About this ebook

Let the battle of the sexes begin… He’s hot, wild, unpredictable, untamable, and her best friend’s older brother.

Colton Brody is everything a good girl like Phoebe Page should avoid. But since her sister Kelly’s death, Phoebe isn’t as worried about being good as she used to be. She wants to live big with no regrets, the way Kelly did, and she intends to start with having a top secret, super steamy, no-strings-attached holiday fling with the man she’s crushed on her entire life.

What could go wrong?

Except everything?

Wounded in action and discharged without a chance to prove himself, all Colton cares about is getting back into the Marine Corps where he belongs. He will not get sucked into small town drama, will not take that promotion at the firehouse, and certainly won’t fall in love with his little sister’s best friend. He’s down for friends-with-benefits, nothing more, and plans to leave town long before quirky, bossy, cute-as-a-button Phoebe can get under his skin.

He is in control.

At least until a certain sexy brunette turns his world upside down.

It isn’t long before Colton finds himself buying flowers, talking feelings, and wishing Phoebe wanted more than another night of hot, no-holds-barred sex. Because when he’s with Phoebe even hot and dirty feels like making love.

Now Colton will have to decide what’s worth fighting for—the dreams a plane crash stole from him or the dream he’s holding in his arms.

WARNING: Good Girl vs. Bad Boy contains a mix of heart-warming romance, quirky characters, laugh out loud moments, and blisteringly hot banging. If you don’t like hot sex, laughter, mentions of humping unicorns, turkey bowling, off-beat town rituals, or graphic descriptions of artisanal pancakes, steer clear.

Ratings and reviews

Good Girl VS. Bad Boy is book 1 in Jessie Evans new Brody Brothers series. This is an outstandingly entertaining introduction to the characters of Lover’s Leap, Colorado and it will take you from literally laughing out loud to moments that will leave you with tears welling up in your eyes or biting your nails. There are so many great characters here and with such a capturing storyline it didn't take me long to feel like I was becoming part of a new family. Phoebe grew up in a small town and has always had a crush on Colton, her best friend’s older brother. But there have always been problems or obstacles including her propensity for mishaps and bad luck which he always seemed to be around to witness. When Phoebe returns home after the death of her sister her luck hasn’t changed, and when she is suddenly locked out of her home and left in an awkward position, it is Colton who unexpectedly shows up and rescues her. As soon as their eyes meet, Phoebe senses those old feelings for him return but unfortunately knows that Colton has never seen her as anything more than his little sister’s friend and the good girl she has always been. Colton has never been in a relationship that lasted longer than a few nights of lust. When he happens upon Phoebe in a surprising and embarrassing predicament, he is surprised to feel some inner feelings stirring within himself as well. But after having returned from the Marines injured, his main focus is to heal and return to duty. He doesn’t have time for any kind of a relationship nor does he want to risk leaving Phoebe with a broken heart. But as their lives begin to intermingle and their attraction to one another increases, they both agree that a simple relationship of some intimate fun with no lingering or emotional ties is exactly what they are looking for. But as the time they spend together becomes more frequent, although Phoebe tries to keep it under control her childhood crush ultimately metamorphoses into the love she always knew was there. Colton’s feelings also begin to intensify, and he starts to see more in her than just the girl he knew growing up. Now the increasing connection Colton feels with Phoebe leaves him questioning his need to return to the life he knew and risk losing the possibility of a life spent intertwined in Phoebe’s arms and woven together with her heart. Colton and Phoebe's story was so much fun I found myself almost continuously grinning as I flipped through page after page, chapter after chapter. As I turned the final page it left me with an exuberant feeling of happiness and contentment. The emotional joining between Colton and Phoebe was apparent from the inception of this book despite their attempts at trying to hide it from one another. They also shared some hot and electrifying moments together as well which made the depth of their connection more and more ostensible as the story progressed. Good Girl VS. Bad Boy is replete with entertaining and hilarious situations they find themselves in as well as the moments which will leave you fanning yourself from the hot sexy passion they share together. Jessie Evans has done it again giving us new fun loving and passionate characters. I was completely drawn into these characters’ live feeling like I was making some new friends. I am so looking forward to more of the Brody Brothers series as Jessie has dangled some new hunky heroes in front of our noses, and I am already excited and anticipating their stories of passion and love.

Ahhh Jessie Evans you have gone and did it again. I adored Phoebe and Colton's story. Phoebe has returned to her hometown after the death of her older sister. No longer wanting to live the boring, safe and predictable life she has lived for so long, she has chosen to be free spirited and adventures like her deceased sister Kelly was. What better way than to have a no strings love affair with her childhood crush and her best friends brother Colton. Colton is living in town, working for the fire department and waiting for the day he's granted permission to return to the Marine Corps after being discharged when wounded in combat. He is not looking for anyone or anything to fill the void, until Phoebe falls into his arms, literally. Colton can't get his mind off of Phoebe and how she has grown into this beautiful woman. No longer the little girl he knew and his sister's best friend. So when Phoebe presents him with a sexual relationship with no strings, who is he to say no. What neither Phoebe and Colton expected is how deep their feelings for one another would grow. Will Phoebe and Colton be more than friends with benefits? When and if Colton is given a chance to return to the Marine Corps can he leave Phoebe behind? Will Phoebe's bad luck finally turn around? Thank you Jessie Evans for once again for making me laugh, swoon and hope for all those secret crushes to come true. I LOVED Phoebe and Colton's story!

First, I love a book that opens my eyes to awesome opportunities I was not aware of and I think amputees being able to go back into service if they physically qualify is awesome! OK that aside. Loved this book, just like every other Jessie book. the romance is high! along with a fun side and a bit of naughty bossy/Dom side. The combination makes for a book you can't put down. Phoebe is the world's unluckiest woman alive, until it comes to her savior and who wouldn't want saved by Colt. Colt is amazing. a crash victim who lost his leg, but worked hard to not let that stop him from conquering what he wants. I'm anxious to read more from Lover's leap! Get to know the rest of the Brody clan and more quirky town holidays
