I’m going to give this one a 3.5! I really enjoyed the first better although I like Remi’s character a lot more than Darcy. This one just maybe hit too close to home? But those SEX SCENES

Omg, this Bad Bachelor app is so evil. If you read book 1 then you know. It ruined someone's life. Here the reviews are positive, but if you are trying to put on a show that might fail, then maybe you do not want the press to discuss the size of your private parts instead of your show.

In book 1 we learned who made the app. In this one I got even madder at that person. I can not forgive that person. Enough is enough.

But yes to the book. Wes has a big *beeeep*. Or so the reviews say. He is a good guy. And all he wants is to have his show be a success, on its own merits.

Remy is a dancer who has given up trying to be the dancer she wants to be. She is scared of letting anyone in, and there will be drama. Though, stop and listen woman. Stop and listen!

There is dancing, trying to get ready in time for opening night. And falling in love with someone you maybe should not fall for at this moment. But like they could stop it.

Though listening to it felt long at times cos they talked a lot and sometimes about nothing. That works better in print.

I want to say more about the app creator , but can not. But I guess that person might be a main character in the next book....

I felt she was good at times with her voices and range. But I also felt she did not put enough emotion in her narrating.

I liked the first book in this series a bit more even though I did like Remi and Wes as characters. I just found the library setting a bit more personally appealing than the ballet. If you like contemporary romance set in NYC, this is a good one to add to the TBR :)

I loved so much of this book! However, I HATE the actual app that the whole series is based upon and find it appalling - the fact that it continues existing despite the damage it does just upsets me :-(

Well this is a new author for me and even this is not the first book in the series I loved it.
Remi and Wes are very interesting characters to read and very easy to fall in love with their story and enjoy the reading that has a nice flow. I just finished reading and it passed midnight and I will be grumpy in the morning but who cares, I finished the book that kept me until I saw the end!
Stefanie London didn't disappoint and can't wait to see what will bring us next.

Bad Reputation was an interesting and engaging read. With likable characters and a romance that was slow to build, due to the personal issues of the two lead characters. And there was an intenseness and emotion to them that I particularly liked.

Yet, I did find parts of this story a little messy and didn't feel Wes's reputation was as bad as it's made out to be. But nonetheless it was an enjoyable read and I would certainly read more from this author and series in the future.

Bad reputation

Wow, what a continuation from the first book. There really isn't to much I can say bad about this book. The characters are really good and you will fall in love with each and everyone of them. I'm so glad that this story did the upswing though the app brought him strife I wasn't because he was a d-bag. But the app still brought him heart ache. But overall he still ended up.with an HEA

I quite like Remi and her struggle to overcome her performance anxiety - though for some reason, I don't have her Aussie accent in my head whenever I read her dialogue (she has an American accent, but I did try!). Oh well.

I think the conflicts for Remi's story didn't make as much sense to me as Darcy's - maybe I was missing something, but it kind of felt all a bit over dramatic.

SpoilerI was legit getting mad at Annie at how she could not see that the abuse of the app was not worth all the good it was doing for some ladies (though I begrudgingly respected her for not wanting to mess with the integrity of the site, even though her anti-fake review algorithm was terrible).

I'm really glad the wrongness of the app was articulated - just wish Annie could see what she was doing... Guess we'll see how it'll turn out when her instalment comes up.
