As Ben and Amelia spend more and more time with each other, the attraction between the two of them gets hotter and hotter, but they still have doubts as to their relationship. Bride of the Bad Boy is a funny and sexy book. Leanne Banks is without peer in writing characters that are likable, and have layers to their personalities. Ben Palmer wears black leather, has an earring, long hair, and a few misdemeanor convictions in his past. But he also loves to spend time with his nephew, can make the best cookies in town, participates in every charity event he can and runs a very successful import car dealership.
Amelia is a college teacher who dresses very conservatively.
She's always done the proper thing and never stuck out in a crowd. But Amelia has a spark in her eyes and hair that is wild and curly. She reads Victoria's Secret catalogues when she thinks no one is looking and has always wanted to be, well not Bad, but just a little wild. I enjoyed The Lone Rider Takes a Bride , but I thought there was too much angsting on the part of Amelia and Ben about how they are so very different from each other.
