I liked this a lot. The way they get stuck together was very pointed, and the fact they each have mistaken assumptions that make them hate one another just made it fun.

A good addition to the Bailey saga. Denver and Cleo are a good couple. I guess you could call this an enemies to lovers story.
Cleo had a lot of baggage that she needed to deal with after her father Chip passed away. Denver had to deal with feeling like everything he loved always left him.
As they come together to try to save her father's business, Denver and Cleo discover they are exactly what one another needs to move forward in their lives and be successful.
This book was full of secrets and unexpected twists. I listened to the audio book. I waa surprised that the male narrator did not have more dialogue since the book was supposed to be about Denver Bailey. The female narrator's voice is pretty much the same with all of the female characters.
The story was interesting, and it had an epilogue. I guess it's Phoenix's story up next.

Meine Gedanken:
Ich mag dieses romantisch verliebte Stirn an Stirn auf dem Cover. Und auch, dass man keine Gesichert sieht, so dass einem die Fantasie nicht genommen wird!
"Confessions of a Bad Boy" ist der fünfte Band der "Baileys" Reihe von Piper Rayne. In jedem Band geht es um eine/n der Bailey's Geschwister. Aktuell sind insgesamt 7 Bände geplant.
In der Regel kann man die Bücher von Piper Rayne unabhängig voneinander lesen, da die Protagonisten je Buch wechseln.
Die Reihe bauen aber schon aufeinander auf, weshalb ich empfehlen würde, die Bände der Serie jeweils der Reihe nach zu lesen.
In diesem Band geht es um Denver Bailey und Cleo Dawson.
Der Roman ist in der ersten Person abwechselnd aus der Sicht der beiden Hauptprotagonisten geschrieben.
Ich liebe die Romane von Piper Rayne. Sie haben einen wundervollen flüssigen und leichten Schreibstil, der immer eine Prise Humor und Sexyness mitbringt.
Denver hasst Verantwortung und liebt es einfach, seinen Traum als Buschpilot zu leben. Zuletzt hat er seinen Chef und Freund Chip in dessen Firma Lifetime Adventures vertreten. Doch nach dessen Tod, soll er nun die Firma übernehmen. Doch nur zu 50%, denn die andere Hälfte soll Chip's Tochter Cleo - die mit High Heels und im Kleid nach Alaska kommt - bekommen.
Der Ärger und die gegenseitigen Vorurteile sind vorprogrammiert.
Fazit:
Ich liebe Piper Rayne und ich liebe - ALLE - Bailey Geschwister. Darum war es auch kein Wunder, dass ich auch von Denver und Cleo begeistert war. Es war so schön wieder nach Lake Starlight zurückzukehren.

This book was perfectly titled. Denver Bailey was everything he'd been made out to be in the other books in this series, but he changed in all the best ways when he partnered up with Cleo. I wasn't sure what to think of Cleo initially because she gave off the rich girl persona, but that's not who she was. There were a couple of surprises, but that's to be expected with the Bailey family. We got to see everyone we've come to love from previous books, but it is not a requirement to read any book before this one. This story stands alone. I really enjoyed this book and I love this series.

I absolutely love the Bailey series! I wasn’t sure Denver was going to be able to win me over but he really did! Wow! He was such a player in the past, never taking anything seriously and he finally has to step up. He meets his match and Cleo is amazing! This is such a beautiful book. I didn’t think it would be so tender and special but Piper and Rayne just keep writing these amazing stories. Thank you to Piper and Rayne. I can always depend on you for the perfect book!

Denver and Cleo have a hate-to-love relationship. They both get thrown into a situation they never expected to be in so soon and neither expected to have to be stuck to the other.
Both characters have some preconceived notions about each other, but as their story goes on and they start to have to listen to each other, layers start to get peeled and they find that they actually like each other. Cleo puts up a massive front and really isn't the character she makes herself out to be. She's completely different to her mother and her sister as she had a rustic and down-to-earth man like her father. Denver hasn't got time for her spoilt brat tendencies and the tension between them is instant. It isn't until they both realise they're not getting anywhere with the business that they talk like adults.
This was another funny and laugh-out-loud book added to the series. Denver and Cleo grew on me and Cleo had great character development. Adding in the TV series gave the bonus of the one-bed trope which I crave and it added all the right bits of tension where needed.
