About this eBook

USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Lauren Layne brings all the unpredictable heat of Blurred Lines to an all-new cast of characters! Country music’s favorite good girl is hiding away from the world—only to find 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.

Ratings and reviews

This was a long time coming! I bought this book and (ducks behind a wall) forgot about it. I knew I wanted to read it but lost it in the 37 different reading apps on my phone. But with a new year, I discovered the hidden book. Good Girl is sweet and sassy. It has a prickly hot dude, some amazing friends, and a "whatever this is" story that will make you smile. It has two dogs (and I use the plural form loosely), a jerky liar- or two, and most importantly zip ties. Zip ties make the world go round!

While this one is a bit different from other Lauren Layne books, overall it was a very enjoyable read. I must say I did miss all the snarky banter I've come to love from LL books and what exactly was Noah/Preston's problem??? To keep it clean I'll just say he was quite the jerk. Anyway, back to the story - Jenny Dawson has finally made it big in Nashville. Unfortunately with that fame comes the unwanted paparazzi and the lie printed in the press . To escape the pressure and have some quiet time to write her next album Jenny rents a house in a remote location in Louisiana. That's where she meets the incredibly grumpy caretaker Noah. Too bad he has such an attitude because he is definitely hot! While these two clash from the very beginning there is an undeniable attraction between them. As things begin to really heat up between them, it becomes obvious to both of them that they will have to work to fit into each others lives. Noah hasn't been completely honest though and his secrets may come between them. Overall this is a fun feel good read that I would definitely recommend to everyone.

Ok, so it's a sappy romance novel. But I LOVE IT! The main characters, even the secondary characters are well developed. And I love how the author switched between perspectives. I can't say that there were any parts of this book that got boring or repetitive. The story is well-thought out (albeit predictable, but it's a romance novel).

In 2011 Lauren and her husband moved from Seattle to New York City, where she decided to pursue a full-time writing career. It took six months to get her first book deal (despite Lauren’s ardent assurances to her husband that it would take only three).

Lauren currently lives in Chicago with her husband and their spoiled Pomeranian.
