Momma Says: 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐
Bad Girl Gone Good is fast-paced, entertaining read. It's also a quick read, coming in at a couple hours read time, but there's a lot of story packed into those pages. It's a bit angsty for a RomCom and is more amusing than outright funny, but it does have an edgy tone and there's even a bit of danger. In the beginning, Abby isn't the most likable of characters, at least until we get her whole story. While I still wouldn't agree with her actions, her childhood and current struggles do help build some empathy for her situation. Nolan is easier to like, and he and Abby do have good chemistry. All in all, this one is a fun read with plenty of energy to keep the pages turning.
The city glowed so brightly against the dark backdrop of the night from up here. Nolan’s penthouse balcony was large and protected from the world by a clear glass door. I stepped outside to feel the cool, night air against my hot, sweaty skin. I didn’t have to worry too much about privacy. The penthouse was up so high and situated in a way that no one could look into the place if they tried. The City Tower glowed like the beacon that it was. So, this was what rich people saw from their high horses? It definitely beat my view of the railroad tracks from my kitchen window. I didn’t even have a balcony.
Nolan and I made love again before I feigned sleep and he rolled over. I quickly wiggled back into my dress and left the room to look for his wallet before running off into the night and deleting any semblance of Madison online. I was kind of relieved to get back to being Abby.
And yet, here I stood on the balcony, having a hard time leaving. I took some time to meander through the place. It was a typical bachelor pad with various tech gadgets on display. What I was really impressed was his collection of old vinyl, which he proudly displayed by a vintage record player on a shelf next to a large book shelf. I browsed through his books and sure enough; I found copies of H. G. Wells, Orson Scott Card and Aldous Huxley. Of course, someone as smart and educated as him would like the classics. If Nolan would actually go for me—the real me—I wouldn’t care whether he had money or not. He was the kind of guy I would always want but would never deserve.
I found his wallet laying on the counter in the kitchen. I opened it and just like Sylvia said I would; I found a few hundred dollars along with several credit cards and a driver’s license. I pulled out the license and smiled at his picture. He even looked hot in his ID photo.
My heart sank. I didn’t have the stomach to pull a con like this. Maybe it was just the amazing sex we had or the fun time we had talking, but I just couldn’t leave him in the middle of the night. I put the money back and left his wallet on the counter. I went back into his bedroom and left the dress on the floor where I found it.
I just needed one more night of being Madison, one more night of being desired by this amazing guy. I guess I wanted to feel like a real princess just once before getting back to the real world. Tomorrow, I’d swipe the cash and break things off with him. Tomorrow, everything would be back to normal. But tonight, I needed this.
