book to others. The opening scene of the book was outstanding and grabbed my attention right away. It was easy to get behind these characters as they made their way to their happily ever after. I wouldn’t hesitate to read more of this author’s work in the future.

I received a copy of this book from Sourcebooks Casablanca. ( )

To start, I wasn't aware when I picked this up on NetGalley that it was a re-release of a book that initially published two years ago. That's fine, all well and good, but it would have been nice to know.
The premise is one that's been pretty thoroughly explored in romance since then: an app to rate men on the dating scene. Predictably, everyone learns that anonymous ratings can be negatively influenced by people with ulterior motives or grudges.
This would have been fine if the hero wasn't a rich guy. It's really hard to feel bad for rich people right now, even if they have an ill, stubborn father. The father very much felt like a prop to humanize the hero, who would have otherwise been unlikeable.
The librarian heroine was great and I had hoped that my like of her would carry me through, but it didn't.

I suspect that if you haven't already read three of these "rate the date" books, you'll like this one, but I've read it too many times and got bored. (This isn't fair to the book, surely, since it was originally published before the others I've read.) ( )

This book has a librarian. How could I not read it? I liked Darcy and Reed, but I felt like there was a little more the book could have gone into, like Darcy's father perhaps. But other than that, I enjoyed the writing, even if London's Australianness came out a little jarringly a few times. ( )

I enjoyed but I always wish that we didn't have a man-ho I mean please, please can someone not give me a guy that just sleeps around, is it too much to ask or am I just being unrealistic? Could be..Anywho I have read a fair amount of Stefanie London since I tend to enjoy her, not always but a good amount so I see one of her books and I tend to request and I am glad that I got this one I did laugh. So we meet Darcy and I liked her she was funny and didn't tend to put up with crap and my favorite loved to read (that is so me) so here is this bad ass librarian about to get married when she yup catches her dirt bag of a fiance cheating on her (god I hate that) anywho so it has been a while now and her friends think it is about time for her to get out there and what better way than on an app. So she does and ends up meeting Reed. Reed is not getting very good reviews on this app and he was taking it pretty hard which would surprise you seeing that he seemed so sure of himself. So here comes this hot guy that she recognized from the app and supposedly there to help with her PR problems, of course she is going to dislike him from the get go, but as she spends time with him she realizes that he does not seem the way she expected, there was so much more to the story..So grab a copy and find out what they were.

Bad Bachelor (Bad Bachelors #1) by Stefanie London  
Vulnerability makes one an easy target for hurt. Yet, it's in the most vulnerable moments that we truly find our strength. Ms. London takes that wisdom and pens a multipurpose heartbreaker Bad Bachelor finds humour in some dark places, but it takes aim at more than the libido and the funny bone. Reed and Darcy speak to the heart. Their's is a journey of insecurities, prejudgments and disappointments that have conditioned them into the hard cases they've become. A ridiculous app and a little community service are a nuisance for the tattooed librarian with a chip on her shoulder and the heartbreaker playboy with a rep for being bad. Maybe being BAD is the beginning of something good. ( )
