Review: Where's the Bad Boy?
Rating: 2 out of 5

I didn't understand this book. This book was rewritten and it still gives off the vibe of a historical romance. Its called the "Bad Boy of New Orleans" but, there was no bad boy in it. Chance grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and his mother was a made but that doesn't make him a "Bad Boy". There was no fighting, burglaries or thefts. No gaggle of women or girls, no fast cars of motorcycles, not even a "Bad Boy" attitude. Later the author dabbles with it premise that he is a ruthless business man that will step on and over anyone to get what he wants but that falls flat when there is only a semi heated phone conversation with someone.Micah comes from money and her parents don't want her anywhere around Chance. Not only is he from the other side of the tracks but, he is also their maids son. Micah is in love with Chance and plans on spending the rest of her life with him.Chance leaves Micah in order to make something of himself so her family will have to accept him but, while he is away, he never writes or calls Micah and she thinks that he has moved on.Micah meets a man named Johnathan, who her family and friends all like so she decides to marry him even though she's still in love with Chance. One year after her marriage, Chance returns and discovers that she is married and that her husband Johnathan is a gambling, drinking, cheater who has gambled away nearly all of Micah's money. Micah refuses to leave her husband because of her pride and guilt and Chance just waits, watching her from afar.Even though Micah is a few thousand dollars away from being completely broke, her pride wont allow her to ask anyone (other than the bank) for help and she wont accept a hand out. Her pride irritates me ad nauseam!The fact that she questioned everything that Chance did or thought made this book frustrating and this book was extremely slow!
