A BAD BOY FOR CHRISTMAS is Book 3 in Jessica Lemmon's Second Chance series. I love this series, and each book only gets better. I don't think reading the previous books in this series is necessary to enjoying A BAD BOY FOR CHRISTMAS, but you'll want to because of how delicious they are. A BAD BOY FOR CHRISTMAS is a great book for romance fans who like charming heroes who pursue and woo the woman of their dreams.

I love A BAD BOY FOR CHRISTMAS for a few reasons. Jessica Lemmon does such a superb job of developing characters who are not only complex but ones you care about. Faith Garrett is a woman who has been treated pretty shabbily by her ex, so she's naturally skittish when hunky gardener Connor makes his interest in her known. I like the sexy flirtation and friendship that marks the early stages of their relationship. I like the way Jessica Lemmon decided to bring them together by having him act as a protector for Faith. They get to know each other a little better while he's playing bodyguard and it shows what a caring guy Connor is. Connor is the total package -- protective, strong, sweet, and very sexy.

Complex and interesting characters mixed with a sensual, flirty love story make A BAD BOY FOR CHRISTMAS so enjoyable. I like Faith and her hesitance about jumping into a serious relationship makes sense to me based on her history. However, I also like how Connor called her out on her fears. Although he's a few years younger than her, he is a little more in touch with his feelings than Faith is. Connor is an amazing hero and one of my favorites. He's been a soldier and has experience that's influenced his choices, without letting his ghosts cripple him.

A BAD BOY FOR CHRISTMAS makes a yummy Christmas confection. This is why I love Jessica Lemmon's books -- they're always a lot of fun, the characters are interesting, and the romance is always hot. I'm dying to see how things work out for Gloria and her rocker bad boy Asher. I eagerly await the next book by Jessica Lemmon.

Book Summary

'Tis the Season to Be Naughty

Connor McClain knows what he wants. And after four harrowing years in Afghanistan, that's a quiet life in the lakeside town of Evergreen Cove. But coming home has land mines of its own-the most dangerous of them being long-legged bombshell Faith Garrett. Now getting her into his arms this holiday is going to require more than mistletoe . . .

With a cheating ex behind her, all Faith wants is a relaxing holiday free from man drama. And even though every moment with gorgeous Connor is a sweet temptation, Faith is determined not to give in. But Jack Frost has other plans, and soon Faith and Connor are snowbound in a winter wonderland with only the sparks flying between them to keep them warm. As one hot kiss leads to another, they'll have to decide if they're ready to give each other the best gift of all-love.
