Kris is a successful dominatrix, but someone is targeting her clients.  Her newest client, Nick, is a police detective and put on the case.  Will Nick be able to keep Kris safe and be able to find the murderer?Hang onto your seats for a romantic thriller complete with serial killers and a love triangle!After a terrifying rape, Kris became a different person.  With the help of her psychiatrist, Kris starts a new career as a dominatrix who caters to the needs of her eclectic clients.  Although she is living a normal life, she hasn't moved on from her ordeal.  Luckily, her best friend, Felix, is there for her in all aspects of her life.I fell in love with Felix.  He innately knows how to deal with Kris' issues.  Plus, he and Kris have a relationship that grows naturally.Nick is a bit more difficult to love.  He's overbearing, stubborn, hot, and a control freak (which makes his relationship with Kris a bit... odd).  Luckily, he means well, even if he comes across as a bit creepy.  Unfortunately, his relationship with Kris is forced (both figuratively and somewhat literally) so I had a difficult time swallowing these two unlikely characters as a couple.The story moves fairly quickly with very few lulls.  I liked how the character development and story is solidly developed together without having too much of character or too much plot at any given point.  Plus, there is a mystery that kept me guessing as to who was the bad guy.Bad Girl is part romance, part thriller, part mystery... a little bit of everything for everyone!  Do not be scared away by Kris being a dominatrix.  In actuality, she spends little of the book doing her work and none of it is too strange.  I loved the mystery and the romance, even if I did not necessarily like Nick + Kris.  But, there is much more to love about this book than not.  Definitely worth taking a chance on this book!BookingIt Grade:  A-
