(Synopsis) He’s so arrogant.

She’s so self-righteous.

I can’t stand him.

I want her.

He’s a distraction I don’t need.

She’ll say yes eventually because I’m not giving up.

Justine Porter is stuck between a rock and a stripper pole. She lost her law school scholarship, which means she has two choices to keep her life on track: strip for her tuition or tutor the most distractingly sexy guy in her class—the one she’s been turning down for two years straight. It should be an easy choice, but tutoring Ryker Grant could derail her plans to graduate with honors faster than two-for-one night at the Déjà Vu. Then again, topless has never really been her color.

She could take the easy road, just this once . . . but the deal has enough loopholes to trip anyone up.

Who knew they taught bad judgment in law school?

The year 2016 marks the time when I became a Meghan March fangirl. Bad Judgment is my 11th book by her this year and the first standalone. Although, I'm kinda wishing it was part of a series. Because I don't think I got nearly enough of Ryker Grant.

Justine is a hard-core law student. She has to be in order to keep her full-ride scholarship because without it, she can't go to school. She can't afford to be distracted by men, even if one man in particular is the hottest thing on two legs. It's why she's turned him down every time he's asked her out. For two whole years. But, Ryker's dry spell is finally over. Because Justine's scholarship has been yanked, and tutoring Ryker is the only way she can make enough to stay in school and graduate. 

Justine is the kind of female character that really does it for me. She's confident and driven and smart and able to say no to a hot guy that's a sure thing. She's motivated by the right things - she wants to make herself better and help people in the process. And, let's face it. She's totally right about Ryker. If she had allowed herself to get involved with him, he WOULD have been a huge distraction. 

She also knows to accept help when it's offered, even if it puts her in regular close contact with the guy who is starting to consume her thoughts. And, when things get too complicated and she feels her morals slipping away, she knows when to change the game to make things right again. It's that last one that really impressed me - it's not something you see often in books, so it was so awesome to see it here. 

Ryker is a guy in more than one tough spot. He's feeling pressure from his dad, he doesn't know what to do with the rest of his life, and the girl he can't stop thinking about won't give him a shot. Ryker was beyond charming. He was so adorable and endearing, and I promise you will be cheering for him from the very first time you meet him. 

Meghan March's typical steamy heat is definitely present in Bad Judgment. When Justine and Ryker take their anger and frustration out on one another, it manifests into some crazy hot encounters. But, it was never hate screwing - no, the reader could tell that, at least for Ryker, he's interested in way more than a one-night stand, and he uses all his talents to woo Justine. And, he's a good wooer. 

Bad Judgment went too fast for me. Could be because I couldn't put it down once I stopped. It was funny at times, definitely sexy and incredibly fulfilling once I reached the end. I loved every minute. 

Meghan March has been known to wear camo face paint and tromp around in woods wearing mud-covered boots, all while sporting a perfect manicure. She's also impulsive, easily entertained, and absolutely unapologetic about the fact that she loves to read and write smut. Her past lives include slinging auto parts, selling lingerie, making custom jewelry, and practicing corporate law. Writing books about dirty talking alpha males and the strong, sassy women who bring them to their knees is by far the most fabulous job she's ever had. She loves hearing from her readers at meghanmarchbooks@gmail.com.
