Review:Never Been Good (Bad Boys Gone Good #2) by Christi Barth



Flynn Maguire isn’t really a bad guy. Sure, he worked for the mob, but he ran a legitimate business—on paper anyway—and it paid enough to keep his brother out of the lifestyle. Until they turned on him. Now he’s stuck in Witness Protection, tending bar in Nowheresville Oregon… and pissed the life he knew is gone. The only bright spot? Fantasizing about his quiet, secretive, beautiful coworker.

Sierra Williams is a woman on the run. All she wants now is to settle into small town life… and ignore the brooding, sexy bartender who can’t seem to take his eyes off her. Flynn’s bad-boy vibe pushes all her buttons, but Sierra fell for the wrong man once already. She can’t afford to let her guard down again. Except Flynn’s tough exterior is slowly melting away to reveal the sweet man beneath and their attraction is too strong to resist.

Sierra and Flynn are falling fast, but they’re both keeping so many secrets. The truth could ruin everything… unless a girl who’s a little bad is perfect for a guy who’s never really been good.

 What I thought about Never Been Good
Flynn Maguire and his brothers are in the witness protection program after providing evidence against the mob in Chicago. Flynn is having some trouble reconciling all that he and his brothers have lost in this move, and since they've been threatened with being thrown out of the WITSEC program, he's got to learn how to make it work in the tiny coastal town they've settled in. 

He doesn't have much in his life at the moment, and he's hesitant to form any relationships because he really can't talk about his past which makes it hard to get close.  But he can't deny the interest he has in his coworker, Sierra, a secretive woman that has captured his attention.

When she has a minor accident at the bar where they work, neither one of them can deny the attraction they have for each other.  Sierra has secrets too, which makes them perfect for each other!  

I really liked these two together.  They have a lot in common and their spark grows into something more. The pace of the story is very nice and kept my attention throughout their growing attraction.  The suspenseful elements were also very nicely done.

This is the second book in the series, but it worked well as a standalone, although it did make me want to read the first book in the story! I love the strong family ties between the brothers.

Overall, a satisfying and entertaining romance for Flynn and Sierra and I'm eager to read Kellen's story in the next installment. 

An ARC was provided for review.
