Bad Penny
by Staci Hart
Kristie -
I'm seriously such a huge Staci Hart fan. This book was everything I could have hoped for. Penny is a cool chick, tattoo artist, purple hair and an I don't give a f88k attitude. She has a 3 date rule and she's been sticking to it, until Bodie comes along and she decides to bend her rules a bit. But Bodie is playing his own game, who wins? You'll have to read and see. The book is witty and sexy and everything in between. Definitely a must read for any romance reader.
Nothing good comes after the third date.
See, date three is the crucial point when things get real, which is exactly why I bounce out the door, twiddling my fingers at whatever poor boy I’ve left behind. Because if I stick around, one of three things will happen: he’ll profess his undying love, he gets weird and stalky, or I’ll go crazy. Like, Sid and Nancy crazy. Like, chase-him-through-the-streets-begging-him-to-love-me crazy.
Seriously, it’s better for everyone this way.
So when I meet Bodie, I figure it’ll be the same as it ever was. It doesn’t matter that he doesn’t put a single string on me. Doesn’t matter that he’s funny and smart and jacked and can play my body like a grand piano. Because even though I’m built for love, love has only carved me up like a Christmas ham.
Resistance is something I can only hang on to for so long, and he has persistence in spades. But my heart isn’t as safe as I want to believe, and neither is his. And the second I ignore my cardinal rule is the second I stand to lose him forever.
