Audrey has been crushing on her dad’s friend and business partner, Jameson, for years. She finally decides to confront him in the hopes that a one night stand will get her beyond her obsession. Jameson at first tries to resist his own attraction to her because of his relationship with her dad, but once he decides to give in, he’s all in. Now the question is, can Audrey handle all of what Jameson wants? And what will her dad think?
I must admit I liked the rather unconventional way they revealed their relationship to her dad. No spoilers, but it was awesome. This is a great little read, lots of steamy sexy fun with a HEA. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

J.L. Beck is a new author for me, and I really liked her. This was a quick little read but enjoyable, I like to see each side of the story so I was able to understand Audrey's and Jameson's feelings for each other as well as how they are going to move forward or not and if they should bring it to her father's attention. I can't wait to see more of their story!

JL Beck is a new to me author and I really enjoyed her writing style! Bad For You is quick hot and sexy novella. Audrey has had a crush on her dad's best friend, Jameson for quite a while. Finally, with a little liquid courage and her friend's encouragement Audrey decides to take matters into her own hands and confront Jameson. Jameson has been attracted to Audrey for quite some time but has tried to fight his attraction because of his best friend. When Audrey confronts him his control slips and Jameson gives in to the attraction between them that sizzles. Jameson quickly realizes that one time with Audrey will never be enough. Things change for Jameson and he is ready to stand by Audrey's side no matter what. This story is a sexy and quick read that left me wanting to know what happens next for Audrey and Jameson. Can a relationship between Audrey and Jameson really work? Can they stand together when others want to tear them apart? I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

This book was a very short, quick read.
Audrey has had a thing for Jameson Briggs for awhile. However, she knew better than to act upon it because of two very important facts.
1.) He is her father's best friend
2.) He is also her father's business partner
Jameson also has feelings/a thing for Audrey but because of the reasons above knows it is wrong and fights it.
After they give into these feelings they have different opinions on what to do about her father. I will say that I loved the unconventional way Audrey's father finds out about them. Howeve, was left wanting more because we don't get the whole story. So, you will be left with a cliffhanger. I will say it is worth it though because there will be more.
Overall this was a fun, hot, quick read!!

This is the first book I have ever read by J.L. Beck and the author does not let me down at all. This story tells the tale about a young woman lusting after her father's best friend. One night after getting highly drunk with a friend she hops in a cab and takes herself to the homes of Jameson, the man that has been starring in all her naughty dreams for way to long. After a very long night of hot and naughty sex Aubrey is nervous about her father finding out about the two of them being together. Jameson on the other hand could care less if his best friend found out that he was in a relationship with his very hot daughter. The story is smoking hot and lightening fast but by the end you are rooting for the couple. I can't wait to see what will happen next for Aubrey and Jameson in their tale of Love and Sex.

Bad For You is a quick and steamy read! Audrey has it bad for her father's best friend and business partner. She's been saving herself for him even though it's wrong and her father would never approve. After a night out of drinking with her friend she gets enough liquid courage to go see the man of her dreams. She has no idea how Jameson will react but she wants to find out.
Jameson has always known Audrey had a crush on him, but the age difference and the fact that she's the daughter of his best friend has made her off limits. Or has it? Does he care about the consequences? After just one night with Audrey he's ready to suffer the consequences just to have her all to himself. If you like older man/younger woman reads then this is the novella for you! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

J.L Beck never seizes to amaze me and keep me wanting more once I finish reading her books! Bad for you is no different and I can't wait to pick up the final product when it goes live! Now back to the hot read that Ms.Beck wrote this time, and what a HOT read! Audrey and her dad's best friend Jameson have a secret desire for each other and when they admit it the chemistry is steaming. I truly enjoyed the read because it was something different from the typical erotic read. I don't usually enjoy the younger girl/ older man relationship but Bad for you was good for me! I loved it and the steamy scenes do not disappoint.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. Ms Beck has done it again with this sexy, sweet, steamy and quick read. Audrey is a young lady who has had a crush on her dad's best friend Jameson whom she is an assistant to at the business the two men own. I loved the way Audrey went after what she wanted after talking to her best friend one evening and went to his house to make her feelings known to Jameson. Jameson has been holding back his feelings for Audrey out of respect for his friend. However, once the two share a night together everything changes. I loved this book and highly recommend it to fans for Ms Beck. I can not wait for her next release.

This was a quick and dirty story that took about a half hour to read. It is a younger woman/older man combined with a daddy's best friend type of storyline. Audrey and Jameson have liked each other from afar for quite some time. Due to him being her father's best friend (and business partner) neither of them had acted on their feelings. That was, until now. When they get together sparks fly, but will it be a one and done thing? How will her father react when he finds out? Do they stand a chance at a future? I recommend reading this one to find out.

JL Beck has done it again with another hot hit. If you have read her work before you know just how seductive and hot her stories get and this one is no different. An Older Man/younger woman interoffice romance. If you havent read her before, I definitely recommend that you take a weekend off and read all her books. They are great hot sexy with amazing Alphas and loving ladies. They get you hot, hit you with the feels and leave you with wanting more. 5 Stars for Bad for you and cannot wait for the next installment to this one.

Bad for You is so bad for you. This is a super-fast story about a girl with a crush on her dad’s best friend. With a little advice from her best friend she finally decides to act on it.
Audrey decides to make her move on Jameson. Jameson is more than ready to take care of his best friend’s daughter in more ways than one. He’s ready to make every fantasy come true. Audrey is willing to keep whatever they are doing a secret from her father.
How will they make it work? How will they keep it a secret?
Be prepared for explosive chemistry and everything left up in the air.

Quick read about Audrey, a young woman who's been crushing for a few years on her father's best friend and business partner Jameson, and the events that transpire one night after she gathers the courage (with a little bit of help from some alcoholic beverages), to finally make her move on Jameson. Their sexy times are hot right from the start and they've got obvious chemistry, but the big question is what will Audrey's father think about what's happening between the two of them, and how will it affect their company? Can't wait to find out with the next installment!

It a sexy fast easy read. Who doesn't love a forbidden love romance. Audrey been crushing on her dad best friend and business partner for a while. With a little liquid courage, she wants one night with Jameson and goes for it. They have mixed feeling cause no one wants to hurt her dad's feelings. But once Jameson has a taste, he wants more.....I can't wait for the next book, I definitely want more of Jameson. Received an ARC for an honest review.
June 22, 2017
This is such a fun and sexy as hell book. I loved how Jameson tried so hard to fight his attraction because of his loyalty but once he decided he was perfect. Audrey, while I didn't like her right away for whatever reason, decided it was time to take action and take matters into her own hands. This is a sweet story and had an incredibly quick pace. JL Beck did not let me down with the heat in this book but I would love to know more......
June 22, 2017
Loved this read. For a short read it packed full of hotness. I'm kind of glad it was a short read since I couldn't put it down. This story is a bit taboo but if you focus on the people themselves you will love it. In this stoey we have Aubrey who is crushing on her dad's best friend. It only takes one night to change things!! J.L. leaves you wanting more and I can't wait!!! Love all of J.L. Becks work!!

Whoops. I got this as an ARC but forgot to leave a review in time. my bad.
It's very short, needs an editor to really go through and pick apart the mistakes, but I've noticed that for every book I've read of hers so far and all but this one that I've read were not ARCs...
Anywho it's a cute story, I'd be interested in seeing where it went but her stories are all really predictable so I think I know how it'll end.

The book cover does this book justice.
This is a short story about Audrey, her father's best friend and business partner James.
This is the story of their journey.
There is a conflict in Audrey's soul for many years. She is sassy, witty and damn good looking.
This is a fast pace read story with realistic characters. Very well described. Action packed, very steamy and humour moments.
Entertaining, funny, with a happy ever after
