THE REVERSE OF PERFECTION (BAD DECISIONS #2)

Dylan Royce, ex-teen pop star, needs a sexy image makeover. His first adult solo album came out under his perfect, white-washed persona and tanked. Joining a band equally famous for their music and their between-the-sheets escapades is only the start. He needs to get raunchy. Sleep with a different girl every night. But there’s only one woman he wants, and she still sees him as a goody two-shoes boy-bander. 

Ariel Watson is the publicist in charge of turning Dylan into the sex-god every woman dreams of doing. Frankly, she doesn’t see the appeal. Until one hot kiss changes her mind. Now she wants to keep him for herself--without losing her job. Or losing Dylan the legions of drooling fans she’s supposed to be building for him. 

Turning bad got Dylan the woman of his dreams. But how will he choose between her...or his career catapulting him back to superstar status?

I'm really enjoying the Bad Decisions series from Christi Barth. While The Reverse of Perfection is the second book in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone story. I found The Reverse of Perfection a fast-paced read.

I liked both Dylan and Ariel from the moment we met them. I liked that they both were in the process of re-starting their careers. The attraction between Dylan and Ariel was obvious from their very first meeting, and while I loved they acted on their attraction, I loved the focus was more on their careers than just hooking up. I did worry about the company Ariel was currently working for and if they had the same moral compass she had. They seemed to kick ethics to the curb and are willing to do anything to keep their clients in the news, even when it isn't the best way to get them in the news.

While I loved the chemistry between Dylan and Ariel, I liked they could talk about the dreams for their futures together and actually listened to what the other said. I found myself falling for Dylan more and more with each page. I liked Ariel, but wanted her to be stronger in her convictions on how she worked in the public relations business. While she messed up in a big way, she also fixed things in a big way too.


I look forward to the next book in the Bad Decisions series and getting to spend more time with the characters from the series. Ms. Barth has given her readers a fast-paced, fun and sexy story with The Reverse of Perfection.

THE OPPOSITE OF RIGHT (BAD DECISIONS #1)

Kylie Stafford has spent her whole life doing exactly what’s expected. The right major, the right sorority, the right guys, just like her mother and her sister before her. But when everything falls apart for her, Kylie wonders if doing everything right has been utterly wrong. There’s only one way to find out. 

She decides to try making all the wrong choices for three months. Hit on a tattoo-covered rock musician? Check. Go back to his dressing room for a hot hook-up against the wall? Gulp. Drop everything to be a roadie for him to binge on more of the best sex of her life? Maybe. Start falling for him despite her better judgment? Um….yeah. Figure out why doing everything that seems wrong feels so darn right?

Liza’s Review:

I've been a fan of Christi Barth for as long as I've been reading her books. I was super excited to get to read her new rock star book early. The Opposite of Right is a fun, sexy and super fast read. At 89 pages, I'd consider it a novella length book and I was able to read it pretty quickly. 

The Opposite of Right had me hooked from page one. Who doesn't dream of hooking up with a rock star at some point? I love that Kylie decides to make all the wrong decisions for a bit after everything falls apart from following the "right" path for so many years. I think the funniest thing to me was she didn't recognize Cam when she propositioned him for a kiss until after they had kissed. They had really great chemistry from the very beginning and I loved seeing them be able to extend their initial hook-up into something more. I loved all of the members of Riptide and found the dynamics between the men to be much like brothers than simply band mates. Much like brothers, Cam, Jones, and Jake sometimes don't see eye to eye and sadly Kylie is in the middle of a touchy situation between the band mates.

The Opposite of Right was a great start to the Bad Decisions series. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
