This was a such a great read! Darcy and Reed are fantastic leads for this story and I found it very hard to put down. They both had issues they needed to overcome and their relationship grew at a realistic pace, which made for a satisfying romance. The side characters add a little bit extra to the book as well.
The writing itself is easy to follow and quite entertaining.
This is the first book by Stefanie London I have read but it won't be the last.

I loved this book, and the only reason I didn’t consume it in one sitting was that life got in the way. I loved Reed, I mean, who could not? I felt so sorry for him with the ever-growing number of reviews on the app. Some of them were funny though, and so at odds with the personality we were watching develop on the page. Darcy was his perfect match. Strong, sexy, and would not let him get away with anything.
As usual Stefanie London’s writing was on point, well-developed world building, an ingeniously evil mind when it comes to the ‘Bad Bachelors App,’ and excellent character development including all the secondary characters.
I’d highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever read a bad review and wondered about the real story behind it.
* I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book given to me by the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was my second book I’ve read by Stefanie London and I think it’s safe to say she’s fast becoming one of my instant one click authors! I really enjoyed this sweet, sexy read, it was laugh out loud funny and I loved the opposites attract thing! The banter really made this book, and I love that Darcy didn’t fall at Reed’s feet like he was used to.
5 stars, a brilliant read!

As this was the author's first single title novel after all previous stories being novellas or category romance, it took a bit longer to read than her past stories. This was a good thing though as it allowed for more story development.
As soon as the name of the Bad Bachelors app owner/head writer was mentioned I guessed accurately who it was. While that part wasn't a surprose to me, it took right until very near the end to find out why the hero Reed had such a strong dislike of libraries and it was a surprise. I do like that the way Reed's feelings on libraries were written that it was a reminder that libraries still have a place even with the prevalence of ebooks and the internet. I had actually made a comment while reading about wanting to know why Reed had such an intense dislike of libraries.
Prior to reading the book, I thought the idea of the app that the series will revolve around sounded super beneficial but after reading this book I realise that that type of platform is open enough to abuse to be less helpful than it sounds.
I don't know how I'm going to be patient waiting for the second book in the series - Bad Reputation to release.

Reed McMahon is a prime example of what women should steer clear of, a Bad Boy. He is drop dead gorgeous with a rockin body and knows how to use it. Men are envious of him, women swoon and drop their panties for him. Women think they can change him, but good luck as he refuses to let anyone in and emotional ties and feelings are definitely off Reed's menu. That is until Darcy Greer.
Darcy is everything his "type" isn't. She is outspoken, sassy and sports tattoos over her body, a harlot in goth clothing. Who knew a librarian could get away with that look. Reed surprises himself by actually thinking she is a refreshing change to all the women he is accustomed to. Reed's popularity at being a screw them and leave them type of guy with the ladies has caught up with him and landed him in some deep waters. A new internet app called Bad Bachelors has put him at the top of their list for douche hats. Normally he does not let this kind of tripe bother him, but it is putting his job he has worked so hard for at risk. He needs this job to take care of his ailing father. So he has to take action to ensure he keeps it.
This is where Reed and Darcy cross paths. She needs to raise money for the library where she works, and Reed is an expert in PR. He takes on the task of having a fund raiser to bring the library back to life. The two of them are like oil and vinegar, but the sexual chemistry between them is too sizzling hot to deny. Darcy is more than Reed bargained for as she has the ability to draw out his vulnerabilities and discover his soft underbelly.
I loved the back and forth banter between these 2 characters. It was a fun and sexy read. This is the first book I have read of Stefanie's, but definitely not my last.

One of my new all-time favourite contemporary romances!
Reviewed in Canada on 6 December 2020Verified Purchase
I loved this book! It’s definitely one of my new all-time faves, a designation I only give to books I would want to re-read multiple times.
I read Bad Reputation first by accident (really enjoyed it) and knew I needed to go back and read the first one in the series. Now having read all the books in the series I can unequivocally declare Bad Bachelor my favourite, followed very closely by Bad Reputation.
I loved both Reed and Darcy. They were such a great opposites-attract pairing and it was so enjoyable reading about how they bring out the best in each other.

Five honest, not at all biased (unlike the ladies who reviewed Reed on the Bad Bachelor app) stars.
Reviewed in the United States on 7 March 2018Verified Purchase
This book contains both sex and cursing (including f-bombs) - if those things bother you, you should skip this one.
To tell the truth, I was unsure how this book premise was going to play out because the whole “Bad Bachelor” website concept felt sort of icky to me, but Ms. London eventually addresses all of the things that are so wrong about that kind of website and more, so if you're on the fence about the concept, you need not worry, it gets dealt with perfectly.
I loved Darcy and Reed. I don't say that lightly, I really loved them. This book is pretty long for the romance genre, and it comes to a complete and wonderful conclusion, but I found myself feeling disappointed as the book drew to a close because I just wanted *more* of them together. Reed was complex and so incredibly likable that I found myself rooting for him from the start despite the (absolutely hilarious) reviews of his, uh, relationship performances. And Darcy was extremely likable from start to finish, but the highlight was the banter between these two. Although they were great apart, when they were on the page they were combustible, and I found myself laughing out loud as I read – that's the sign of a great book.
Hopefully this becomes a series (I assume Annie and Remi will get books, but I would love to read Cynthia's story, too!) and that we find out these two really did live happily ever after because I just love them together.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good enemies-to-lovers story and a fresh new idea in this day and age of the same-old-same-old in the romance genre. Five honest, not at all biased (unlike the ladies who reviewed Reed on the Bad Bachelor app) stars.

Sexy Bachelor
Reviewed in the United States on 6 March 2018Verified Purchase
This story was perfect, I love the frenemies to lovers storyline and this book was absolute perfection. From the minute Darcy meets Reed she has preconceived notions about him. She did after all read about him being number one on a bad bachelor app, he definitely did not have any good reviews if you thought you wanted a relationship with him. Reed meets Darcy when he shows up at the library she works at and offers to run a fundraiser for her library. Even though they are opposites there was an attraction between the two. But Darcy knew to stay away because of the reviews on that app. The banter between these two was awesome. Just the way they went back and forth you could sense the sexual tension even though they both wanted to deny it. What worked for them is that they didn’t try to change one another or change themselves for the other person. Reed was able to open up to Darcy just a little bit because when she first met him she didn’t fall all over him like he is used to women doing. Darcy treated him like the cocky jerk she thought he was because of the app and because of that she was honest with him and that made him see her differently.
It was nice seeing Darcy’s strained relationship with her mom somewhat mirror Reed’s relationship with his dad. When Reed and Darcy finally got together it was HOT. This book will definitely be a re read for me, I loved everything about this book. My only complaint was that it had to end.
