REVIEW: Diary of a Bad Boy by Meghan Quinn

Diary of a Bad Boy by Meghan Quinn: Sutton loves working for her dad and she’s thrilled to be leading the camp he puts on for kids this year. She’s a hard-worker and earned her job. She’s lead a bit of a sheltered life, but she’s hoping to start to live a little more this year with a list of New Year’s Resolutions to help her along. She’s a good Southern girl, but feisty and with a backbone when pushed.

Roark is a highly sought-after sports agent. He’s a self-made man with two loyal best friends who have stuck with him despite his family baggage. He’s a sexy, charming Irishman who has a temper, drinks like fish, and smokes like a chimney. He enjoys his life as it is and wants nothing to do with relationships.

Despite the punch of attraction she initially felt for Roark, she’s introduced to his worst impulses early on. Roark is challenging, rough around the edges, and not easily persuaded. He deliberately sets out to challenge and introduce his version of fun into her life. It’s a cat and mouse game where Sutton is endlessly frustrated, yet she can’t walk away.

“Why? Are you not having fun?” He smirks.
“No. I’m not. How is this fun? Parading around the city with you has not been my ideal day.”
“And here I thought you were having a good time, lass.”
“Where did you get that impression?”

Roark is definitely attracted to her and he doesn’t understand his fascination with the innocent yet sassy woman he’s getting to know. Both are surprised when they end up working together and Sutton shows her determination and persistence to gain his grudging cooperation and respect. They get under each other’s skin and challenge each other yet also provide comfort.

Roark: Where is the sweet girl I first saw at a hot Grey’s Papaya?
Sutton: She’s been corrupted by an Irishman.
Roark: Apparently. Christ, you had my sweating.
Sutton: I know I should feel bad, but I don’t. Not after all you put me through when we first met. Sometimes payback is delayed, but still gratifying.

Diary of a Bad Boy is humorous, sexy, and oh the anticipation! Meghan Quinn developed the characters and relationships in a way that worked and was believable. Ms. Quinn provided angst, conflict, anticipation, romance, heat, friendship, and family. Diary of a Bay Boy is a standalone but features the trio of best friends from The Secret to Dating Your Best Friend’s Sister. Fans of Emma Hart and Leddy Harper will enjoy Diary of a Bad Boy.

Publication: Published March 5th 2019 | Pub: Meghan Quinn |

From USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a forbidden romance about an Irish rebel who falls in love with the wrong girl.

Dear Diary,

I might have gotten myself into a wee bit of trouble—and I’m not talking about the “court mandated community service,” or “therapy sessions from bashing a bloke in the head” kind of trouble.

I wish it were that simple.

Nope. I’m talking about the “falling in love with one of my client’s daughters,” kind of trouble . . . The kind of problem I can’t talk my way out of when the truth gets out.

How I ended up with her phone is a long story—and when she called to get it back, I took things a bit too far. One innocent exchange wound up leading to so much more.

Fun, new, and totally immune to my charm, Sutton is different. And I had no idea she was the daughter of Foster Green.

Blame it on the dark colored stout running through my veins, pushing me toward one bad decision after another. Pushing me toward her even though I know right from wrong; even though she’s my client’s daughter.

Dating her might be the best or worst decision I’ve ever made. Only time, whiskey, and one more roll around the mattress with her will tell.
