A Real Good Bad Thing by Lauren Blakely is LIVE!
Enemies turn to lovers, but can they trust each other as they chase the same prize? A sexy romantic comedy adventure from #1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely…
I live my life by three simple rules. Don’t mix business with pleasure. Always work solo. And family comes first.
But when I head to the tropics for a quick job and meet a fiery woman who makes my pulse roar, I can’t resist bending the first rule for her.
Trouble is, after we spend a scorching night together on the beach, I discover she’s my new enemy. The quick-witted and clever beauty is on a treasure hunt for the same damn prize – beating me in a race to find millions in stolen diamonds.
See you later, sexy stranger.
Too bad I keep bumping into my gorgeous rival all over this tropical paradise as we chase clues.
Maybe it’s better to partner up. But, the more time we spend together sneaking into nightclubs and art galleries, the harder it is to keep my hands off her. And soon, I'm not just sleeping with my very irresistible enemy.
I’m starting to give her my heart.
That breaks my biggest rule of all. Don’t ever fall in love. Because it always screws you over.
*Note: A Real Good Bad Thing will be entirely new to most of you! Some of you might have read an older series of Lauren's called The Jewel series (now off sale) years and years ago. That two-book storyline serves as the source material for this new story, and has had a HUGE rewrite, which includes being changed to 1st person, and turned into a standalone, with all new characters, dialogue, motivations, setting and so on! But if there's a touch of the familiar to some of you that's why! However, if you read The Jewel series and feel like you need or want to skip this title, please email me and let me know. No one will be offended AT ALL. That being said, with all the changes and massive rewrites, I feel confident you will adore this new story.

MY REVIEW
After Ruby's amazing night with a stranger, she knows she'll never see the man again. Until he shows up, angry at her for something she didn't even do. Now the two of them are on a treasure seeking adventure, and the close proximity is either going to be the best thing for them, or make them even more enemies.
Jake has rules, and Ruby is making him break them all. He can't get the woman out of his mind, especially now that they're seeking the diamonds together. He's still not sure if he trusts her, and it's messing with his mind. Is it possible he's falling for someone he doesn't fully trust? What happened to his 3 rules and why is he falling for his rival?
I love this romantic adventure! It feels like a contemporary version of Romancing the Stone with a side of National Treasure thrown in. The rivals vibe is strong but not so much that it feels like true enemies, the banter is witty, snarky and fun, and their chemistry is delicious. I know this is a revised re-release, I'm hoping that we get more of these two and even an expanded series perhaps? *hint hint*
