Recommendation
This is the second book I’ve read by Charleigh Rose, and I find myself wanting more and more. I devoured this book, reading it in one night. Bad Habit was sexy, twisted and full of surprises. It is about the growth of a young love, the mistakes and tribulations made along the way and the individual journeys of the two main characters. Briar and Asher stole my heart from the moment he climbed through that window. Asher was so hot. He was the perfect mix of possessive and dominant while Briar was funny, strong and complete putty in his hands. Their connection was electric and the sexual tension between them was smoking hot. Trust me, a Bad Habit never sounded so good.
Excerpts
I want to wrap that golden hair around my fist and smash my lips into hers. Make her pay for what she did as I fuck her punishingly from behind.
"How do you want to come then?"
"The only way I've ever wanted to. With you inside me."
I feel a delicate hand rub my thigh, and though I know her attempt is to calm me down, she's doing the opposite. She's making my dick hard, and all I want is to fuck her, right here and now, to prove that she belongs to me. Only me.
Publisher synopsis
BRIAR
I was infatuated with Asher Kelley the moment he came tumbling through my brother’s window five years ago.
Even bruised and bloodied, he was the most beautiful boy I'd ever seen.
We couldn't ever be together.
I was too young, and he was too untouchable.
He was too troubled, and I was too naive.
But the heart is rebellious, and mine decided it didn’t care about any of those things.
As I got older, harmless flirting turned to stolen moments in dark corners.
Until one day, he was gone without a trace.
Now, three years later, he’s back.
Callous and cruel.
He’s my brother’s best friend. My parents’ worst nightmare.
I should hate him.
But like a Bad Habit, I can’t quit him.
ASHER
I was drawn to Briar Vale from the first time she looked up at me with stars in her big, blue eyes.
She was just a kid, nothing but elbows and knees, but she was the most beautiful creature I'd ever seen.
We could never be together.
I was too old and she was too off limits.
She was too good and I was too fucked up.
Eventually, the temptation became too much to resist.
I risked everything for a kiss and she betrayed me.
Three years have passed and I’m forced to see her again, but now she's all grown up.
She’s my best friend’s baby sister. My downfall.
I hate her for what she did.
But she's always been my drug of choice
