The heroine, Erica, is a plus sized mechanic who's too nice and compassionate for her own good while Drew Haizea is a pretty boy, overindulged jackass who is in need of a good shake. I like these two together, they're not a pair one usually reads on romance novels and that's precisely the reason why I enjoyed this very much. I found it daring that ABreton gave us something unexpected but with the same amount of passion one finds in books like these. Chubby chasers and big girls need some loving too!However I do feel that SWEETLY BAD needs an epilogue or something to tie up some loose ends. The paranormal element is very small so it didn't really bother me that the myth behind these witches wasn't given as the story is centric to Drew marked as a rogue and not his coven. However I do want to know what happened to Erica's ex, Jared, he's an annoying cockroach that needs to be served some cold justice. I also wanted to see Erica put her opportunistic and selfish sister, Tina, in her proper place. Tina always puts Erica down and I would've loved to see Tina's jaw drop upon seeing her "overweight" sister hook up with a gorgeous guy like Drew. That would've been priceless!On a side-note, I think what threw off readers about SWEETLY BAD is it's a little chick lit-ish for Ellora's Cave. EC is known for panty melting stories with unbelievably perfect people with just the right amount of flaws to be considered human. Don't get me wrong, SWEETLY BAD is sexy but it's light and not as sexually and emotionally intense as one expects from an EC book. Haizea Brood 2 is more romcom than erotica so I think BoB users didn't get much material from here which disappointed them. Eep! As for me, I found SWEETLY BAD to be a funny and enjoyable read, I wanted something light with a bit of spunk and that's exactly what I got. Expectations met.
