BAD SITUATION

Author: Brynne Asher
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: November 1st, 2018
A group of women walk into a bar…
Sounds like the start of a crude joke, right? Yeah, well, the joke’s on me because I’m investigating the gorgeous one in the heels with the great ass. Jenson Montgomery.
Now I’m treading that area between right and wrong, good and bad, where sin and honor meld to become gray. Not that I haven’t been here before. Hell, I’ve made my career in the gray. I never hesitate going to battle when my gut tells me I’m right. And right now, my gut—among other things—is speaking loud and clear about Jen Montgomery.
She’s in a bad situation. Not just bad—deep and black and ugly.
And I’m about to make it worse. She just doesn’t know it yet.

5 ‘The BEST of Situations’ Stars
Oh… My…. Heart… Bad Situation was so emotionally raw, incredibly sexy and completely and utterly gripping, it instantly went to my favorites reads of 2018! Jen and Eli will definitely have a permanent spot in my booklover’s heart! Bad Situation was the PERFECT kind of Situation, I’d say… Sigh…
Coming as sort of crossover between Ms. Asher’s already amazing series, Carpinos and Killers, I couldn’t be happier in getting Jen and Eli’s story! For those of you, fangirls like yours truly, Jen is sister to Athica Lane’s Cam and Eli had a small – but relevant – appearance on Paths. So I was already intrigued by them as characters on their own, but these two together?! Oh boy, I was not ready for this level of chemistry!
Catching his dark eyes, they clash with mine and hold tight. Not uttering a word, it’s like his gaze is trying to communicate with me. If I only spoke dark, sexy eye-language.
Damn the erotic, misleading FBI agent.
From the very first look, first touch, the chemistry between them was SCORCHING! And that first meeting would mean so much more, specially when the true reasons behind the encounter are unveiled and Elijah’s FBI role comes forward and in how much it is connected to Jen! A Bad and complicated Situation indeed…
I’m the king of pushing boundaries and can walk the line of good and evil while always working for the good.
“When I see something I want, I take it.”
A tricky situation, and with potential to blow up in their faces, but nothing or no one is going to prevent Eli from taking what – or better yet, WHO – he wants: Jenson Montgomery. This man… Alpha with a capital A, I tell you! From that very first instant he’s captivated like never before and knows he NEEDS Jen, and she needs him just as much. Now he just had to convince the tough and strong willed businesswoman of all that, LOL.
This man, I trust him with my body. It’s my heart I’m not so sure about yet.
And here is lies a HUGE factor for the awesomeness that is Bad Situation, because not only does Eli not give up on his quest, but this kind of push and pull – added to deliciously and mature banter – just adds to the most scorchingly HOT build up, not only emotional slow burn, but sizzling hot foreplay and sexy times. And don’t get me started on the real sexy times… NSFW warning level of HOTNESS!
“Oh, fuck.”
“Not now, but definitely later when I can take my time with you.”
Elijah Petit, for a man of not many words, sure knew how to enchant us – and Jen, lol – with not only the most caring of actions, but some swoon worthy moments. Like I said, ALL the Alphaness: protective, possessive and passionate, and to top it of, there was no doubt that Jen came first, no matter the consequences. Swoon….
“I’m saying that I’ve never been more grateful that my instincts are on point. Because I might’ve wanted you the first time I saw you, but right now? Baby, you throw all that other shit that should be standing between us out the window and the difference now is that I don’t see myself ever wanting anyone else.”
And Jen… Brynne Asher really outdid herself with this female character! Not many times we get to read in romance about female main characters in such high power roles, but sadly even less with such realism, and veracity to the character. Yes, Jen was beyond strong in all matters, but her hidden fragility, insecure moments, and unwavering femininity and strength completely won me over. She and her emotions were so incredibly real that I found myself crying – with is very rare for this blackhearted reader 😉 – more than once LIVING her feeling along with her. That’s jus how EXTRAORDINARY this book was!
“We’re might not be suited and started out in the worst situation ever, but I can’t get you out of my head, baby.”
“I have no business being with you, but here I am, breaking every rule—both written and unwritten.”
Brynne Asher really knocked it out of the park with Bad Situations. As always the slow burn, the instant attraction and the incredibly creating world building talent were there, yet the outstandingly complex and real feeling characters always give it a brand new touch and remind me once again why the author is standing feature auto-read/all-time-fav list. You can not read these books and not fall in love right along with them. They hook you from the very start and you became addicted, and therefore, craving more and more. Exactly like here, Bad Situation gave us an amazing ending for Jen and Eli, but here I am already desperate for the next book, specially with those teasing bombs along the way! I need ALL the Montgomerys books STAT!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
This is what it looks like for two people to need each other with a desperation so deep, it hurts.
“How did I get you out of such a fucked-up situation?”
