Bad Reputation by Nicole Edwards Book Summary

Meet the most wanted players in sports . . . one ridiculously hot alpha male at a time.

Chase: With a nickname like “Sin,” it’s no wonder they call me the bad boy of hockey. Opponents curse me. Fans scream my name—in the arena and in other, much more private places. Penalties or not, I’m not afraid to dish out a little pain. But pleasure? That’s my weakness. And no one knows it better than my best friend, Cassie Desrosiers. I’d have to be blind not to notice her rocking body and teasing grin. So when she invites me along on a trip to Vegas, my curiosity isn’t the only thing that’s aroused.

Cassie: Chase Barrett is a world-class A-hole. As his best friend, I’m allowed to call him on his BS. Who else is going to do it? Certainly not the puck bunnies swooning at every flex of his biceps. Everyone knows that Chase is the love-’em-and-leave-’em type. There’s no such thing as commitment for the king of casual hookups. So why should I care? Maybe because all work and no play makes me a sexually frustrated girl. It’s time to put the hockey stud at my beck and call to good use . . . but after a week in Vegas with Chase, I might never want to go back to the real world.

Sexy and fun. I thoroughly enjoyed this friends to lovers story. It is a mixture of sweetness, sexiness and laughter. This is a fun and entertaining story about two friends who are afraid to show their true feelings for each other because they are sure it will ruin their friendship. Chase plays professional hockey for the Texas Tornados. He is a big, gruff guy with a charming, protective and caring side. Chase has had a secret crush on his best friend, Cassie for years but he keeps her in the friend zone because he is afraid if they started a romantic relationship and it didn't work out, he would lose his best friend. Chase is funny, and just an all around nice guy. He is the bad boy of hockey and has a reputation as a manwhore. Women are always falling all over Chase. He uses the women for sex but it is his best friend, Cassie who he spends all his time with. Cassie is smart and driven and has a successful career with a software company. She is a workaholic and doesn't have time to date and would never think of having a one night stand. She is prim and proper and the exact opposite of Chase in every way. She refuses to depend on anyone, especially a man. This is a captivating storyline with engaging characters. I like both Chase and Cassie. They have a great friendship and they care about each other but have to continually fight their mutual attraction to each other. Since meeting in college, they have always been there for each other and even though they are total opposites, they bring out the best each other. I also enjoyed Cassie's best friend Natalie and all the other secondary characters in this story. The story is told from alternate POV’s so we know what both the characters are feeling. This is the first book in the the Bad Boy of Sports series and I can't wait to read more. I was given an advanced copy of this book to write an honest review for Netgalley and Cocktails and Books.

Fantastic. This book is a fantastic start to what should be a fun, sexy new series. It's a great friends to lovers story with the bad boy of hockey Chase "Sin" Barrett and his bestie Cassie Desrosiers. While there's always been a string of attraction between them, neither has ever wanted to risk their friendship for what would surely crash and burn in no time. Chase does have that love em and leave em rep! Things change quickly when they spend a week in Vegas. What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas!! Great read and one I highly recommend.

4 Sin Stars!. An enjoyable friends to lovers story. I will say I was expecting more of a bad boy in Chase but he was actually a really nice guy and I liked that about him. I love sports romance books and the ones that don't have a player H are always a nice surprise. Cassie was a likeable heroine. She was smart and beautiful, if maybe a little to prim. However, she sure loosened up when they finally got together. I'm not always sold on the friends to lovers scenario but the author did a good job with the reasons they were friends for so long. It made sense and worked for this book. No cheating or abuse and very mild other woman/men drama. ARC provided by NetGalley.

Sinfully Delicious!!. I am a huge Nicole Edwards fan and this is a fantastic first book in her newest series!! I just adore Chase and Cassie!! This book had two things I love: the best friends to lovers trope and hockey, doesn't get much better than that for me. This storyline is amazing and I just love the way everything plays out for Chase and Cassie. He is the sexy bad boy of hockey and she has been his best friend since she tutored him in college 9 years earlier. That is where any similarities to other stories ends. Ms. Edwards takes us on a journey I know I won't soon forget. I laughed, I swooned, I teared up some, and I probably even blushed a bit. There are some incredibly sexy steamy scenes between these two. What would you expect after 9 years of bottled up love and passion is finally unleashed. Absolutely LOVE the epilogue! 5 sweet and steamy stars! Pick this one up, you will be happy you did.

Sizzling Chemistry!. This is the first story by Nicole Edwards that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. This was a fast paced friends to lovers Romance. This story was so freaking entertaining. I loved the flirty fun vibe this story had going on. Everything about it was great from their trusting and close friendship to one another as well as Chase’s secret feelings for Cassie. I had so much fun reading it. I was smiling and laughing and l really enjoyed getting to know both Cassie and Chase and watch their relationship grow into more. If you want to read something entertaining, sweet and sexy, with a nice amount of heat and some mild drama this is it. I voluntarily requested and reviewed an ARC of this book.

Bad Business. To be fair I love Nicole. And also to be fair I have read every book so comparing them is something that just happens. For this one the characters are as good as she always gives. Well developed, sexy with some angst mixed in. Her first writing offered in this form of "sports" it took me awhile to get into the book. It really does not feel like Nicole until like 4000 pages in. Then it gets rolling like we are used to. I really want the 4000 pages in to start in the first chapter like all the books before. It is just not "Nicole enough" and those die hard fans will know exactly what I mean. Chase is a perfect mix and a new play away from alpha...Cassie is sassy but very easy to attach too. Just used to way more heat!! Still in all a good read.

Loved it. I received this ARC from Net Galley for an honest review. I loved it. Friendship, love, fear....those are the things this book is based on. A hockey bad boy & a buttoned up corporate executive who are best friends move through their relationship with a definite ease until one working trip to Las Vegas turns everything on end for them. After a night spent drinking & coming up with stories for each couple they see in the hotel bar, Chase & Cassie unknowingly at first make a huge change to their relationship. Still unaware of the change to their relationship they embark on the physical aspect that they've been denying themselves but it has devastating consequences. Now with things changing the fear of losing the one most important person in their lives brings it all to a screeching halt & the admission that they never thought they'd make..... they did the unthinkable and fell in love. This book was very funny with Chase's devil may care personally & Cassie's need to egg Chase on & also how they each tried to find the perfect person for the other (with some hilarious situations). It was sweet in the love & friendship these two shared for so many years, and it was wonderfully heartbreaking when neither knew how to put their friendship back on track or how to tell the other how they really felt. I laughed, I cried & I didn't want to put this book down. Definitely recommend to read.

Best friends to lovers!. Chase has been dubbed the Bad Boy of Hockey because he enjoys the single life. Cassie is a top executive in the technology industry and is a workaholic. Chase and Cassie have been best friends for nine years, knowing that if they took it to the next level, they would wreck their friendship. But when Cassie has a conference in Las Vegas, she invites Chase along so they can let loose in Las Vegas at night as her conference is during the day. The first night there, they get really drunk on tequila and neither one remembers the thing. The second night the tequila doesn't flow as well as the first night, but they have a good time and things get out of hand and they have a passion filled night. Then one thing after another goes wrong for Cassie from there on out. Although I really enjoyed the story, I didn't think that Chase was a really "bad boy" because he hadn't been with a woman in six months. And I thought that Cassie was just a bit too prim and proper to turn into a lush in Vegas. They seemed to be polar opposites to be best friends. But the sex scenes were steamy, steamy, steamy! I received an ARC copy from Random House - Loveswept through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.
