Bad Company is a delightful if somewhat unrealistic tale of Kellan Brooks' plan to get revenge on his father for cutting him off after his latest engagement crashes and burns. In order to do that he goes to former childhood friend Nate Gray and ask him to be his pretend boyfriend to tick his father off completely. Kellan isn't gay, but Nate is. The drama unfolds after this event as Nate and Kellan have to pretend to be madly in love, which isn't hard for Nate because he's secretly had a crush on his former best friend forever; but the question is, after all is said and done, will Kellan still want Nate after the charade is over?Bad Company is one of those novels you have to suspend disbelief in the plot and just go with the flow because once you do you'll fall madly in love with the two main protagonists. Nate and Kellan are adorable together, whether they are fighting or making love, they leap off the page with their passion for each other. Plus the banter between these two characters is some of the cleverest I have read in a long time. It rivals Dave and Maddie from Moonlighting - that is a high compliment from me since I loved that show! But most of all I love Kellan's journey from spoiled rich brat to a more responsible person who will fight to keep Nate.In the past I have enjoyed Ms. Mitchell's books, but to me with Bad Company she has surpassed her previous novels and created two characters who are dynamic, complicated and flawed, yet redeemable. A true talent is exposed in this work. Hopefully she will continue in this universe. 4.5 stars.Dark Divas Reviews
