Falling for the Bad Boy

Can a good girl change a bad boy? Melody March is the youngest of the March girls, and the most innocent. She has always played by the rules and done what her parents and others have expected from her. She is just that good. Then there is Nick. He is the opposite. He is the family black sheep, the rebel, the one who plays by his own rules. He has never been known to be one to have a real relationship. No one knew about Sarah Beth, the good girl that Nick dated for more than a week. The good girl that broke his heart when she went back to her old fling leaving poor Nick heart broken and untrustworthy of good girls and long term relationships. Yep, girls that didn't want a relationship were a lot safer for Nick by far. So when Nick finds himself thinking about Melody 24/7, he knows that his heart just can't take it. As much as he tries to deny his attraction and desire for Melody, he just can't stop thinking about that kiss and how much he wants to do more with Melody. Melody knows that Nick is the bad boy that she should stay away from. The pull and excitement she feels when she is around him is one she has never felt before in her life. She is at the point in her life where she wants to feel alive by going against everything everyone expects her to do and be and do what feels right for her. Nick, he makes her feel alive. He is the one she desires and will stop at nothing to get him to want her back. It isn't hard for Nick to not notice Melody. Not only is she sweet as candy, but she has a body and a spirit he can't dismiss. As much as he tries to fight it, Melody's persistence finally break down his walls. Do the bad boy and good girl have a chance to make it? Can Nick convince his and Melody's family that he is a changed man and he can make Melody happy? Will Melody finally put her foot down and go against her family for a man she feels is the one for her? I Love Melody and Nick. They complement each other, bringing a balance among them that makes them better versions of themselves. Well written Lili Valente. This is a great addition to the Bliss River series.

We’ve already met Melody and bad boy Nick in previous books. Melody is the youngest of 3 girls with very straight laced parents. Nick comes from a big family but he is the black sheep, well kind of. They decide to try dating and hiding it but when your siblings are married to each other it’s kind of hard. Melody and Nick find themselves in a whole lot of trouble always. It’s hilarious most of the time and lots of love. I loved the book!

Melody and Nick’s opposites attract story was good, I confess it wasn’t my favorite of the series. Insta-love stories generally are hit or miss for me, and while this was done really well, I felt their story was rushed. I wanted them to have a longer courtship on the page, because they were just so fun. I enjoyed watching Melody’s growth as a person, as well as part of a couple. I didn’t really see Nick as a bad boy...we hear more about his supposed misdeeds than experience them. As a couple, they didn’t face the resistance that Lark and Mason or Aria and Nash did, especially from Bob March, the girls father. But to me, that was a good thing because I seriously hated that man! But a little more family drama would have been interesting to watch them overcome. Overall, I liked the book, but I think a Melody and Nick got a bit shortchanged as far as a rich, memorable storyline goes.

I love this series so much!! I listened to this audiobook and let me just say that Connor Crais has a very sexy voice and is perfect as Nick and Lili Valente is so amazing as Melody. They bring these characters to life in wonderful ways and make an already fantastic book that much better with their voice acting talent! The story itself is such a sweet one with a slow burn that really worked for this couple. It has all the other good stuff I crave and love in a romance. This was a very, very enjoyable listen. I absolutely loved it!! Finally the youngest March sister seeks her own happily ever after. Melody has been crushing on Nick Geary, her sister Arya’s husband Nash’s brother, since he rolled into town a couple of months ago. He has a bit of a bad boy persona and that is very attractive to Melody but she is also very inexperienced as the title states. It takes a little while before Nick allows himself to be with her though because he doesn’t think he deserves her. But when something happens one night driving them together, he is finally unable to resist her. He wants to take things very slow though which is as adorable as it is honorable. He sure says the sweetest things that make me totally swoon. I absolutely adore these two together!!! They are just the sweetest couple! But just when things seem to be going perfectly something else happens and then misunderstandings, that were not helped at all by her family, nearly tear them apart and it was rough going there for a little bit. Luckily not too long though since Melody takes no crap! She is such a spitfire!! I was so happy she confronted Nick and fixed everything! This was a happily ever after that I really needed! What a perfect epilogue! I absolutely loved it! And the bonus short story at the very end-The Love Bug-was awesome!!! I can't say who it's about though.

Virgin Seeks Bad Boy is so swoonworthy! Besides having tattoos, Nick didn’t really seem like much of a bad boy. He was basically a teddy bear. A super sexy teddy bear. And I loved Melody too. She was smart and down-to-earth, but could also be passionate and adventurous. I loved her attitude about her faith because it basically matches mine. The two of them were fire together. The chemistry was off the charts. Things moved very quickly between them emotionally, but there wasn’t nearly enough steamy goodness. Nick may have been a little too chivalrous. I’ve been on the hunt for a fierce, stereotype-breaking heroine, so Kitty immediately caught my interest. I’m so glad the Audible version has the bonus short story about her. I loved their story almost as much as Melody and Nick’s.

Virgin Seeks Bad Boy is a sweet story of opposites attract. Melody March has always been the good girl. Nick Geary is the quintessential bad boy. But from the moment they met, they’ve brought feelings out of each other that they never before experienced making Melody and Nick realize they are a perfect match. This is a really sweet romance and perfect addition to this series.
