*USA Today bestseller* Bestselling author Elle Kennedy returns to Avalon Bay in this sexy second chance story about two exes who can't stay away from each other, Bad Girl Reputation. When former bad girl Genevieve West returns home for her mother’s funeral, she’s prepared to keep her distance from her ex-boyfriend, Evan Hartley. Their history is rife with turbulence. And passion. A heck of a lot of passion...which she’s trying desperately to forget. But it’s impossible not to run into Evan in the small coastal town where they once ran wild. And the moment she sees her gorgeous ex again, it’s clear to Gen that Evan is still as unruly, sexy, and irresistible as ever. This time around, however, she’s resolved to walk a new path. No more partying. No more foolish mistakes. Her plan is to temporarily remain in town to help her father run his business, but the second he finds somebody else, she’s out of there. Evan has other ideas. He knows they can be good together, but he just has to convince Genevieve of that, even if it means turning over a new leaf himself. But can a bad reputation ever truly be shed? Do second chances really work? Genevieve and Evan are about to find out.

Evan was one of my favourite characters in Good Girl Complex so I was super excited to start this and read more about him.
“Seriously, though. I keep waiting for the grief to hit, but it doesn't come.”
This was a quote that I had to include here because it really hit me. Grief is such a strange thing and it affects everyone in different ways.
“I can't be responsible for your happiness, Evan. I can barely account for myself.”
I think this is an important quote to highlight. You should never allow someone to feel responsible for your happiness or well-being. It's not healthy for either parties involved. Be happy for you.
I have to admit that I laughed multiple times reading this. The banter and overall things that Evan would say had me giggling on numerous occasions.
“You're going to get sick of how much I love you. Totally disgusted with it.”“I'll take that bet.”
I loved this. I am not afraid to admit that I am an absolute sucker for predictable rom coms when they are like this.

Spoiler-Free Review:
If you've been here for a bit, or if you even scroll my feed, it's no secret that I love Elle Kennedy! This is my sixteenth book that I've read written by her, and they're all just so good. She's become one of my favorite auto-buy authors, and her books are some of my favorite comfort reads and places to revisit. With all of that being said, this book was no exception! Bad Girl Reputation follows the story of Genevieve and Evan. Evan is Cooper's twin brother (from Good Girl Complex), and Genevieve is his ex girlfriend. After having to return home for a funeral, the two reconnect and realize the sparks are still there. This book follows their journey trying to repair their bad reputations both as a couple and individually, and I absolutely ate it up! There is classic Elle Kennedy tension and spice throughout the book. I fell in love with how Evan cared for Genevieve and how he grew as a character. This is the second installment in the Avalon Bay series, and have you seen the cover for book 3, The Summer Girl because
1,5 ⭑
leider ist es für mich von Anfang bis ende schrecklich gewesen. ich habe es auch nur wegen meiner Liebe zu Elle Kennedy beendet sonst hätte ich bestimmt aufgegeben.
Charaktere: unreif, vulgär und total nervig
Beziehung:. toxisch und für mich ohne jegliche Chemie
Setting: einer der wenigen Aspekte den ich mochte
Story: schlecht und total viel unnötiges bla bla
Ende: das gute -> es war endlich vorbei. Sonst einfach nur gruselig
Ich denke man merkt wie schrecklich ich es fand und das macht mich echt traurig, weil ich die Autorin echt liebe. Aber dieses Buch war echt nichts für mich. egal, ganz schnell vergessen und weiter
