I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

The Bad Brothers are strong, intense, persistent and powerful.  Once you meet them, you can’t help but want to spend more time with them and Brett Bad was no exception.  From the moment I met Brett I was curious to know what made this playboy tick.

Brett is averse to commitment. He is not looking to be tied down to one woman as he believes love was not meant for him. Watching his brothers fall under the spell of love was not enough to change his mind. Then he met Sophie Roberts. He finds himself drawn to her, but she refuses to respond to his overtures.  All he wants is one night with her to so he can move on to his next conquest, but is this enough to purge Sophie Roberts from his mind and heart?

Sophie is looking for her forever after, but she knows Brett is not the one to offer it to her. Unfortunately, this did not stop her from being attracted to him.  Her attraction to him made refusing his advances difficult and so she granted him his wish for one night with her. Will she be able to give Brett what he desires without risking her heart in the process?

I enjoyed the moments spent with this wonderful couple.  I detest players, but when I learned the reasons behind his actions, I could not help but empathise with him.  Brett struggled with guilt, which stemmed from tragic events in his past. It was this guilt coupled with fear, which made him commitment phobic.

 Spending time with Sophia proved to the best medicine for Brett. Her love healed him in ways he never thought possible.  It gave him the courage to face his demons, thus making him a stronger person. A man who is not afraid to express his feelings is strong and Brett became that person through the healing power of love. Sophie saw in Brett what he failed to see in himself. I admired her willingness to risk all for her forever love. How much of us would risk the pain of a broken heart hoping to find our own forever love?

Their romance was sweet and spicy.  These two burnt up the pages.  I loved that their romance was drama free and any obstacles to their relationship lay with them. I admired Brett’s attempts to prove to Sophia that he was willing to give her what she so desired.  Watching them navigate the hills and valleys of their relationship was heart-warming and a stark reminder that true was worth fighting for.

Ms. Foster is known for writing stories, which not only focuses on the romance between her characters, but also on the unbreakable bonds of friendship and the value of family. These themes featured strongly in this installment. I enjoyed spending time with Sophia’s family, especially her grandmother who was the life of the party.  Spending time with Sophia’s family was an eye opening experience for Brett. An experience, which would forever change him.

Conclusion/ Recommendation

Brett: Bad Boys After Dark took me on a journey I was not prepared for, but one I thoroughly enjoyed. The emotions leapt from the pages and the story flowed fluidly.  Brett’s story is the fourth and final book in the series and it is my favourite of all.  Ms. Foster delivered a sweet, sexy romance with heart, which I found enchanting and captivating.

Bad Boys After Dark: Brett

(Bad Billionaires After Dark)

Bad Billionaires After Dark are a series of stand-alone hot and sexy romances. 

Indulge your inner vixen…

Meet the Bad Boys… Four fiercely loyal, sinfully sexy, uber alpha brothers, about to fall head over heels for their leading ladies.

Everything’s naughtier after dark…
Billionaire security expert Brett Bad has had his eye on his brother’s gorgeous legal assistant, Sophie Roberts, for years. He wants nothing more from her than a single night between the sheets to satisfy his desires. But Sophie is a white-picket-fence girl, and she’s turned him down more times than he cares to count. 

Sophie is all about forever kisses and happily ever afters. But she can’t deny her attraction to Brett, as enticed by his bad-boy behavior as she is by his devastating looks and his painful past, which she’d like to help heal. 

When Sophie’s friend urges her to throw caution to the wind, Sophie leaves the door to her heart ajar—and Brett charges in. But this Bad boy doesn’t know a thing about romance and has no interest in forever, forcing Sophie to make her toughest decision yet—follow her heart or protect it?

Meet the Bad Boys… Four fiercely loyal, sinfully sexy, uber alpha brothers, about to fall head over heels for their leading ladies.

Everything’s naughtier after dark… 

Amanda Jenner is done being a boring-man magnet and has finally taken control of her love life. As any smart paralegal would, she’s researched the hell out of how to seduce a man. She’s waxed, primped, and ready to put her newfound skills into action–and a masquerade bar crawl is the perfect venue for her solo coming-out party.

Entertainment attorney Mick Bad lives by two hard and fast rules. He never mixes business with pleasure, and he doesn’t do relationships, which makes the anonymity of a masquerade bar crawl the perfect place for a onetime hookup.

Amanda thinks she’s hit the jackpot when she bags a tall, dark, and sinfully delicious masked man–until she discovers the man she’s made out with is her off-limits boss. Mick’s already crossed a line he can never uncross, and one taste of sweet and sexy Amanda has only whet his appetite. When Mick offers to give Amanda a lesson in seduction–no strings, no regrets, and for goodness’ sake, come Monday, no quitting–the tables turn, and Mick’s totally unprepared for the lessons this sweet temptress provides.

The Bad Boys are a series of stand-alone romances that may also be enjoyed as part of the larger Love in Bloom series.

Bad Boys After Dark: Carson (Bad Billionaires After Dark #3)

Once again I found myself in the safe arms of Melissa Foster, and once again I close the book with a satisfied sigh.” – Miss Betty Book Reviews

“Carson is like a good steak, or a big peace of chocolate cake. One bite (or for me, one paragraph read) and I’m hooked. I couldn’t put the book down, didn’t want to put the book down, and in fact, I DIDN’T put the book down from word 1 until the very last word in Carson’s story. This book was phenominal.” – Cali Book Reviews

Second chances really do exist…

As the founder of a multimillion-dollar international security business, Carson Bad exposes secrets for a living. He knows better than to forge relationships built on them. But for years he did just that with his best friend, and secret lover, Tawny Bishop. 

She brought a sense of calm and understanding to his life—in and out of the bedroom. Until one fateful night when a knock at the door changed everything. Tawny is no longer a naive college student. She’s a sought-after perfumer living in Paris. She has plenty of resources at her fingertips, and lots of lonely nights to think about the only man she’s ever loved—the one she ran away from all those years ago. She needs to move forward with her life, but how can she when Carson still owns her heart

Maybe showing up in the middle of the night unannounced isn’t the best route to unraveling the past and figuring out her future, but Tawny has played it safe for ten long years, and it’s only made her long for the man she never should have walked away from. Now she’s back in Carson’s life, and he’s determined not to make the same mistake twice. If only he knew what that mistake was…

The Bad Boys are a series of stand-alone romances that may also be enjoyed as part of the larger Love in Bloom series.

  1. Melissa Foster

    I’m so glad the family theme pulls you in! Thank you so much for reading and for sharing your thoughts on Brett’s book XOXO

  2. the characters sound really well developed and it looks like it can be emotional, but at the same time same old same old ;/

  3. So glad you enjoyed this one. I recently tried one of the author’s books written under Addison Cole and couldn’t finish it largely because of the narrator. I do want to try some of her books written as Melissa Foster. This sounds like a great romance.
