Review of Bad Boy Blues by Saffron A. Kent
Cleo has no idea the hell Zach went through of his own. She has no idea why he really left town three years ago. And she has no idea that he just may see her as something more than a convenient punching bag for his pain and rage. Will she see through his bullying ways and into his soul? Will he be able to give her his heart?
I am sooo impressed with Bad Boy Blues! Yes, it's reminiscent of Vicious by L.J. Shen. I have to say it because I know a lot of people are thinking it; but Zach and Cleo are not carbon copies of Vicious and Emilia. Zach is a bully yes, and a complete asshole yes, but there's humanity inside him. He just needed Cleo to bring it out. He needed someone tough and strong to bring out that humanity. And that heart, because he does have a heart, it's just been encased in layers of pain for too long. So do not let the fact that there are shades of Vicious in Bad Boy Blues keep you from reading, because this is a fabulous story, full of sizzle and emotions and a cast of awesome characters. I love how Zach slowly realized what he'd been feeling, how he came to terms with it, and how he persistently stuck with his plan of showing Cleo how he really felt about her. I loved the epilogue, and Zach's last bit telling the reader just how he feels about Cleo - it's a perfect representation of the man he's become by the end.
