One night with him will change her life...
Between her waitressing job, volunteer work, and college classes, there are never enough hours in Maggie Reilly’s day. Especially not for a relationship. Luckily, she’s got the perfect arrangement: a lover she meets three or four times a year. But when she shows up at the hotel expecting to hop into bed with one man, she accidentally ends up with another—Ben Barrett, Hollywood’s most notorious bad boy.
Ben, determined to lay low after another scandal, just wants some much-needed sleep. What he gets is a scorching make-out session with a gorgeous, naked redhead. He won’t accept her apology, but what he will accept is a place to hide out…and if there’s some hot, no-strings sex involved, why the heck not?
But Ben soon discovers that one week with his sassy, bed-hopping waitress is definitely not enough. He wants more. A lot more.
Now he needs to convince relationship-averse Maggie that a bad boy might be oh so good for her—and the best thing that’s ever happened to both of them.

What I thought about Bad Apple
Actor Ben Barrett just wants to sleep. Unfortunately, the paparazzi keep him from getting the rest he needs so he checks into a hotel where no one is likely to know him.
Maggie Reilly can't wait for her work shift to get over so she can meet up with her semi-annual hookup, Tony. She doesn't believe in relationships -- but with work and school and volunteer work, she's looking forward to the release being with Tony brings. Only things go awry when she meets Ben instead (great scene), and he ends up making a deal with her -- sleep in exchange for the release that she missed from the Tony-mixup.
Maggie goes along with the plan -- she just doesn't count on falling for Ben -- and falling for him hard, especially when Ben and Maggie really click together. They are super steamy together and from their physical connection, they start really liking each other, but Ben's career and scandals catch up to them in a not-so-good way.
I devoured this book in just a few nights and really loved this story! It's got all the right elements of contemporary romance in a perfect mix -- the story is hot and steamy when it needs to be and things get serious in a very believable way. When everything falls apart for Maggie and Ben, I was devastated, which makes the HEA all the more special. And did you see that cover? Scorchin!
If you are a looking for a fast read, great characters, steamy bedroom action and an HEA you can root for, Bad Apple might just do it for you, like it did for me!
