Bad Love
Enemies-to-lovers is my kryptonite, and the books in Bad Love definitely deliver in that department.

1. BAD HABIT by Charleigh Rose
SYNOPSIS
Briar
I was infatuated with Asher Kelley the moment he came tumbling through my brotherβs window five years ago. Even bruised and bloodied, he was the most beautiful boy Iβd ever seen. We couldnβt 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 didnβt 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, heβs back. Callous and cruel. Heβs my brotherβs best friend. My parentsβ worst nightmare. I should hate him. But like a Bad Habit, I canβt 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 Iβd 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 Iβm forced to see her again, but now sheβs all grown up. Sheβs my best friendβs baby sister. My downfall. I hate her for what she did. But sheβs always been my drug of choice.
2. BAD INTENTIONS by Charleigh Rose
SYNOPSIS
Lo
Moving to Riverβs Edge was supposed to be a fresh start. Away from chaos. Away from bad influences and worse relationships. All I wanted was to give my little brother more of a chance than I ever had. It shouldβve been simple. I didnβt count on my transgressions following me. And I definitely didnβt count on meeting Dare. Tall, tortured, and tattooed. A Lost Boy through and through. Falling for someone like him was asking for heartache. But I was a sucker for punishment.
Dare
I had a routine. Eat, work, sleep, repeat, only ever doing the bare minimum to keep up appearances. I kept my circle small and my guard high. I spent years making sure I didnβt repeat the mistakes of my past, forming an impenetrable layer of ice around my heart. Then Logan showed up in my town, in my tattoo shop, testing my patience along with my self-control. She was fire and I was ice. I shouldβve stayed away. But I had been cold for far too long.
3. BAD INFLUENCE by Charleigh Rose
SYNOPSIS
Allie
When I moved to Riverβs Edge, dating was the last thing on my mind. I definitely didnβt expect to fall for him. Jesse Shepherd. Popular. Star athlete. Cocky as hell. You know the type. But as time passed, I realized there was more lurking beneath that gorgeous exterior. Secretive. Angry. A little bit broken. The more I peeled back his layers, the deeper I fell. Until I slammed headfirst into his sea of lies.
Jess
I blew my shot. Pissed everything awayβcollege, lacrosse, my futureβonly to end up right back where I started in Riverβs Edge. I was content to revel in my misery, spending my days drowning in a bottomless pit of booze and girls. Until I saw her. Allison Parrish.
Beautiful. Sarcastic. Perpetual bad attitude. The pretty little distraction from the shit show that was my life. But the sins of my past were closing in on me, and I learned the hard way that nothing gold can stay.
