Full-figured Sandy has been watching various neighbors in apartments across the street with her telescope for several months. "Mr. Dominant" scares but excites her; she's morbidly fascinated with his aggressive sex play. "Mr. & Mrs. Kinky" are always good for a sex fest; they can't keep their hands off of each other. It's fun to fantasize about "Sweet Cheeks" as he works out on his exercise bike. She worries about the health of "Mrs. Blue Hair." Sandy's not really a pervert - she's a perfectly normal person with a very respectable job. She knows she shouldn't be watching them, but she tells herself she's their guardian angel, watching to make sure they're OK. Then one evening she gets a phone call from a man who calls himself Justice, and he tells her she's been a bad girl. He knows what she's been doing, and if she doesn't cooperate with him he'll call the police. She would lose her job if anyone found out about her peeping, so she reluctantly agrees. But something about his voice is seductive and erotic, and soon she finds herself not only willing but also eager to do as he asks. I absolutely loved Bad Girl. I devoured it. In this, her debut print novel, Maya Reynolds has created characters with an intense chemistry and a plot that's rock solid. Ms. Reynolds scores extra points for her exceptionally hot use of sex toys, too. At one point I thought to myself, "If this gets any hotter, my panties are going to melt." The hero is what I consider just about perfect: understanding, sexy, strong without being overbearing, creative and genuine with no games or pretences. The heroine is intelligent and very likeable. You know how sometimes you read a book with a terrific hero and a heroine who doesn't quite deserve him? Not so with this book. This is a fast-paced, exceptionally engaging book. Add a suspenseful element of danger and an ending that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and you've got a phenomenal read. I'm not usually a big fan of romantic suspense, but this book may have permanently changed my opinion. I just know I'll eagerly read anything Maya Reynolds writes. Bad Girl has earned not only a place on my keeper shelf, but also a place on my somewhat short list of all-time favorite books. 5 Kisses, Recommended Read, 5 Peppers (voyeurism, hot sex in public) ~Lindy Reviewer, TwoLips Reviews, LLC [...]

Bad Girl is nothing but Good!

The tables turn on this voyeur when she's caught spying on the neighbors in the building across from her. Fear quickly becomes lust, though, when she realizes that whoever is "teaching her a lesson" is awakening passions in her that she didn't think she was worthy of experiencing. I loved this book because I think the plot was more substantial than others in this genre, and it was not only hot, hot, hot, but suspenseful, too! It was well written, and you can easily identify with the characters. As with most books in this genre, a love connection is made, but the way this author tells their story makes it more believable than others I've read. Dim the lights and get under a cozy blanket, because once you pick this book up, you won't be able to put it back down!

Hoo Boy

BAD GIRL is an erotic suspense novel. Like all good suspense novels it keeps the reader turning pages to discover what happens next. The only difference is the sex scenes are described in graphic detail. Those scenes work. And so does the story: Sandy, a social worker who peeps on her neighbors through a telescope, is caught by Zeke, a police officer whose subsequent personal involvement interferes with his duty. The plot complicates when Sandy is pursued by one of the neighbors on the other end of the telescope---an underworld figure Zeke knows all too well. BAD GIRL is populated with believable characters and written in vivid detail. Readers looking for a suspense novel spiced up with explicitly graphic sex scenes won't be able to put it down.

Shockingly Wonderful

I picked this book up on impulse, the book store was closing in 5 minutes and the cover caught my eye and the synopsis sounded okay. I am SO GLAD I BOUGHT IT! I do not read "erotic" books often, but I could not put this book down. The author has taken two characters that are meant for each other and twisted their lives together is a very sensual way. She tugs at your emotions while expressing the characters. In your mind you know that you shouldn't enjoy this...but you give in, just as Sandy does. I loved, loved, loved this book and I really hope she can put out more soon...I will definitely be waiting!

Edge of your seat erotic romance!!!

Maya Reynolds has created an edge of your seat erotic romance! I absolutely couldn't put it down. Her well-developed characters come to life in a way that pulled me immediately into the story. The hero and heroine were made for each other and their romance is not only very heated, it's touching as well. The villian of her story will mesmerize you. He's the type of character you want to know more about but still keep him at arms length. I can't wait for her next book!!!
