Summary
She’s careful, but wants to be reckless.
She’s cute, but wants to be sexy.
She’s innocent, but wants to be bad.
When ex-Olympic gymnast, Adaley Knight wakes on her eighteenth birthday she only has one wish, to leave the only town she’s ever known and start fresh.
Finding herself enrolled at a college across the globe, the once modest Adaley is almost unrecognizable. Her new persona dances on the wild side by sinking her teeth into the first bad boy she sees. The only problem is he’s not the least bit interested.
Ryle Benson, baseball extraordinaire and brooding campus bad boy keeps everyone at an arms length. Things have never come easy for him and the last thing he needs is getting involved with any female.
The tables are reversed as she tries to be bad, tempting fate, and he tries to fight his. The push and pull is half the fun. But what happens when one pushes a little too hard?
What I Loved:
Adaley was a girl who thought she had it all figured out at a young age. When her dreams were no longer a possibility she wanted to be a different person and was tired of living her life safely. She decided to change colleges, dump her high school boyfriend, and experience college the way she wanted. She paid no apologies for her decisions and that is admirable. Adaley met Ryle her first day on campus and she new that bad boy was so the right type of bad she wanted. Even if her intentions were bad, (see what I did there?), she knew what she wanted and tried to go after it the only way her semi-sheltered self knew how.
Ryle was the moody bad boy with a very awful past. He knew with one look that Adaley would bring him to his knees, but he wasn’t sure if he was able to give her what she needed. So he tried to fight the attraction by being rude, and insulting. Eventually, after watching Adaley drink away her college experience the first few weeks, he had no more fight left to avoid the attraction. He knows deep down he doesn’t want a girl that appears easy because like Adaley, he too, knows what he wants.
Just as a note in general, Tank and Zoe are exactly the types of friends everyone should have. They were incredible secondary characters and I crave more from them.
What I didn’t Love:
Naomi. Plain and simple, she was a pain and I really wanted to tell her off myself. That’s all I got here.
Overall:
Sometimes you read a book and it just attacks your heart. Unrelenting. Unashamed. And unexpected. Bad Intentions is that book for me. Y'all really need to read this one. Its a reminder to me why I read books in the first place. That world that sucks you in completely, swallows you up and spits you out in whatever way it needs to unapologetically. Nacole Stayton is not afraid to go there. This one made my heart pound, my belly hurt from laughing, and sometimes cry. It was an attack of the sweetest kind. This is a story that needed to be told and it is going to stay with you for a while.
