(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to author Kate Ashton.)This is book 3 in the ‘second chances’ series, but can be read as a standalone.Katie is looking for a little excitement and adventure in her life when she meets Chad, the bad-boy with a smile, who rescues her from some unwanted attention.Chad has troubles of his own though in the form of his father who seems determined to make him a part of the family business.Can Chad break free from his father’s controlling ways? And can Katie ever be a bad girl?This was a good YA contemporary romance, with a little bit of action.Katie was a girl who followed the rules, and wanted for once to be the bad girl, and get a little excitement. I liked the way she tried to be bad but still had that sweetness to her, and I thought that she played her part perfectly to get Chad to fall for her.The storyline in this was good, and we got a little excitement along with the romantic storyline. I liked the storyline concerning Chad and his father, although I worried that everyone involved in this book made pretty major mistakes at times.The romance in this was done well, and the characters fell in love slowly. The chemistry between them was nice, and things didn’t move too fast. I was a little disappointed that we never got more than a couple of kisses between these two, but they were pretty sweet together.The ending was good, and although I would have liked to have seen a bit more of this couple happy together, the ending did give us hope that they had a bright future.Overall; a good YA contemporary romance.7.5 out of 10.
