Madison Hart is a children’s librarian who is suddenly held at gunpoint on her walk home from work on her 25th birthday (she had wished for more excitement when she blew out her candle). Her hero, Ben Rosenberg, chases off her attacker and comes to her aid just after being released from jail for starting a brawl in a bar on the wrong side of town.
After these two meet, sparks fly between them but neither acts on it until Ben is sentenced to community service where he unknowingly chooses the library which drops him right in Madison’s lap.
She recognizes with his newly minted rap sheet; Ben is just the right person to “make her bad”. As she proposes this arrangement, he is reluctant. To make sure he complies, she tells him he must agree, or he can do his community service elsewhere. As he considers, Madison is overtaken by the spicy smell of Ben, its intoxicating. In addition to beautiful features and his jaw that could cut granite, she self discloses she is still a virgin and would like to address that too. Ben is floored. What does that mean? Is she looking at him to help her with that, and if so, in what way exactly?
I have never read RS Grey before but Make Me Bad was fun and lighthearted. I LOVE R.S. Grey’s character development and the hysterical internal dialogue. It’s just the thing I needed as an escape from reality.
