A chance encounter of complete opposites. A way to let go of a single minded focus for just one night.An attraction that goes beyond the bedroom but due to the rules of their time together and the directions their lives are taking them in, that’s all it can be. Or is it?Rachel is a heroine who readers will be able to connect with on a number of levels. She’s always been about goals, completing one right after another and proving herself capable in the eyes of many but most importantly her father. Her ultimate goal has finally been obtained but one interaction with a Beautiful Tattooed Boy and she’s questioning her choices, her focus, her drive for success when it’s all that’s made up her life for so long.Dylan is the tall, dark, and handsome stranger who offers to be Rachel’s distraction, but it also seems like he’s hiding himself. Readers don’t learn too much about this badass, and I, for one, can’t wait to learn more and see where Rachel and Dylan’s connection takes them despite the opposite directions they seem to be heading. Rachel and Dylan’s story will have readers questioning if being happy enough is sufficient or if stepping outside of your carefully constructed box and risking everything for a chance encounter with a man who is your complete opposite but makes you feel more alive than ever before is worth more than a distraction.

Wow, yes Wow! I'm a real fan of mini-series (or novella series) and this novella starts off with a bang. I should say a good banging! Rachel has accepted a cello position with the Boston Symphony and will be leaving Chicago. While out with her girlfriend, for one final girls night-out, Rachel finds herself drawn to a beautiful tattooed badass. I love when they first meet and Dylan (said badass) discovers that Rachel is completely out of touch with present day music. Rachel's naiveté is genuine. She's been working endlessly to succeed as a cellist that she has hid from the rest of the world. The world goes on without her outside her apartment window. Dylan takes charge and brings the world back to Rachel. He shows her the pleasure of living, and dam it's HOT! Rachel only considers Dylan a one-night fling because she's moving away. She doesn't push for more of him. She doesn't discover the truth about Dylan until after she's on her way to Boston and now she doesn't know how she's going to be able to forget him. I can't wait for the next installment. I'm completely captivated.
What do You think about Badass In My Bed (2015)?
Wow!Omg this book is not what I expected at all! What a pleasant surprise this entire story turned out to be. This story is for all us girls that have that shy streak and don't throw caution to the wind. This story makes you want to just say, what the hell or why not. Rachel is a skilled cellist leaving home to take a position in a symphony in Boston.Dylan is a guy in a bar a few days before her move, the guy full of intrigue and charisma. Can a shy girl with very little sexual experience, albeit good ones at that, throw caution to the wind? Can she say why not? One last hoorah before she moves? Bring out the reckless side? This is a very quick and must read!I am moving to read the next one right the heck now!

Wow. This book is incredibly great and hot. Good girl Rachel is leaving Chicago and going to Boston. Of course, she has to have a girl's night out with her best friend before leaving...and she must have a one-night stand, even though she's unsure about it. But when she spots hot, bad boy, Dylan, she's sure that's what she wants, just afraid to admit it. What drew me to this story was how I can relate a bit to Rachel. She was always in her comfort zone. She was shy and quiet and didn't know how to tell a guy what she wanted. In comes Dylan and completely changes her, in a good way. It's a tale of opposites attract. I can't wait for the second book because I completely fell in love with Dylan and Rachel.
