Bad Girlfriend is book 4 in this series.  They can all be read as stand alones, but it is much better to read book 1-3 first.This book centers on Adam and Brooke. Yet all the characters from the prior books join in.Brooke is Poppy’s best friend-we met her when she tried to convince Ford that Poppy was of age and could drink.  While that didn’t put her in the best light as far as her judgement goes – she’s a fantastic and loyal friend to Poppy. The whole town “floozy” title seems a bit harsh.As a hairdresser Brooke works her magic.  In love she could use a bit of help.Adam is the new principal. I have such a thing for hot, glasses wearing nerdy guys! He is instantly attracted to the gorgeous and quirky redhead.After yet another terrible hook up gone bad Brooke decides to follow Leah and Lindsay’s rules for dating.  Their short and sweet list changes the way Brooke thinks and so much sweetness and happiness ensue.The big drama centers on the perils of living in a small town.  The gossip and labels make it difficult to move forward.I love the characters in these books-realistic, funny, quirky, and such good hearts.  The themes of love, honesty, forgiveness and self respect are woven throughout each story. With a healthy dose of steam and romance.
