GOD, every time I start an RS Grey book, I know I’m basically not available for any human interaction until I finish. Her books are just SOOOOO CONSUMING AND SK ADDICTING!!!! I always get butterflies and have a HUGE smile on my face as I devour the entire thing. It’s the BEST escape!!! Thank you RS Grey for the hours of smiles and butterflies!!!

I ADORED THIS!!! Like hugging my kindle with a swing smile on my face, LOVED IT!

This one follows Madison who is tired of her boring life and takes matters into her own hands. Ben who is the bad boy the town is doing community service hours at the library she works at so she requests that he help “make her bad” cue the sparks and fireworks because every time these two were in the room together, the chemistry was posing off the page. 

I related to Madison so much as someone who is 26, still figuring out life under my parents roof. I LOVED how brave she was so break free. She was so funny, witty and a wonderful heroine to follow. I was so happy for her and I was rooting for her the entire time!! AND BEN!!! LORD HAVE MERCY!!! I LOVE HIM!!!!! He might just be my new favorite hero from RS Grey. I loved watching him fall for Madison and that push and pull had me dying!! AND DARCY OUTFIT!!!!! Totally fanning myself at that part. I also love how it had a bit of that class differences and some of the light drama that came from that. Their relationship was so much fun to follow and I could not put this book down. I just wanted MORE AND MORE AND MORE!! I loved escaping into their love story! It was beautiful and such a joy to read! 

And the SIDE CHARACTERS! I LOVE ANDY! He made me laugh so many times. Every single character had some depth to them and I loved seeing their friend group come together, it was so sweet to read! 

Overall, anything RS Grey is wonderful and I highly recommend making your heart happy and picking this up!

R.S. Grey has done it again! Make Me Bad had me laughing, swooning, smiling and loving all the romantic/sexy moments. I've read quite a few of her books and I think this one has now become my favorite!

Madison is such an easy character to relate to. A book lover, librarian and she's pretty innocent. She does what is expected of her and never steps out of line. Turning 25 has made her decide she wants more wild and exciting in her life. Madison always follows the rules and living at home with her Dad basically keeps her seen as a child! I loved watching Madison change in this book. She starts standing up for herself and figuring out what she wants. Madison finally finds her naughty side!

Ben's family is known in town and he knows Madison shouldn't come near him. He has a great career and no shortage of attention from women! Ben seems all tough and arrogant, but that's definitely not the case. Behind his tough attitude is a guy who really cares. Love is scary for him though, because of certain events in his past. Ben seems to have a hard time keeping Madison out though.

I think this is my favorite way of a couple getting together. Him volunteering at her library and Madison asking for him to make her bad was hilarious. Their chemistry is so much fun and I never knew a library could be a naughty place!

Make Me Bad has a slower romance, but there are definitely fireworks. Her geeky side and his macho side are a lot of fun to read about. If you're looking for a new romantic comedy, I definitely recommend this one! Great characters, a lot of humor, swoon-worthy moments all add up to an amazing story! I'm already looking forward to this author's next book!

I was issued a warning: stay away from Ben Rosenberg. As Clifton Cove's resident "king," he thinks he's entitled to anyone and anything.The trouble is, I've spent my whole life following the rules and playing it safe. I know what it feels like to be the good girl. I'm the police chief's daughter and a librarian-for adorable children, no less. My wardrobe consists of colorful sundresses and baggy jeans. I might as well have a Post-it stuck to my forehead that reads: Yup, she's a virgin.An all-nighter with a fictional hunk is about as exciting as my life gets, until one day, fate decides to take pity on me and shove me straight into the path of Mr. Off-Limits himself.Oof.Just as I suspected, every inch of him promises to be my demise. Up close, he's tall, menacing, dangerously handsome-the type of man who's never spent a single moment worrying about the opinions of others. A well-behaved girl would do as she's told and avoid him at all costs, but I'm overdue for a little rebellion. No more Friday nights sprawled out on the couch in my comfiest pajamas. No more wishing I had the courage to misbehave. Everyone thinks Ben is going to ruin me.They think he'll chew me up and spit me out.Well, Ben...go ahead.Tempt me. Taunt me.Make me bad.

Y'all, I loved Make Me Bad. So, so much. As is often the case with Rachel's books, it struck all the right chords with me. It might not have made ME bad, but it definitely made me swoon and giggle. I loved every moment of it.

Madison and Ben's story was just flat out fun. While Madison and I weren't all that similar — aside from the whole love of books thing — I found her SO relatable. Also, I want to be friends with her. Ben's kinda bad boy but really not vibe so worked for me. He definitely deserved more credit than Madison's dad and brother gave him. Together these two were amazing. Their banter was A+ and their chemistry was off the charts. I was utterly charmed by their slooooow burn romance. And the payoff, too. Smokin' hot goodness!

Make Me Bad was a delight. Madison and Ben were wonderful. I adored their story from the very first (and heroic!) meet cute to the epilogue that gave me all the feels. I even adored Madison's meddlesome family, once they let up on Ben some. Rachel has done it again and I'm not at all surprised. There's a reason (or many) she's one of my go-to authors.

I received a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Favorite Quotes:
I've spent my entire life in this exact role: the good girl. The rule-follower. The curfew-keeper. 
It's your life, your only life, and you get to choose how you spend it.

This kiss is going to ruin me. I will have this kiss on a pedestal for the rest of my life, encased in glass.

We accept the love we think we deserve.

"I've spent a lot of hours in this library, a lot of time with my nose stuck in a book. I want a memory that will make me blush every time I walk into this room. I want to do something bad... something very, very naughty."

"It's like I've evolved into my final form: a big, bad butterfly.
