About this eBook

Everybody's talking about the hot new app rating New York's most eligible bachelors. But why focus on Prince Charming when you can read the latest dirt on the lowest-ranked "Bad Bachelors"—NYC's most notorious bad boys.

He says...

If one more person mentions Bad Bachelors to me, someone's gonna get hurt. Who thought this app would be a good idea? Like dating isn't hard enough without being critiqued for every little misstep. My name is Reed McMahon and I'm supposedly a PR whiz and "image fixer," but now I need some help cleaning up my own image.

She says...

When Reed strolls into my workplace offering to help save the struggling library, I'm not buying his story. I'm Darcy Greer, a no-nonsense Brooklynite who knows Reed is exactly the kind of guy to be avoided. I've seen the app, and Bad Bachelor #1 has no place in my life. However, the library does need his help, and this guy needs to make some serious amends, so who am I to stop him? If only he didn't work so hard to find redemption...

"Delightfully fresh. Stefanie London delivers all the feels in this exceptional opposites-attract love story. Bad Bachelor is an absolute must-read."—LAUREN LAYNE, New York Times bestselling author

"Original, witty, and sexy. My #1 romance read of the year!"—JENNIFER BLACKWOOD, USA Today bestselling author

Ratings and reviews

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.

As this was the author's first single title novel after all previous stories being novellas or category romance, it took a bit longer to read than her past stories. This was a good thing though as it allowed for more story development. As soon as the name of the Bad Bachelors app owner/head writer was mentioned I guessed accurately who it was. While that part wasn't a surprose to me, it took right until very near the end to find out why the hero Reed had such a strong dislike of libraries and it was a surprise. I do like that the way Reed's feelings on libraries were written that it was a reminder that libraries still have a place even with the prevalence of ebooks and the internet. I had actually made a comment while reading about wanting to know why Reed had such an intense dislike of libraries. Prior to reading the book, I thought the idea of the app that the series will revolve around sounded super beneficial but after reading this book I realise that that type of platform is open enough to abuse to be less helpful than it sounds. I don't know how I'm going to be patient waiting for the second book of the series Bad Reputation to release.

Stefanie London has stepped up her game with this series. Loved the hilarious & touching & rocky road to happily ever after, sometimes the past makes it hard to live in the present! Clever commentary on contemporary issues of social media & the anonymity offered by the internet, once again showing you can have heat, heart & intelligence in romance - can't wait for Book 2!
