Review of Bad Things by R.K. Lilley
Bad Things by R.K. Lilley
Rating: 5 drop'em like their hot panty rating
Synopsis:
Danika hasn’t had an easy life. Being insanely attracted to bad boys has never helped make it easier.
One look at Tristan, and every brain cell she possessed went up in smoke. This man was trouble with a capital T. It was a given.
She knew better. Bad boys were bad. Especially for her. Considering her history, it was crazy to think otherwise. So why did crazy have to feel so damn fine?
For as long as she could remember, Danika had been focused on the future with single-minded purpose. Tristan came along and taught her everything there was to know about letting go, and living in the present. She fell, hard and deep. Of course, that only made her impact with the ground that much more devastating.
Bad Things is about Tristan and Danika, and their train wreck of a love story. This series can be read as a standalone, or with the Up in the Air series.

Review:
When I read the Up In The Air series by R.K. Lilley I was instantly
intrigued by Tristan and Danika’s characters.
These two are the headliners this go around and they bring their A
game.
Danika is the beautiful female lead. She comes from an abusive background and it
shows in her choice of always picking the bad boy. She has learned that the more stability she
has in her life, the better.…… Well then along comes resident bad boy Tristan.
Hold on to your panties ladies, this man is smoking
hot!! If his good looks and charm didn’t
reel you in, maybe his ability to make a scrumptious chocolate chip cookie
will!
He’s a mean machine in the kitchen
and his specialties are cookies and good old greasy hangover breakfasts. He’s got the whole package folks!
Tristan and Danika immediately strike up a fast friendship. The chemistry these two people have together
is amazing. The way they play off of
each other and interact really draws you into the story. Little by little Danika's outlook starts to
crumble as Tristan teaches her to live more in the moment and to just cut
loose.
The first part of the story is them developing a deep level of
friendship, but as you are reaching the halfway point it becomes very apparent
that something is gonna have to give because the sexual tension is thick, let
me tell ya.
“I want you to let go. I want you to submit. I want to make you lose your mind. I want you to be so far gone that the only
word left in your vocabulary is my name.” Tristan Vega
Wowzers, when Ms. Lilley breaks that tension she knows what she’s
doing. Let’s just say that there’s a scene
in a parking garage, with a hot car, and rain…..something similar to this.
By this point I was so into the depths of the story I came out on
the other end and I'm pretty sure I looked a little like this.....
Tristan has his share of ghosts from the past to deal with
also. Because of a failed relationship he
has commitment issues; this brings around baggage that he has to work through
before he can fully commit to Danika.
Between the two of them, they finally get everything worked out and this
first installment doesn’t end on a cliffhanger relationship wise.
In reading the Up In The Air series, we know some of Tristan and
Danika’s history. Even though this first
book ended with a good air, we know these two have some “oh shit” moments ahead
of them. Even if you haven’t read UITA
that’s ok, there are no spoilers in Bad Things.
There are characters from UITA that make appearances which I really
liked. (Who doesn’t love James
Cavendish????) I personally liked
reading UITA first, then moving on to Bad Things.
The second book in this series is called Rock Bottom and is
coming soon. CAN. NOT. WAIT!!!
