The start of the summer holiday provided me with some time to catch up on a number of books. Unfortunately due to the busy time period in which I needed to read Bad Girl Reputation I missed out on the chance to read its predecessor. Last month I finally reached for my first Elle Kennedy book after seeing this very popular author’s novels splashed all over my Instagram feed. What is Cooper hiding from Mac and will she accept it? But a secret lurks in the shadows, threatening to derail this new relationship. This love story is destined to go far and soon Mac becomes an essential part of Cooper’s life.

In fact, Cooper detests wealthy college students like Mac. While Mac has everything she wants and needs, Cooper’s situation is very different. It is clear that Mac and Cooper are from opposing sides of the town.

But soon this simple acquaintance morphs into something much more and Mac falls for Cooper’s charms. Cooper is everything that Mac wishes to avoid. However, a connection with a notorious local bad boy named Cooper tests Mac to her very limits. Mac has always been tempted to explore her bad girl side, but she knows how to rein in these tendencies. As a result, Mac has decided to go to college at her parent’s place of preference, which happens to be Avalon Bay. Mac has high hopes and dreams in her head but she also has her family’s best interests at heart. Mac is someone who aims to please and she always plays by the rules. Relaxing, easy-going and saucy, lovers of modern romance stories will definitely enjoy this one.

Elle Kennedy’s 2022 romantic beach life release is a classic good girl meets bad boy story. The bestselling author of the Outlaws series introduces Good Girl Complex. But as Mac finally starts feeling accepted by Cooper and his friends, the secret he’s been keeping from her threatens the only place she’s ever felt at home. Their friendship soon becomes the realest thing in her life.ĭespite his disdain for the trust-fund kids he sees coming and going from his town, Cooper soon realizes Mac isn’t just another rich clone and falls for her. Mac’s had plenty of practice suppressing her wilder impulses, but when she meets local bad boy Cooper Hartley, that ability is suddenly tested. That means moving to the beachside town of Avalon Bay, a community made up of locals and the wealthy students of Garnet College. Unlike most twenty-year-olds, all she really wants to do is focus on growing her internet business, but first she must get a college degree at her parents’ insistence. It’s exhausting, really, always following the rules. Mackenzie ‘Mac’ Cabot is a people pleaser. Full of romance, hijinks, and longing, Good Girl Complex is Elle Kennedy at her very best… She does everything right.
