GOOD GIRL

In this steamy novel from the USA Today bestselling author of Blurred Lines, country music’s favorite good girl hides away from the world—and finds herself bunking with a guy who makes her want to be a little bad.

Jenny Dawson moved to Nashville to write music, not get famous. But when her latest record goes double platinum, Jenny’s suddenly one of the town’s biggest stars—and the center of a tabloid scandal connecting her with a pop star she’s barely even met. With paparazzi tracking her every move, Jenny flees to a remote mansion in Louisiana to write her next album. The only hiccup is the unexpected presence of a brooding young caretaker named Noah, whose foul mouth and snap judgments lead to constant bickering—and serious heat.

Noah really should tell Jenny that he’s Preston Noah Maxwell Walcott, the owner of the estate where the feisty country singer has made her spoiled self at home. But the charade gives Noah a much-needed break from his own troubles, and before long, their verbal sparring is indistinguishable from foreplay. But as sizzling nights give way to quiet pillow talk, Noah begins to realize that Jenny’s almost as complicated as he is. To fit into each other’s lives, they’ll need the courage to face their problems together—before the outside world catches up to them.

My Review:
   This was such a quick and enjoyable read.  I laughed and swooned throughout the entire book!  Seriously, the perfect mix of fun, sweet and steam!  I immediately liked Jenny and this book was a rare instance in a contemporary romance where I never felt that she did something stupid or there was a miscommunication that led to conflict.  Noah, he did do something stupid but it was refreshing for the entire wrong to be on the guy in this book rather than just one massive miscommunication that resulted in drama.  I would say this was relatively free of drama as well.  I also loved and thought it was kind of cool that this book employed one of my favorite tropes in a unique way -- the "stranded" trope (usually in a cabin in the snow or on an island) but, here, they were both in this dilapidated mansion with only each other for company (largely).  There was definitely a little bit of enemies to lovers in the best possible way.  I'm not a big country music fan but this turned the stereotype on its head and I think you'd love this even more if you were a fan of country music.  Good Girl was my first Lauren Layne but it won't be my last!

Good Girl came out last week on May 17, 2016, and I definitely recommend this to fans of contemporary romance! 

"You're playing with fire, little girl," he says quietly.  "I'm not one of your toys, and I'm not interested in what you're offering."   

"I'm not offering anything," I retort, even though his words sting.  "I like my men more . . . refined."   

His grin calls my bluff.  "You sure about that?"   

I swallow.  lie. "Very." 

Noah steps closer.  "So you haven't been thinking about what I said earlier, about my tongue spending time in some more interesting places?" 

 I swallow but don't say anything.

His eyes rake over me.  "Playing dumb won't change the fact that you'll be thinking about my all night, princess.  You fingers will be a poor stand-in for my tongue, I can promise you that."
