This Christmas, paraplegic Carol Cassidy is caught between the naughty and the nice: a hired Santa and a disabled firefighter.
Carol was an avid mountain climber until an accident left her in a wheelchair. Love is the last thing on her mind until she hires Nick to play Santa. Shocked at the sensations he elicits, she resists him and decides to date a good guy
Nick is drawn to Carol like a magnet to iron, and he sets out to prove that bad boys who hire themselves out can be good boys, too—especially in bed. Carol discovers she’s not dead to passion, but when Nick’s dirty laundry is aired, she regrets choosing the naughty over the nice. Will the spirit of Christmas teach her that sometimes, a huge lump of coal can turn into the brightest diamond of love?
Bad Boys for Hire are fun and exciting stories where love is unexpected, but always delicious. They can be read standalone, but for greater enjoyment, please be sure to check out the other books in the series.
My thoughts:
This book is the perfect romantic read for the holidays, especially if you're into bad boys!
Nick is an escort who takes the jobs he's assigned, including playing Santa for a toy drive. Carol is a wheelchair-bound former mountain climber who is trying to live her life and provide a better life for children in her situation.
When the two collide at the toy drive Carol finds Nick as sleazy, self absorbed and altogether irritating. But he makes her feel in a way that she hasn't since before her accident.
Can the two make it work? Or will Carol stick with the safe option?
This is the first of the Bad Boys for Hire series that I've read, and I definitely want to go back and read the rest! There are glimpses of the previous characters' lives in this book, and I love following through on people's stories to see how their lives turned out.
